What 74lornaa likes about The Fisherman's Wife:
Picked up some chips to go with a pasty. Looked at reviews and was sceptical BUT it was raining and the closest to walk to. The chips were fresh and tasty! Don’t let the negatives stop you from trying something because you could get a surprise! The only downsize is the portion size but maybe our local is more generous? View all feedback. What MelroseMunchkin doesn't like about The Fisherman's Wife:
The shop itself is clean and nicely presented. No sit in, counter only. There isn’t a massive choice of fish…just haddock or scampi that I could see. We were the only customers so our fish and chips was served quickly and freshly done. Nice crispy batter. Rather a smallish fillet but fresh, flaky and sweet. Chips were below par, but adequate and generous portion. Paid an extra £1 for homemade Tatare sauce but really... View all feedback.

The food was really poor. Both the fish and the chips tasted like they’d been sat out for hours. Even my husband who can stomach anything thought they were gros...

The chippy was clean and nice, the staff were pleasant and the food was delicious. I enjoyed the chips, battered sausage, chicken nuggets, and curry sauce.
