Saltwater Fish Restaurant & Takeaway in Torbay

Food excellent, needs faster service but besides that I can’t complain. Food certainly made up for it.

Small Cod and Chips with a Chip Shop Curry Sauce for me. Chargrilled Monkfish and Chips for the other half. Best fish and chips I have had for a very long time. Good value, lovely atmosphere, lovely staff. Great wine and beer. Good tunes apart from the Coldplay one 😂

Delicious, crispy battered fish and well cooked chips fried to perfection

Lovely plenty of chips in a box, £3.95, not greasy just right.

Fish was good but we didn't like the chips

I was down on holiday for Easter and was recommended this fish and chip shop from someone at my hotel when I got there I thought I would try something different than standard fish and chips so tried the chargrill mackerel which was amazing will definitely be coming again when I’m next down

Absolutely outstanding fresh fish, my partner had sea bass and I went for the chargrilled monkfish, both were amazing, will definitely be back.

Lovely service and friendly staff it's fish and chips don't right. Clean restaurant, helpful staff, 10/10 food. We traveled up to stay in Newton abbot and traveled down to Torquay for a evening dinner. Torquay was alive as it was the holiday weekend but this didn't affect the times or service. It was the first on Google I seen that had a high number of reviews and the place excelled on food staff and atmosphere. Would I recommend of course without a doubt. Will I go again absolutely.

Came to this lovely little sea food restaurant the other day. Fantastic experience for me and my friends, couldn’t get better. Service and food was excellent, ensuring we were satisfied and living up to their renowned “unlimited chips” system! Couldn’t recommend enough we will definitely be returning!!!

This is a wonderful little place to eat a tasty fish and chips. There is so much choice of fish. I had prime cod in breadcrumbs. (There is also a chouce of batter or breadcrumbs as well as fishcakes) It was a good sized piece of fish and so beautifully cooked. The staff work really hard ensuring high quality service. I would recommend anyone wanting fish and chips visit this amazing place.

We love coming here! The food always tastes amazing. Friendly team & the music choices 👌 Our favourite chippy, we regularly visit throughout the year.

Nice, clean. Very friendly staff, quick service. Nice portions and the fish, the fish is second to none, its the best cod I've had in years.

This is our favourite fish & chip shop. The fish is superb and you get unlimited chips. They also do a choice of locally caught fish, daily, cooked how you want it together with the usual extras such as mushy peas, gravy, beans and bread & butter. It is also a takeaway! Cannot recommend highly enough, you have to give it a go if in Torquay

Gorgeous food. Fish battered to perfection - no soggy bottoms here - just a crispy mouthwatering gastronomic experience! Thick white beautiful fish inside. Chips are just as good. Highly recommended.

Amazing! The portions are perfectly measured out, the atmosphere is absolutely perfect, and the food, oh the food is excellent 👌.

Good quality fish and chips, nice sized chip portion. Our fish was a little small to what we usually get but was enough.

Great fish and chips, cooked from fresh. Would definitely recommend!

We enjoyed delicious fish and chips here today - perfect! Highly recommended- we always visit here when we are in Torquay.

I have to review because THIS - simply incredible. I’ve tried my fair share, as anyone will have in the UK. But this tops the lot. Not from here but when im next here on work… I know where im going for food. Bosh!

Best Haddock and (Unlimited) Chips I have had in many years.

I asked for my fish to be cooked in rice flour only as I don’t like batter and was told that’s not an option (I told the waiter I would take the risk as batter doesn’t suit me but was still told no) service wasn’t great, fish breaded coating was over cooked and the chips were greasy and not a great dinner for +£20, curry sauce was tasty and the actual fish was nice and fresh! Can back to hotel sticking of grease as kitchen is open. Shame as could be really nice but didn’t have a good experience and was very expensive for what I got.

Went in for a quick dinner, service friendly and efficient, food great, left my phone on the table and headed back to the hotel and the staff caught up with us to hand it back, thank you!! Brilliant extra mile example

Fish was perfectly cooked, and I think the chips may have been bottomless, but we were only asked if we wanted more chips at the end of the meal, so we declined. I'm undecided as to whether just under £20 represents good value for money for a plate of fish and chips tbh, but the quality and service were good so I have no complaints

What a fantastic fish restaurant! The fish goujons to start were as light as a feather and so tasty. The monkfish for mains was fabulous. And great service. Also welcoming of us bringing our dog with us.

The chips weren’t fresh or hot ,and hardly any fish in the batter,for £58 I’m very disappointed and won’t be ordering again

Excellent food freshly prepared

soggy batter due to being packaged way too early.

Disappointed with fish and chips

best fish chips I have tasted in a while

Ross looked after us Lovely fish and chips and worth every penny

Absolutely the best Fish & Chips.

Some of the best haddock and chips we've ever had. Cooked to perfection with a really good taste and texture. Staff attentive, informative and nice to talk to.

I've eaten in many Fish & Chip shops through the UK and around the world. I can say with hand on heart that the Cod & Chip dinner I've recently had was possibly the best. The Batter was crisp, the cod moist and steaming when cut open, the flavours were fresh and clean, the cod firm to the bite. Just perfect. Chips were real and cooked in good fresh oil, the result being crispy chips on the outside and moist inside. Seriously, do check out this establishment - you won't be disappointed.

when called the shop over an hour after ordering they said it had left over half hour before hand. it turned up freezing cold and was a complete waste of money. would never order from them again.

Very good burger, swift delivery, thanks

Great food, perfect delivery, thanks

Beautiful food, amazing fish and chips, first time on the south coast. My pal had a burger he said was spot on. My only issue was the price regular take away was £10.?? But large to sit in was £20.??. I felt guilty for not being able to tip because I spent over my budget. That was my only issue.

The smell was burned of the fish ..

soggy batter, cold and expensive

Great food , would recommend to you if you like fish and chips

Casual dining with very good fish and chips. Fish portion slightly smaller to what we're used to but unlimited chips available. Very busy to probably a good idea to book.

£5.95 for 6 x fish pieces smaller than nuggets is appalling. Batter stuck to box so even worse. Not impressed

The best fish & chips we’ve had in a long time. We had the scallops for starters - so fresh and juicy. Husband had a large cod with mushy peas and I had whole tail scampi with chip shop curry sauce. Both come with unlimited homemade chips. Absolutely delicious, can well recommend if you’re in Torquay (it’s right near the clock tower in the Marina)

Our family walked the Bay of Lights trail as a Christmas get together, and finished off with a visit to Saltwater Fish Restaurant. The lights were brilliant, and so was the meal! Staff were lovely; the atmosphere was relaxing, and the food was just outstanding. There is such a choice of ways you can have your fish choice cooked, be it batter, breadcrumbs, grilled etc, and portions were excellent, with unlimited chips too! Very impressed with our first visit, and we will certainly be back. Thank you from the Lewis family, the Millers, and the Saunders'.

food was cold and wet and soggy 😔

The cooking was faultless, but the quality of the fishcake was not good. Should have been called a potato cake.

Sorry Saltwater team, did not enjoy my dinner. It was not your usual standard at all. Overcooked and dry. Fish stuck to box under the chips. Delivery lad was quick, got a bit lost but luckily I found him in the road.

Not bad fish and chips, but the fumes and cooking fat smells awful

Great food and service. We will be back

Only chip shop that doesn’t do pies ! Fish cakes £4.95, basically mash potatoes. Absolutely disgusting

The restaurant had our order ready but it took 2 hours from placing the order to delivery. Very happy with the food, very unhappy with the delivery time.

Having heard that this restaurant is one of the best fish and chip restaurants in the U.K., we just had to try it. Centrally located across the road from the marina, we were not disappointed. Definite must to experience.

10/10 excellent Delivery had problems (unable to follow directions) but restaurants should not be penalised by combined average ratings for something outside their control

fish was over cooked and burnt

Food wash overcooked, normally high quality but tonight was very disappointing

Good portions, me and my partner shared a large cod and chips which was plenty considering you get unlimited chips. The mushy peas were 10/10, proper chip shop mushy peas. The chips were very tasty, shame I was too full for extra. The fish quality was good but the batter was a bit too thick and greasy. Service was good.

Went in for lunch with my wife. We both had the sea dog lunch. ( I may have got the name wrong) but it was fish and chips with mushy peas and a drink. We couldn't fault it. The chips were lovely and the fish was probably the nicest we've had. Lovely white fish and light crispy batter. If you eat in you can have unlimited chips but to be honest we were quite full with what we had. Lovely meal.

Amazing gluten free fish and chips, highly recommend!

Great food. Great service. We had the veggie sausages and unlimited chips. It is a little pricey, but cheaper than other restaurants. Would definitely go again.

Excellent delivery, but unfortunately the food itself was underwhelming - not hot, chips seemed to be dregs that had been hanging around for some time and similarly, the fish felt like it had been sat for quite a while rather than cooked to order. A shame, as my previous experience of Saltwater was excellent.

Fri 18/10/24 Order : Excellent

The chips were okay, but the fish was a burnt orange batter in colour and was that cooked the actual fish was crispy and chewy. Not to mention the food was pretty much cold when it arrived.

Best fish and chips I’ve had for a while. Don’t normally eat the batter, but it was so light and crispy. Lovely music playing too!

Ordered the meal just after 6pm - it did not arrive until 8.30 pm ! The tartare sauce was warm and ruined. It was my birthday! When it became clear it would arrive so late, we should have been given the chance to complain/cancel as Domino's do.

waited over 2 hours and 30 mins for my order to then get attitude off the delivery driver and then for the food to be cold not happy at all

First time using this place, food was good but barely luke warm, if hot it would have been a great instead of good

Lovely fish, best chips in Torquay

Only 1 star as lowest i can give. Never arrived.... no idea how good or bad it was.... no contact....no refund

Perfect fish, Perfect chips 10/10 All cooked with care and attention. (Assume a shortage of drivers as delivery took 1.5hrs but was worth the wait, and did not get lost !)

Fish was greasy and really disappointed considering it was ranked an award in 2022 it was terrible won’t be going back the again. It was a shame because the review looked good but it was tasteless and the chips tasted like they been sat there a while and not freshly cooked.

5/10/24 at 8pm, One member of staff was very rude, asked to put salt and vinegar on my chips only to be told to do it myself and then proceeded to throw a bag at me and told to pack it myself, it’s not my fault your serving fish N chips on a Saturday night but the food was excellent

Great food- not your usual stodgy fish and chips- freshly cooked and other tasty, locally caught options instead of just battered fish. Also great chips and great service. Loved it.

It was a good place to go in Torquay to get something to eat and right on the sea front to which was great.

Bad service and bad food don’t try

Horrible experience I would not advise any woman or vulnerable people to go here on their own !

Cold dry hard and horrible chips

Can we please stop putting the drinks in with the hot food it means we can’t have our drinks with our food, otherwise great food, great service!

Very clean, very friendly staff, Foods far exceeded high standards. And I really enjoyed it and very chill relaxing evening will deff come back again ..

Best quality, cooked with care, impressed 10/10 Current choice of potatoes make perfect chips !

Great fish and chips. Definitely recommend

Terrible, small portion of fish greasy, Chips tasted like they were frozen oven Chips, Very overpriced takeway

When the bill was almost £50 for two small meals and one large I expected a banquet but thr small fish was the size of a sprat . Don't think I'll be back

This is a place we always visit when in torquay. Lovely food served by friendly staff.

Superb fish, great variety and nice wine 👍 really good 😊

Litrally the best chip shop I’ve ever tried in my life no joke I’m gonna miss it when I go home , staff were very nice in there aswell!

One of the best we had on our trip to Torquay during the last week of August , had multiple takeaways every other day and it was always top quality .Fish and chips ,salt and pepper squid ,prawns and sausages all extremely fresh , crisp and delicious each time .Would definitely recommend .

Delicious chunky batter cod ! Excellent quality ! Stylish design and friendly staff in the town centre .Worth a visit !!

Lovely friendly but professional staff my husband and I had prime cod and chips with a lemon wedge bread and butter I had tartare sauce hubby had mushy peas the meal was cooked to perfection the fish was moist in a light crispy batter with piping hot chips all freshly cooked to order we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will return when in the area highly recommend you will not be disappointed

The fish was very tough and the batter dry, it tasted like it had been refried. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Called in after a day trip to Dartmouth on the Dart Explorer and it was the wonderful smell of fish and chips that drew me in. Was welcomed by a young man who let me choose a table and brought me the menus. So much variety of freshly caught fish and I ordered a small battered Cod and Chips with Mushy Peas. A double gin of Salcombe Dry Gin was also needed. My drink arrived promptly and not long after my food arrived. It looked very appetising and I tucked in straight away. The batter on the fish was light and crispy, and the Cod was flakey and beautiful. I really enjoyed the food, it’s a lovely restaurant with good staff. Highly recommend.

Really super staff and still open for a snacky late dinner at 8pm by the sea - the only chippy tea I could find! Top recommendation. The best chips I’ve had.

Nice little fish and chip restaurant. Decent price. Clean and tidy. Good service.

Great food, great and fast service. They offer unlimited chips which is great! The fish is great and so fresh! definitely recommend!

Best fish and chips I've had to date, super flaky fish, crispy buttery batter and perfectly crispy chips. Staff here are so welcoming and friendly, service was top notch. Atmosphere is perfect, very calm, classic music playing that puts you in a great mood. 5 stars since that's the most I could give. If I could give more I would!

Quite honestly the best fish and chips I've had in my life. Crispy batter, none of that mushy stuff. Light but filling fish, not greasy, and absolutely delicious. Unlimited chips with everything is certainly a bonus I cashed in on. If you're about, do yourself a favour and come here.

Excellent as usual, swift delivery

the food was cold,i threw it away

The best fish and chips I've ever had! I keep coming back here for more. Highly recommended! 👍👍👍😋😋😋

Quality, cooking, packaging 10/10. Delivery efficient, straight to my door .. such a relief when they are able to understand simple directions, means no running up/down the road.

Excellent fish and chips - chose the traditional cod fish option although they had haddock and other catch of the day options. Fish was very fresh, batter excellent and fries tasty - enjoyed every last bite.
