The Fish House in Tendring

Take away cod and chips, maybe the best chips I've had from a chippy, huge portion even though only ordered medium. Bought in person and took them to eat overlooking the sea. Have to assume other reviewers who said chips were hard had them delivered as ours were perfectly cooked. Only gave 3 stars for atmosphere as not really relevant for a chippy.

Living in Hamburg and travelling to the UK using the Harwich ferry often, this fish and chip shop is the first and best stop over ever. Extreme large portions cooked fresh with every order, very friendly team, Best order a size smaller than normal .... only down side is it is cash only.

Without doubt THE best value fish and chips I've ever had (and I've had a lot), top 3 overall. Huge portions of beautifully crispy, flaky battered fish and proper chip shop chips. Don't worry about under ordering, it'd be almost impossible. Could comfortably feed four adults for under £10 each. Generous portions of sauces and sides. Everything lovely and fresh. Perfect meal after a long drive.

Friendly quick service Food not so good Ordered pie and chips. Unwrapped pie, still in plastic wrapping, pastry soft and pie warm. Feels like had been microwaved from frozen and left sitting for hours. Took one bite and left rest for fear of food poisoning. This is not how to serve pie in a fish and chips shop! Many chips pale and undercooked Paid around £10. Surprised by all positive reviews. No queue, perhaps for good reason

Very quick and friendly staff. However the fish is definitely brought frozen and you can taste it Chips were amazing tho! Personally won't be going here again

Visited Harwich yesterday and stopped off here for Haddock and Chips. Very friendly people and a massive portion! Really tasty as well and sat and ate it alongside the beach. Highly recommended

Chips hard, greasy and undercooked. Had to throw the lot away. Sausage cold but fish hot and greasy. Unfortunately won't be going here again. Disgusting.

Best Fish and Chips ever. Large portions and deliciously baked with a tasty crust. Very good price-quality ratio. In addition, a fast service! Recommended!

Had this last night and have been suffering all day with stomach pain with vomiting!

Wonderful chip shop great service by a really kind gentleman shame the chips ain't that good where we live

Food: mass. The only taste came from the vinegar. Ambience: not even a stand-up snack bar. Staff: well. Inexplicable where the reviews came from.

I recently visited The Fish House and was thoroughly impressed by the quality of their food. The fish was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious, with a crispy batter and tender, flavorful meat inside. The chips were also excellent, tasting very good and served in an ample amount. Overall, a fantastic experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch fish and chips!

Always excellent cod and chips big portions great value for money Highly Recommend

This is by far the best fish n chips n chicken in harwich, staff and boss are very friendly and give the best portions at a good price, I would recommend this place to anyone, you won't ever be disappointed. Yummy 😋

I can see why this is the best rated eatery in all of Harwich. The portion sizes are fantastic for the price and all their food is fresh and delicious. The fish is massive so make sure you are hungry. Battered sausage is perfect and their delivery time is always excellent. Can't praise this place more, best fish and chip shop around.

The food was very tasty, definitely one of the best fish shops we have visited in the UK. Our order was ready very quickly. Thank you!

They are very kind and give us chips even if we don't have anothe

Miss A Hamblin.

Food is always great from the fish house and the service we have found to be fantastic. Thank you 👍

Great fish and chips really friendly staff excellent

This was my second visit. I had large haddock and chips. It was very good, just like the first time. I shall return when I'm in the area again!

Best chip shop, great staff, good always cooked well, very clean environment. Great value for money. Won’t use anywhere else

thank you for the best fish and chips since the chippie in waddesdon road closed massive portions xx

Had lovely fish and chips from here staff are 👍 👌

Just had lovely fresh cheeseburger chips and chicken! always fab food and service ...both food and staff are great and friendly as always!thank u all x👍😊🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Quite lovely just super greasy. The fried chicken was also very good.

Amazing fish and chips. I used to be in the 'Trade' for 25 years, this is definitely up to a High Standard. Beautiful cooked Fish 'n Chips. You must try the Fish House!!!!

Fantastic, crispy batter and great chips, be prepared to eat leftovers next day as the portions are huge!

Really good fresh fish and chips, lovely crispy batter on the fish. Generous portions and was delivered quickly despite the weather being awful!

Best fish n chips in the area with generous portions, don't go anywhere else

Great friendly service with very generous chip portions. Excellent value. Highly recommend.

possibly the best Fish and Haddock I have had for a very long time.

Nice Sausage & Chips. But Expensive in my opinion

first time ate fish and chips and MITHAT has the biggest portions of chips and Cod . Delicious

Best fish and chips we've had for a long time. Good quality fish and chips and the portions are amazing. Please keep up the good work guys. Very nice and highly recommended 👌

Always had great service, cooked fresh to order, so expect to wait a short while, we'll worth the wait. The Porton size is Great. Always Clean, Polite, Helpful. When friends' families come visiting and fancy Fish and Chips, This IS the Place to go

Was told about this chip shop from a man who owns Pacific 7 chip shop further down the road ( his brother ) , While staying in Dovercourt we made a visit here ,we had fish (cod) and chips,fish was a very good size and tasty ,my son pointed out that we did have a lot of burnt brown chips but don’t let that put you of,according to my son tho he prefers this fish better more than from chip shop pacific 7 but I beg to differ….

When I visited this place for lunch I went in the chip shop and the man just stared at me and didn’t even greet me. Ordered haddock and chips. When I got my food I was happy with the potion size. When I tucked in to the food I was disappointed. The batter was so thick and raw. It was like eating dough. I had to peel it off from the fish. The fish didn’t have any taste at all. I had to cover it in vinegar and salt to make it edible. The chips was drowning in oil. It’s like they didn’t let the excess oil drip.

The Best Fish & Chip shop in Harwich , lovely friendly staff , never had a bad meal 10 out of 10

Great food friendly quick attentive service

The slowest service to take an order I’ve ever encountered in a restaurant, that should be so easy to administer efficiently and THEN a group of people who came in AFTER me are served FIRST before me !!!😡😡😡 why can’t restaurants get this fundamental simple part of running a business correct ?? ( there had not be an included service charge upon the bill ! )

Super friendly guys. Gave lots more food as I was the last order of the night.

Merci, un endroit incroyable avec des gens phénoménaux. 1er chippy de ma vie. Thank you to Asiye, Idris🇫🇷🇹🇷🇮🇳

Very good huge piece of fish and lovely chips, very friendly

Great place great food great people

Spent a week in Harwich on holiday with the kids and had more than enough fish and chip shops to choose from but I’m so happy we chose this one! Prices were good, food was cooked fresh to order and portion sizes were huge! The children’s meal in particular was excellent value for money! Wish I could take this restaurant back to London with me.

Pyszne jedzenie w przystępnej cenie. Super mili ludzie i wielkie zdjęcie Stambułu na ścianie 🙃 Bardzo polecam 💪🙂

Very fast delivery and good food

Called in on a late Sunday afternoon. Food was excellent. Best fish n chips I've had in the area & I live nr manningtree ! Asked for ' Light ' batter- no problem. Batter was light & crispy, non greasy. Chips cooked to perfection. Attentive, friendly staff. My go to place now for Quality fish & chips. Fried chicken looked really good also 😋 Excellent all round 👏

Best fish and chips in harwich

Very lovely and friendly staff, felt welcomed to the restaurant, the food was cooked fresh and tasty would definitely pop back when in the area

Use every week very good never a bad dish

Friendly people, great crunchy batter and fresh white fish. Potatoes properly baked and tasteful. Large portions and very well priced.

Overall Very impressed I had to leave a review, Chicken kebab 10/10 garlic and chilli sauce is nice to I ordered a 2 piece chicken and received 3, I was very surprised very generous chicken is better than KFC to ill defiantly be ordering again Must Try

Ordered via Just Eat on a Friday night so I expected a long delay but it arrived in around 20 minutes. Great fish and chips and really big portions

Husband went and bought one cod and chips and one plaice and chips. Plaice well if blindfolded could not say what i was eating tastless fish whether to start with it was frozen fish do not know, The cod husband said i have had better both were cooked to otrder but both fish were overcooked. Will not go there again. What the chips are cooked in do not know but was left with a taste in the mouth like a dripping taste. When i read good reviews and then go there and it is like stated it is obvious their friends have written the reviews either that or do not know what decent fish /chips taste like. The above came to exactly £20.money wasted.

omg best fish and chips ever in dovercourt

I was for work in the UK. You can only pay cash there and i only had a creditcard with me. The kind owner let me eat and said……!!! you pay me later when your back in the UK. Super Kind!!!!!!!! Not 5 but 10 stars

The best chicken kebab we’ve found since moving here! Such tender chicken with loads of fresh salad in a pitta bread. Delivery is always on, if not ahead of, time by polite drivers. Recommend

This is the only best place to go for fish & chips. Food is always hot and fresh. The people that work there are amazing people.

Great service great food Best fish and chips for years

Great food, generous portions. Take cash as no card machine.

Great food. Lovely friendly Staff.

Not bad - massive portions (skin still on cod which I am not usually to fond of, but was nice).

Very good fish and chips and super friendly staff!

This place is how take aways used to be. Generous portions, good ingredients, friendly staff. I had fried chicken and it's better than KFC (it's cooked) plus they use a genuine pressure fryer for the chicken. Going to try their fish next time. Their chips are thick and nice. 10/10

We stayed in Harwich for a week this year and visited here twice. When you walk in you are always greeted well, everybody behind the counter wants to say hello, they are very friendly there. We ordered 2 chips, buttered roll, and a quarter pounder with cheese, it was ready in about 5 minutes, very quick. It cost about a tenner, very reasonable. Cash only but there is a cash machine 2 minutes away at TSB. There was -so many- chips, the portions are huge, we could have had a chips to share. The chips were decent enough, a bit crispy on the outside, fluffy on the outside, very big and chunky chips. The burger was lovely, the roll was fresh, they asked exactly what salad I wanted, I asked for lettuce and ketchup and it was exactly that. The burger was very tasty actually. The buttered roll was a crusty roll, different to the burger bun, quite tough but OK. We would definitely visit again when we are in Harwich, it is overall nice food, very affordable and very friendly staff.

Goed adres voor Fish & Chips en veel meer. Ruime porties en erg goede kwaliteit. Portie op de foto is de kleine versie..

Had another fantastic takeaway yesterday, this place is just an all round great chippy . The staff are friendly the food is always of a high standard . The chicken shish Kebabs are a meal in themselves 😊👍 Try one with the Chilli sauce mmmmm xx Well done Fish House xx See ya soon 😊

Tasty fish and chips. Great service as well

Friendly staff great food it's the only fish shop I use

Very good food and frendly Staff..

Good price, big portions and lovely staff. Extremely recommended. Good job keep going👍

Good sized portions cooked well with friendly staff

Absolutely fantastic, exactly how the fish& chips supposed to be, well done guys.

Really delicious food! Fabulous value for money and great portion sizes!! Incredibly accommodating and friendly staff - 100% worth a visit!! We WILL return!!!!

Absolute best kebab shop around! fresh food every time and great service wouldn't go anywhere else ! Staff are kind and friendly always happy to help and always cleaning definitely would recommend! 10/10!!

Make sure you are hungry to get the best of this. The portion sizes are massive, and I mean massive. The large cod was literally over a foot long, my medium cod was what I'd call extra large anywhere else! Same goes with the chip portion sizes. A large between two would be more than generous. Fabulously fresh food all served up quickly with excellent customer service and a smile. We wish we lived nearer!!

Here from London for the weekend, was recommended this is the best place for fish in the area...... 100% true, portion, taste, quality, price, I definitely will remember this place next time I'm down again

The best fish and chips in Harwich, even when they don’t have any chips left! Chicken is also brilliant. Thankyou

Very disappointed with the price you have to spend for delivery. For one person you have to spend over £13 to get it delivered, there's no way on hell one person will spend £13 by themselves.

Really good chips. Delicious. Well worth a visit

The best fish and chips in Harwich. Generous servings.

Amazing service and Amazing food. Also down right the best fish and chips I can get in town for a reasonable price too!

Too many fries. The fish was 'okay'... Sloppy, falling apart, greasy. Lack of seasoning. Couldn't pay with cards 😮

Ordered large fish and chips Just before closing the nice people still cooked it it was delicious great service

Ordered online via the website to my grandparents house, was delivered 10 minutes earlier than expected too on a Saturday evening which was great and all the food was hot. They had forgotten 1 item we had ordered, however once we called up they were very apologetic and quickly rectified the issue - all of the food was very good, we ordered fish, rock, fish cake, sausage in batter and scampi all of which were lovely. 10/10.

The only problem with this place is that they give you too much....what a place....best fish and chips in the local area...

Just had our first delivery from harwich fish house, the food was delicious and plentiful but most importantly really hot. Excellent quality. Will be ordering again.

I agree with the other reviews, very friendly staff. All three greeted me when I walked in. Food was great too.

Good fish and chips ,,, one problem, cash only

By far, the best in the area. Great friendly staff. Food is cooked well . No pre cooked/ double dipped chips here. Freshly cooked. Spicy wings are hot. Very hot. Fish is cooked spot on. Can not recommend them enough. Great service. Even when I have had food delivered, arrived quickly.

We are a bit disappointed as only left a star rating of two, which to be honest was probably a bit unfair. So having read the owners comment and now leaving a comment to justify our rating. We didn't have much money on us, and didn't realise this shop doesn't take card payment. Although the portions were of good size and the fish was large. We both felt a bit poorly the day after. Maybe it wasn't the food from here, but we can only give you our experience. It is hard for people to be honest these days as sometimes the owners can take offence. It is only our opinion. As for the owners comment about visiting lots of places in one day, is totally incorrect. However reviewing the lots of places we have been to in the last 3 to 4 weeks in one day is true. Thank you.

Superb food, super staff, large portions, The Best Chip Shop in Harwich

Friendly service. Generous portions. Spotlessly clean. Good food at a fair price. It's not the best fish I have had, that award goes to Harbour View in the north east. Best chips goes to a lovely chippy in Aldeburgh. This place however is local and is certainly the best place in this town. Will be using again soon.

Great fish and chips and lovely staff

Found this place today and called in to grab a bite to eat down on the front and what a find it was. Fantastic value for money, lovely chips - also recommend the battered mushrooms, you get loads! And the friendliest staff. 100% worth the 5 stars ✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️

Tried a couple of chippys whilst on holiday in Harwich and this was easily the best. Staff friendly and fast service, would certainly use again.

Excellent fish and chips, great value for money.

Amazing customer service, great food and very generous portions. Thank you 😎
