Forget Posh Fish and Chips!

Above expectations
This little fish shop is located about 5 mins from my flat and to be honest it is the smartest looking chip shop on the Lower Addiscombe road. This made me think it would probably be good, but in fact it was really, really good - and I come from the coast!
The shop is really clean and airy, it also has a restaurant section too, but I opted for takeaway. The fish was cooked to order and they do a good selection of different fish other than (unsustainable) cod. I went for the Haddock and wasn't disappointed. It was very fresh tasting and the batter was crispy - just as it should be.
The chips were also really yummy, fluffy and full of flavour - unlike so many chip shops now days. They serve you up huge portions, you could share a portion of fish and chips between two if you weren't feeling that hungry.
The only thing that let this place down, and bought it down to 4 starts as opposed to 5 was the guy serving was a bit unfriendly, not rude but not that interested. However this hardly matters when you get great food!
Cancel your reservations to your posh fish and chip restaurants like;The Fish Shop on St John's Street and Tom's Place The Fish House offers the same quality for £5 not £16, trust me I have been.
