Excelsior Fisheries in Scarborough

Good Friday, busy and well organised seating inside, but plated or dinning.

Love the fish and chips here! Eaten here a lot and always good!

Went to try. Doesn't look much from outside but the fish and chips where gorgeous lovely crispy golden batter nice chips. Best I've had in a long time and i eat a lot of fish and chips.

Absolutely delicious jumbo cod and chips. Great big flakes of fish. Batter so tasty. Great staff. Definitely worth a visit.

Brilliant eatery to call into, young staff with pleasant and helpful attitudes, the food is the best fish and chips I have tasted for a very long time,seating inside to rest weary legs and enjoy the atmosphere ,5 of us called in today (Good Friday)and what a welcome,food served up quickly,the prices were as good as the food,a little gem of a place....thank you for your lovely food and pleasant welcome...if you are in that area this is a fishy not to miss out on.

Outstanding fish white thick chunky cod in lightly battered . I don't get chips with mine but I pinched dome from my husband . The chips were crispy on the outside golden in colour snd fluffy in the middle 10 out of 10 As for the service nd cleanliness I could not fault . I even went back inside to say their were the best I have ever had. Thank you Michelle Rowe

A young crew, but work great together and excellent service. The fish and chips were awesome. We travelled to try this venue and were not disappointed. 100% beef dripping and sustainable fish at a great price. I just wished we lived locally 😊. Thank you

Lovely fish and chips. Cooked fresh absolutely lovely. Friendly lad serving and if your in the area I would highly recommend the Excelsior fisheries.

Always a pleasure to go to excelsior the food is great having tried a good selection of the food having work just down the road. I can say I highly recommend. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They go above and beyond when placing large orders. Could recommend more highly 10/10

Well cooked fish and chips. All freshly cooked.

There are closer fish and chip shops to my house, but I always come here. The fish is cooked perfectly, (batter is to die for), as for the chips, just how I like them!

We were not disappointed with our fish 🐟 and chips 🍟, nice thick piece of fish with a crunchy batter and plenty of chips that were delicious 🤤.

Food was spot on , nice and fresh also the homemade tartare sauce just hit the spot 🙏

Delicious haddock and chips with mushy peas. Highly recommended.

Decided on fish and chips on one of our nights staying in the village and had been here on previous visits. We chose to eat in at one of the tables which is a very welcome bonus and means you get to eat every fresh from the fryer. The food was gorgeous, great sized fish which was lovely and white and flakey with superb batter. The chips and mushy peas were also excellent. The young lad on the fryer certainly knew what he was doing and asked how everything was and seemed genuinely proud of what he was producing. As good as any fish and chips we've had

Nicest fish ive had red hot straight from the fryer

Got fish and chips from here tonight. Friendly and professional staff and the best chips in Yorkshire in my opinion! Highly recommended!! :)

First class fish and chips. highly recommend.

Excellent and delicious fish n chips served with great customer service in a lovely clean environment. Thank you 🤩

Fish and chips,at the seaside 👍👍👍😄😄

Stayed for holiday near by, found this shop by accident, best fish and chips ever wish we vould tske you home to london a star rating

Many thanks guys, your fish and chips were delicious and served with a smile. Cooked to perfection and a treat to have scraps on !!!!! Keep up the good work.

An absolute gem and they give Whitby a run for their money here - fish & chips definayely stack up

Good price great food all cooked fresh

Not had fish and chips as good as this in a long time, fantastic!

Excellent service and food Best fisheries around ....

Always call in here for fish n chips🍟 when in Staithes. Always tasty food and great prices, one of the best fish n chip shops I've been too. Scampi is delicious too. 10/10 shop.

We went for takeout, scampi and chips. Very good!! While we waited we sat on the seats, very uncomfortable, glad we had takeout !!

Great value, friendly efficient service, lovely fish and chips. Bench seats and tables inside for bad weather 👍

Lovely chips. Always visit when in Staithes.

I've been a few times well worth the wLk from lofus there always delish 😋

Probably the best takeaway away fish and chips we've ever had! Gets busy but worth the wait. Highly recommended.

First went a couple of months ago: Great welcome, great atmosphere, fabulous fish and chips cooked to perfection in beef dripping!!! Returned a couple of weeks later looking forward to a repeat performance: Great welcome, quieter in shop and fish and chips were much smaller, although the taste was still excellent! Returned end July as part of my birthday celebrations, only to find shop closed due to 'new arrival in the family'!! Went back last week: No greeting, no customers and tripped over the sombre atmosphere in the shop. There seemed to be a new fryer, who was learning. He was doing his best, but had no support from the owner and usual fryer. Fish was tiny, undercoojed and extremely greasy sat upon a mountain of lukewarm, greasy chips...... Not his fault, btw - he needed guidance!! I WILL return, soon and trust all will be back to usual standard 🤞

Always good best fish and chips in the area .but the service is very slow they cook to order so be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes

Generally one of the best chippys I’ve ever been to, absolutely delicious!

Lovely fish and chips from here last night whilst staying at Staithes. Cooked to order and piping hot

Decided to get a chippy on our first night of our holiday as we CBA to cook - Well pleased we went to Excelsior. The staff are friendly and efficient and the food is top notch, pro tip - Try the black pudding fritters, absolute game changer. The chippy does get busy but in my view that's a good thing as you never go to a chippy without a queue - Highly recomend it.

Fantastic fish and chips. Definitely will call again next time passing!

Really good food and not too expensive. Hidden gem in the area.

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! Possibly the best fish & chip shop we have visited. 2 regular cod and chips which fed 3 of us, scrappies was an added bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you. 😊

Simply the best fish and chips for miles around 😋 lovely staff too . The fish was so fresh beautifully cooked

Perfect fish and chips with excellent service! Highly recommend scampies as well 🙂 Fish and chips are really delicious!!! It's hard to find a place like this at this price in the UK, so if you see it while passing by, be sure to stop by!

Just found this on trip advisor great fish and chips fresh ans tasty great friendly service Seating inside highly recommend

Excellent customer service tonight and Excellent fish and chips, would definitely recommend.

Always good service and well organised, cant fault this place

The service and food is exceptional. They’re constantly excellent. We ordered 2 large cod and chips last night and the portions are accurate, it fed 3 of us easily. Staff are really friendly and food is cooked to order. Prices are fair. Can’t recommend enough.

Delicious fish and chips. Nice and crispy - cooked fresh to order

Great fish and chips, super quick service. Will definitely be back when visiting Staithes again

What a shame about this place I came here 8 weeks ago had the best fish and chips that I decided to drive here from Whitby just to get dinner. The fish was half the size compared to last time, food tasted nice not as nice as first time around so I won’t go out of my way again such a shame. Photos of difference.

What a shame came here 7 weeks ago was that great I came out of my way from Whitby to call here again. Not as nice and fish was extremely small. I won’t come out of my way again however it’s not the worst fish and chips just not worth going the extra few miles for now.

Was here at easter weekend... Worth the hike up from the shore for fantastic fresh chips and perfection in fish... Also family loved the chip shop curry sauce, great staff too 😋🐠

We ordered fish and chip meals for all 4 of us. The fish was fine quality wise, the chips a reasonable portion, but the fish was simply not big enough/adult size, despite an adult size price.

Lovely fresh fish, generous portions.

If Carling did fish and chips ....probably the best we have eaten...Ken C.thank you😎👍

Great service and allowed us to take a quick trip to the co-op before returning to collect.

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips

We are regular visitors to Runswick but had our first visit to Excelsior Fisheries earlier this week. Both had haddock & chips with a portion of mushy peas. The fish was some of the best we’ve tasted from a chip shop & lovely non-greasy chips. The place seemed spotlessly clean & staff polite & obliging & clearly taking a pride in providing a good service. We’ll definitely be back.

This looks nice inside, with modern decor and tables/eating spaces. It may have just been a case of not ordering to their strengths, but I had the scampi and was slightly disappointed. A few weeks earlier I'd bought scampi up the coast in Saltburn and that was better. This seemed a bit dried out. Would give it another go, but would order something different.

The best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Immaculately clean shop, friendly staff and a fair price. Excellent all round.

Popped in to grab lunch today while in the area. Dave ordered a cod and it was large and tasty. Staff were pleasant and everything we had was good

recommend to try there fish chips with mushy peas first time I've been will be using all the time from now on

Lovely food at decent prices. Always friendly...Great for if you want lunch and a quick walk at Staithes!

This Chipshop just gets better and better Awesome food and very good prices

Great fish and chips here. Friendly staff as always . Love it

Really nice fish & chips (cod) we had the large fish, chips and scraps curry and peas couldn't fault any of it. Made the last night of our holiday more bearable. We will return on our next holidays

Fish chips and peas in a card. They were absolutely fantastic one of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Thank you

The best fish and chips we've had for a very long time, the fish was super fresh. We were impressed with the black board detailing where the fish and potatoes had come from and that the fish was caught sustainably. Would recommend.

These are the best fish and chips I’ve had… I’ve been lured away from my regular fave in Whitby.

Yes buddy Good food buddy and the female member of staff was great buddy Cheers buddy -buddy

Called in last Saturday busy so thought good. Didn't have a massive order but got my order two minutes drive back to caravan but sad to say everything luke warm, poor size portion of chips did ask for large .

Just popped in to pick up dinner for a family of five tonight. All cooked fresh to order, we had small fish and chips, jumbo cod, fish bites, pineapple fritter, black pudding fritters, mushy peas and curry sauce. All five of us thought it was excellent, not at all greasy and good value for money. The fish was superb and some lovely scraps on top to cap it off. Very full now but will definitely be back. Well worth it if you are in the area.

Updated 12/10/2022 Fish patties are no longer available but the quality is still there well worth a visit if you want Fish and chips! Really good chips and the fish Pattie is amazing.

Lovely staff were extremely pleasant and welcoming and it was the cleanest chippy I've ever come across! Delicious food and prices were very reasonable. Will definitely be back!

Well my old friend wasn’t wrong . Best fish & chips I have had in a long while. Great service tonight they even brought them out to me as I had the dog in the car 🚘

Liked the fish and chips so much went back for more the next night.

Lovely place to go food is excellent staff is friendly take out or eat in it very nice

Great chippy with lots of choice and friendly staff. Food very nice, clean with seating and accessible entrance. There is on street free parking and you could also park outside. Wahoo

Fantastic fresh fish best I've had in age's

Absolutely fantastic we think it was by far the best fish and chips we have ever had! Staff friendly and helpful lovely crispy light batter on our cod, chips from Sagitta potatoes which were perfectly cooked, excellent mushy peas and a really tasty homemade Tartare sauce. A portion of scraps were a melt in the mouth treat. Highly recommended if you are in or near Staithes. 10/10

Fantastic fish and chips and you will have to try the black pudding in batter x fantastic x x z

Outstanding Freshly made Fish And Chips. The batter on the cod was perfect and delicious, chips were fantastic too. Nice to be given the option to the scraps, something us southerns don’t get offered 😃. If we visit the lovely Staithes again we will certainly be returning!

I arrived ordered and saw 3 young gentleman behind the counter, This made me think should I bother WELL MAKE Sure you DO best cooked fish & chips we have had in years and I should know I have been a chef for 45 years prior to that my mum ran one well done to you all

THE BEST fish and chips. Forget Whitby, the M*gpi* and others, THIS has the BEST fish n chips on the Yorkshire coast!!!! Freshly cooked, absolute provenance of the fish used, the potatoes - even the beef dripping!!!! It's fantastic to see a place run with such passion & customer focused service!!! I've been most weeks this Spring/Summer and the ONLY thing they let me down with was selling out of my favourite haddock once!!! I'm not surprised- the haddock is fantastic!!!! The cod is only fabulous 😍😍🤣🤣🤣 You can order ahead, sit & watch it being cooked for you, or (my choice) pop in, give your order then nip off for a quick Peroni at the nearby Captain Cook before returning to collect PERFECTLY cooked fish, chips, mushy peas etc etc etc..... And the homemade tartare sauce is gorgeous too!!!! Highly recommended. Just don't ask turn up on a Tuesday evening, otherwise I may have to have an extra Peroni!!! 😜

Great fish and chips. Always a must when we visit staithes. Never had any issues and the fish is always fresh.

Absolutely fantastic. Crispy batter on perfect cooked cod. Chips again we're perfect as were the peas. I can see why it was so busy.

Outstanding service and my dog welcome too.

Absolute beautiful fish bits and chips from the great Excelsior chippy . Prices are spot on foods nectar . The lads done good 😁😁😁😁

Lovely fresh food. great prices good staff worth the money thank you very much

Queued for 30 mins only to be disappointed, overpriced & really greasy/soggy fish & chips

Popped in while passing and got 2 of the small fish and chips. Reasonably priced and good portion size. Crisp and tasty batter, lovely white fish accompanied with nice tasty chips. One of the best places I’ve had fish and chips for a long time, keep up the good work 👍🏻 👍🏻

Good reasonably priced fish n chips. Not sure but I think its the only chippy in staithes.

Fabulous! Lovely service, great value for money. Fish was superb. Scraps (scratchings) were great, and free. Home made tartar sauce and ... battered black pudding ... wow!

Freshly cooked lovely food brill service

Hot summers day. Perfect location. Delicious chips n beans. My favourite!

Best fish and chips I've eaten at the coast in a long time.

One of the best tastiest fish n chips I've ever had, no grease at all, in staithes for a short break and will definitely return for fish n chips if in the area again, really nice

Probably the best fish and peas we've had. Very fresh, very tasty fish, beautiful crisp batter, melt in the mouth. Extremely well organised service. It was recommended to us by some ladies whose house we had parked outside and it didn't disappoint!!!

Very tasty and fresh portion of fish & chips. Since our holiday home was only 3 minutes away, we opted for take away and arrived with the fish still hot. The portions are huge and almost too much for us as a single person. But far too tasty to leave anything behind. The service is extremely friendly and the price-performance ratio is good.

Very nice cod bites, but chips weren't great.

Lovely white flakes of fish well cooked. Will call again.
