second time in a row it hasn't been anywhere nice as it used to be. second time in a row they also didn't include sauce and salad with kebab. I used to love the fish and chips from here but I think I will have to go elsewhere now.

I’ve always ordered from M&A fish bar for years and never ever had a problem I ordered one large chips two large battered sausages steak and onion pie two drinks and a bottle of onion vinegar, unfortunately one of the sausages was missing and the bottle of onion Vinegar, once we settled down to eat our dinner I noticed that the batter on the sausages was under cooked I had to peel the sausages to eat them due to being pregnant - unhappy is a understatement.

Had a take out budget fish n chips for 8£. The size of it is humongous which I didn’t expect. Fish was very fresh and was cooked nicely. Was recommended by a local here and was very pleased.

We chose M&A Fish Bar as it had a 4.5 star rating. Our previous fish & chip shop has ceased trading (owner moved away) and was a hard act to follow as they had wonderful food. We ordered and paid via Just Eat. The delivery was made in good time and the food was hot (they did charge £1.75 for delivery, this is shown when ordering). The food, the fish was over cooked with thick crunchy/hard batter, and unfortunately, this seemed to hide the fact that considering we paid for large, the amount of fish inside the batter was disappointing. The chips were hard and crispy, although hubby said he prefers them that way. At £11.50 per fish (1 × large haddock & 1 x large plaice) I would expect it to be cooked nicely, fish doesn't need alot of time to cook, the plaice was mushy. The chips of which we had 2 large portions for three of us, were £5.50 a portion. Had I have been eating in, I would have sent the fish and chips back, they were not particularly enjoyable, the batter was inedible, and therefore thrown away. There were no complaints from our son who had a burger, a half pounder with cheese and with salad. It looked very nice. However for a total cost of £46.99 I don't think it was a good value meal and I will now look for an alternative fish & chip shop. Just giving my honest opinion.

Very disappointed with tonight's fish n chips. We use M&A's a lot for delivery, takeaway and to eat in and have always had good food but tonight the chips were cooked at LEAST twice so reheated and the batter on the fish was virtually inedible making the fish well below their usual standard 😠

M&A fish bar AVOID THEM, Complained via delivery foodhub took ages for call back Owner was RUDE. He said do not use us again I don't want your business he then started to swear and said "don't beep beep use us again" this was the owner not an employee we asked if new ownership as food quality was bad cold dry ended up £15 in the bin. If you are looking for fish & chip shop. I would say avoid M&A These new owners don't care about customers, only care about money not returning customers. Used them for years and in last three months we have had two issues one no food delivered but internet money transfer still taken. And tonight was like they had re-fried chicken 2 or 3 times as it was so dry like eating cardboard. Main thing the manager does not care and swares over the phone at us the customers. Said don't order from us again.

The female staff member was just so kind bringing our order out to the car as my mother is disabled and I didn’t want to leave her outside on her own. The service was perfect and we had the best lunch ever as we pulled in opposite the sea. Thank you for making our day a special one and your fish and chips delicious.

The worst savaloy I’ve ever tasted. The inside colour was grey and the texture was so mushy, flavour didn’t even taste like a savaloy. Chips were average, vinegar was so watered down you could barely taste it. Small chips and savaloy came to £5.20, expensive and disappointing. I wish I’d of gone to one of the chip shops by the pier. Such a shame as this used to be a lovely place to eat when the previous owners were there. It seems quality has gone down and prices have shot up.

I was at Clacton on sea for holiday, and on a Sunday could not find a sigle fish and chips open, and by luck I stumbled on M&A. I sure am glad I did, I had a lovely large rock fish, and my wife had a large scampi. Chips just how we like them , thick !! I sure will be using them again. Looks like a very friendly owners. Just want to say they sell all sort of food, like chicken, pies lamb etc.

Went to M & A fish shop last Week and ordered a take away meal for me and Hubby to eat at home. The Large battered sausage I asked for while I waited for the fish to cook was “ warm” so I gave it back as it wasn’t sufficiently hot enough. The replacement was better.( but not much and didn’t want to make an issue about it.) They also wrapped another as a complimentary one to take home. So I ordered that day 2 Medium Cod and 2 small chips with salt and vinegar. 1 steak and kidney pie and the large battered sausage I ate while waited. The whole order came to about £18 something. When I got home my husband refused to eat ANY of the Cod as it was swimming in about half a tonne of greasy oil in the paper with the fish, all soggy underneath. I ate some of mine as I was starving.But cost me a fortune and was the Worst fish and chips/ Battered sausage and steak and kidney pies I think I’ve ever eaten. Definitely WON’T be eating there again ( no matter how hungry I am.) Too many staff behind the counter standing around and the blonde woman with ponytail serving Was all nice and polite to your face then when I took the warm battered sausage back to complain and they gave me a replacement and walked outside to eat it, I could hear her saying “what’s wrong with it “ as common as muck ( not very professional as obviously she took it personally when I returned the warm sausage) But I don’t think it’s the original M&A owners ( just think the new owners are trading with the same name as you have M&A plastered everywhere and would cost a fortune to refurb ( I’m assuming)

After 5 days in bed ( medical, not lazy) surviving on scraps of toast I emerged like an hibernating bear, looking for taste and comfort in my food. M&A delivered with their budget cod and chips and a cuppa tea. Dine in, with proper plates and flatware for a fiver. Service friendly. I am a happy well fed bear cub, off to the river to tell my mates that they don't have to catch their own fish . . . .

We are have become regular customers of M&A Fish Bar. We have not actually been in and eaten but we have the delivery. We order on line, and it is delivery in no time at all, they say on line that it is 45 minutes, but we have never waited that long...normally it arrives within 20 minutes. We normally have a treat on a Monday evening, and I can say it is delivered fresh hot and not greasy at all, I don't eat fish myself so I mainly have chicken and it is tasty and not dry at all. We have recommended M&A Fish bar to loads of people. You'd be a fall to miss out on this restaurant/takeaway!

I ordered a large cod and regular chips, to be delivered to the Premier Inn Clacton. Felt a bit guilty, as was only a small order. However, nothing was too much trouble for them. Very friendly telephone manner and delivery guy was lovely as well. Joking and laughing with me. Delivery only took 15 minutes to arrive. The fish and chips were fantastic. Fish was huge! Fresh fish, lovely crisp batter, NOT swimming in grease. Not one bad chip in bag. Hot and tasty. Will definitely be using M & A fish and chips when next in Clacton. Thanks for a lovely meal 😋

When we stood at the door, I wouldn't have gone in without Google Maps. It looked very small and cramped and seemed a bit like a bar only. However, when we did ask, we were sent to the back and up the stairs to end up in a really rustic, cozy guest room where other guests were already sitting and eating. The very friendly and helpful lady of the house was a little under the weather, but did her best to serve us quickly. We had three rump steaks with pepper sauce and a burger for the youngest. We were all wonderfully satisfied, it tasted really good. I had a bit of a lot of tendon with my piece of meat, but the other two steaks were flawless. It was a nice end to our vacation in England!
