Osca's Fish & Chips in Arun

Ordered cod and chips which used to be really good unfortunately this time was awful, the fish was over cooked and like rubber, the chips were not fresh as if they were recooked from lunch. the cost has doubled from a couple of years ago but the quality has gone right down, we will not be going there again.

Fabulous cod and chips all freshly cooked

Poor hygiene. Didn't wash hands thoroughly with soap after touching raw fish. Then went and touched all the cooking appliances and picked something out of the chips. Couldn't eat food as we started to feel nauseous. Avoid here if you don't want to risk food poisoning!!!!!!!!!

Great thick bit of cod the chips were a bit bitty n small but still nice

Great tasty F&C - best in LA I think!

I really enjoyed my lovely Fish and Chips at Osca's while away on holiday in Littlehampton, yummy.

The best kids cod fish and chips by far , proper fish , excellent portion size . Wouldn't go anywhere else We have had mutpile visits with my boys . Only slight negative table service seems a bit flat and serious , Just needs to be a bit warmer and friendley a bit more welcoming , seems to be no interaction Just take down the order and that's it

A great place for fish and chips by the sea 🌊

Eaten in here a few times, always fresh and great service.

Stopped off today for lunch, cod and fish, and a sausage and chips. Order inside (it looks like covid times with screens up). There is a small seating area which was full. We ordered takeaway, got a number, and asked to wait outside. Food arrived quickly and piping hot. Very tasty, shame they charge for ketchup, but everywhere does tbh. Chips were pukka, batter light, and fluffy and freshly cooked fish! Highly recommend!

We ask fish and chips twice the chips were old and cold the fish was old as well. So we ask for freshly cook fish and chips when we got home about 5 minutes later unwrap the fish and chips guess what it was the same as the first lot so it straight in the bin.the beast place is a few doors down it's called Freds all ways a queue but worth the wait.

Freshly cooked fish and chips and both crispy. Great place to eat and one of the few places still open mid September.

It is very near the harbour and beach. The quality of food is excellent and portions are generous. The service is rapid. The condiments are good

Lovely food but if you are having the sausage in batter go for the jumbo as the standard is very small though very generous portion of chips 🍟. Our waitress could have done with some etiquette lessons and had more than a touch of the Vicki pollard about her .

Could do with getting rid of the plastic bags and tell people where they're tasty fish is from

Totally superb fish and chips.. we come down from Horsham for it ...

Very good chip shop, not far from where we were staying near goodwood. The fish and chips was spot on, very well priced and good portions. Lovely view outside, and easy to park just around the corner.

Very good fish and chips Very fast service. Freshly cooked.

At 6:30 in the evening, I had to wait outside for my order on the street because they said they were closing. Others were eating inside. closing time is 9:00 p.m. cheeky.

Lovely food at great prices. Fish and chips are fantastic 😋

Not too long a wait as was very busy. Disappointing chips 🍟 rancid too strong a word but disappointing all the same and lacking any taste of salt or vinegar (asked for). Cod, chicken burger, saveloys and gherkins were OK.

Great fish and chips. I can recommend this place.

Ate in, staff were disorganised and rude, food was ok, but not the best locally!

The fish and chips were very tasty even if a little on the expensive side. The shop was very popular but unfortunately did not have enough staff. Consequently there was a long queue and a long wait.

Chips are very dry like they been reheated £4.50 for large chips not worth the fee also 50p for slice bread lol 😆 just do roll 🤣 since when did they sell slice bread in chip shop unfortunately quality here not great but hey everyone got different opinions

What a lovely fish and chip shop. Great fish and scampi, with really crispy batter.

Much needed after a long day, great food, beautiful location

Best fish and chips in littlehampton

Didn't have a clue about nut allergies. Just told us no one knows what is in the oil. They didn't seem to care at all.

The best fish and chips I have had, really highly recommended

Excellent food and great service. Fish was lovely and fresh with a light batter. Veggie burger was tasty. Restaurant was full despite the rain outside. Recommended.

Really delicious, lovely batter on the fish, served fresh. Perfection.

Chips just the way I like them. Fish was beautiful

Decent food, friendly staff, very convenient for the seafront. Very busy

Food is VERY VERY hot, caused very severe mouth burns today, I would not recommend if you want skin peeling off your mouth palate.

£3.50 for the chips (regular size apparently) plus £2.70 for the sausage, absolute rip off every time what’s the point in asking what size chips we want to order if whatever size we choose is the equilvent to a child’s meal. This is an adults size meal paid over £6 for it and left hungry!!! Absolute joke portion sizes, every other chippy in littlehampton is miles better and less stingy

Great prices and good traditional food. Can be a little greasy, but that’s you need sometimes. Updated 2024: Still good prices, but much higher than before, then again prices are higher everywhere. Fast service, good size portions and very fresh tasting chips and fish.

Waited in queue for 40mins only to be told no fish left, unbelievable waste of time

Medium chips £3.50 children size also wrong type of potatoes to make proper chips .. tuff and not tasty.. goes to rubbish bin.

Very nice fish and chip takeaway with some tables if you want to eat in. Good quality fish with nice batter. Nice that there's three sizes of chips if you're not feeling too hungry. Chicken, burgers, scampi, sausage etc. also offered. Kids options also available.

Very fresh Fish and very tasty, would definitely recommend eating here. Service was very efficient and friendly

Delicious fish and chips, massive size portion and well priced. Right by the wharf side. Let down by the interior and atmosphere but the food was great so I’d get it again.

Have used this place in the past and its still as popular today judging by the queues.

Scabby chips and battered sausage was was so stale and the batter was all soft like it had been left ages in the cabinet.. Fred's chips shop for me next time

big portion fish regular and chips medium, recommend

Really nice fish and chips, good size portions and friendly staff

Love this place and always buy from here when we are in the area. Only problem is that I always over-order on chips!!

Great food. Carpooling an issue is u have to walk. However with a disabled badge u can park outside. Food hot and very gd quality x

Good, fresh food at a reasonable price. Service ok. The downside is quite a long waiting time for the dish.

Very bland food sorry staff lovely.

Very friendly staff... Good size portions... A place to visit more often for sure

Delicious food, good service and fair cost.

Fish was to oil staff are rood and forget to complete orders

Really lovley fresh fish cooked when ordered lovley staff enjoyed it

Made a detour to try it and eat our fish and chips near the sea. Glad we did it was really nice.

Inexpensive food. Good fish, but I don’t understand how you can make Chips so tasteless...

Recommended by local as we did a walkabout

Fish was beautiful chips on the other hand not so good coming from Littlehampton I expected better don't like white chips as I call them bit of brown don't hurt you or the chips

Great cod and chips, by the seaside. Large portions. Nice area to sit watching boats on the river

We've been using Oscars for the past 14 years. Today we have been so disappointed. The chips had obviously been reheated and were inedible, the fish was dry and unpalatable. Also the staff were rude to my son and his wife which is unacceptable. Sorry Oscars but it'll be a while before we use you again.

Wonderful fish and chips, both haddock and cod were cooked beautifully. Large portions and not overly expensive. Highly recommended.

Beautiful fish perfectly cooked

Very nice cod/chips and huss/chips.

Must of been a bad day. Fish tasted of oil the chips where soggy and burnt and looked like both where reheated from lunchtine. Wasted food and not worth the £22.

Great food and great service, a very pleasant experience.

Delicious food, clean premises, reasonably priced and absolutely amazing table service. Will definitely return. Only free parking can be tricky due location, but near by park & display with ample space is available (£2.20/hour). Visited Sunday 21.4.2024, 4PM.

Been here a few times now, simple reason is its excellent food and good size portions. Very very good value for money and excellent quality, and the staff are very friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Littlehampton!!

Been going to Oscars for years when in the are and always had lovely food. Has take out last night (Huss) got it home, was absolutely horrible, the fish was brown and dry, the chips not great either. Live too far to take back. Such a shame.

Fantastic Haddock and chips all freshly cooked

They only had medium cod left when I went and it wasn't very large and I am unsure how fresh it was. Normally it is better than today.

Amazing Fish (Haddock) and Chips, so good we went back twice more while on holiday in the area

Good fish and chip shop with a few tables to eat in. The fish is tasty and reasonably priced. You can also eat outside in front of the sea. Sauces are now 30 p each.

Underrated! Curry sauce was great & the chicken burgers 👌🏼

Discussing, I entered the shop with my dog, they took my order and took payment for it and then said that dogs not allowed!!! So I had to wait for my food outside in the wind because I had my dog with me. Also, there is no signs to say so, otherwise I wouldn't spend my money in greedy place like this!!! Shame on you and disgusting behaviour!!!!

Great fresh food very pleasant and attentive service

Absolutely amazing fish and chips.

A really good value place to eat and always cooked well.

Best fish and chip shop in Little Hampton Sussex

Fabulous lunch today, Piping hot food, served by happy Staff. An absolute tonic on a very cold 🥶 day, Thank You.

Warm and friendly welcome from staff, food is excellent and very enjoyable, Haddock and chips and beans, is superb and perfectly cooked, I love eating at Osca's . Will definitely go again soon 👍

Sit in or take away fish and chips. Most popular in Littlehampton. Good quality and portions.

Stumbled across Oscar's fish & chips restaurant in Littlehampton after a long walk from Worthing and had a superb large Cod & chips. Friendly service in a nice traditional restaurant and great food !

Always excellent fish and chips. Friendly and helpful staff. Osca's is a highlight for us

As a local best fish and chips. Staff are friendly.

Good food. Bit cramped. Happy staff.

They might be ok for fish and chips but there was chicken pie on the menu. As I love pie I ordered it. Unfortunately they microwaved it and the pastry was soft and beige.

Soggy unsalted chips & rude staff. We got our takeaways and the fish and chips which had no salt or vinegar on them - even though we had asked for this. We tried to put salt and vinegar on and were rudely told by a staff member not to.

Classic coastal fish and chips. Nothing wild but reliable and tasty.

Good value fish and chips and wonderful service.

We visited Osca's, intentionally as a takeaway but was pleasantly surprised when they allowed us to convert our takeaway into an eat-in with no additional costs; it had started heavily raining and that and chips don't mix! We found the portions and prices of Osca's chips to be very generous, although they lacked the crispness that I'm accustomed to with sea-side chips. Their large sausage (at the time of writing) is £2.30, £2.50 for a battered one, which was more than sufficient enough for one portion. The waiting time was around 10 minutes, but that was due to their "cook fresh" approach, which is ideal for anyone that wants to have a posh dish without breaking their bank in the process AND not having something that's as old as the day itself. We will be remembering Osca's as our fish and chips shop of choice, and will surely be visiting again in the near future. Ketchup is 30p for a Heinz squeeze sachet.

Lovely fish and chips here and at a very reasonable price too always go here !

We have been going to Oscas for over 30 years so I think that writing a positive review is what I am obviously going to do. We have eaten there in the height of baking summers with the sun streaming through the windows , when it's been pouring down with rain too. A few of the staff may have changed and the menu too but the quality has never changed. Excellent food , cooked freshly served on a plate bread and butter the whole works . Last night we had a take away , in the summer we had take away and sat round by boating lake to eat it. I've been to social events with 50 or more people and they catered for us then . Nothing is too hard for them. The menu is extensive alternatives of Chicken , pies , sausages , roe and burgers also available . When you sit down you get the hustle of the shop in the background but it's part of the experience. Enjoy it, and even better you can have Pineapple fritters ad ice cream for afters only if you eat all your dinner though ! I really recommend it, we drove 10 miles last night for it and in the past we drove from Haywards Heath to meet there. Always a friendly face greets you , but its busy so book if you can otherwise you will be disappointed , summer time I mean.

We go to oscas every week and the food is always cooked fresh,great portions and the staff are always fantastic. A real gem at the seafront.

The best fish and chips in the area.

A nice, clean restaurant with plenty of indoor seating and friendly service. The dishes are visibly freshly prepared and taste very good. A typical waterfront restaurant that also offers takeaway. We enjoyed stopping there. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right here.

Excellent portion and cooked fresh while we waited. Nice staff who took our order. Definitely worth a visit.

The worst fish and chips that I've ever had! Fish was tasteless and dry, chips were Soggy. How they managed to get reviews beyond 1star is puzzling!

Came to this place tonight waited 45 minutes for my food, a take away when I asked how long how much longer is gonna be the lady replied everybody is waiting you’re not the only one I didn’t mind it was a beautiful afternoon, and I thought it would be a cook fresh if you want fresh fish and chips, avoid this place at all cost I have never had worse fish & chips and that is to put it lightly there was no taste to any of it left a bad taste in my mouth I would never use this place again just upset my afternoon food got put in the bin

Great food excellent location great staff

The chips was decent but the wait time was horrendous. ~50 minutes for 2 portions of chips. (in the restaurants defense it was a bank holiday weekend and beautiful weather, but for such a simple order, it just seemed too long)
