Madasafish in South Tyneside

Walked from Seaburn and got hungry. Stumbled across this gem. Had an interesting discussion on what scraps/batter/crackling/bits called. Very tasty well cooked fish bites (good sized pieces) and chips. Washed down with great ales at nearby Blues Micropub where you can take in your takeaway.

An off the road gem of a place. Madasafish has been consistently one of the very best fish and chip takeaways in the Sunderland/Whitburn area. The staff are always friendly - feels like a proper community takeaway. They always have time for a natter. The food is excellent too - the cod is without doubt the best in the area by quite a country mile - and the portions are very generous. Good menu range and a pizza menu too - all pizzas cooked to order (as is the fish when I have been). When I have family visiting from out of town, this is our go to takeaway - and they all love it. It's a pleasure to frequent!

Perfect fish and chips Always fabulous - love it -best fish and chips for miles. Great service too !!

Havent been for a while but didn't disappoint. Massive thick cod in lovely batter and big portion and not at all greasy. Really good and I'm fussy

Seafront was heaving and remembered someone had said portions were good. However we were v disappointed. Yes good portions but quality must be good aswell........when I unwrapped the fish it was sitting in oil.Soggy batter and oil soaking through the paper. The dog was very happy.

Passing through & after a walk by the sea decided to get fish & chips. It was freshly cooked, the fish was huge & perfectly cooked, couldn’t actually finish the portion of chips with it.

Fish was excellent but the chips we would give a 5/10 Very expensive for two fish one portion of chips vs and a curry sauce

I always get friendly service. Great fish and chips, if you ring for collection they do them fresh 😋

Just had the worst fish and chips ever from here - paid over £18 for 2x fish and chips and a sausage and chips for us and the grandkids to share - when we got them home 75% of it went in the bin - not happy as we were hungry - needless to say we won’t be back - really disappointing

We regularly use this fish and chips shop and, after sampling many others in the area, have to conclude that this is by far the best. Friendly staff, excellent service and beautifully cooked fish and chips to take away every time. Whitburn is fortunate to have such a place of such high quality .

We live around the corner. What a lovely chip shop. Really reasonable too. Lovely light batter on the fish.

Went as a family to this fish shop and when we attempted to salt and vinegar our meals, the woman behind the counter snatched the containers and said it was her job to do it? Asked for batter and she reluctantly put a few bits in a separate bag. The ultimate downside was when we tried to pay by bank card. She pointed us towards a cash point on the main Shields Rd as they don't do card transactions. By the time we got our food it was clay cold. It was disgusting, the chips were wet and slimey as was the service! Definitely not customer friendly in any aspect whatsoever.

We visited Madasafish for the first time on 23/02/2018. Really looking for a "sit-in" meal but it appears that such places are rare around this area. However, had a "sit-out" with fish and chips from here. The staff could not have been more pleasant and efficient. Great produce, great service. My only remark would be that we got rather a lot ( which is a positive for the shop) Would and will, return if we are in the area again.

Fish are huge, you get loads of chips, and batter. Fish bites, pies, fishcakes sausages etc including pizza if you want. Excellent staff, always nice.

Well what can you say !! "It's just another fish and chip shop" well yes it is but not like the rest !!! The food is absolutely lovely !! The fish is cooked perfectly and unlike other places is not oil laden and over battered !! Chips are gorgeous and the pizzas were to die for !!! The staff are fabulous and friendly and they make you feel really welcome. Definitely worth multiple visits if you live close or if just passing through make sure you pop in for some of the best fish you'll ever taste !!!

My kid was barred for complaining about how they don't do batter, or wouldn't do batter. Wasn't bothered, it was batter as a M&M's.

Madasafish never fails to supply a quality serving, enough in a single lot to satisfy the pair of us.

Went here for chicken Kiev pizza ten inch, also ten inch pepperoni pizza. Absolutely lovely, really enjoyed just melted in mouth. I ate all my chicken kiew apart from one slice I Was so full. Lovely pizza by the owner thank you. Great service too.please try the pizzas they are great. Fantastic.

Had fish and chips,mushy peas very tasty. Pies are Beautiful and staff are friendly and is service good. Will definitely return. Nice little chippy. Good Value for Money. Well done yous.

Tried fish and chips for two but decided one fish between two could sometimes fit the bill. The fish is huge and excellent, always fresh

Trouble with this place is if we visit anywhere else in the country and get fish and chips they don't compare either in taste or portion size. Fish and chips for one easily feeds 2 of us. That's certainly not the case elsewhere and price is the same. The fish varies from very good to excellent depending on how soon it is cooked and the chips are good. Certainly not raw. I hate soggy chips and can eat these so reasonably well done. We haven't found a better chippy and start comparing it to the likes of the Magpie in Whitby. Praise indeed.

Food was uncooked. Pointed issues out to staff and was given attitude and made out to a be a liar. Apparently you need to ask for chips well done if you don't want them raw. Never heard that before!!

This chippy is a 2 minute walk from my house and the food is always superb! Couldn't fault it, and the price is very cheap considering the quality of the food, I come here all the time however on my last visit I came at 8.40pm and they shut at 9pm they pretty much had no food on and weren't willing to cook anything and the staff were clearly agitated and snappy as they wanted to go home, was disappointed with the service on my last visit but despite that hiccup it's a lovely little chippy.

After a little drive around the pretty village of Whitburn I spotted Madasafish so after I dropped my friend off I sneaked back, the guy had one piece of cod ready and offered me a fresh one. I ordered fish, chips and mushy peas surprise, surprise! All superb especially the soup textured mushies!! oh and a nice guy too....
