Skinners Fish and Chips in Tendring

Fantastic fish and chips - we ordered and paid online (easy and completely hassle-free) and we arrived a few minutes early and our order was made up there and then. The fish is really fresh and it has been cooked in fresh, clean oil, which allows you to taste all the flavour of the fish. And the chips are great, too!

Amazing food every time , great customer service , was served by summer and the team and they couldn't be more helpful , best chip shop 👏👏👏

Best fish and chip shop in Clacton . Service is friendly ,really nice people .tried all fish and chip shops in Clacton and this is far the best

Always delicious food. Been coming here for many years, its always fresh and tasty. Does get busy but worth the wait

We ordered fish and chips and enjoyed an excellent meal. The large cod was enormous, and the fish fresh and very tasty. The batter was light and enjoyable. The portion of fish in the cod bite was good, and excellent value. Will definitely eat there next time we’re in Clacton!

Honestly the best cod and chips I’ve ever had - the flavour was unreal! And really lovely, friendly staff too - doesn’t get any better than Skinners 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ordered budget fish and chips Bacon burger and chips . Have been regular when we can afford as treat . Booked for pick up 7.15 to 7.30 got there 7.12 pm Got comment from staff member we thought you forgotten. Got home which is less than 5 mins away, chips dry and looked recooked as dark brown and some burnt not able to eat them Fish batter soggy and fish also dry . Husband said burger was lovely though Sorry but £13.90 down drain will go elsewhere from now on for while . Sorry guys last we had new years eve was lovely.

Ordered large chips, cod and battered sausage and was greeted by the same welcoming staff happy to serve. The young fella with a beard and black hair has always provided the best customer service I have experienced in any food industry. Top quality food fast and reasonably priced. Wouldn't go anywhere else for any fast food needs!

Sorry but had light bite meal and savloy and chips . Neither of us could really eat the chips as they were hard and Luke warm tasted like been re cooked My fish also looked and tasted like been re cooked . This was a treat after very hard time lately and after long week of nights Sorry but won't be returning

Well the title says it all. The fish is massive and fluffy with really tasty batter and the chips are proper chips just the way I like them. The ones that you bite into and are full of taste. Can’t be wrong by the amount of people being served in front of me. Very busy place got good parking around the area and the staff are always friendly. Top place.

ordered online, fish and chips, and as i am intolerant to fish scampi for me, the fish my hubby said was ok, chips not so good, lots of flat bits, and not freshly fried, my scampi had no taste, and was mushy and could not find a whole piece of scampi inside, so will not be having that again.

Visited Skinners whilst staying in the Clacton area and ordered large cod and chips and was not disappointed. Very generous portions, delicious melt in the mouth fish and lovely proper fish shop chips, which were nice and golden and fluffy inside. Staff and service very friendly, reasonable prices and will definitely visit again when in the area.

Best fish chip by far and not to far to go to if staying near shop portions are huge and very tasty and will Certainly be going there again to have fish and chips if I’m in the neighbourhood

Love this takeaway proper fish and chips and all the trimmings regularly once a week treat can’t wait for my son to try when he visits from america in July

First time we have used this Fish Shop absolutely the best Fish we have ever tasted will certainly be visiting again. This was 8thFeb 2022

I ordered takeaway sausage in batter with chips it was stone cold and the chips dreadful. Will not be going there again contacted the shop and the manager very rude.do not go there.

We were their this summer and had a lovely meal. Nice service too. The fish was very fresh . We had plaice, as is always cooked to order.

We visited Skinner’s on a Saturday night in October to get a family take away. Each of us had something different (Cod, Haddock, Rock, Battered Sausage) and all of us were in agreement that this was one of the best Fish & Chips that we...

This is by far the best place to get fish and chips in Clacton. The batter on the fish is excellent and so fresh. You know you have found a gem when they are always busy. So don’t just take my word for it see...

My go to fish & chips shop in Clacton! Excellent quality fish, always fresh, generous portions and great service! What's not to like? Definitely recommended if you are in the area

are regular visitors to this shop for over 20 years. great value for money. ample portions. excellent quality. highly recommended

From the reviews we were looking forward to our lightly battered fish with chips. We were on hols and made a special journey across the resort to visit Skinners. However the fish was not lightly battered but worse still it was overcooked, too flaky and...

Lovely fish and chips. Generous portion sizes that were well cooked and thoroughly enjoyed by our group. We were advised our order would take 20 mins to sort which was fine but it was an extra 10 mins or so once we came to collect....

Grabbed our family, and our friends family food to meet up on the beach for a late evening meal. Not only did they get the order wrong, they put vinegar on when we requested no vinegar. They chips were absolutely disgusting and the fish rock...

Recently ordered from here via phone (4.45pm), was given a time of 5.45pm to collect order. Arrived about 5 mins beforehand, and not only was it a “free for all”- no social distancing being encouraged, the order wasnt even started, was asked for an order...

We were on holiday and have been before. Great service and great food. Had scampi and my husband had haddock both were good and the chips.

Just purchased large cod and chips tonight. Prices had rocked and portions a lot smaller then my last vist .What with running with grease and a large amount of chips dry like they were left over from lunch . The fish was cut very thinly...

Really disappointed , this is usually our favourite place to go but the chips were average at best this time , they traded old . We will be looking for a new place to get our fish and chips .

Lovely all freshly cooked to order, we moved here in January and this is our local fish shop. There is always a queue so you can tell how popular it is.

was a bit hit aand miss last year but has improved. this year chips are much better. should put more in their burgers like onion etc. but so far so good

Good for single lite bite-value. cooked to order Chips a bit soggy though and savaloys luke warm............................................

We have purchased from here on several occassion now and never been disapppointed with the food .Fish and chips are always good .The service is quick and friendly even when busy

Nice food Quality and fish cooked fresh to order and staff are freindly Thanks to all at Skinners 10/10

this is the best chippy in town cooked to order and served quickly by plesant staff. wery clean shop

I have been going there for a long time now and after trying other fish and chip shops and I’ve tried many! This is by far the best in Clacton-on-Sea without a doubt, there is always a queue ( which should tell you something) the fish always seems to be cooked to order so it’s always fresh and the portions of chips are a good size.

went in for the first time today as was in the area visiting family !!! first impressions nice shop, very clean first off I thought was a little expensive for a chip shop but was happy to pay the amount and even happier when I saw the portion size!!! wooow!!!! fish was cooked to order and chips were freshly cooked too!!!! very rare where I'm from!!!! !!! anyways very happy with tonight's meal will definitely recommend and go again!! BIG WELL DONE !!!!! mashallah

Was in Clacton doing a job asked my customer we’re is a good fish and chip shop gonna treat my team they said Skinner’s in great Clacton so not many miles away basically round corner order 2 large skate and 2 large cod all with chips!there were cooked fresh to order and to perfection could not complain about anything it was superb I definitely be cumin bak here thank you all keep up the good work you all deserve it god bless you all

Best chippy in Clacton, they're ridiculously generous with the chips and the cod is massive! Staff are friendly and so efficient.

Picked up fish n chips as we didn't fancy cooking had been here before so knew what to expect

Had Large Plaice and Chips cooked to order, absolutely delicious. The fish was so big it hung off both sides of my plate. Not to much batter , and it had a lovely taste. Visit Skinners at least once a week

Great Food at a Great Price. You get loads of chips. Fresh tasty fish. Crispy not stodgy pies. Really nice place to get a take away

nice food and staff ate always friendly. been using skinners a while now no complaints. I'm very local to skinners and use couple of times a week

You can tell a good restaurant or food outlet when you see people lining up out the door. I have been going to Skinners for years and have never had a bad dinner. The fish is cooked to order & a medium Cod is huge, to the point we just get one medium chips for me & my wife. The prices are reasonable and if you do have to wait because of the amount of people, its worth it because the food is delicious.

The food is great. I am a regular eater at skinners. I love the food there. the customer service is excellent I go there on a regular bases

COD was perfect so no reflection on the rest of the meal but the skate was bad and nothing said or done about it 😔

Always get a good meal here, nice quality food and it always seems to be busy which says alot. highly recommended.

We regularly use Skinners they have great food and excellent service, I especially recommend their customer service. You may have to wait as the food is cooked fresh, and is not dried and hard, so it is well worth it.

I won't go to any other chippy, always fresh fish an loads of chips, not keen on the curry sauce...

its all lovely all the food is very good,best fish chips in town big portions chips,staff quick and friendly, and very clean shop and staff

We use this place 2.3 times a week, the middle cod is great as all the food here is, chips always freshly cooked and the staff are all welcoming, gets very busy so good idea to do phone order

Pensamos que habíamos encontrado un buen "fish and chips" en la última, que comenzó bien tenía algunos anoche y fue horrible, el aceite la saveloy probado yuk tenía grandes bultos. Dejé todo mi comida, ya que me hizo sentir enfermo

We go here every Friday. It's always busy and although you may have to wait for your order you can see everything being freshly cooked. Very friendly staff.

I always visit this chip shop, since being taken over the portion sizes are now huge which offers great value for money and the chips taste lovely! Its very clean and tidy.

Large portions of chips even though ordered a regular size, cod was lovely but had to wait 20 minutes

Cruda saveloy vinimos aquí muchas veces y siempre comprar pescado y patatas fritas, pero por desgracia mi sensación compañero para un cambio y orden saveloy y patatas fritas lo siento chicos cruda, pero esta vez le daría una clasificación baja.

Cada ahora y entonces a través de un pedido de teléfono y fichas para el cod esposa y yo. Siempre es muy buena, bien preparado, bien caliente, y un aspecto fresco. Nunca signos de uso de FAT old como en otros lugares. Una sonrisa amable del personal, y en línea con los precios más chippie. Se sigue utilizando en el futuro. Sólo teléfono, el orden, y 15 minutos más tarde está listo para recoger. En el clavo.

Always busy which is obviously a very good sign. Eaten here many times and it has Excellent quality food, highly recommended.

Cooked to order nice big piece of fish good batter. Great chips.friendly efficient service. Dog loved sausage in better. busy takeaway would recomend

I've had fish & chips from here a few times now and have found them to always be fresh and very nice. The staff are always very friendly and you don't have to wait long for your order. You can phone your order thru which then will be even quicker.I recommend the curry sauce as it is delicious. Give it a try you wont be disappointed.

We have had fish and chips from skinners for several months now and can honestly say the fish & chips have been excellent every time. The staff are so pleasant and polite

Fish and Chips Heaven, I Recommend the sausage in a long roll with cheese and onion American mustard and Ketchup BOOM

Went in for a portion of chips and waited 20 minutes, not good enough in my opinion as had other things to do and had a young baby in the car who was angry at the long wait,i have lived in clacton on sea my whole life and have always gone to skinners as the food was good but now service very slow and food is average

My friend recommended this chip shop to my girlfriend and I. The shop had a nice appearance and we were overjoyed with the service. We were greeted with a friendly smile and service was very quick! Very good price for what we ordered and as far as chip shops go it is as good as you'll find in close proximity.

We have often phoned and ordered our fish and chips and collected later . We have fish and chip shops closer , but prefer Skinners so drive there and collect . Normal prices , good service , very fresh looking , good portions , and tasty . Say no more .( I think the ratings below are for a restaurant , but i think it's a take - away .)

Regular user of Skinners, who's servings have nearly always been delicious and of great quality. Recommend. Only downside, sometimes too busy - but worth the wait!

The best chippy in all of Clacton.They've not been voted the best for nothing!Always friendly and polite staff. Even when they're busy they're polite to each and every customer.Top job!

We had our Dutch friends staying with us over Christmas and they always have to have fish and chips as they can't get them back home. The order was phoned in and made up as soon as we arrived so very efficient service. Masses of chips and large fish portions. Actually, one portion of chips was enough for the four of us and a large fish portion was enough for two to share! So be aware of appetites when ordering and possibly save money.

nice looking shop and had been recommended ( can't understand the recommend at all) so we decided to go for fish and chips, us being healthy northerners I ordered 4 large fish with medium chips. 2 large Cod and 2 Haddock. You must understand here that I love...............good F&C's and obviously dislike poor F&C's as there is no excuse. Everything appeared good for a while and all looked professional, all the blurb in the shop was good, my mouth was watering at the thought. Paid, served lets get stuck in..............not one of us had anything good to say apart from the chips, they were superb in quality. How can you then serve second rate fish with these. Fish that was obviously way past its best. The Haddock on one portion was not even that horrble grey colour you get when its gone past fresh. It was dry and the fish colour at one end of the fillet was brown. Throw it out if it's no good chaps. Haddock and Cod fillets should be a lovely white colour with good meaty flakes when you eat them. £30 of hard earned money wasted. Dont buy your Fish and Chips here. Big improvement required!!!!!

Me and my partner head here a lot as it's local and only a 5 minute walk from where we are, chips are always spot on, never a complain, would highly recommend

I have two fish and chip shops much nearer but the extra distance well worth the journey. Tim who runs it well trained by Reg many years ago. I sometimes wonder when he pops out the back if he nips down to the beach to get my order it is so fresh!Nigel

Visited clacton today and fancied some chips. Looked up gluten free chips shops in clacton and skinners was listed. Gave them a quick call to check gluten free available today and then made our way there. Great chips...good size portions...friendly staff. Definitely be returning here next time we visit clacton.

Visited Clacton on Friday evening I was recommended Skinners. Very kind staff. Had to wait 10 minutes as the Que was out the door but was well worth the visit as my fish was fresh and the chips were crispy on the outside fluffy in the inside.

Very clean, pleasant staff, chips are delicious and cod was huge, served piping hot and at reasonable prices, a very good fish restaurant.

Very clean premises and the best fish and chips in Clacton, Have been there many times and the food is consistently the same, always freshly cooked. The restaurant is next door to Chip Shop.

Lovely food made fresh to order visited on more than one occasion in the week.. Reasonable prices and portions..would recommend

Came to clacton to visit my mum thought ide eat some fish and chips and i tell you what it was the best chips ive ever had. The fish was freshly cooked on order you will wait a few minuits but it will be worth the wait. I recommend this chippy to everyone! Very friendly staff also!!

This is the best fish and chips I have tasted in England. It's always busy so expect to wait. To me that's a sure sign of a good eating place it there's a Que. Absolutely delicious. Food cooked to order, so is fresh and hot. Very good value for the money.

my order of cod and chips was disappointing the batter on the fish was thick and lumpy not very nice at all, which is a shame as i have never experienced this before at Skinners

This is one of the best fish and chip shops that I have ever used, I have been told that it has been owned by the current family for around 50 years, it is unusual in my experience for a fish and chip shop not to go downhill in quality after a few years, this one clearly has not. All fish and chips cooked to order and very good.

Best Fish & Chips in the area. Cod tail cooked to perfection, batter crispy & light. Pies & sausages all of a very good quality. Chips perfectly cooked & not greasy, all portions are very generous (Enormous). Lovely clean & modern shop with great staff. Not over priced for quality & quantity of food. Well worth a visit.

Our order was messed up, and given to someone else, a refund was politely requested. The staff were rude and unapologetic about the issue. Won't be going back there until the rude Chavy staff have been replaced. Shame as the food is normally ok.

Wonderful service fantastic staff and the most fabulous fish and chips in the area. For us we won't go anywhere else, they know me well now as this is our weekend treat.

This is a great fish and chip shop , never had a problem , chips are good and not greasy like some other places , they do get busy and you can wait a long time for your order but you know it's freshly done, a suggestion for staff , maybe when you have a big que and you have someone who as only order a portion of chips , do their order up first

After a weekly night out, we always call here for our chips and sometimes a little more. Great service, often busy, and great tasting chips!

Skinners is by faaaaaarrrr the best fish n chip shop. That I have ever come across. Everything is freshly cooked, the staff are inviting n friendly. Even under pressure on Friday n Saturday nights with long queues. You still get the same quality food and service.

Having had some excellent fish and chips here in the past I was extremely disappointed today. Today's serving of skate was absolutely rank and unedible, probably recooked 3 times. My Dad recommended this place but thinks there has been a change in management. Shame as good fish and chip shops are rare now days.

Food cooked fresh and plenty of chips. Very popular with local people and also people who travel to Clacton

İm a regular at skinners, they have the best fish always fresh, the fish gets fryed to order, and thier chips are always immaculate, very tasty and chrispy. Defiantly a family place to visit for quality food. They also have been awarded 5 start for food and hygiene just perfect.

Unfortunately, it has lost its tasty ess. The chips were old and not very nice and the fish was old and over cooked. I would not recommend going by that meal. Sorry

This is a good chip shop with a good menu. It can be very busy at the weekend but it's all cooked fresh and always taste great

If I'm in clacton then this is where I get my fish & chips it's brilliant. Good customer service and friendly staff...

Not a great lunch, the chips were mostly little bits and the bigger chips were all green. Kids all left them. Won't be visiting again.

We came before. We made a suggestion. They listened. To all northerners - the gravy is now thick and lush. Thank you for taking note. The portions are still huge too.

Excellent Fish & Chips. Very quick takeaway service, Friendly staff and food cooked while you wait. Would say its one of the best Fish & Chip shops in the area. You wont be disappointed.

Lovely big portions,gorgeous curry sauce.The fish is always tasty and plentiful,i personally like rock eel and its never a disappointment from here.

When I first moved to The South thirty years ago I was shocked and horrified to find that southern chip shops rarely do gravy/curry sauce/mushy peas. Imagine my delight when I entered Skinners with a friend for a bag of chips to find all of the above on the menu. I eagerly ordered chips and gravy and got the most ENORMOUS portion. The place was clean, the staff friendly and the food hot and fresh. Speaking as a northerner the gravy could do with being a little thicker but that would be my only, tiny, criticism.

great take away, shame they don't deliver. A Really nice portion of fish and chips without grease or excessive oil. Beautifully cooked and really tasty.

So delicious and crispy lightly buttered fish and chip. It's marvellous... Thanks for perfect lunch guys! I'm gonna definitely come back.
