Food Quality
Pros:
"The fish is fresh and delicious and the staff are always efficient and friendly - it seems like a good team."
"Definitely BEST chip shop in town-- we tried their chicken, halibut, and even the haggis fritter-- all excellent flavors, not greasy."
"Such a great fish and chips, not oily at all!! We had haddock and prawns and they were cooked to perfection."
"The batter on the fish is absolutely delicious. 2 sausage suppers also went down a treat."
"Fantastic haddock supper every time I come here. Bit of a Sunday pilgrimage from Paisley when the good chippies there are shut!"
"Absolutely brilliant. Always perfect, best batter I've ever had anywhere and I'm no stranger to a fish supper."
"The chips are always cooked well and the fish is always fresh. The batter that they use is always crispy too."
"The food is brilliant at The Fish Works, as is the decor. I love the penny floor. They've been winning awards for good reason."
Cons:
"The worst sausage I have ever tasted....The spicy chips weren't spicy at all."
"The problem was the amount of grease that came out of the fish and portion of fritters."
"Although tasty enough the fish was the smallest piece of haddock i have ever received especially as it was a fraction of the size of the customer in front of me."
"The last three times the fish has been uncooked sticky batter. Chips have a weird taste."
"The fish was not a full angel cut but half of one. Anywhere else selling this size of would have served two pieces."
"I ordered a Haddock Supper and the Batter was absolutely disgusting,it was greasy and gooey inside like wallpaper paste."
"Menu still not back to what it was pre-lockdown, only choice of fish is haddock and sole, no cod."
"The fish was very greasy..The staff were nice and friendly.8.70 fish supper a bit steep plus 80p for tartar sauce..Sorry we won't be back..."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"The service was quick and speedy at a counter. They have a few places to sit mostly outside though with a few inside."
"Staff were pleasant and efficient. Menu is limited compared to other chippies."
"I absolutely love The Fish Works! The staff are always lovely and the food is always delicious!"
"But what really sets The Fish Works apart is the fantastic service provided by Ozkan, His charming personality and brilliant sense of hospitality."
"Staff very nice friendly and good service. Keep the fish works very perfect."
"Very reasonable prices, great friendly staff. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend."
"The food here is fabulous ! However, the thing that I noticed on my last visit, was the STAFF. They are a sleek, well-oiled machine."
"The Fish works is the most amazing Gluten Free chippy I have had since becoming ceoliac,"
Cons:
"One of the staff that gave me my order acted like they didn't know what they were doing."
"So many awards on their wall, the food is however underwhelming. The guy who served used his hand to flip the fish."
"Wasn't clear where to order, stood at front of the Fish Works and waited a good while before eventually being told by a young member of staff to order inside of building instead."
"There was a younger guy coughing directly into the fryers today."
"My partner and I visited Fish Works. As we entered the atmosphere was incredible. The staff were in the middle of receiving a lecture from some stuck up blond female."
"Absolutely pathetic Staff, Having Trained front facing customer service staff for years this is easily the worst front of house team I've seen."
"The girl behind the window shouts out orders with her face mask at her chin when your food order is open leaving it exposed to contamination."
"Ate there yesterday it’s well overrated £7:30 for one small fish supper greasy chips and although asking for lots of salt and vinegar it was non existent."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Prices are reasonable on current comparisons as the quality of the food is excellent."
"Definitely worth a daytrip to Largs for, even if most of the penny arcades are gone."
"Very busy, and everything is made to order so be prepared to wait. It is worth it."
"Every piece of haddock and langoustine is fried to perfection and as the chips are double (maybe even triple?) fried, we’ve never yet had a soggy chip."
Cons:
"We had 2 single fish, kids fish scampi and fish supper came out about £45, so can be pricey for some."
"The food was expensive, and everything was very bland. If I was blind I wouldn’t have known I was eating a chippy."
"The last three times the fish has been uncooked sticky batter... Most expensive fish & chips in Largs but the quality is inconsistent."
"At almost an eye watering £22 for just two Haddock suppers and nothing else it's overpriced for what you get unfortunately."
"We spent £100 and traveled 15 minutes for this due to the reviews. It was mid."
"Absolutely pathetic Staff... Won't be back and will be recommending others avoid also."
"A real disappointment given the great reviews. The fish was not a full angel cut but half of one."
"Absolute rip off, nearly £10 for 2 chips and curry sauce, the curry sauce that was used is £1 a carton from farmfoods or home bargains."
