I love the decor- very mythical fishermen with posters for movies and wanted signs. They have an extensive menu, including alcohol and their cider comes in 500ml bottles. I've been told it's quite expensive in local standards but for the atmosphere it's worth it. I'd like to give a shoutout to one of the chefs. We had shown up here and the hostess had said they were not taking any one without a reservation. But there were open tables. Disappointed, we walked out. Standing in front of the restaurant, trying to figure out what to do, the cook comes out and says they will make room for us. Absolutely the sweetest. We were so stoked to eat at this place again. He even brought out tasty food out to us himself!

The local chippy may have won some awards, but the takeaway vibe isn't so enticing. So when you want a bit more of a dining experience this is a modest cafe style setting that's nicely decorated in the centre of town. We parked in the back streets on a meter. My haddock and chips and Sam's cod and chips were freshly made and really good. Our waitrees gave us friendly service and was attentive.

The meat of the fishes were both really tender (haddock and the cod). You get a huge portion for the large size and even the small cod I got seemed pretty big. They use a gluten free batter for the fish which was pretty unique and tasty. They use rapeseed oil for frying which is also gluten free. I really don't care for gluten free food but would prefer this batter over the traditional ones which seemed less heavy! The scampi uses a traditional batter which was heavier but still pretty good. Their fries are thick and has a great texture. The fries does not feel oily. Looks like they have two locations: wapping wharf (which is closer to the city and new) and chew valley. This one is located inside a street of small store on the left and door is usually closed and you have to slide it open so be on the lookout for the name of the restaurant on the window. We parked on the street. Definitely worth a try!

We got there a few hours before closing time and couldn't get a table right away - we were told to come back in an hour but we asked if it would still be possible to get their fish & chips.

The chips were tasty and the mushy peas were actually good which I wasn't expecting! I'd travel all the way back to England just for this meal at the Scallop Shell.
