Fish Dish Fish and Chips Restaurant in Suffolk Coastal

I had offered my oldest friend, whom I've known for 67 of my 71 years, three choices for an evening meal. Posh nosh, curry or fish and chips. As it turned out, his choice was inspired. I've never seen such an enormous fish and chip restaurant which, despite its size, feels quite intimate as the place is divided into four smaller rooms on two floors, with the kitchen area set on a mezzanine right in the middle. The menu is as extensive as I have seen in a restaurant (also a takeaway) of this type. We decided to share a whitebait starter, which was excellent. Served with tartare sauce, the fish was fresh as fresh can be with a crispy batter. For mains, my friend opted for sea bass, while I had a skate wing. Served with a nice bowl of dressed salad and very nice chips, you can see why Fish Dish was going to be fully booked on the following Bank Holiday weekend. There's nothing pretentious about what they do. It's just good, honest, traditional British fish and chips (they also do burgers) done exceptionally well. Thumbs up all round, especially as it was just a short walk from my home.

the food is amazing but not when it is delivered luke warm! the order initially said delivery at 17.13,we eventually got it at 17.41 and it was cold! I am very annoyed!

Best in Felixstowe no doubt :) their home made mushy peas are just delish 😋

Nice and hot. Chips a bit hard, but ok.

My daughter recommended us to go there as under new management since we last was there.Was not disappointed very friendly people and the fish was delicious.I had the mixed fish salad which was a very good portion and a nice selection of fish all fried perfectly.My husband had the cod bites, tiger prawns and chips fried in beef dripping again fried perfectly.The restaurant has been decorated to a Mediterranean theme and had a lovely feel about it.Would definitely recommend this restaurant and would be nice for any occasion.

Absolutely amazing food and service. Staff were very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Can’t believe we hadn’t been in before as we visit Felixstowe all the time. We will definitely be going back again.

We visited with a group of adults with learning difficulties, the staff were most attentive and helpful, great service and the food was all delicious. Best Fish and chips ever.

Not that impressed food ok not that special not very hot. It was very busy we had to wait for a hour before we got our food I think they should of said it would take some time. Was good the dog could come in. Very noisy

It was delicious. Good portions and great quality.

prompt attention and freshly prepared delicious food

Nice but nothing beats Aldeburgh fish and chips

Excellent Plaice to eat. Very friendly waiters/owners. The service was fast, it was quite but still very quick service! The food was delicious. Haddock and chips were so nice! Everything tasted really fresh even the complimentary humus and bread 👌 Thank you for your hospitality

Always have a great time at Fish Dish. The service is always excellent and the food is brilliant. Love the atmosphere and decorations inside. They have lots of beautiful house plants and what a view from the windows. Can't go wrong with the cod and chips, the batter is lovely and the fish so fresh. Would highly recommend.

1 hour from placing order to delivery is too long

Delicious food, although the fish casserole was a little bit too salty. Really appreciated the extra complementary chips and pita bread. Will definitely order again! Thank you.

Great Fish & Chips from a lovely restaurant

We had a fantastic fish lunch in the restaurant one Saturday. I had the grilled Sea Bream with salad and my husband had the grilled Skate with chips and salad. He had a few Turkish beers and I had a few glasses of Turkish white wine. Everything was perfectly cooked and so tasty. The drinks were great too. Service was perfect and the toilets were very, very clean. We will be back! Excellent Restaurant!

I decided to try this because they cook their chips in beef dripping. What I discovered was an excellent sea front, high end fish and chips restaurant with many more options. The staff were polite, welcoming and friendly. The food was first class. I had cod and chips and my partner had their fish pie. We got a pita bread and hummus free appetiser (lovely touch). The chips were excellent, crispy on the outside fluffy in the middle and the food perfectly cooked. The portions are huge. If you fancy a wonderful fish and chips restaurant with perfectly cooked food in a friendly atmosphere and the option to have more options like fish pie and pasta I can totally recommend Fish Dish. I will certainly be back, this is the way to do it.

Great fish and chips curry sauce was great

Went for a lovely walk along the seafront and we saw this restaurant and fancied trying it. We had takeaway and the chips were so hot and delicious. We'll definitely be back but next time we might eat indoors as the menu looked good too.

Great fish and chips. Always turns up hot.

The smallest piece of fish I've ever had from them. A bit annoying, but hey, for a larg

Always early and always polite.

Have to say we tried this place on Tuesday night,ordered online was simple and easy drove down and was ready. We enjoyed it so much we placed a second order the night before travelling home. My burger bun did fall apart however I used a knife and fork and was fine and that won’t detract from what this wonderful place is.

Lovely food, prompt delivery, the best around, won’t use anyone else

Had a table for 9 at lunchtime. Fast, friendly service, great food, generous portions.

Fish and chips were nearly cold

Excellent fish and chips and lovely attentive staff.

I came here for the first time with my mum after a nice walk along the sea front. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we had exceptional service. The food was fantastic and the best calamari I've had outside of Cyprus. Great portion sizes and super fresh sea food! Highly reccomend 🙏

A long wait for food after ordering it for 6.30 for delivery at 8pm. The food arrived at 9pm which was far too late for us to eat. We ordered 1 x regular chips which was a smaller portion that the small one we usually ordered. They were cold and very over done. All three pieces of fish were stone cold and under cooked. It all went in the bin and £33 was wasted. Won’t use the service again.

Absolutely fantastic. Best skate and chips I have ever eaten. The flatbread and humous on arrival was a lovely touch. Also very dog friendly which is a nice surprise in a fish restaurant. Very spacious and comfortable. Very friendly and attentive service. Just delightful.

The fish and chips were larger portions than I expected and were lovely and hot. Burgers are nice too. would recommend.

The best quality seafood we've had since a trip to Cyprus pre covid. Cooked well and great0 value for money. Side portion of chips was huge ! The house made hummus, tartar and sweet chilli sauce are A Mazing. Could have made a meal just out of those with the flatbread ! Simple food , perfectly cooked and lovely customer service. Will definitely be going again.

What a gem of a place! We ordered cod,chips and scampi and we couldn't believe our eyes - the portions were huge. Scampi delicious,cod well seasoned and crispy outside yet moist and tasty inside. Service quick,very polite. Will come back and would definitely recommend for tasty fish & chips!

very nice and hot, battered sausage and chips. thankyou

This was our first order. The food was piping hot, fresh and super tasty. Will definitely order again

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting Fish Dish, located opposite Felixstowe Beach and Pier, for a family lunch. The experience was delightful, blending great food, warm service, and a scenic view. What We Ordered: - Butterfly Grilled Chicken Burger (2 servings): Tender marinated grilled chicken fillets in a brioche bun, served with chipped potatoes, coleslaw, and salad. - Crispy Southern Fried Chicken Burger (1 serving): Perfectly crispy southern fried chicken fillet in a brioche bun, paired with the same sides. - Tomato and Thyme Cod: Icelandic cod cooked in a flavorful Mediterranean-style tomato sauce, accompanied by mashed potatoes and mixed salad. - Kids' Meal: A cheeseburger with cucumber sticks and chipped chips. - Drinks: Two Sprites, two Coca-Colas, and one Fanta. Ambience and Service: We arrived around 1:30 PM and enjoyed our meal while gazing at the beach and pier. Despite the cold weather, the warm food and cozy atmosphere added to the comfort. The restaurant was not overly crowded, though families trickled in steadily. The seating was thoughtfully arranged, with a lower deck for pet owners and an upper deck for guests without pets. The staff stood out for their humility and efficiency, guiding us through the menu and ensuring our food was served quickly—within 5-10 minutes. Facilities: The bathrooms were immaculate, with excellent facilities for baby changing and disabled access, demonstrating the restaurant's attention to detail. Value for Money: Our meal for four adults and one child totaled £85, roughly £16-17 per person. While slightly on the pricier side, the generous portions and high-quality ingredients made it worthwhile. Final Thoughts: Fish Dish offers a wonderful dining experience with its delicious menu, excellent service, and scenic location. Whether you're craving a hearty lunch or looking for a family-friendly spot by the sea, it's worth a visit!

The best fish and chips and many other lovely tasty dishes.... Had a lovely long walk followed by a very generous portion of chips to warm us up. Always great and very friendly service.... be back soon.

The food was luke warm to cold and batter not as good as normal.

A warm welcome, service is perfect and food tastes great …. Always make a bee line for this place when in Felixstowe

The homemade pie,the fish and the sausagewete excellent but the chips were exceptional, best we've ever had. full of flavour and perfectly cooked!

Very nice place and food is very good. The serving is so big

Beautiful steaming hot food. Not greasy. Will definitely return again.

Very good food. Great haddock and chips, cooked to perfection. Welcoming staff. Clean restaurant. Good location overlooking the pier and seafront. Will definitely visit again.

Delicious haddock, lovely crisp chips cooked in beef dripping, and excellent homemade tartar sauce. Wasn't a fan of the slightly brown mushy peas, but everything else was great, including the Stokes ketchup!

Lovely cosy restaurant, sitting on the till was an award for best fish and chips 2024 and it didn’t disappoint. Good sized portions, the kids pasta dish was very tasty also. Very Friendly staff. Of course you pay a little more for the food due to location and restaurant but certainly worth it. Will be back for sure Keep up the good work and winning the awards

Well …. ! 4 of us went in and came out so happy ! We all were banging on about how good our food was ! I opted for the , highly recommended according to the menu , fish pie ….. if there is a better fish pie in the country than this I want to try it as the fish pie I just had was absolutely gorgeous! 10 out of 10 !

Great food as always, however I was a bit sad that because I used the Stamp discount code they offer, making the same order I always do, I didn't receive the complimentary humous dish with the pitta bread ;( was quite looking forward to that!

Very friendly and their small fish and small chips is rather big!

Excellent meal .Pie and chips lovely will order again .

Had a wonderful meal last night after taking our granddaughter to the pantomine at the spa. The food and chips was the best I have ever tasted. The portion sizes are huge. Couldn’t eat it all. All the staff went out of their way and couldn’t do enough for you. Will be back over and over.

Great freshly cooked fish and chips. Still very good in December 2024!

Very good service, just eat delivered the wrong order. Called the restaurant who replaced my order and delivered it themselves.

Brilliant once again, the complimentary hummus was delicious and the pitta bread even more so! ♥

I normally love the food from here but today the chips were luke warm and tasted dried out.

Didn’t receive 2 portions of chips with the 2 Whitby scampi that is under the fish and chip bundle section that we ordered, and as chips are not stated on the order justeat customer service aren’t being helpful. If it does not come with chips then you need to change your menu so it’s not under the bundle section. We had 1 portion of chips to go round 4 adults and 2 kids instead of 3, had some very annoyed family members

5***** Delicious Scampi. 5***** Gorgeous Prawns. 5***** Yummy side salad. 5***** Chips. 5***** Humous & bread. A Delight to receive such well prepared meals. Great Customer Service Thank you Julie 🤩

Had a lovely warm welcome here today for us & our dog. The food was so good, I had the fish casserole which was so tasty & I really enjoyed it, my hubby had the steak & ale pie and he said it was really good too. Very nice relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff, thank you for a lovely lunch, we will definitely be back soon!

Greeted warmly with a smile and asked if we wanted to sit in or take away. We wanted to sit in and were quickly shown to a table. We were brought warm bread and hummus on the house which is lovely to nibble while choosing your meal. We both had fish pie with peas. The fish pie is a complete triumph. It’s packed full of lovely fish and potatoes and cheese and sauce, it’s perfect. Staff lovely, food lovely and ambience also great. We’ll be back.

Fresh. Hot. Delicious. Perfect.

Nice cod with crispy batter. Great decoration with a nautical theme. Excellent service and I will definitely be back.

Perfect Fish Pie and Cod and Chips! Coffee good too! Lovely people serving us.

Our first fish and chips having just moved to Felixstowe - chosen because of great reviews which didn’t disappoint as was absolutely delicious! A very friendly welcome, thank you for such kind hospitality - will definitely be back :) Lovely vibe in the restaurant too, very inviting & beautifully done! Highly recommend to all

Food was really good quality. Very good portion sizes. Really enjoyed this meal so much.

Appalling courier service, delivery did not arrive. No contact from the courier and restaurant confirmed the order was collected.

Everything was Superb, for me perhaps smaller plates for the chicken Kiev maybe? Definitely worth a visit here and will be coming back again!

Nice food but cod a bit hit and miss recently

Superb cod and chips. Served straight from the pan so very hot. Service is very attentive and efficient.

For some reason the driver wanted to leave the delivery in my driveway not bring it to the door! In the end he got his wife to get out of the car and bring it to the door. I do have a dog a beagle a very non aggressive breed but I had him under control and hold of his collar this driver should not be used again to deliver to me.

really enjoyed it. chips really nice, plenty of batter on fish will definitely be ordering again.

Never had fish dish before but my goodness I will again! I got a couple of extra bits in the bag that I hadn’t ordered which was lovely, and the food tasted amazing! The battered sausages actually had batter on them and was delicious 😋

Me and my family ate here last night and it was absolutely sensational. My little boy has allergies and the chef came out and spoke to us in person about what he could prepare for him. The food was beautifully cooked and served by incredibly friendly staff. The portion sizes are insane, a small cod and chips will be more than enough for most adults and the kids portions were very generous. We will definitely eat here again.

This is our go to place for fish and chips when in Felixtstowe. It was before it changed hands a few years ago and still is, with attentive service and lovely fish and chips. Also in a good location with the beach across the road. Would recommend every time.

Best quality fish and chips in the area.

really lovely ... same quality as eating in

Absolutely delicious! Thank you!

The food is always delicious here. The batter is full of flavour and seasoned well. Lovely welcoming staff, very attentive. Grear childrens menu too . Make sure you arrive hungry because the portions are huge and you are going to want to eat every single bite... trust me!!

Great tasting traditional fish and chips cooked the way it should be.

Absolutely delicious, always cooked to perfection.

The best fish and chips for many miles around. Been to the place many times and never disappointed.

I've searched for the highest rated fish and chips restaurant in Felixstowe and this place was the first on the rating list. I was welcomed by smiles, and was served quickly, and ate delicious and fresh haddock and chips. I found an honest, clean, well operated local fish and chips restaurant. Thanks to Endo for the good service 🙏

Fish casserole was huge and delicious

Good food at a reasonable price. Great service and dog friendly.

Warm welcome excellent service and delicious food. What more could you want!

Really shocked ,never had a bad word on this,place , but Chips were not edible, hard and dry , and the batter on the sausage ,I scraped off as tasted like burnt old fat , think I will give this place a miss for a while ,so disappointed

Always good meal and the service is second to none.

excellent fish and chips and very prompt delivery

We visited today with a group of older people that use the community bus service. This was our first time of visiting the Fish Dish for our monthly lunch club. The staff were friendly and nothing was to much trouble for them. The food was freshly prepared, very tasty and well presented. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome. A big thank you to you all, we will certainly be looking to visit again in 2025.

Amazing food with huge portions - 1 large chips fed 5 of us!! Our 2nd time using and we will be back
