The Fish Plaice - Glenashley

Coming from Johannesburg to Umhlanga, one would naturally Google 'the best fish chips in KZN ' The Fish Plaice popped up on top; my review is as follows: R140, at the time, for the 'Pensioner 's Special ' (any age) is great value for money and will sufficiently fill two tummies. Fish:: FRESH! 9.8/10 dash of salt at home does the trick. The normal size hake, in my opinion, is perfect and not much smaller than the large. Chips:: 7.5/10 Cut from fresh potatoes, not frozen, which is good yet I found something to be lacking here in terms of preparation from pealing/cutting/possible pre cook to the actual final fry; likely that there is too much time delay between the former and the latter, and it leaves the chips a bit 'dry ' in the middle and a tad on the stale side. I 'm sure this can be easily fixed. Also, a little more salt/vinegar could go a long way. Falklands Calamari (half portion):: Fresh, batter is thin so that it doesn 't take away from the Calamari itself; batter lacks salt. R41 at the time, value for money considering its Calamari; one would need to buy two of these for a full meal of protein as one serving would just be a starter portion(8 to 10 pieces). Dish does not include chips. Bean Salad:: Refreshing! Tastes like home; we opted for this instead of the coleslaw. Service:: Extremely friendly and patient staff, they seem genuinely happy, and that shows. We will be back!

Good food at a reasonable price. Good value for money. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for fish and chips.

Best fish and chips in town! It's a local favourite for a reason. Super average place to sit so I would recommend getting a takeaway. The hake and calamari combo was amazing. Portions are generous and prices are great. They can do grilled fish but not sure it's gluten free. The regular batter is delicious if you can eat wheat!

Wow!!! The batter is so crispy and light. Delicious fish and chips. Love it

Great fish and chips. You can choose between hake, Dorado and kingclip; grilled or fried. Their calamari is also delicious. Because they are so popular ordering in advance is a good option, especially on the weekend.
