What User likes about Life Boat:
My family had fish and chip shops and the Life Boat is one of the best I have visited. The fish was fresh and the batter crispy. They do leave the skin on the fish but it is easily removed. Mushy peas were just the...right consistency. I noticed local workers eating there. Highly recommended. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Life Boat:
Been here a few times in the past but wish I'd read recent reviews before spending quid on fish and chips that were disgusting. Frozen fish (I asked) that was mushy, tasteless black skin on it and not very crispy batter .... View all feedback.

This restaurant serves the best fish and chips in all of Scarborough. The old school style and homemade quality make it worth the wait.
