After searching for somewhere to eat, we found this awesome chip shop, all cooked fresh while we waited, the cod was really flakey inside with deliciously crispy batter, the steak pie was also really good, best of all was the Irish curry sauce with the chips was outstandingly delicious . Sat in a lay-by - 5 mins away on the Brecon beacons to eat was just perfect would recommend without hesitation.. yummy delicious food. Thank you

Shop was dirty, food was grim. Fish was not fresh and the chips had been refried with old oil. Totally gone down hill

The potatoes were evidently well past their best. The cell structure was broken down, so the chips were limp and a weird dark brown. I'd say the spuds were starchy, like they were preparing or already sprouting. The saveloy was cold and blue inside - totally unappetising. Chucked the lot away

Tried this place a few years ago and it was awful. Thought it still cant be that bad, so ordered a couple of portions of chips and ended up binning them. They smelled of dirty oil and were dry. I have no idea what they had done with them? Maybe reheated? But will never be back. Yuk!

This used to be the best fish and chip shop around. Lately though, the prices have risen and the portions have shrunk. Using smaller boxes to make it look like the portion hasn't changed. We used to get our fish and chips every Friday as a treat. Got ours tonight, dry and overcooked battered fish, undercooked chips and not enough Panko Prawns to make a portion, so they topped it up with a fishcake, no dip. This is the third time since just before Christmas. We thought last time was a one-off, but it doesn't appear to be. We won't be going there again!

Used to be the best fish and chips in Cornwall but for the past few weeks has been very disappointing. I thought maybe it was a one off but now 4 times in a row, due to new management I assume, the food has been very poor. Soggy and greasy chips, batter is also soggy. Chips have lots of green and black ends in and are quite unpleasant. What used to be my favourite takeaway has become one of the worst. Unpleasant greasy and soggy food.

How difficult is it to make a good plate of fish n chips, particularly if you do it day in, day out. Clearly it’s not as easy as I thought. The cod & chips and haddock were not quite as expected. The cod had soggy, greasy batter. The haddock batter was a bit crisper but loaded with grease and running into the polystyrene container. The chips were like small end cuts and wrinkly and tuff, possibly reheated from lunch time. The guy serving me was smiling, polite and friendly, hence the additional stars. His assistant doing the cooking possibly needs more training or more practice.

Previously ordered many times and always enjoyed, but placed an order for more people this time. A meal was missing so I called to let them know, and ask for the remaining food. I was told I was wrong and it was all sent. We double checked our receipt and the food. Then told they couldn’t do anything as order was placed through Deliveroo. Just an apology would have made a big difference.

Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had and believe me, that’s based upon sampling a lot of places over the years!

Apparently this used to be the best chippie around, but it's recently changed hands and we were disappointed. Dry stodgy chips, small pieces of fish, soggy batter. Go elsewhere.

Fish was very very nice, chips however were very very poor dry overcooked and not fresh I can only assume they were the end of that particular batch which was disappointing.

Pitstop whilst working away. This was not a good takeaway. I had to wait a while - whilst deliveroo drivers turned up and collected orders. Staff were not wearing face masks and I saw a member of staff touch their mouth. The chips were OK. They were a little greasy and I had two undercooked / hard chips in the one portion ordered. The fish was soggy. The batter had cooked on one side but half of the batter was uncooked and squidgy. I could not eat it. Even worse the fish was covered in the wet batter meaning i had to waste most of the fish. I will not return.

This chip shop was recently taken over by new owners. The new owner is a really cool guy not the misery that was there before. Really great fish the large cod is sumptuous, really good value. Chips could be a little nicer cooked.

Having initially planned lunch at Muddy Beach, we didn't bother staying due to a reduced size menu at eye watering prices for an impromptu stop. This led us to grabbing something quick to take back to the office instead, Nemos certainly did not disappoint. Large fish & chips with a side for under £8. The fish was a large skinless, well cooked fillet on top of a generous portion of chips with the side. This is far better than the 'Harbour Lights' where we usually go to in Falmouth and in future I shall drive to Nemos in Penryn to buy our fish suppers instead. The shop is a clean & hygienic environment with covid measures in place. The staff are lovely, especially the girl serving and they have a great menu with offers. Well done Nemos, I don't give 5 out of 5 easily & you have earnt it & a new customer!

Recently ordered plaice and chips, waited 40 minutes, ate some of the fish with one part tasting very “fishy” so I decided not to eat the rest. The next morning I was violently ill with vomiting for 36 hours. Sad as I will now need some convincing to come back again and I’m seriously questioning their hygiene standards.

Yesterday I called Nemos to preorder fish and chips for a group of us. When I arrived to collect them, the staff were really pleasant and courteous, and the wait was very short as our fish was almost ready. The chips were plentiful and tasty, and the fish was so fresh. The whole meal was really wonderful, and we will now be making Nemos our new local. Cannot recommend highly enough.

There was quite a queue crammed into Nemo's, but that proved a good sign as their fish & chips are top notch. They had plenty of staff on, working like Trojans, but you can't rush at this game, and a bunch of us had to wait for the next batch of chips to be done. Well worth it, because the reward was a piping hot nest of chips under a stellar bit of battered fish. The chips had plenty of potato flesh in them, and the flavour was like I remember from my childhood, so Nemo's must be doing something right in the fat they use. Whatever their secret is, those were the best chips I've had in ages--no soft, stuck-together lukewarm clinker here, that's for sure.I just had the regular cod & chips, but the portions were generous and more than enough. Some punters were ordering large cod & chips, and if they could eat all that, good luck to them. I saw a large cod served to the guy in front of me, and I tell you it was the size of a clown's shoe. To sum up: be prepared to queue, but you won't regret it.

We visited Nemo’s for a fish and chips takeaway dinner whilst staying locally on holiday. The food was lovely, very fresh, cooked and presented well with care and attention.

My 80th Birthday Party , 17th August 2018.Treated my children and grandchildren to a fish and chip supper from Nemos.Twelve large cod and chips with peas and two vegi burgers with chips and onion rings.I'm 80 now so know a thing or two about fish and chips.These were the best I have ever tasted. Magnificent thick white cod pieces in superb golden batter. Huge portions of the most perfect chips; crisp on the outside soft on the inside. This wonderful feast completed our day.Thank you Bryan and well done. I honestly believe you make the best fish and chips in the country.Peter Richardson, Mylor.

Recommended by some lovely locals we met up on pendennis point, they couldn’t rave about nemo’s with any more enthusiasm! Firstly, no where to park, secondly, a very disinterested server bordering on rude. Resulted in fairly average scampi, nice chips, followed almost immediately by severe digestive issues lasting throughout the evening. Suffice to say I won’t be returning or recommending!

After reading the good reviews from previous customers we were disappointed with the chips we had. Good size portions but they were floppy and tepid - not very nice. Perhaps we went on the wrong day and was unlucky?

How can I do this justice - simply saying the best fish and chips EVER hardly gives anyone reading this reference to my experiences. So lets put it this way: I have had the privilege of eating the humble fish and chip dish in four continents and many seperate establishments. London, Johannesburg, San Francisco, Copenhagen, Dubai - the list continues.

We ordered lobster roll expecting some beautifully presented lobster curled round a tasty dressing. What turned up was a scant tablespoon of chopped overcooked lobster in a cold, cheap, tasteless white finger roll of bread that would have disgraced the bargain shelf of the cheapest supermarket. It was inedible. The side of hispi cabbage was well cooked, thankfully, or I would have left feeling very hungry. There are no loos. You have to use the dimly lit and droughty public loos in the adjacent council carpark. This is possibly the worst restaurant in St. Ives.

Such a warm welcome from everyone and enjoyed seeing the locals at the bar laughing and enjoying themselves, a real feel of Cornish community about the place. Extensive menu so you don’t have to just stick to fish and chips, fish pie, curried cod and prawns to name but a few other choices. If you can get a window seat above the old lifeboat launch ramp do it. Enjoyed our meal here and a must visit if you are in the area.
