What laurieson doesn't like about Penguin Fish:
Family been going to the penguin fish chips for years. Something awful has happened after new owners took over. The fish is sold as Cod but I can safely say it is not! Probably Pollock or worse. Fish was grey and not white as Cod should be. Tasted awful the batter had a burned overused oil taste. So disappointing after years of good quality cooking and the use of fresh cod… cutting corners like this has cost them our... View all feedback. What User likes about Penguin Fish:
I had an excellent experience at this restaurant with their high-quality fish and chips. I ordered the large cod and was pleasantly surprised by the enormous portion size. The fish was very fresh and cooked perfectly, with a crispy batter that held up even after the 5-minute walk back to the Premier Inn. My only complaint is the subpar ketchup brand - I would be willing to pay more for Heinz. View all feedback.
