in the last weekMade a mistake of going in during the afternoon instead of my usual time in the evening, and had a really unpleasant experience. I politely asked for a meal box for my fish and chips, but the girl at the counter rudely said no and told me to go to another shop. The evening staff are always so respectful, im a regular, and they even remember my order. Love their food but have to avoid going there at least in afternoon to just avoid her.

in the last weekWe had bluecod and scallops. The batter was so stodgy we couldn't enjoy the scallops. It's a shame because the fresh fish in the shop looked amazing.

a month agoWent for the 3rd time to buy salmon pieces. I request each piece to be sliced in half and had no problems the first 2 times (on a weekend). Today 0930hrs on Friday 22/8/25 was told by the (?regular weekday staff) we sell “as is”. No other customers in the store. Would have taken them less than 1 min to make 2 slices with a knife. Makes fridge storage easy for me and I don’t have to handle again until eating time.I said “thats ok” and walked out. If this is the poor service you get for a very basic request …..then I don’t trust the care applied to the quality of fish in the background. The small details in background are questionable when at the front you essentially don’t care. Never again…would have carried on as a weekly customer.
