Coulsdon Fish Bar & Chinese Take Away & Delivery in Croydon

I love trying different chippies so this one has been on my list but it is takeaway only so one day I finally gave them a visit and had them open and ate nearby. The chips were lush, they were all uniform in colour and these were definitely memorable because they are cut like steak chips which are wider with a rectangle cross section area. Each chip was delicious and it was glossy but not oily which makes them to my liking as they are moist yet have a crisp exterior. The fact that it has this lovely smooth gloss exterior gives it that ability to take salt and vinegar well. Each chip was delicious, bursting with sticky fluffy potato followed by that moreish salt and vinegar kick. The chip didn't give resistance when you put the chippie fork into it. This is how chips should be and they were so tasty that they don't really need other condiments but a really sharp ketchup would be nice. As I got to the bottom of the cone, there were some crispy bits, the edges of the potato which were equally as delicious so all in all nothing was wasted because some chips shops are quite random you can get lots of scraps/dry bits etc. Overall I was pleased with my chips. The fish was also good, it was moist and flakey but the batter was too oily that it all came through on the wrap, other than that they were amazing. The batter was on the bitter side but that my problem because I have the PTC gene which makes me sensitive to the slightest bitter taste. Will definitely be returning.

Thoroughly impressed with this place. Good portions and great cod and chips. The chips are truly the traditional british chips. Chunky, fried in a way which almost feels battered. They don't get soggy on the way home and are lovely, warm, with a nice crisp on the outside and rich potato on the inside. The cod was exceptional - flaky, delicious and crispy batter, and a great portion size. You can also get the pukka pies here which are always a winner.

Freshly made Chinese take away, authentic taste... will definitely order again!!!

Sorry, I don't like to leave bad reviews but was passing this chip shop and fancied some chips to have for dinner. When I opened the chips at home they were dried out and virtually mumified. They had clearly been made many hours before and just kept in the heated tray until an unsuspecting customer came in. They were truly dire and I had to throw most of them away. Won't be using this place again.

Discovered this fish and chip shop last year,its my go to everytime.Such quality fish,reasonable pricing,highly reccomend.

A very tasty fried fish with tender flesh.

Quite honestly the best chips I have ever had in my life, I wish I was in Coulsdon more often so I can enjoy these opposed to my regular chip shop chips (sorry regular chip shop but these are just too good)

Owner Eve was very generous, gave me xtra large fish and chips. Delicious 😋

30 min wait for overpriced fish and soggy chips. Other potential customers left when told the waiting time. I wished I had!

The fish weed here is very very good

The Fish was nice and moist, excellent service.

This place is hardly ever open. Closed even during the opening hours posted on google :(

Driving back from Brighton one evening, got off the wrong junction and saw this unassuming little gem of a chippie! I waited about 7 minutes for a freshly cooked portion of Cod& Chips. The fish tasted absolutely divine and the Chips were golden in colour, crispy outside and soft inside, as God meant them to be! I was hungry and the friendly Chinese owner kept the place spotlessly clean with appropriate mask and gloves on and a spotless uniform! She offered me a plastic fork and napkins to eat on the comfy bench in the customers area and hand sanitiser was readily waiting on the counter. The portions were generous and at £7.10 for a a regular portion of fish and chips this was well beyond great value for money! I definitely will go there again and recommend to friends! A thumps up all-rounder! 👍👍👍👍👍

Cod was white fish beware! And charged cod price! The chips are decent however.

Excellent local chippy. Regularly get fish and chips from here. The batter is lovely and crispy and the fish is always moist and fresh.

Pulled over here randomly on the way home and had delicious fish and chips! Thanks

Ordered Cod and chips and the fish was lovely and fresh and chips cooked to perfection. Excellent Value as it was a big portion. Friendly staff. Thank you for great food. Fish and Chips as it should be.

By far the worst chip shop on the planet. Brought two chicken burgers and chips chicken was bits of soggy battered chicken drenched in oil old oil at that. The chips were just as bad. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.
