“Everything 100% perfect”
Reviewed 2 weeks ago
There is a fish and chip shop in Bournemouth named Chez Fred and every time we visit friends in Bournemouth we visit this top class restaurant.Mind you its that good you have to wait a fair while to be seated.
Today we found its equal in Brentwood.Just off the high st is The Fish House.The first thing you notice on entering is how spotlessly clean and modern everything is.Our orders were taken immediately(mini cod fillet,chips, mushy peas, salad plus a cup of tea)£6.I also ordered a portion of homemade tar tar sauce and curry sauce.
The fish is cooked fresh so you have to wait around 10 minutes but when the food arrived it was well worth the wait.The chips were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy in the middle.The cod was more than large enough and the taste was magnificent.Melt in the mouth cod with a very light crunchy batter.
The curry sauce was again spot on as was the tar tar sauce.The staff were extremely efficient and pleasant.If there is a better fisn n chip shop in Essex i have yet to come across it and my wife and I do love our fish and chips.We have been searching for a restaurant such as The Fish House for ages .Goes without saying we will be back and i will pass on my observations to my friends.This establishment should be in the running for fish n chip shop of the year..well done to all concerned.

do you still go to that fish and chip shop at waterloo pop in ascot week as I stop just up the road at the wellington regards Ronnie. |

Yes Ron..Superfish at Waterloo is simply superb.Had many a meal there and have yet to be disappointed.The London cab trade tend to frequent Masters(Superfish) so that is an endorsement in its self.

How can something called "mini cod fillet" possibly be "more than large enough"? And salad and curry sauce seem to have crept in from the kebab house next door.
That said, it sounds better than the two within a couple of miles from here, which charge £7.50 or £8.50 for large cod and (small) chips (take away, obviously). Someone needs to invent a rapid fat drainer from freshly-fried fish imo. |

Curry sauce for chip dipping(who doesn't?..durr) and i can assure you there was nowt "mini" about the cod fillet that was served up.I defy anyone to eclipse this restaurant for fish n chips..if i could give it an 11 out of ten i would kindly do so.

Wivenhoe fish and chip shop has won best in the country a couple of times so must be up there in Essex.
I was working there for a few months last year and must say they were excellent And they have signed photos of amongst others Frank Bruno, and Ant and Dec, so they must be good  |

The curry sauce GOES NOWHERE NEAR THE FISH.Read what i wrote FFS!! ---------------------- What about when it ALL ENTERS your mouth? So, you eat ALL the CURRY covered Chips - on their own - and then You eat ALL the Fish - on it's own - without consuming a single (Curry covered) chip with the fish, or in-between mouthfuls of fish... - and there is NO residue CURRY taste inside your mouth? Don't try to kid me. |

Went there last week (first time), top quality, we had to wait about 30 mins for a table but worth the wait. Excellent. Wouldn't say best in the country because haven't tried them all, but would surely be one of the best. When we left about 8-30 there was still a big queue for the restaurant and the takeaway. |
