Seahorse in Barking and Dagenham

This place I one of the gems! Thank You for everything : Your food - burgers, are Incredible /succulent 😎👍☝️ Great service, very clean (the workers cleans kitchen as they go 👌. Always 10 uot of 10❤️

Great chippy, quality food at a cheap price, friendly owners as well, been using this shop while working away will be back

What a lovely experience! Everything on the menu was delicious, the lovely people went out of their way to even batter us some sweet treats! The food and the customer service was all lovely! Delightful people, delicious food in a quaint traditional chippy with personality. 50 years strong for a reason, highly recommended! Thank you :)

My mum and I stumbled upon Seahorse Fish Bar one afternoon while visiting the NHS clinic nearby, and we’ve been obsessed ever since! That irresistible smell of freshly fried chips covered in salt and vinegar on a cold day drew us in from down the street. From the outside, the shop doesn’t look like much, but as soon as we stood in the queue and saw someone else’s cod and chips being wrapped up, we both looked at each other and knew it was going to be fantastic. And wow, it lived up to every expectation! This is about as traditional British fish and chips as you could hope for. The moment you take a bite, you can taste the care and quality that goes into its preparation. The cod was cooked fresh, hand-battered right in front of us, and came out with a perfectly crispy golden batter encasing hot, moist, and flaky fish. The chips were just as they should be: soft, fluffy, and with a light crunch. We took everything to the park around the corner to eat, and honestly, it was one of the best fish and chips I’ve had since I was a kid. These days, so many places cut corners, and it shows. Prices keep rising while quality keeps dropping. We’ve actually stopped going to most of the chippies near us because they just don’t measure up anymore, but Seahorse Fish Bar is a real find. The owner, Andy, is such a lovely guy, friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about his food. His wife, Carol, wasn't working that day, but one of the members of staff, Sue, was there and she is lovely as well. He mentioned they’ve been in business for decades, and I can see why. You can tell he genuinely cares about the quality of the food he’s serving. And the prices? Unbelievably reasonable. Especially since where I live, a regular cod can cost up to £12, and it’s not even close to being this good. We live quite far away, but we’re so hooked that we’re making it our regular spot and will gladly go out of our way to come here. Just a heads-up on the parking: the council has made it a bit of a nightmare on this street, which is really hurting local shops. Most roads are resident parking only, but we eventually found free parking a few streets away down a road called Haskard Road, just off of Parsloes Ave, about a 5-minute walk. It’s worth every step. Hope that helps people who are looking to drive here easier. I never leave reviews, but I felt Seahorse Fish Bar truly deserved one, so I made an account just for this. We've been here three times now after our clinic visits, and now that the clinic visits are over, we’ll still be coming back just for the food. If my words don’t convince you, just take a look at my photos! Andy and Carol, thank you for doing what you do! I hope more people find you because your fish and chips are absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!

It’s the best chip shop great staff been coming here for years all my family use this shop great value and very tasty food !!!

Fish and Chips day I ordered fish and chips the lady grabbed something looking like sausage in batter by hand from hot cabinet and put on my chips.I said you can not touch the food and she said its normal.Just left the shop.

Only reason I’ve given 4 star is because it reserve 5 star for the exceptional and this place makes exceptional food - but only 4-5 times. Sometimes it’s very oily and seems a few hours old. But 4 out of 5 times it is simply the best fish and chips shop in Barking and Dagenham. I get fish and chips from this store and then one from East Ham without knowing that the one in East Ham was also owned by them and they obviously have the same recipe still. Highly recommend this place.

I get my fish and chips there most weeks, and have done for years; the best around! Very nice fish and chip and real pork sausages in batter!

Literally the best chip shop in Dagenham!

Very lovely and kind people! Food is always up to standards

I only ever buy from here am never disappointed with the quality of their food. Lots of choice and is lovely and fresh. Staff are always lovely and up for a chat.

Best chips in London. If you prove I'm lying, I will eat a binman's hat 😂 Their prices didn't go up after the pandemic which is appreciated. I only wish they opened all day.

The Seahorse is a good well established fish and chip shop that provides a great level of customer service as well as fresh tasty food.

Never been in the place so how do I know how good they are

Me and my daughter order from here all the time. The food is delicious. The staff are welcoming and friendly. And as we're regular customers the owner likes to give our dog 1 or 2 treats at closing time. Such a kind man.

It is a very nice, calm and fantastic college no disobedience, no discrimination, no bullying all the teachers and staff are kind and straight forward. Every one minds their own business and focuses on their own work. Yh I love the college its sweet and nice.

Food always nice, friendly staff, reasonable prices too.

Freshly cooked fish + chips which is good, other food cooked chicken wings/nuggets, hot dogs. Wrapped nicely to takeaway. Friendly polite staff. Fish bar kept clean,adheres to. COVID-19 rules. Would recommend.

Lovely traditional English fish and chips

I love the fish and chips and they are great people who work there ...

Best Chippie about always fresh and always tastes amazing 😘😘☺️

Visited after seeing good reviews on here, not disappointed, excellent food and a really friendly owner as well, great stuff.

Firstly there are 2 tripadvisor reviews of the seahorse the first gave 1* obviously they are use to chip shops that sell kebabs. The second gave 4.5* this is where my vote goes. I have recommend other people to this shop and they go back...

A good old fashion fish and chip shop..you don't find them like this any more..much better than other local chip shops...

Small portions of Fish price £4:80 Average taste and quality Owner seems nice Could do a lot better Presentation was poor Service was good Not the worst in the area

Decent fish and chips. Chips has the right amount of crunchiness but still fluffy and COD was good too.

Food is good, fish is always nice, the chips are nice but they are very tight on the portion size and not cheap, they used to give a slice lemon with the fish and chips and a tartar sauce which made this place special but...

Always top notch fish and chips here People are friendly and prices are good

What a great place for fish and chips, just how they used to be without the newspaper.... Freshly cooked fish with crispy coating and a flaky flesh. Cooked to perfection, with no excess grease. Chips were hot and tasty, not greasy, a well portioned size. This place had been here 50+ years which goes to show how good it is. Highly recommended with very competitive prices....

Good but not that much chips with the delicious snack box

Lovely fish and excellent customer service

Great fish and chip shop always tasty and fresh, they have lots on the menu so no one could ever be dissapointed, the staff are lovely and friendly.

An ok fish and chips definitely not the worst I've had.

such friendly people always sociable and food is so fresh never not enjoyed a thing from there and there burgers r the best ive ever had, love the fish too as i say i havent got a bad word, use with confidence

Food is great there it's my regular chippy and staff are very friendly

Always good food. Fresh chips and a good price.

Great food, great service, would recommend this place.

Our new favourite chippy - just down the road, tastes delish and is literally cheap as chips! Wish they had different portion sizes but proper chuffed with Seahorse. My partner is always the one who ventures there for us and always comments on how nice...

Not the best but only remember from a child....👍

Always fresh.a little over priced. Sausages in better are lovely. Chips tend to be crispy not fluffy. But decent enough for a chippy.

Always friendly and quick service

Chips shop is decent ashame about the staff a customer came in and simply asked a question and how rude the lady was behind the counter when the customer left is unbelievable maybe some training in customer care should be on the cards.

Lovely fish and chips. Luckily my local. Can improve.. Would be nicer if they had a better shop front and did large and normal chips rather than the one portion they only do. Plus it would be more pleasant if the fried fishs were not placed on the fryer lid. It's not a hygiene issue but just not a pleasant site. A basket would be better. And like many independent businesses, customer service can be heavily improved. The people are lovely but would do their business a massive favour by this one fact that well established businesses know and heavily invest on as it brings in customers and their willing to spend regularly with loyalty.

Absolutely awful no choice on chip sizes and always cold. Staff rude and the food is absolutely tasteless maybe could do with a change of oil.

Family run chip shop and always good food

Great fresh fish not greasy but it's the peri peri chip glaze/powder that's out of this world !!!

Dreadful staff; the old bat that served me did not ask if I wanted salt and vinegar and did not put it on. Regardless the chips were awful and went straight in the bin.

Best fish and chip shop in Dagenham!

This is the best chip shop you will find in Barking and Dagenham perfect service always with a smile

Extremely cheap does a nice bacon buttie for £1
