We haven't been to barracuda for a long time, but thought we'd try it, the food was really top notch, not dripping in grease, the chips were well cooked and the fish was a decent size, lovely White flakey fish, I had curry sauce with mine, that was spot on too. We don't eat a lot of takeout food, but this will be our go-to fish and chip shop in future.

Been coming here for years and usually excellent quality. Not sure who your fryer was tonight but the batter was appalling. Very thick and pappy. Please read your reviews. This is a great chippy but bad experiences can lose you customers

We have been going to Barracuda Fisheries in Ossett for many years and I found myself paying extra for a breadcake as I was told by a member of staff, Connor, that the cheeseburger did not come with a breadcake. When I pointed out that the last time I bought a cheeseburger it came with a breadcake, all he said was, that is what he was told. So, working on the menu, a burger in a bun is £2.95 however when you add cheese you you have to pay for bun separately at a cost of £1.10 totalling £4.05 which means you pay £1.10 for a cheese slice. When I pointed this out, all I heard from Connah was that's what he was told. I also asked for two bags of chips but when i got home i had two fish instead! This does not work for me with a cheeseburger! Is it right that a Barracuda Fisheries' cheeseburger comes in a bun or is it extra? I can't imagine going to McDonald's, asking for a cheeseburger and then have to order the bun as a separate item.

Good chippy I just don’t understand why they use this paper, by the time you’ve tried to unstick it from the paper there’s no batter left on the fish 😂 great chippy other than that but please change the paper I’ve had this numerous times 🤯

I don't know what the grease proof paper is meant to achieve but every time we get the fish home, it's lost all its crispiness and the soggy mess that's left sticks to this paper. It seems to happen every time. The fish is usually still tasty and the chips are good but if they could come up with a way of wrapping the fish so it's in the same condition when you get it home, it would be perfect. Maybe a box in future, looks like this is a common problem after seeing the recent reviews. Staff are always friendly, good sized portions and plenty of choice.

Very disappointed on my purchase of fish and chips twice. The food was absolutely flat cold, fish was broken in to 3 pieces and had to remind them twice to add scraps and they did not provide the battered sausage I ordered. All in all will not be returning as after spending £23 I would not say this was value for money.

Excellent fish and chip shop !, prices are very reasonable even after price increases at other fish and chip shops they still seem to be very reasonable. Having ordered fish butties , battered sausage ,spam fritters and Scollops from here all good has been cooked well and has been fresh. Fish butty was very nice with a nice sized fish and and good batter . Nothing was soggy and everything was nice and crisp. Members of staff are very polite and kind . There’s a nice outdoor seating area outside also if you would like to eat your fish and chips after purchasing. Overall a great fish and chip shop in terms of value and quality 5/5

So very disappointing 😞. The 2 fish I bought were the size of 2 fried eggs and as thick as. I didn't see the portion as they served out of sync, but I did hear the person who was dishing up ask a very young girl if they had anything bigger as they were small...she replied 'no they are fine'. Well no they were not, what a rip off, had I lived near I would have taken them back.

Called tonight 5:00 pm . The 2 fish I bought had just come out of the fryer and given no chance for the excess fat to drain . The Young counter assistant wrapped both fish together ( as I’d said it would be OK ). But she failed to put a piece of the grease proof paper between them. When I unwrapped them at home 15 minutes later the 2 fish had blended into 1 because of all the grease . Not only could I not separate properly but they were actually not even cooked through. There was slimy batter and part cooked fish . I did not feel inclined to drive back again so I’ve wasted my time money and petrol. The fish got binned . Poorly cooked ; poorly drained ; badly wrapped . I worked out that I spend around £750 to £900 a year in your shop. Not any more .

Got a Chip Butty and a Fish Cake from here last Monday for the first time in ages. The Chip Butty was nice, but wasn't a fan at all of the Fish Cake. It was extremely greasey and was more of a huge potato scallop with two huge slices of potato and an extremely thin slice of fish between it that you couldn't taste. Would recommend the Chip Butty but not the Fish Cake.

Me and my hubby visted last friday lunch time. The fish shop had only been open 15 min whenvwe arrived. We ordered 2 fish butties 1 was a small one cost almost £9. My fish buttie was stone cold and the batter was so hard i couldn't eat it. I think it was night before fish. The regular fish buttie was not much better. So both butties went in bin. I hope the barracuda read there reviews and reply to them because when i rung and told them the reply was there too busy to take complaints over the phone.

So. I went on the website. 2 portions of chips and one portion of 4 fish bites. According to their website it should have been £5.60. Charged us £5.95. My husband being as he is, even though I told him the total just paid what they said. This annoys me so much. I know its only 35p but if they overcharge every customer by this amount they will soon be able to retire. It is not the first time we have been mugged off by this fish shop. I won’t be shopping here again. Steer clear of this chip shop it is a total and utter rip off! Waste of money and not that nice tasting!

I bought a Haddock at £3.75 not a bad price I thought , but when I got home it was disgusting, hard batter, tough fish, and obviously a warm up. To be honest there should be a law forbidding sales of warmed up fish n chips, I have noticed in my area a lot of these places do it especially early on

Decided to treat ourselves to a fish supper. They either need a new server who can add up or a new cash register. Ordered fish and chips and a portion of fish bites. Imagine my reaction when I was asked for £11.60! I know this place is well overpriced anyway but that is beyond a joke. We won’t be having anything from here again but will go to one of the several other fish shops close by who are far cheaper. If you do shop here always question the price they are wanting to charge.

This is my local and I've been using them for many years. No other fish and chip shop can beat the quality and taste of barracuda. There is always a que out of the door this is testament to just how good their fish and chips are. I would like to see a small fish and chips option all the time similar to what they do as a lunch time special as simply I their portion sizes are so good I can't get through a full fish and chips. Keep up the good work Barracuda

After visiting for over 20 years plus, I will never step foot in the place again. Booked a table of 11 for my mother’s 86th Birthday this afternoon, everything lovely as usual like always until the bill arrived at the table and they now add a service charge. £20 for our table today. NEVER and I mean NEVER have they done this before. It was knocked off when i challenged them over it, but this also cost them a good tip. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS Cheated staff out of tips now it’s law that staff retain all tips

Start with the positives, service was nice and didn’t take long, quality of fish was nice and the chips were decent but sadly that’s about it. The portion of fish and chips was small, the chips batter was a bit anaemic too but the potato was nicely cooked, the mushy peas were very poor, not a nice colour and taste was off and the curry sauce was very watery too. Big shame as it used to be a good chippy but I don’t think we’ll be returning.
