This is what I consider to be the best fish and chip shop in the Cardiff bay area. It's all to easy…read moreto be drawn into one of the franchises that are around thinking that you will get top quality fish and chips. The reality is that this small shop tucked quietly around the corner from Mermaid Quay offers the crispiest of batter and the best cooked chips you will find in this part of town. You may well find yourself queuing up outside the door for service but if that doesn't tell you something, when you get inside the door and see how well kept the food preparation areas are, and then you are greeted by the friendly staff who are clearly rushed off of their feet, you will notice that the prices are very reasonable. This is a locally owned store rather than a large franchise and the quality of the freshly cooked fish really shows the difference. If you're in the bay and want this kind of take away food then you should definitely make the 2 minute journey away from the bay to give them a try.

Horrible experience here. The staff are very rude and insulting. Also very unsanitary conditions…read more Food was OK, but would never go back.

I don't know if Albany Fish Bar has gone downhill over the years - it must have because I keep…read moreseeing everywhere how fantastic they are but after ordering from here several times and being disappointed every single time I am here to warn everyone. DISCLAIMER: I've only ever ordered from Albany Fish Bar off Deliveroo - I haven't actually physically been in the shop myself so cannot speak on customer service or anything like that CHIPS: The only thing that saves this place from 1 star. Their chips are actually pretty decent. Not the best I have but well-cooked. I probably would be satisfied if I only ever order chips from Albany. FISH: Just awful. They leave the skin on, which normally isn't a huge issue but the skin is not crispy and is just a soggy mess. I have to dissect my fish and remove the skin otherwise you get a mouthful of squidge. So if you like non-crispy fish skin, maybe that's for you. However... *BONE WARNING BONE WARNING BONE WARNING* I've ordered from Albany Fish Bar several times (I know, I never seem to learn my lesson) and EVERY SINGLE TIME the fish has been riddled with bones. I spend more time picking tiny bones out of my teeth than actually enjoying my meal. The only reason why I've ordered from them more than once is because if you're doing delivery, there are very limited options depending on time of day. I always end up thinking "Maybe I just got unlucky" but with the fish being consistently awful I can't do it anymore. If I have a craving for fish and chips, I'd rather eat canned soup than the fish from Albany's at this point. --- Overall, come here for everything else but fish.

They were even helpful enough to give us a whole thing of vinegar since it was complicated to know who wanted salt and vinegar, just salt, just vinegar and so on! While we don't visit Taunton very often, there's a reason this place has a line out of the door on Tuesday lunchtimes! Very friendly, attentive, and many of our family having the fish especially said it was the best fish, they've ever had from a fish and chip shop!

The food is all locally and sustainably sourced, so it's a fairly guilt-free way to eat, calories notwithstanding! Many of the pies are made in house rather than ordered from a supplier, so it is always worth asking if there is something special to try. Portions are big so you probably won't need to go near the large options unless you're sharing. Prices are pretty cheap considering the quality and quantity of the food, and there is ample parking out back, particuarly useful if you choose to sit in the small cafe that adjoins to the takeaway.

There has been much debate over the years as to Cardiff's best Fish & Chip shop. I heard a few when…read moreI first moved back and, dutifully, tried them all. And The Codfather is certainly my top pick. Punnage in the name aside (although I do love a good pun and the shop is all the more memorable when singing its praises than others) this fish and chip shop is fab in my mind because it does fantastic fish and chips. No gimmicks, no cult status, just really good fish and chips. There is usually a bit of a wait, but then that is because the fish is cooked freshly for you. The chips are good, and go well with their proper mushy peas - not too lurid green, but with just enough pea! The staff are always friendly, the place looks clean and there are always other people waiting, but not too many. They do seem to have quite an obsession with dolphins though! My only criticism? They charge you for tartare sauce and the last few times I've been in they've not had pickled onions. But then, that hasn't stopped me going back!

I know a few people who will drive here from the other side of town rather than settle for their less distinguished local chippy. You can spot the Codfather a mile off thanks to its bright blue exterior, and inside it's clean and tidy. They buy their plaice, cod and haddock from local suppliers whenever they can, and it always seems to be covered in consistently good batter, both crisp and fresh. The chips are equally good, and all these are fried to order except at the very busiest of times.

Staff here are always friendly and enjoy a bit of banter with them if we have our supported teams shirt on at the time, it really makes for a friendly atmosphere and brings us back time and time again.
