Ocean Blue Fish and Chips in Southampton

El peor pescado y patatas fritas que he tenido nunca eran comestibles!!! Nunca los volveré a pedir de nuevo están en uber come la entrega fue rápido aunque (uber) no la tienda

Awful chips were just odd like frozen ones pasty and pie cold and curry sauce was like water ..

Went in for fish and chips last night the haddock was ok but a lot of bones in the fish. Chips tasted like they had been reheated and were so dry. I used to use this shop a lot but will no longer be returning

Went there at lunch time today had a battered sausage and chips. The sausage was fresh but the chips were not. The chips were disgusting, hard and tasted like they had been cooked and left and cooked again. They were pretty much inedible. If I had more time I would have driven back and thrown then back through the door.

This was a good fish shop untill it was taken over had 3 lots of fish about a week ago 2 cod and a place and chips it cost £22 and it was the worsed food i have had the batter was so thick and hard the chips well if you can call them chips thy were treble so i will not be going back this is the second time i have put this on but thy have took the first one down

Used to be top dog for fish and chips , new owners now and not even half as good Avoid unless desperate.

This was the worst fish and chips I have had and the wife +son the battery was hard my place was watery where it had not been thawd out problem and the chips we,re so disgusting my dog wood not eat them pluses it was ready and the person did not get it out right away so I don't think I be going back

El pescado estaba bien. Chips basura. Me sorprendió tanto la calidad de los chips que busqué en Google Ocean Blue ya que no reconocí a la persona que servía. Descubrí que son nuevos dueños. No vamos a volver, lo cual es una gran pena, ya que anteriormente era brillante.

This was a great chip shop, new management has taken over and now it’s just another below average chippy.

No longer uses this chip shop as prices increased to being too expensive. Since new management took over. Watch out for false reviews saying how good the food is, since the change of mangerment, don't waste your money go else where.

Visited this chippy for the first time Ordered 2 OAP fish and chips.My wife’s was just ok , but my fish was awful, slight aroma of amonia and undercooked.. Was offered a refund but wasn’t bothered to travel back to get it.

Soooo disappointed, use to come here for the curry sauce, the previous owners did chinese curry sauce, wasnt aware it had new management as wouldnt have ordered if i had, chips were fine but the curry sauce wasn't it was disgusting, so disappointed, wont be going there again

New owners now. 13/03/24 - Sadly I did not think as good as previous owners. Fish batter not as golden and fish portion small. Chips were not hot and could have been crisper. Pea fritter was a lot smaller and not warm. Had to reheat chips and pea fritter. A little disappointed 😞. Time will tell if it improves.

Ocean Blue has recently changed hands so the need to update my previous review. Unfortunately, it's not good. The chips were cold, and my steak pie luke warm (at best) with soggy pastry. The fish was fine though, but no tartare sauce sachet and lemon slice as previously. The best part about this chippie: its curry sauce, is alas no more... Once the best curry sauce of any chippie, now just the same standard chip shop rubbish probably made from a powder from the cash & carry. Absolutely awful. Shame, now I've got to find a new go to chip shop! Great fish & chips. Fish always great, chips good too. Curry sauce is to die for, best curry sauce than any other chippy. Slice of lemon and sachet of tartare sauce comes with your fish. Friendly staff, wish it was open later than 8.30. Proper chippy fish and chips whilst stumbling home from the boozer on a Friday night used to be a national pastime....

This WAS the best, no more . Went last night, new owners...fish was greasy and batter insipid, chios ice cold. Peas and curry watery ...infact tasteless... threw it out ...never again

This used to be an excellent fish and chip shop...went last night, to find it is under new management. I was assured " Nothing has changed" I am sorry to say, it absolutely has and for the worse. The batter on the cod was insipid and swimming in grease, the chips were luke warm at best and were clearly not fresh , the peas and curry sauce were watery and tasteless.. the whole lot went in the bin uneaten...never again, such a shame

It was so busy last night and the fish taste was delicious and they gave us good portion of fish and chips.

I can't believe I have to write this. This was my favourite place to go! This was by far the best Fish and Chip shop ever to open in Woolston if not Southampton! But The owners decided to sell and changed over hands. I am saddened that I didn't get to see my friend one last time before they sold but putting that aside. I chose to order after being assured the old owner showed them where everything was and that they haven't changed anything... This is a bold face lie, I am disgusted with the food! I used to know the old own quite will in terms of business and often spoke about the quality and what she did to maintain standards. One thing she did that stood out from all the others, she used high quality potatoes! She refused to use the White ones other shops order, because she felt like the chips didn't have the right quality and taste! Sadly in the hand over something so simple like this was instantly lost and they changed product to a bland and tasteless potato. The sausage... She made it a effort to buy some quality sausages, she did this to make sure she had the crown as the best sausage in Woolston. I am not 100% if they changed the sausage but the batter... The oily, greasy, disgusting batter that they put on this sausage was horrifying! My hands was coated in grease! She would have never let this happen! The curry sauce!!!!! What the hell was you thinking! She had the best around! It was so rich and tasty, It was the best sauce I have ever had from a chip shop! And you right off the bat changed it to the common microwave disgusting sauce! No one in there right mind would have changed that sauce at all! It's disgusting! The pea fritter..... Why? Why did you come in and change everything to make it worse? They had the best Pea fritter, it was a smooth texture in a light Chinese style batter.... instead you changed it to a marrowfat type disgusting cheap pea fritter, tasted like something you would get from lidls..... it was hard peas, with this raw bite to them... That is NOT how it should be, it should be a nice smooth texture with a little bite if anything not this horrifying emulsification of pure excrement! I am sad the old owners went, but I am deeply saddened as to who's taken over! I hope the old owner is successful in what they chose to explore and I hope that there was no horrible reason as to why they had to leave. Do not go here under any circumstance at all! Disgusting! Also as a side note, they charged me £10.30 for less quality... outrageous! How dare you! "This is totally hate speech in words. I saw your profile and notice that you left negative reviews for most of the other places. For the quality wise we are fine and using best quality things for our customers. Any way we are using same things what was already been used in shop." - new owner Were do I even start? First of all how dare you claim you are using the same stuff the last owner was! The pea fritters are using different ingredients, the curry sauce is completely different and the chips where mostly thin hard and disgusting! What planet are you on where you can even remotely call it the same! Hate speech? Not at all, I am extremely disappointed that you took one of the best Chip Shops in Southampton and turned it into the most disgusting one I have ever eaten from. Tasty place up the road was the king of nasty, before it was taken over, now it's mid at best... Sadly YOU have taken that crown. I am sad the owner left and I didn't get to say bye, but your food is outrageous, disgusting and a pathetic attempt at trying to cash in on the success that they had! Also looking into my account to see what I review... I mostly review the places that make me want to review, most of the reviews I have made about 11, are places to avoid. I hardly make good reviews because most of the time there is enough out there to see how good the place is without me needing to make a review, but there is never enough negative in depth reviews for places like this. I craft each review with one view in mind, to inform. This place is tarnished!

Decent portion of fish and chips, visit first time Will definitely try again

New owners and Fryer.Pie's rank.Fish batter needs some serious work to be fair the batter was rock hard sorry but im not going back

Good service. Ordered cod and chips. Fresh and tasty food

Quality fish and chips with good price. Love their frerro Milkshake as well which they recently started

At the first moment I thought that I was eating at home. The food was fresh and very well cooked. I am so satisfied.

Thin crispy battered cod and lovely chips. Deeeelicious !!

My favourite fish and chips in Southampton. Very nice service and tasty food.

Had fish and chips from here today. Good portion size, light batter, and lovely fish. Tasty Plaice won’t be used again, has really gone downhill after the old proprietor left. Well Done Ocean Blue! 👏

Recommended to me & I was not disappointed. Very tasty fish & chips, best I've had for a long time. Will now br my go to place

Best fish & chips in Woolston. Food is always fresh and tasty. The chip portions are huge! Friendly service and good selection on the menu.

Always lovely fish and chips here. Freshly cooked to order and a friendly service

Fish was pretty good...portion size was good...curry sauce was ok....but the big problem was the chips...they were terrible... can't knock the portion size...but chips were horrible....they had only just opened, so would expect everything to be nice and fresh... disappointing

Very tasty fish and chips, crisp, not soggy, and also very reasonably priced.

Faultless. Beautifully presented, delicious food. Best fish and chips for miles, easily

Really nice fish and chips, with superb curry sauce. A quite hefty amount of chips for a small portion. Would recommend!

Always the same high standard & prompt & freindly service

The best fish and chip I've had in ages. I keep coming back for more . Brilliant

Best fish and chips in the town 👌

The best fish and chips in woolston

Aways freshly cooked definitely worth the wait, friendly service and noticed caring to the pentioners they serve giving a little time to chat

Great chippy well priced and always happy enough to make up some battered saveloys

Very helpful, prices are good best place for curry sauce in Woolston

This is our go-to chip shop in Woolston. Big portions, good prices. Just a shame it's not open on Sundays!

Place looks clean and tidy, big easy menu to pick from, frieldy lady at the counter, food was hot and yumm but for One Code 🐠small piece of lemon 🍋 and small portion of chips 🍟 I paid 7.50 its a bit bit to much, at least add drink.

Just had a Friday treat from Ocean Blue. The chips are perfect and everything else is top quality. Friendly service too.

Superb friendly service, delicious hot food. Value for money. Highly recommend.

Always Fresh and delicious fish&chips, clean and tidy shop. Good customer service. Definitely worth it 🤗🤗

This is simply the best fish and chip shop in Woolston by miles, the batter is like it used to be nice and crispy crunchy, chips are good too, small bag of chips is what most class as large.

Good customer service. Best fish and chips. Decent prices. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Big portions. Very good value for money

I honestly think this is consistently the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten. The chips are good but the fish is so well cooked, it’s perfect. They cook everything to order so you get time to buy a bottle of wine from next door too.

The best fish I have had in a long time, the batter is excellent, small chips is what some serve as medium to large. Friendly staff. excellent well done great quality & value for money.

Always fresh and the staff are fantastic people

Very nice chippy and there are a few in Woolston. I prefer the chips in this one though. If you haven't tried it yet..do.

Food is cooked fresh, chips are delicious, nothing warmed up like most chip shops nowadays. The curry source, the best i have ever tasted. And the service is brilliant. Highly reccomended. 5 stars all day long.

Excellent cod and chips, can't wait to try a few more things on the menu.

Tasty food, speedy service, and friendly staff... my favourite local chip shop! 😍 P/S: One of the first shops to always have a mask on since the start of the covid pandemic. Gives one a warmer fuzzier safer feeling when visiting ;)

Excellent, loads of chips, golden and crispy, and seem to b cooked in fresh oil. Fish very good, with light and crispy batter. Really enjoyed, sat down by the sea. Excellent.and the lemon and tartare sauce a brilliant touch.

One of the better fish and chip shops in Southampton, very good quality, good portion size and not greasy!

Very nice fish and chips, lovely and moist fish.

Best fish,sausage,fritters,chips everything they cook here is amazing,never greasy-freshly made while you wait-I usually phone with my order then collect-always ready quickly-owners so lovely and helpful-Never been back to a chippy twice as usually disappointing but we are regulars here-Thankyou

I really enjoyed my haddock, pea fritter & chips! The batter was light and crispy, the fish was beautifully cooked, as were the chips and pea fritter! I loved the presentation, lemon and tarter sauce too! Thank you Blue Ocean, Woolston, Southampton! 🙏✨✅

Some of the best chips I have ever tasted and the best value too, there is a little wait for your food but that is because everything is cooked fresh, one of the best chip shops around, and the lady that serves is the nicest person too

Come here quite often for dinner, friendly staff (think it's been taken over since its been open) food well priced, tastes really good. Always seem to be busy with customers 👍🏻

Ocean Blue are a recent addition to the takeaways in Woolston. Before they opened they advertised well, so people were aware of them. And they are well located in an area with lots of other takeaways, so the business should do well. We've tried them and found them OK. Not bad, but not special, and not value for money. Each to their own with fish and chips, and if you're not that fussed, and would rather not have to wait in a queue then this place is fine. But if you want perfectly cooked fish and chips with generous portions, then try Tasty Plaice. You usually have to wait because the place is so popular, but it's worth the wait!

regularly go here tasty BIG portions of Chips and lovely FISH

Expensive and greasy food served in posh boxes

Always had excellent fish and chips from here, lovely batter and big portions 😉, certainly recommend 😋😋

Went for the 1st time tonight. I had jumbo battered sausage, chips with mushy peas and curry sauce, hubby had plain sausage and pineapple fritter with his chips. They were delicious, really chunky chips, hot n fresh. The batter wasn’t greasy at all and the mushy peas were amazing. All in all I will def be going here again and it’s open later than most chippys. X

Always high quality fish and chips.

Always beautifully cooked food, easily the best tasting fish in Woolston.

Ordered a small and got the biggest portion ever! Very tasty and fresh and served in a handy cardboard box which is a nice, environmentally friendly touch.

Best fish and chips we have ever had,crispy and not greasy the fish was beautiful and white.Perfect👍

Superb chip shop Best in woolston by far.

Great fish and chips, time after time. Worth pointing out that they don't do burgers or the like - sticking to fish and chips, mushrooms, onions rings, scampi.. They stick to what they are excellent at. There's also a pretty good kebab shop right next door if you wanted to grab a burger to go with the fish and chips. Friendly staff and owner. I chatted about delivery and they said they just wouldn't be able to keep the quality up with the volume of orders delivery would generate. Now *that* is a business that knows what to concentrate on. Not that they are afraid of volume and work .. they're opening a second fish bar soon in Sholing.

What would you expect from a fish & chips shop? It should be clean, fast and tasty. On top of these, prices are reasonable, portions are generous and the people are smiling sincerely. This place got all the ticks from me. So, they have a new regular customer.

Great food and open on a Sunday!

After a days traveling and then furniture moving we were all ready for a sit down and dinner. New to this area of the city we chose here as the first night meal and were not disappointed. The establishment is clean and service friendly. Fish was great and the chips equally delicious. Would definitely use again.

Fish was absolutely lovely. Just a light batter and fried perfectly. Staff really friendly also. Will be going back.

Had scampi /chips. Lovely with tartar.

The ocean blue fish and chip shop in woolston is the best in the area and you won't find one to better it the food is absolutely superb and every thing is cooked fresh and if you are in woolston go and try it and you won't be disappointed

Great fish and chip shop, love the food here and its well worth a visit. The staff are very friendly and always great you with a smile. There is a lot of selection in woolston but this has to be in the top 2 for fish and chips and a wide range of options on the menu.

Personally, I think it's the best fish and chips I've had since many years. Highly recommended. Also its the only one Fish and Chips opened Sunday :)

First time we’ve been to this Fish & chip shop. Very impressed! Lovely, well cooked food, not greasy or over cooked. Tasty place, watch out!

Just got food for four from ocean blue and we all agreed it was top notch! Having travelled round the country, I’m a bit picky about chippys - so really happy to have tried this one. Batter - excellent. Thin, crispy without being brittle. Fish - fresh, not mushy, cooked perfectly. Served with lemon and tartar sauce sachet. Comes in a real sturdy box too. Chips - chunky, crispy, fresh spuds. Also tried the onion rings and mushrooms. Again, batter light, crispy - excellent Portion sizes - huge. To be honest, two large cod would have done three of us easily. Small chips is plenty enough for one; large would do two easily. Another top top - why not pop down the road to Olaf’s Tim for a quick half and some takeout ale while you wait for the fish to fry? This might be the perfect chippy in Southampton I’m in no way connected with the business, but great food deserves a write up.

Food was lovely staff were great and willing to go the extra mile will be using again.Thanks

Very good portion sizes very good,value for money very clean

We now use this place rather than the 2 fish and chip shops within walking distance from where we live! Food is always really fresh with very little grease and delicious!! Would highly highly recommend.

Lovely fish and chips the food is great, staff are lovely and the whole shop is very clean
