Fraser’s Fish & Chips in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Always great, fresh and hot and always generous portions. The only thing I do miss is being able to eat inside.

Lovely fish chips & peas ,cooked to order piping hot Great quality ,fish is superb

Ordered fish and chips for three. They have embraced technology and was worried if this is a sign of money over quality. It's not cheap but food was excellent. Cod was superb and portions plentiful.I had a curry sauce which might not be to everyone's liking as bit more Indian than chip shop. Staff serving are polite and quick. Well done all.

Love our local chippy! Use the app to order, pick your time to collect and everything is cooked to order when you arrive.

Good service and great fish and chips I highly recommend.

Shocking service but the food was good.

Top notch food. Bit pricey, but we were perfectly full after eating their smaller portions. The curry sauce is awesome.

Great food with great friendly service. There in the middle of the storm on Sunday and we're well looked after

Ok I'll review as well as I got a thank you from them for posting 5 stars. The front staff were really nice, the fish and the chicken were excellent, and let's face it the location is the best. Cheers.

We've previously been here when on holiday last year and it was amazing. Today, on holiday again, I picked up food for my family (three of us coeliacs) and whilst the fish was ok, the chips were horrendous. I should have taken a picture but we were all starving. It looked like they'd forgotten to cook enough gluten free chips and then had to spilt a large chips bewtween all three of us even though we'd ordered one large and two regular. Literally a small handful each and mostly all tiny hard shards. Really really fuming as I'd spent over £50 on four meals!! Also, we'd pre ordered online, which I thought would mean the food would be ready at our time slot. Nope, they hadn't started cooking it. The bloke in front of us was twenty minutes early for his time slot, but they still cooked his food first. Made no sense whatsoever. Don't even bother pre ordering, actually, don't even bother going here! Was looking forward to coming here a couple of times this week, but won't ever return now.

Been to Fraser's fish and chips twice now while down in Penzance for the day. Situated along the promenade next to the amusements it's a busy chip shop. Parking can be found along the front if you're very lucky. But it's only a 15 minute walk from the town centre. They have those annoying self service touch screens that never make life that easy, although you could probably order directly with the counter staff. On both occasions I've been there the wait is very long. Not much space to wait inside if it's wet out. The waiting for the food is the killer for me. It takes so long. Both times I've been stood there for over 20 minutes. Also they never put enough salt and vinegar on and you can't do it yourself. Food comes in a nice looking paper bag and food in nice boxes. Chips always nice, never really greasy. Battered sausage and fishcakes nice too. Had the curry sauce last time and that was the worst I've ever had. Tasted gravy like and was very salty to taste Trouble is if you want fish and chips in Penzance during the day Fraser's are the only one's open all day in Penzance, so it's Fraser's or nothing. If I went again I'd take my own salt and vinegar down, would I recommend...we'll give it a go 😏

Perfect fish and chips. There are benches across the street at the promenade. You can enjoy your food with a seaview.

A very enjoyable take away meal. Selection of fish was exceptional, chips very good along with the service

The most expensive fish and chips I have ever had. Some might say you get what you pay for. That does not apply to this place. Not great, not terrible but really not great. Service was ok, girls were nice. Either improve the food to reflect the price or lower the price to reflect the food.

Had a takeaway tonight. Hubby had cod & chips and I had haddock & chips. Nothing extra except salt and vinegar. We both said it was delicious and not at all greasy. I can especially vouch for the haddock, very tasty. We will be coming back when we’re next in the area and hope it will be just as tasty then.

Very tasty and well cooked fish and chips

£35 for cod and chips twice and a sausage!!!!!! Not a great portion and the fish wasn’t great considering the sea is over the road. Wouldn’t recommend at all

Extremely rude and arrogant woman serving people were asking for chips with peas on. Instead, she gave them tubs and said extremely rudely and abruptly, "we put it in tubs because if you burn yourself, you were not liable." The chips were so expensive £5.50 for a so-called large chips, I sent the picture to my daughter, who managed a chip shop for 3 years, she said mum that's not a large that's a regular box" and one box served two children so no definitely not a large, I paid £11 for chips that did 4 kids 🤦‍♀️ the curry sauce was absolutely vile it was like gravy with spice added, definitely not curry sauce. Won't ever go back there it was terrible. The fish was meant to be fresh from Newlyn, except the fish was old and really didn't taste fresh. It tasted far too fishy to be fresh that day, anyone who's ever been sea fishing or had fish caught the same day will tell you a fish that's fresh has only it's taste it doesn't have a fishy odour or taste as such.

Excellent staff, excellent food. Loads of gluten free options! Would well recommend.

Chips were delightful and gluten-free options available, but overall the prices and portion sizes would stop me from going again, over £5 for a "large chips" which in my home town would be a small to medium portion for less.

Unbelievable, 2 fish and chips, 1 battered sausage and 2 cans. £42. Yes maybe by the seaside, take away. Unbelievable. How on earth can you physically justify that cost. Never will we visit you again when in cornwall. I expect to pay a bit more when on holiday but £42! The only reason you got paid was my partner paid whilst I was in the car.

One of the best fish & chips in entire UK. Fish was fresh and batter was not thick. Chips was fried to perfect. Tried the scallops also, that too was nice. Moderate price 2 small cod + scallop costed around 20.

Decent Food at reasonable prices

Waited ages for just a single regular portion of chips, even though there are plenty of staff and food waiting in the counter. Loads of people also stood outside waiting. Got bored of waiting. I sad now 😢

Used to be OK, but now don't understand why anyone would bother. Small fish portions, uninspiring chips and expensive. I would recommend any other chippy in Pz over Fraser's.

Paid over £16 for one “large” cod & chips with a curry sauce. The portion size was more like regular compared to what you get elsewhere. The curry sauce was watery and the chips were absolutely covered in too much salt. Overall disappointing and too expensive. The fish was not too bad though, cooked nicely and good batter, not overly greasy.

Really enjoyed fish and chips and the self service ordering was easier to ensure you had the correct items.

Some of the nicest fish and chips I've had. Batter was thin, light and crispy. The curry sauce was the best.

Great gluten free fish and chips. Easy order online and collection

Finding coeliac friendly fish and chips shops is remarkably hard in a place that has so many chippies. Fraser's has become a firm favourite of mine, consistently giving great crispy chips and well cooked fish in batter that isn't stodgy. Its location makes it perfect to sit on the promenade and watch the waves whilst having a chippy tea.

We are both regulars and local. My wife wrote a review last week after a disappointing experience so we visited today and used a voucher given to us by the company. The staff and service was excellent as always. Thank you. The hot was hot, unlike last week so that was good. My wife's fish was both small, very thin, overcooked and small. My fish was nice but definitely small. The chips were absolutely tasteless. Never had such bland chips. Since the start of the summer holidays we have noticed the portions are smaller and the quality not as good. Normally the fish and chips from Fraser's are excellent. The last two visits have been disappointing and the food overall poor. We have in the past recommended Fraser's to many people. We cannot in all honesty do that any more. We will now be going elsewhere.

I used the find me gluten free app to search for gluten free fish and chip shops. Frazer's is accredited by coeliac UK and they didn't disappoint. Their menu clearly marks all gluten free options and they ensure that the gluten free order is clearly marked with a sticker. They also sell a range of GF ice creams. Staff were very helpful and it was well organised. The food was delicious 😊

Have been here the last 2 times I've been on holiday near Penzance, lovely fish and chips here. Loved the option of ordering online and from the touch screen here, must be new since I was last in. You know this place is good when you see like 20 people queueing for the place. Did order one with salt and vinegar but it didn't come with any on.

The food is great! Service didn't really exist, you order on a screen and waited ages for the food, no interaction with the staff other than handing the food over. Folk or Napkins as I put on the order, and I didn't know you had to the drinks you order from the fridge and had to ask. But again, the food was amazing. I have been a manager in hospitality and recommend more customer interaction.

On the pricey side but decent fish & chips

We are members of your VIP club . We are local and live in Penzance . We buy fish n chips every week and are OAPs Today the chips and peas were tepid and cold and the fish was small. We ate on the prom . Disappointing .They are usually very good but not a cheap meal so expect hot and fresh .

It's the best Haddock and chips I've had in years. Absolutely lovely and fresh. Thank you.

Save your money Paid £15.50 for 2 lots of chips and sauce which is bad enough to start with, we then had to wait 20 minutes to actually get the chips. The chips were then tasteless and soggy and the sauces were vile, the curry sauce looked like it had come from a packet mix and the taste was nothing like a normal chip shop curry sauce, overall just a very bad experience

Great chips, and fish lovely. Sensible portion sizes. Only issue is tiny wooden forks make eating fish a challenge!

Great food but a very long wait

£10.50 for jumbo sausage chips and curry sauce (pictured) Food is alright just not worth the price they are charging Feel like it's severely over priced, taking advantage of tourists Will not eat at frasers again For the owner You can make money without ripping people off, you're in a prime location stop your extortionate pricing before people.are no longer interested and go to the chip.shop around the corner

Bought chips and curry ×2 not very nice lots of bits in the chips and the curry was cold would highly recommend not to use this establishment find a better place for your chip Carl

Chips were great and the service was excellent. Giving four stars because I think it’s a little pricy for what it is… had to pay £1 for one pot of ketchup. It was nice enough and right by the sea.

Really good and tasty fish & chips ordered large cod & chips and size it's really large. Worth the money

Excellent haddock. Beautiful chips!

This is a very hit and miss take away for me, sometimes the cod is fabulous and other times not so great, meaning, more batter than cod. The portion sizes are good and it is about £14 for cod and chips. I do think it’s great they have a gluten free menu and if you sign up to their email you get a free voucher on your birthday, it used to be free cod and chips, it then went to pollock and chips and then £10 off on your birthday. I have been eating here since it first opened and I do recommend their menu. I love the fact they sell doggy ice cream. The staff are always friendly and very welcoming.

Best chippie in Penzance!! We really enjoyed this one and will be back again before we go home!. Also the curry sauce was spot on!!

I have enjoyed many fish and chips portions but today having paid £10 was a massive let down. The fish was very thin covered in thick batter the chips were just very day bits hard with sharp edges. They were tasteless and I threw the lot in the bin. The last time I had fish and chips they were wonderful, but today was an absolute let down.

Lovely selection on their menu. Enjoyed the Garlic Mushrooms that came with a large pot of Garlic Mayonnaise too ! Will be returning soon !

We happened to be passing by and saw the queue in front of the house. One look at the food and the clean kitchen, the friendly staff was enough for us to order. We had a large portion of fries and a large cod, including mushy peas. We ate on a bench overlooking the water and what can I say: everything was delicious and we really enjoyed it. An absolute recommendation from us!

How does a fish and chips shop run out of chips and fish!?!

Brought my son and I an ice cream from here today. Got outside and my son’s ice cream scoop fell off the cone straight on the floor. I was ready for disaster! The lovely lady came straight out with a fresh scoop in a tub for him. Omg saved my day!!! Thank you 🙏🏽

We ordered fish and chips for the first time on our recent Cornwall excursion and were not disappointed. Regular cod and chips were large portions and of excellent quality. Ordering was easy and staff were well mannered. Couldn't fault the take away experience.

You can’t beat fish and chips by the sea, and as a Yorkshireman I know how important it is to serve the best fish and perfectly cooked chips. Fraser’s did not disappoint, the queue outside told me how popular the place was. The staff were so polite, having a laugh with me regarding my strong accent. The fish was as white as snow, the batter flavoursome and crispy. The chips were perfect and the peas were lovely, the colour pease should be without loads of food colouring. Well done to all concerned. I’ll be calling again next year!!!

Stopped for a fish & chips takeaway at 5.45, cod bite’s & chips for 2. Not the usual excellent food from Fraser’s, this was inedible, fish bites were crispy but inside were soggy and tasted of oil, half the chips were black inside and the ones that were ok were hard. Always come here when in penzance but will give it a miss in future. Would have returned with them but we were staying out of town, so most of it went in the bin. Wanted to phone and complain but no signal. £20 out of pocket.

Hands down the best fish and chips I’ve had so far on my trip. Chips not greasy at all and the scampi is exactly how it should be. Yum yum yum!!!!!!!!! 😋

Staff were polite and friendly. Service was good and food was excellent

Visiting for the week and wanted to get some fish & chips (Gluten Free) and was not disappointed! The best GF Goujons and Cod & Chips - The service was great too!

Family of 3 on a Holiday from the US. We had Fraser's fish and chips 2 nights in a row! Love the cod bites, mozzarella sticks, fish cake and the Haddock! Best fish and chips in England, hands down! Chips are not greasy... get a curry sauce on the side, they go well together... Or salt & vinegar... Whatever floats your boat!

No disabled access. Steps, no ramps offered or looking available. Had I been unable to lift my walker (no help offered) up two or three steps I'd have had to shout to order. Staff to busy being jolly with each other to concentrate. Fish oily. Chips foul. Undercooked and raw in the middle. Scampi nothing special. Curry sauce possibly curried gravy. Very disappointed. Especially as had heard good things.

Disappointing. Have had food from here a couple of times and have enjoyed it but today the Fish was oily and chips were bland. Hopefully just bad luck but won't returning to find out

£25.00 for two fish and chips. Stupidly overpriced, small fish, chips were not crispy, tasted like the frying oil was way over due and needed changing. Like I said, stupidly overpriced, especially catered for the tourists.

Fresh and crispy fish and chips. Worth the price. I would definitely recommend scampi too.

The best fish and chips and scampi I have ever had. Reasonable price

Brilliant food and great services.

Really busy, couldn't see the menu until you being served & you were rushed, music blaring, you had to repeat yourself. Really bad tasting fish & chips due to dirty fat. Very disappointed most of it got binned. Was hoping to find a traditional fish & chip shop in the area. 😠

Always cooked to order. So all food is piping hot and good sized portions.

Got to them late, but food was delicious, piping hot and perfectly cooked, chips were perfect. The ability to then sit on the edge of the Quay and watch the sun set was a bonus. There was an issue with my order which they instantly told me about and admitted their error, which goes a long way with me. Offered a partial refund due to the wait too. Definitely a go to place which I’d happily recommend.

Consistently dependable and a safe bet for excellent fish & chips. Always make a visit when I’m in Penzance. Staff are always friendly, food is super fresh whatever day or time I’ve been. A special thanks for Josie on this visit for treating the Boxer to a fresh bowl of water he appreciated it (along with his share of my fish!). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Literally the most cramped place ever. Barely room to wait & then can barely hear the guy who shouts numbers for collection. The chips had many black bits and some green too… Thankfully being local I know of better places nearby. Don’t understand the hype here at all!

Cute place and always busy. The fish and chips actually contains fresh fish and the portion sizes are perfect. Also the fries are not so greasy. You can order via app in advance and pick the food up for the time slot selected. They only pack the food for you once you’ve arrived to make sure it’s fresh. From the sauces only the Tartare sauce got me (gravy and pea didn’t have a strong taste). I can imagine this place is a banger during summer as it’s right at the promenade.

Came in past closing time and still managed to serve us our takeaway. Staff lovely. Food absolutely brilliant.

We were so incredibly appreciative of the generous and kind service from the staff at Frasers. We arrived as a school group on a residential visit with 60 children (not to mention the various adults!) wanting to buy ice cream and we were welcomed in with open arms. The service was fantastic, they were brilliant with the children and we all raved about how much we loved the ice creams! Could not recommend enough- thank you so much!

Food was excellent, we were on our way to the Minack. Collected fish and chips, ordered on line, just a few minutes wait and they were ready

Busy take away shop on the waterfront. Large pieces of wonderful fish. Great place for a picnic by the sea.

Purchased a kids battered Sausage and Chips meal, a side of onion rings and two battered cod bites kid meals they all come with a juice box too. Great value cooked to order. Ordered in advance then waited for it to be boxed. Piping hot food and delicious. Good value for money.

I discovered Fraser's Fish & Chips on holiday in Penzance. The cod is succulent & delicious, and the chips are nice. The service is very quick and efficient. As it's sited opposite the promenade it's ideal to then eat the meal by the sea.

Delicious fish but several chips were partially cooked.

Lovely fish and chips shop along the promenade....not a long wait and freshly cooked and was able to takeaway and eat on a bench watching the sea

Glitch with ordering online, would also like a nicer burger and pay extra for it. Otherwise very good service.

A very popular and overall decent chip shop. If your hungry then order a bigger size. Small does mean small here, but very tasty all the same

Fish cooked beautifully, chips just warm, service ok , not as good as they used to be, not quite worth the cost.

Modern chippy shop with big screens for ordering. Fish and chips is very good. Despite not offering tables, there's plenty of benches along the promenade.

It's a very busy chippy, but well worth the wait. You can order from one of two screens inside, or at the counter. You can pay on card or cash. None of the food was soggy, all nice and crispy. Would definitely use them again. The location is roughly 200yds after the jubilee pool on the right heading towards Newlyn.

I visit penzance at least twice a year and since we stay round the corner we have always gone to Frazers at least once per visit as it was so good. I just got a large cod and large chips today and it was terrible. It cost £18 which is a lot more than it did but I wouldn't mind if the quality was the same however the food was what you would expect from a below average chippie costing half the price. Firstly the fish didn't seem large but quite small. It was cooked really badly., none of the batter was chispy it was soggy and seemed poorly cooked and just fell off in chunks. The chips cost over £5 and were completely different from what they used to be. They were smaller and more regular size7 and seemed machine cut. They were also soggy and limp and not at all chispy as they used to be. They also tasted odd almost as if the oil has been sitting around over Christmas. A horrible over priced experience my son and I had been looking forward to. From being a go to place we would visit on every visit to penzance based on this experience I think I will not go again I am posting this review as I think people need to be aware of the huge drop off in quality and hopefully it will make the owners take action Very sad Edit The manager kindly sent me a £20 gift token to use on a future meal in the hope it would be better. We got a takeaway over Easter and the food was back to its usual standard. So hopeful it was just a one off bad experience due to the Xmas holidays. I have altered my rating after my latest visit.

The food was tasty but very over-priced for such small portions. The large cod that I had would have been a small cod anywhere else in the country, and the small cod my wife had was little more than a glorified fish finger. £55 for 4 takeaway chippy meals is ridiculous (bearing in mind one of those meals was for a child). Shame really because, as I say, the food was tasty.

Service was quick as we ordered via the self service boards. We only ordered chips, they were ok. Portion was on the small side for the price. Nothing special but conveniently located with parking.

I used to love coming to Frasers but the portions have become smaller and overpriced. As a local I won’t be coming back.

Really great fish and chips, staff really friendly and they explained they have separate prep and cook areas for gluten free.

Chips were perfect, batter was a little sickly but the fish bites were really good. Staff were really friendly though - not always the most relaxed environment working in a hot and busy chippy, but they were all really cool-headed and up for a laugh. Also, they could not do enough to cater for us. One of our party was overheard looking for an option suitable to their diet/intolerance and the kind girl mentioned they could do something not on the menu which they did there and then. Really good. Shame there’s no seating, but the ordering screens are really novel in a chippy in my experience and it’s good to see tech being embraced and speeding the process up for all. Highly recommended on the service alone, and the chips - the main attraction let’s be honest - are great.

Managed to sneak in at last orders, 19.58, and a half. Was still served by the helpful staff and guardian of the front door lock. When I were a kid - thinks back longingly - chippies were open lunchtime and then between 6 and 10 in the evening, 22.30 Fridays and Sats. But then modern living took over and the all-day chippie arrived, closing at 8 in the evening. But what if you're hungry after 8....? Frasers is away from the harbour in Penzance heading west. My accommodation was in that direction, so it was very welcome nosh and the quality tasted great, even though the last haddock of the day was on the pilchard side of a sizeable meal. At 20.02, and a half, exited the shop with boxed up hot produce. All in all a satisfying experience.

Best chips and sausage in batter i’ve had in a long long time, amazing service and amazing food, very fresh. Definitely recommend! thank you to shenaya!!

The portion sizes were Extreamly small and the price is extortionate for the portion sizes. The food quality was good just simply not enough for the prices! Clearly charge a fortune and expect hoilday makers to pay, but as a local we won't be returning.

Freshly cooked so a short wait that is absolutely worth it. The fish was perfection, the batter was spot on for thickness and taste. Chips........I nearly went back for more, but lardy pants enough already. The staff are friendly and courteous. My go to place, always.

You get what you pay for. Yes these fish and chips are expensive. But quality. Decent fish and chips. Mushy peas and curry sauce are quality. Well worth the visit. Would return.

One of, if not the best fish and chips. My wife has a wheat allergy so cant eat the batter or anything that has been in contact with batter. Plus she hates fish. So thank you Frasers for doing wonderful gluten free menu with your chicken and onion rings, and now after 4 years i can enjoy your amazing fish and chips. Pure heaven. Plus you are cheaper than most takeaways. Keep frying. We love you. ❤️

Awesome food. This was the best I've had in a while. Chips and fish were cooked excellently and great tasting. I love the fact that catch of the day goes onto the board.

Lovely place quick service okay prices for being on seafront

OVER £40 FOR 2X LARGE FISH AND STANDARD CHIPS WITH CURRY SAUCE. (Trays only 3/4 full on top of that) TAKING THE PISS !!

I had a lovely fish and chips here, however £20 for a large fish and chips is expensive. When did takeaways get more expensive than pubs and restaurants?
