Ocean Blue Fish and Chips in Chichester

Well the missus has gone and said it, and called it the best fish and chips she's ever had. Bold statement! Sadly I had the steak and kidney pie. On the upside, what a pie!! Definitely home made, full of chunky steak and offal, and just every bite was a dream. We also had a portion of peas and curry sauce (the curry was banging!), which really topped it off. The only downside is the spam fritter was no longer on the menu, however the likelihood they were saving me from myself.

Rly gd fish n chips and the curry sauce is unmatched

Great fish and chip takeaway. Generous portions and very hot.

Gave it 4 stars overall as its expensive. The food is top notch though. They take card. The woman who was serving was very angry with the cook on this occasion so made the atmosphere less than welcoming.

Chips always good but very disappointing amount of fish compared to batter

Awful experience, I was actually in shock at the customer service here from the young girls serving. You must ask for everything you want as they won’t ask you if you want anything in your burger or even if you want salt and vinegar on your chips. They even gave me all the food without a bag which then proceeded to burn me as a walked out with it. Food was okay, but the service really did shock me. Definitely not what you would expect in Midhurst.

Always get a good portion of chips and cod.

Best takeaway in midhurst, ordered from here for years and it never disappoints

Very good staff, talkative and all :) Food was delicious, love ordering from here Quite quiet at times, orders are pretty quick

Cold brown chips. Put them in bin

My local and always a good take away.

Lovely little chippy discovered on way home from Winchester. Not too expensive but has nice atmosphere and the food was excellent. My wife had cod and chips. I had a cheeseburger with hot chilli sauce. Lovely. Would happily stop here again.

Absolutely perfect- can’t be bettered !

Dropped in on way back from Goodwood, very nice chippy.

Jessie Carter was very rude to me when ordering and the food is good but service is terrible had no manners whatsoever 👎

Friendly and welcoming lovely fish and chips extensive menu highly recommended.

Tasty fish and chips, great service.

Had a takeaway from here tonight and I'm almost lost for words, fish at best average but greasy, but the chips INEDIBLE, I think they must have swept the floor before I went in, brown chewy and hard, it's a shame not only for me as I was hungry and still am, but for them also, if I ran a chip shop I would be embarrassed to serve that to people, but they obviously dont feel the same, anyway I wont be spending just short of £25 anytime soon there again.

If I could give no stars I would . Large cod was thin,dry and encased in rock solid batter. The chips were soggy , I don't think the cooking oil has been changed in a very long time. Avoid this place ,I certainly will !!

Great service and food, accommodated a big order (and 30 people) with no warning and had everything ready on time. Most importantly the food was perfect! Will come back

Excellent fish and chips, all freshly cooked to order. A total treat.

Great fish and chips and friendly staff! Recommend!

After trip to Goodwood I called in for Cod and Chips, fish was fresh and flakey and chips were great- recommend a visit

What a meal. What a presentation.! Superb large cod in a light crispy crunchy batter. The chips were equally as tasteful full of flavour cooked to perfection. My host who cooked this meal was elegantly dressed partly in a classic suit. Well done, can highly recommend.

Could be more cheerful but good fish and chips is that what matters!

Ocean Blue Marvelous Fish & Chips

Very busy on the day I visited, always a good sign of a decent chip shop. All socially distanced, we were given a number when our orders was taken then waiter outside till it was ready. Fairly quick turnaround considering some people ahead had large orders. Food was hot and tasty. A good experience;)

Drove from Petersfield one Monday evening as ours was closed. From now on I'll alway drive to midhurst for my fish and chips! Best fish and chips I've had around here hands down!

Excellent haddock & chips. Ordered by phone so no queuing when collecting.

We’ve been doing a bit of a fish and chip tour around the south east of England over the past couple months, after our weekly hikes. Ocean Blue is by far our favourite yet. We pre booked over the phone, and the lady who answered was super friendly and polite, made sure to get the order right. The service inside the shop was very warm, friendly and professional. Hello, service with a smile, goodbye and all that. The food itself was top quality. You can tell when the scampi inside the breaded layer is intact in one piece that quality of food is important to the shop owners. The cod was superb. Perfectly battered, well cooked. Chips were excellent. Curry sauce had a great consistency, slight kick to it and rich in flavour. All served hot and well packaged. Added this spot to my map favourites. Definitely coming here again if I’m in the area.

Best fish and chips for miles as always. Quality fish and golden chips. Ready on time for collection

Staff barely communicated and were too busy talking to each other and not taking notice of the customer. They didn't even say bye just flung me the bag of the chips. I said thankyou and bye and they carried on talking to each other taking no notice of me at all. Not a friendly service at all.

Dropped in for takeaway on a rainy Saturday.Chips were fresh and not overcooked or too oily, fish was well battered and not too oily.Only complaint is the server put the salt and vinegar in and normally I would load it with a lot more.It was fine

We live 30 miles away but often drive through Midhurst. We decided to treat ourselves but instead, felt like we’d been ripped off with rubbery, chewy fish and chips were literally all the leftover bits, half of which were too hard to eat. We never normally leave chips but this was disastrous . Just awful. Big regrets. Never again. Should have checked on Trip Adviser first!

Having read the poor reviews we were hesitant to get dinner from here, but when seeing the queue of people on Saturday night, we thought it couldn't be that popular and that rubbish. We got small and large cod and two chips. It was all absolutely delicious and we were so glad we did go there after all! Definitely give it a try and don't be put off by the reviews!

Really good fish and chips, not greasy and really nice people. Always enjoyed 😀👍

We have just had fish chips and mushy peas the fish was so greasy the chips was stale very over priced for terrible food we will never go back again

Sorry to say very poor quality today

Drove down from London, remembering a chip shop from waaaaay back in 1990 or thereabouts. Well, I found it and it was definitely worth the drive! Pie done perfectly (seriously scary how badly they are done in my local, never again!) and chips were excellent. Cooked fresh while I waited and pleasant staff. Thank you, I may make the 100 mile round trip again for dinner one day.

Dreadful chips and staff standing outside smoking ! Do they wash their hands afterwards!Not sure why some people think it's good .

Bijou fish and chips shop in the middle of town, easy parking nearby

The fish is excellent but just lately noticed that half my chips are dregs.. Really poor. Buy your fish here but nip lower down to the Grill for fab chips. Not late at closing. Great owners, miserable staff except the youngsters who are polite and welcoming.

Fantastic chips and great service 👍

I usuallly have a large cod and their smallest chips . Chips to die for crisp and crunchy. The cod the same with cruncy batter and don't know where it comes from but seems very fresh.

I had a burger which was hard and over cooked Curry sauce was microwave and the chips where soggy will not be going there again

Great fish and chips, friendly staff.

We returned to Ocean Blue when we discovered that they are now serving their take-aways in PAPER cartons not horrid plastic/polystyrene trays!!!!AND WHATA A REVALATION....simply the tastiest fish n chips I have had for a long long time, superb fish, lovely light batter and plump chips, not a bit greasy, just tasty tasty. and the guys are lovely as well!

We normally love this place which is why it's such a shame that recently there's been a young boy cooking the food using the fryer etc. He's clearly untrained, sloppy and off putting and every time we walk in and see him cooking we leave and you can tell everyone else in the shop is thinking the exact same thing.

Chips tasted a bit undercooked, Fish was alright, but the batter tasted like it had been left out too long, served by a girl who looked too young to operate a deep fat fryer.

Ordered fish and chips for 6. The shop was busy but the order arrived promptly and was well wrapped. The fish was overcooked. The chips were soggy. What a terrible experience

We’re workin away and was told to go to this chip shop and we travelled 6 miles to get there ... the food was lovely but was put off by a young chap serving that had a big fringe flick that he was ‘flicking ‘ over as he served !!Sort of put us off tbh ‍♀️

What excellent fish and chips. I went with the large cod which was cooked to perfection in a light crispy batter. The chips were very tasty larger than usual. Loved the presentation in the box. Kept things nice and hot.

What a bizarre place - the two ladies on duty were fighting like cats and dogs the whole time I was waiting (which was about 10 minutes) and the one serving was getting every order wrong while the lady cooking was vocally scolding her in front of the whole shop. Embarrassing to say the least.The chips were horrible and the gravy was like brown dishwater. Literally the worst experience I have ever had in a takeaway. Steer clear.

Fish and chips fresh and delicious food

Our local fish and chip takeaway. Excellent food. Only issue is having to wait for a while when it’s busy but it’s worth it. Never had bad takeaway.

Great fish and chips lovely friendly staff use regular.

The slowest chip shop I've ever visited they don't do a small cod for some strange reason and the staff are not very friendly

My Saveloy was crispy, i ask for 4 plain sausages, but they all came battered, Actually terrible 😂 and also there was one actual plain sausage and it was hard......

The Ocean Blue fish and chip shop is a great place to go to if you decide you want to have a change from preparing your own meals or for a quick stop off on your way home.I do this from time to time and they fish and chips are always very good.

Passing through Midhurst, stopped for fish and chips which was awesome. Will definitely return again. Thanks to Ocean Blue

Fish and chips is a must whilst away and this place was perfect. Lots of choice, even deep fried halloumi( which I tried and was lovely) fish cakes, fish, chips and sausage were the family choices and all enjoyed them with several sides. Serving in boxes made less washing up, bonus! The staff were really friendly too. A great little find

Great fish and chips!!!! What else can I say

I come here fairly regularly when passing through Midhurst. The chips are delicious and always fresh. They are a bit slow but it's worth the wait for such good food.

Usually really good but went in this week and the gentleman wasn't frying. The food was inedible. The fish was over cooked so burnt batter and chewy fish and the chips were under cooked. Truly awful and went in the bin. Such a shame but I won't be back.

Although the cooking of the fish has been over done on a couple of occasions, this tends to be when a certain member of staff is on duty but I've not seen them for a while now. So maybe this is a thing of the past. I've tried fish and chips all over the south so in my experience this at the top of the very few I would even bother with. Batter light and crispy and fish just cooked so it's glossy white. I don't usually eat chips but I like them here. I usually come here twice a week So I would definitely give it 5 out of 5! Thank you

See a few mixed reviews but I have never had a bad portion of chips ,the normal crew behind the counter are always friendly and its no hassle to stick a scampi on etc . Never had anything which tasted greasy . Have been living away from the area and got back last night , Cod and chips twice and it was lovely .

Stopped off on journey home from seaside...came accross this chip shop. Great service and great food. They even have us directions to the nearest park for our littleone before setting off another hour to get home. Recommend

Found this fish & chip shop yesterday... friendly service, immaculate shop and delicious fish & chips.... best I’ve had in a long while! will definitely be back again! Thank you 😊

Great fish and chip shop with friendly staff and cheap will give 5* if they ever get a card machine 🤣

First time using this fish and chip takeaway, best I’ve ever experienced! Uh oh waistline !

Had haddock and chips Skinless haddock was best fish I have eaten For a long long time Excellent !!

Thursday evening on spec. meal. Large cod and chips x 2 for just under £20. All food was standing when I arrived so service was quick. Got home and all was hot and tasty.

Lovely fish and chips the chips have got a lovely taste and the batter on the fish is so crispy, it's so nice to have your fish supper in a box

Best chips we have had for years. We will be sure to return when next visiting Midhurst. What a change from the dry often reheated chips usually found these days. This is a takeaway fish shop.

Classic British Chippie very well presented with very crisp batter and excellent chips. Delicious cod.

Very nice cod and chips. The batter was light and crispy rather than the usual thick and chewy from other chippers I've tried. The curry is about sweet for my taste but still would come again.

We were spending a couple of nights in the Upper Deck Apartments and decided to try a a chippy for tea! The haddock batter was crisp and tasty and the chips were delicious. So we had the same on or following night!

Fry off ! Rip Off , Visited The Branch on Sunday at around 5 .30 pm , it was not busy .I ordered a selection from their Menu , Been there a few times as we are locals resideints and its been generally good . However today I was disappointed in the so called LARGE Cod and fries . The cost at 6.40 , anyone would expect a decent size and crispy batter and hot . Waited a few minutes as there was none in the holding bin I asked for the Large Cod as this would be lovely and fresh . When the young lady at the counter asked us would you like salt and vinegar , I declined as this would ensure a soggy fish . She was very fast to box them up , to which I was interested to see the fish . I noticed the fish was small and around 6 oz and some but definitely not 8 oz as suggested by the cook . He said this size would depend on the water content in the fish , he also said they had issues with the sizes of the fillets that they have previously sold as they were a lot bigger . I was slightly confused with his giberish and excuses . Surely in this cut and throat business of Catering , I think its important to look after your customers to ensure a successful business long term and not fool the customer . I did also notice the shop inside was looking grubby , the stainless steel counter was dirty and the floor could have done with a good scrub . The rest of the orders seemed to be fine , however chips were slightly under cooked and not crispy .... Perhaps the shop name could be changed to sloppy Joe's .

We tend to have pie and chips when we go here (which are usually a bit soggy), 10 mins in a hot oven perks them up and improves them no end. Had fish a few times but been a bit greasy. Good enough if you are hungry, if you can wait then put them in a hot oven for a bit !

There were five people behind the counter, it took two people to take one order(not a large order, cod and chips twice) and two people were on the phone giggling as they were receiving funny phone calls despite five people waiting to order. The cod was quite nice. The chips were slightly under cooked and some were quite hard and raw. Not enough salt and vinegar. They leave the salt and vinegar behind the counter so you can't do it yourself. I think they should offer you the choice to do your own as not enough salt and vinegar on your fish and chips is a complete no no. Despite the above the food was ok. The curry sauce is lovely though.

Not over impressed ,the chips were a bit sad and the fish not the best. It didn't appear to be very busy so perhaps we had lunchtime leftovers at early suppertime. We have paid a lot less for better taste and quality.

Great!!! Had fish cakes & chips today lovely, best we've had for a long time :) will definitely recommend to anyone passing through Midhurst to go there & we will be going back. Thank you :)

We have take away very, very often from Ocean Blue ~ the new fish fillets are scrum didderly yum ( a lot more delicious than the old square chunks) ~ and our little Lardy Loves Loves Loves your amazing chicken nuggets ~ and the staff!!! always very welcoming ~ would give ten stars if possible ~ thanks chummys x

If you want great fish and chips, then you got to visit the Blue Ocean in Midhurst. Since the new owner has taken it over, he asked transformed it with great fresh fish and has added more items to the menu. Far more classy joint than before. Those who have given it less star ratings don't know what they are talking about.

The chips are the best we have had for a long time. Fresh and crispy, not like some that are a bit soggy. No aftertaste which you sometimes get if the cooking oil is a bit old. Would go again.

Great Fish and Chips, portion sizes are huge. Usually split a regular chips with my boyfriend and still have lots!

Before being taken over a few months ago we had stopped using this fish and chip shop, but since the new owner it is now yummy! Always cooked fresh to order, yes that means on a busy Friday or Saturday night you might have to wait a while!!... But that doesn't bother us, as the result is crispy, piping hot fish and great chips. By no means is it a 'cheap takeaway' anymore with 2 large cod and chips being about £18, but no fish and chips is cheap nowadays (unless you're partial to a battered sausage!)

pls save your money use to be ok bought fish chips within last 6 months pile of disgusting rubbish greasy fish black chips

Who needs the seaside when you have great fish and chips in the town. Lovely moist fish in a really light batter which kept really crisp thanks to the fabulous box. We were stuffed to burst, all for a really good price. Huge thumbs up!

Fab fish and chips, now they've got the boxes, it all stays crispy. The chicken nuggets are out of this world, these are not McDonalds but fresh,crispy and huge. If you want a change, choose these, you won't be disappointed. Staff are always friendly and the service is quick, apart from if you're waiting for freshly fried goodies, but then who minds the wait?

This was very busy on a Friday night, and served us a good solid serving of fish and chips. It was a bit more pricey than other fish and chips I've hadi n the UK, but ot be fair I am comparing to prices in the north of Engalnd, whcih I imagine are a bti cheaper than West Sussex. However, the reason I am writing the review it to comment on the excellent chicken nuggets. I ordered some for my 3 year old, expecting McDonald quality chicken and they seemed quite pricey,. However, when we received them, we found seasoned nuggets of real chicken breast that had been fried to perfection. It was a pleasant surprise to get these and they tasted great.

Good portion sizes, great fish and chips and friendly service. :-)

Ocean blue donated fish and chips for two at the Lodsworth village fete to be auctioned for funds for the event .The highest bid fell to me and I duly picked up the proceeds yesterday the 20th June .I was very pleased with the result of my bid .They were very good Thank you Ocean Blue.
