Food Quality
Pros:
"Best fish n chips in the area so far. Very impressed. Tasty battered sausages too."
"The food is exceptional. They do skinless battered haddock which we love."
"This place sells the best fish and chips in Cleethorpes maybe even the UK! So many different options of fish, with your traditional haddock or cod you get to choose skin on/off."
"The fish and chips were absolutely delicious. The fish was cooked perfectly and was very flaky."
"An excellent meal could not fault it in any way.it compares extremely well with all the other well known fish and chip restaurants in the town.in fact probably better."
"The hidden gem of Grimsby. Forget the fancy fish place on the waterfront - this place has the better food. Wonderful fish: crispy batter, soft flaky flesh. Big portion! Good chips."
"The fish was cooked beautifully."
Cons:
"Had takeaway yesterday for 2 haddock and chips and was amazed when we got home and opened with the size of the the fish they were that small."
"Been to ocean resterant a few times and always had a perfect meal been today it was rubbish the mash potatoes were cold n also garden peas fish was very waterier parsley sause was only just warm."
"Called for takeaway dinners yesterday and was sold just warm chips, fish that tasted like ammonia fishcake was cold in the middle."
"Yesterday the service was appalling to say the least... My mum had Plaice, chips & pot of mushy peas. Looked great until she cut into the middle. Raw, watery and pink/red inside💀🤮"
"The jumbo haddock was tasteless soggy and cold."
"Chips are OK but the fish I got wasn't too fresh, the individual pieces of the fillet didn't come apart and were more squashed together."
"Awful fish and chips - the chips looked like they had been fried about 2-3 times and the fish was dripping with grease and the size of a fish finger."

"The staff were amazing and even though it was busy they couldn't do enough for us."
Cons:

"The staff looked miserable and couldn't wait to clear the table before you had finished your coffee even though it wasn't busy, felt rushed."
"Sad that you have to queue up to pay before you get your food. Not really a restaurant more of a fast food concept."
"Food ok. Very poor service. Left off items from our order and when we asked for them, we were informed that the kitchen was closed."
"Down side thought girl severing was dressed inappropriately for a fish shop."
"Woman who served me wants to learn some manners very unpleasant lady."
"After waiting over 30 mins, they got my order wrong, I asked for a unbattered sausage but gave me battered. Not enough salt and vinegar on my chips and a lot of the chips were hard/undercooked."
Value

"Great price and certainly not skimpy servings."
"Very nice and clean following track trace protocol, food first rate if a little expensive but you get what you pay for its nice to treat yourself or someone special."
"While I could have built a garage extension for the price of this meal, to be fair even a visit to Poundland requires a credit check these days. Great food and service."
"Food was fabulous!!! excellent value and all staff were very friendly, would absolutely recommend to anyone who visits cleethorpes!"
Cons:
"Go to this fish restaurant not regular but do use the takeaway regular but after tonight l will not be using it again the fish was exceptionally small."
