Fishermans Bay Reviews Summary

Quality of Food

Pros:

• "Never had fish and chips like it. The fish was cooked to perfection with the lightest most crispy batter."
• "Very fresh fish in nice crisp batter. Recommend the Haddock and Chips."
• "Everything was fried shatteringly crisp without being greasy."
• "The fish was plump, moist and not greasy, the chips beautifully cooked, and the curry sauce incredible."
• "The chips were cooked properly, the cod, sharing platter and haggis were all perfectly prepared."
• "Absolutely outstanding fish and chips couldn’t fault it, And the curry sauce I don’t know what they do but nothing beats it."
• "The best fish and chips I've ever had and I am admittedly difficult to please."
• "By far the best fish and chips I've ever had! Just to start the chips were cooked to perfection."

Cons:

• "Minus 1 star because there were no potatoe scallops."
• "Chips were a little underwhelming but the fish and curry sauce were absolutely brilliant."
• "The mushy peas were a little watery, but otherwise everything was spot on."
• "A good solid chippy had haddock and chips and curry sauce. Chips were a little underwhelming."
• "Quite an expensive chip butty of £4. Chunky chips mind."
• "Bang average haddock and chips for over a tenner. The fish batter was overly crunchy and slightly burnt to taste."
• "Had a very good Saturday lunchtime meal of FISH & CHIPS, got in early about 12.30, by 1pm it was FULL with a queue ouside."
• "Ordered small cod and chips. The cod was small but very tasty and so was the batter."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Very nice food with excellent and very friendly service, the prices are on the higher side for a sit in Chippy."
• "All fairly priced and served quickly as well. Couldn't ask for a better experience."
• "Service is excellent and usually swift except I chose the wrong time."
• "Lovely food. And lovely helpful staff. I explained I was checking out the restaurant, for my Mum."
• "Excellent quality fish and chips, great service by lovely local people."
• "We always come here when we visit the coast. Its a bit further from Spanish City but well worth it."
• "The staff were welcoming and helpful. The prices were very fair and the food was amazing."
• "Called in for lunch today. Great service and the food was amazing. Was our first visit but definitely won't be the last!!"

Cons:

• "Our order unfortunately was delayed because the staff didn't seem to communicate to each other."
• "The queue is out the door and you have to repeatedly apologise to squeeze through to pick your online order up."
• "Very long waiting times for food that is cooked and just not being given out."
• "Service was really really slow. Which left us stood in the takeaway area with a 3 year old."
• "Waiting 20 minutes for a single portion of chips. No order of trying to keep order tickets."
• "Good chips and service, if your in Whitley Bay it's worth a visit as it's one of the best in the bay."
• "The staff didn't know what was going on with the menu themselves. We asked for a beef burger which they sell."
• "I think it's disappointing, The Fisherman's Bay could happily take £27.80 from me, for 3 x f&c, a curry sauce and a bottle of water."
