What smiler 7 doesn't like about John's Fish:
Waited 20 minutes for our order as just arrived in Clacton and it was late, the fish was greasy not nice at all, you could taste dirty oil in your mouth, sausage went in the bin along with the fish and chips x2,, would not recommend this place at all,, we had an 8 hour journey and went to bed hungry waste of 20 quid View all feedback. What Graham Diplock likes about John's Fish:
Traditional fish and chip shop. The sausages and scampi were excellent; the budget fish and chips delicious and just the right size. Friendly and helpful staff. Eat in or take away. Worth the short walk. View all feedback.
