What User likes about The Blue Marlin:
Given the size of this place, and the pressure they’re all under to get the food out when they’re busy, I think they do a remarkable job. We took our two grandchildren there with us during a very busy lunchtime. We had our food within...5-10 minutes and the quality of the fish and chips was as good as we’ve had anywhere. Well done guys. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Blue Marlin:
felt like I had a hypothek down when I saw the prices on the menu. absolute sweat in consideration of the condition of the food. I thought I never ordered a water a sleepy, 3 different syrups and still as tasteless as my ex-girlfriend. chips. were moist and soggy, asked a member of the staff for something salt and they could not give me what kind of fish View all feedback.

A recent visit to a local fish and chip shop left diners feeling disheartened and unsatisfied. From poor customer service to lackluster food quality, the experience was fraught with disappointment. Patrons reported stale, tasteless dishes, including stale pies and rancid oil used for frying. Though some diners acknowledged quick service during a busy lunch, the overall sentiment was overwhelmingly negative, with many vowing never to return. In an age where diners seek both quality and service, this establishment seemed to fall short, serving as a reminder to check reviews before making a dining choice.

This cozy spot is fantastic. I highly recommend the kids fish bites and chips, which are perfectly portioned even for adults.

The fish was very disappointing, being thin, dry, and mostly batter. It did not meet the expectations for a restaurant located on the seafront. The prices were...
