Ocean Fish Bar in Tendring

Bought fish and chips here on the way to Harwich port. Ate them while waiting to board the ferry. Really fresh and fabulous tasting cod which had big meaty flakes. Chips top notch too. Shame it’s a 250 mile round trip or I’d be there once a month.

Delicious original Fish and Chips. Very tasty, unfortunately no seats in this “chippen”. So we ate outside in the nearby park😄

This family run fish and chip shop serves the local community with a smile. Sam is always on hand and ready to serve. The food is always delicious and the fish bar is spotlessly clean. You can order in advance by calling ahead before collection. Delivery service is not available, but it is well worth the drive to experience this very good fish bar.

Lovely staff, fantastic fish and chips.

Polite staff and a perfect sized portion of cod and chips for one hungry person (small of each) ate every single bit, didn't mind the wait, was nice to see business doing well on a weekday night and was super fresh. Really lovely and super nice staff. 👍

Delicious little fishy in my dishy

Simple chip shop handy after coming off the ferry.

Best Fish and Chips in Harwich by some distance

Thought it a good idea to have food del.chips cold,Onion rings cold,mushroom cold.first time not happy with chippy as used many times before but last time.

This was my first visit to this takeaway in quite a long time. A very small chip shop basically. But the food is excellent this one visit has now blossomed into regular stops when the need arises. Parking is a problem as the establishment is situated very close to a junction and also on a very narrow road, but this is now my goto takeaway as the prices are reasonable and the food is not greasy and does not taste of the fat either.

Don't ask for Pineapple fritters 😉 but the food is the best in town.

Delicious. Fresh and delicious!

Pleasant friendly staff cooked to order excellent

my dog loves the sausages from here as I do the cod. perfectly cooked and very tasty. happy new year.

Beautiful bit of fish Fresh cooked lovely

Ordered pie and chips here last night and when I got home they was cold not very enjoyable at all so ended up in the bin after wasting £11.70 at a chip shop just round the corner......

Freshly cooked... Always very good quality

Food is always top notch, staff are so lovely and gave us a Christmas card last year

Best fish and chips in the area. Excellent service.

Called in here on a Bank Holiday Monday , looked busy so thought it would be good food. Cod and chips absolutely tasteless and greasy only managed a few chips. Dogs enjoyed the fish though.

A very unassuming place but believe me very worth the drive and small wait. The food was freshly made and was absolutely superb. Chips were perfectly cooked as was the pie and the fish. Not greasy and had great flavour. I would happily return and buy here again if I'm passing. Good job team.

Very good,best haddock and chips and delicious pukka pies. Very polite and friendly staff , fish was massive and very meaty, chips cooked Very well and good quality. Highly recommended place.

Super vriendelijk. Heel lekker.

Soggy chips with oily and bland battered fish. So much grease it soaked through the paper and a folded hand towel and still left residue on the table. Couldn’t finish it, only had 3 bites of fish and a dozen or so chips. The battered sausage was passable, but only just. Would probably be great after a night on the beers at the pub next door, but not when you’re sober. Service was great and the food was prepared quickly. Judging from the amount of good reviews they might have just had an off day.

Good fish and chips, friendly service.

Great fish n chips best we've had in this area thank Ocean xxx

Really delicious fish and chips. Very friendly service too.

Lovely staff, hardworking family 10-15 minute wait but it's worth it when everything is freshly made

Great food and portions for the price! :)

Had a pie. Pie was cooked and nice.

Had a small cod and chips, batter was light and crispy, cod was nice, chips were also good 👌

This is the best fish and chip shop me and my son have found we have tried all in harwich and this is by far the best very fresh fish and sausages are perfect and chips are not greasy yummy 👍

Wish i had found this place years ago best fish and chips we have had in years chunky fresh cod and chips were perfect not greasy like others we tried all fish and chip shops in harwich and this one is the best cant wait till next time 10/10

Great food.... and great service 😁👍

Proper fish and chips bar with outstanding food. Nice and friendly staff.

The best fish n chips in town. Good price. Cooked fresh when ordered. 10/10 👍

Always very good. Quality and really good portions, service excellent and always with a smile

Excellent food at very reasonable prices. Thank you very much!

Excellent chips. Good veggie burger and even gave all customers hand written christmas cards.

The food we got from there yesterday was really good and I would get something different next time

Fried to order so lovely and hot. Beautiful piece of fish. Definitely worth a go

Great service despite the late hour freshly cooked fish and chips and huge portions at very reasonable prices

Came off the ferry & fancied fish & chips. Decided to use Oceans. Friendly staff, quick service, fish & chips freshly cooked. Large portion but not excessive. Good batter over tasty fish. Nice chips. Very fresh tasting. Probably cooked in fresh oil. Highly recommended. Pray that these sole traders are helped with their energy bills & supported by the public or they'll be lost.

Very friendly service. The chips and battered sausage were very good. The cod was very nice although the batter a bit soggy they were generous sizes, even the small. The place looked clean. You have to wait which is fine I think when you are getting food made freshly. We were missing an item but didn't mind too much because the chips were so nice. Would use again.

I had pie and chip here Monday,I came back on Thursday to try the cod. The cod was cooked to order and the batter was crisp and the fish was cooked perfect I will use again when I'm back in the area.

Cracking fish and chips, on holiday and used these guys twice as food was best we have had in a long time. Will be back for more when we are in the erea.

Great fish and chips very fresh but you do wait a long time

Very expensive and tasted dreadful. Never again.

Some of the best chips we've ever had!

chips were very nice highly recommend

Hake ，I feel that the meat quality is between cod and rock eel, the fish taste is relatively fresh, and there is no fishy smell. Highly recommended！

The best fish and chips in Harwich

Succulent cod, crispy fried in fresh oil and served with a smile and perfect chips.

Always had good food from here.

Fresh fish and my wife loves Sam's sausage

Perfect, freshly cooked and excellent quality. Staff helpful and friendly. Would definitely use again when in this area.

Sam's Fish and chips are the best, freshly cooked and very good value, keep up the good work Sam

Lovely fish and chips very friendly staff Sam's very helpful 👌

Great fish and chips prompt and polite service highly recommend

Very long wait times waited 35 minutes for food and the saveloys were not even warm. Travelled further to get to this one due to the reviews but was nothing special.

Had to wait 10 mins for sausage. Would of been OK.... if I was told.

Fabulous fish and chips ate by the sea -delicious

Love this chip shop 1 of my favorite two!!

Excellent service. Great chippy.

On holiday to this area, and saw the reviews for this chip shop, 1st class food and friendly staff, can highly recommend.

Very nice and priced really well. Good portions and friendly service. Well done 👍🏻

Very good food. Pleasant staff. Covid secure.

Descent fish and y all cooked fresh

Nice food chips always cook perfectly

Food was alright but in the time of Covid I found it strange that there was not a contactless payment option, cash only. I guess this is why there were no other customers there, the only reason I can think of for only taking cash is to hide the money from the tax man.

My favourite fish & chip shop in Harwich, best to order over the phone then collect but if not it’s still worth waiting.

Very tasty, good price - but they forgot a fish! Would have been 5 stars otherwise.

Best fish and chips in town by far

Nice big, tasty portions. Can recommend the large haddock.

Best takeaway in harwich. Brilliant quality. Brilliant service. Never had a disappointment with these guys.. they are a stones throw away too. Have to say they have these vegetable spring rolls that are bloody amazing. There is only one place that I came across that had these and that was at my secondary school. 20 years I've been waiting and here they are. Love your food and service

Great food great staff never been disappointed....would recommend 👌

Excellent fish and chips & service. Batter on fish was crispy & fish cooked just right. Very friendly server. Cash only.
