I get fish and chips from her regularly. They used to be very, very good. The last couple of times the quality of the chips have been very poor. They are usually sitting around for awhile have black bits in them and are scrappy bits of potato. I keep coming back and hoping that the quality will Improve. However, unless you go when they have just freshly cooked the chips they are pretty rubbish.

Nice food but the chip portion sizes aren't consistent. Sometimes you will get a good sized portion but other times they're tiny. A medium portion is supposed to be for 2 people but sometimes it's barely enough for one.

I only wanted a small portion of chips. But I have to say those were some of the best chips I have ever! Super crispy on the outside still soft inside, absolutely perfect balance of salt on them. Very generous portion too. You do have to pay extra if you want sauces on them though.

I ordered a kebab with chips as takeaway, and it was cold on the inside, although the outside looked cooked. Tasted more jello and had to throw it away. Had better. The chips, on the other hand, were awesome.

St. James Fish Bar: Top Marks All Across The Board Had a fantastic experience at St. James Fish Bar last night (February 10th, 2024)! The premises are clean, spacious and really invite you to try the food within. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, which always made the experience even better. Onto the food! Their menu is impressively broad for a chip shop which is great if, like me, you like trying new foods. This time, I kept it simple and went for the classic combo of chips and fish, and let me tell you, it was *excellent*. The fish was perfectly cooked – crispy batter, fresh and flaky white fish inside. The chips were just right – golden, fluffy, and not greasy at all. Portion sizes were very generous, too, leaving me feeling happily satisfied. I also bought a double cheeseburger which was very good quality. The vegetables were fresh and the onions were plentiful, whilst the beef was good quality. Feeling a bit adventurous, I also tried their deep-fried Mars bar. The combination may sound unusual but the result was, without a doubt, delicious! The warm, gooey chocolate with the crispy coating was a delightful treat without being sickly or over-indulgent. Honestly, there wasn't a single thing I could fault about my visit to St. James Fish Bar. The food was top-notch, the atmosphere was great, and the service was friendly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious and enjoyable meal. I'll definitely be back for more fish and chips (and probably another Mars bar, too!). **Overall rating:** 5 out of 5 stars **Pros:** * Clean, spacious, and inviting atmosphere * Friendly and welcoming staff * Excellent quality food with generous portions * Particularly impressed with the fish and chips, and the deep-fried Mars bar was a tasty treat! **Cons:** * None **Additional notes:** * Would definitely revisit * Would highly recommend to others

One of the best fish and chips (and saveloy) that we've ever had, lovely tasty batter on the fish, great chips and a perfect saveloy (not dry or sat in salt water for hours as we've had at other places). Also great value for money. No other fish and chips place in Soton even comes close. We've found a new favourite takeaway.

This is my local chippy and as others have said always used to be very popular. It has gone through several changes of owners over the last few years and I thought I would give it a chance today with a spring roll and chips. Well maybe I have missed something but a spring roll to me is packed with delicious oriental style vegetables. This one was filled with heavy sludge with a few peas and carrots in it. I have no idea what it was even meant to be. My instinct says this is left over chips chucked in the food processor but I could be wrong. The chips were fine but rather in the big hefty style without any crispiness. I'm really sorry but I certainly won't be returning.

We live in Fareham and have been meaning to try Masal Madness for some time. I know Sattar and Manik and used to go to their Steak and Spice Restauants and The Prince in London Road. Manik is simply the best chef and I have so much missed his excellent food. We ordered and drive back as quickly as possible back to Fareham - speed limit allowing and then enjoyed the best curry the family have had for ages. Everything was absolutely spot, hot, tasty, spicy and just right! Well done team we will so much be back over to Southampton to pick up a curry, well worth the trip and simply outstanding compared to our local curry takeaways in Fareham. Thank you so much!
