The Fisherman's Wife in West Dorset

This is no longer the Fisherman's Wife. It would be great if the people that have taken it over could also serve a variety of locally caught fish.

Only got one star as it wouldn't let me post without one. Also operating as, or previously under a different name too Out of The Blue? Is that because they are getting bad food reviews We had fish and chips from here recently. Overpriced, and absolutely awful. Thanks to you my son now has food poisoning, he has been throwing up, with a bad tummy all of last night and today. He fell ill within half an hour of eating the food. Most of mine went in the bin, because the oil the food was cooked in smelt old. The chips were horrible, they tasted rancid. I have worked in chippies, so i know when oil is fresh. It should not smell like that. The fish was watery, badly filleted, still full of bones, and still had the skin on it. Laziness. Cheap tasting tomato sauce, that was self service, out of a squeezy bottle that everyone is touching, the same for the salt and vinegar shakers. Given that covid is still around. You might want to rethink and provide sachets. I will not be back or recommending anyone have food from this establishment. Our long journey home was awful. Hope the environmental health department see this. Do not recommend to anyone.

Chips were cooked fresh and were piping hot and crispy. Lovely. There’s a long bench outside that you can sit on and people watch whilst you eat your fish and chips.

Great freshly cooked to order fish and chips. Whitebait as well was a surprise and I was glad I had it. Kids dinners seemed a bit expensive but they really enjoyed them and were very good quality. Well worth walking the extra 50m past the ones with bad reviews on the front.

So you make your way to the kitchen door to wait for your order as instructed. There's a bench (outdoors) with one other person on there. It is a long bench, over 2 metre - and because you've been on your feet all day and getting a blister you sit down, observing social distancing as we're not out of the pandemic yet. Turns out the other person on the bench scrolling on his phone was the owner. He grumpily gets up, stubs out his fag and mutters something about me having to be more COVID friendly. Tells me to get on my feet, then picks up the bench and places it vertically against the wall. Then barges through, now completely ignoring any 2 metre guidelines himself. Comes back to the kitchen 5 minutes later and starts having a go at his staff. Then throws some fish at the seagulls (despite all the "DO NOT FEED THE SEAGULLS" signs all over town). Ten minutes later, he sits on the bench outside at the OTHER side of the wall once again without himself observing social distancing rather than putting his own precious bench back in place. Won't be coming back while I remember this rather poor excuse for a human being. What an absolute piece of hypocrite garbage, the type that thinks rules only apply to others.

Not exactly gluten free…. The fish just comes with no batter!!! Very disappointing (and misleading). Turns out they also cater for vegetarian (you just get chips) and Jain (you just get a packet of salt). Don’t be fooled by the big GLUTEN FREE sign 🙄

Stayed in Lyme Regis end of July. We visited the Fisherman’s wife on five of the nights we stayed. Fish and chips, scampi and chips, whitebait and chips, scallops and chips were all tried on the visits. Good cooked to order. Chips well cooked, good portions. Full chips no crinkly scraps. Good selection of condiments , tartare sauce, tomato, vinegar and salt sachets. Large queues develop at peak times. Be aware at night the owner doesn’t stay open if demand from public has waned. If your visiting for the day you can preorder and best queues but your food will only be cooked ahead of the queue when you appear at the door. Tried other vendors before we were tempted by the scallops , quality at Fisherman’s wife , compared to Lyme Fish Bar was way above standard . The Lyme Bar food in town was not cooked to order with cooked fish stacked on the hot plate. Got to know Phillip the proprietor over the week and is extremely knowable in the production of his menu. He takes a pride in the finished product, food is of a very high standard.

These were the best scallops I have tasted. My wife enjoyed the scampi. Must have waited for 40 minutes before we received our food. There appeared to be only one person working behind the counter, under the circumstances he did a good job. Next time we’re in Lyme Regis I’d go here again. The only negative was the long wait. I think they were short staffed on the day we visited.

Awful, worse choice ever made, won’t ever visit again it was inedible, batter wasn’t bad but chips and fish put this place to shame

The whiting was excellent: hot, well prepared, tasty and plenty of it. Good chips to go with that. The rest of the team had other choices and all were very happy. Good ordering, paying, collection system. The Mrs. clearly has things under control...many thanks!

Came to Lyme Regis on a voyage of abdominal-discovery. Searched for it, loved it, satisfied. Venture nowhere else for sucullently, fried fish & chips. No problem. Say no more. BANGIN'

Quality and size of Haddock way down on a visit a year ago. 30 minutes to wait for two fish. I won’t go there again.

Think the title says it all - really fabulous fish and Chips, bit of a while to queue, but well worth the wait. Thank you,

Sorry but to que up for over a 45 mins to be told only when you get to the window that they’re not serving burgers is pretty disappointing. No harm on putting a sign up so people don’t bother wasting they’re time. So we waited all that time and could of gone elsewhere first!! Oh well another local chip shop saved our day! We live in Lyme and won’t be returning!

Lovely fresh & hot chips with ample portion size. Hot or cold drinks also available. Price reasonable against other seafront establishments. All chips are gluten free so if you want fish gluten free they will cook it without the batter.

After reading reviews on here my family and I decided to have "proper seaside " fish & chips, we walked straight passed several delicious smelling establishments to try what we thought would be the best! Unfortunately what we got was "Alright " they had the slowest of service but the covid 19 pandemic was probably too blame for that . The fish was nice in fact very nice the major issue and it is in my/our book a real problem was the chips! They were NOT chip shop chips they were......frozen! In fact I've honestly had better oven chips and when I visit the seaside I expect proper fish and chips as I rarely have fish and chips at home! I hate to leave anything less than positive but I would avoid this particular place if like my family and I you are looking for a traditional seaside treat

Having walked around Lyme Regis we lots of places to get fish and chips but picked this the que was there but moving and those sat around eating had a smile. We took our food to sit on the beach and was impressed with the presentation, all the condiments that you might want and even more so by the taste. The chips where a lovely golden brown and not greasy at all. The scampi was great and the cod was scrumptious- same non greasy. Will visit again when in the area.

Stopped here for scallops and chips last week, scallops were amazing, freshly hand dived that day and the chips were well cooked, not the usual mushy half cooked chip shop chips!! Will certainly be back😀👍

Crispy, fresh and tender salt and pepper squid. The portions are very generous and there are plenty of free sauces on the table outside (plus you get free tartare sauce so don’t bother buying any of the sachets. Lovely views of the harbour to enjoy your lunch by. We didn’t have fish on this occasion so I can’t personally vouch for it but while we were waiting for our food a fellow who had had fish earlier stopped by specifically to tell them it was the best fish and chips he’d ever had!

Good fish and chip shop offering gluten free options. Good knowledge of Coeliac disease/cooking requirements. Portions average size (not overly-generous), but well cooked and location beside the edge of the harbour was perfect. Recommended.

I can't understand why people go here ..like me it must be their first time trying them... cheap is not always the best .. they are the worsed fish &chips I have ever had.. one word .. disgusting ..frayed by kids that look like they are brain dead .. and cant be bothered ... when you try them you will know what I mean ... never ever again

Came here after reading the reviews saying there were gluten free options and was very happy. The chips are amazing, and the pan fried fish was perfectly cooked. The portions were very big so you won't be hungry (whicu is a nice surprise with gluten free food as the portions are normally smaller), the price was very reasonable, especially for how much good we got, and it tasted delicious. If you go in peak season, expect there to be a bit of a queue, but it's worth the wait. I'll definitely be back when I come down again!

Visited this fish and chips outlet on Monday 3rd of September at around 4pm. It was in a quiet period. Firstly I asked if the fish was freshly cooked. The flier said “we cook to order”, which I took to mean that I order and he then cooks it.I ordered a large haddock and a piece of cod, both with chips. £9.00 for the haddock and chips and £8.00 for the cod and chips; expensive for a takeaway.When the order was served (in a lidded box) I returned to the car and opened the boxes, firstly the two pieces of fish were different colours. The cod was darker than the haddock and the children ate bits of it. It was dry and tough to eat. I tried a bit. So, the cod had been re-fried. Similarly with the chips, not hot - obviously flash fried again.The haddock was freshly cooked but with crappy chips.I won’t use this hippie again and if you query why I didn’t take the order back, it was because my parking had just expired and the car park attended was wandering about.

The BEST Cod & Chips I've ever tasted. Lovely crisp batter and the senior portion is very generous. The stall may be busy at times but its well worth the wait.

We got a takeaway with the kids whilst in the area. The chips were very bland but the fish cakes were ok. The service was appalling this day as it was busy. You waited in one line, then paid and then waited in another line for your food. It must have taken 20 mins for 4 chips and 4 fish cakes which cost £22. Expensive with poor service today but it maybe good when not so busy.

The haddock just melts in your mouth. Went twice on our brief stay. Not cheap, but you pay for quality. Enjoy the haddock

We’ve eaten here a few times, and have nothing but praise for the quality of the food. Last time we took my brother-in-law for scallops. They were fabulous. For takeaway food it isn’t cheap, but you get what you pay for, and it is absolutely top notch.

We stopped here for fish and chips to take down to the Cobb which is the best place in Lyme Regis. We had one cod and one haddock and chips. Both were very healthy portions, cooked to perfection and served very fresh and hot. We saw someone else have Lyme Bay hand caught scallops and chips. They looked wonderful. Something for next time..,

We stopped off in Lyme Regis on a busy Sunday en route back home with no real plans for food but I'm glad we held out and came across this place. Portion sizes were fantastic and pricing really reasonable. Menu is very clear on what is fresh and what isn't. My partner and I shared haddock and chips and whitebait and chips and were absolutely stuffed afterwards! The batter on the haddock was beautifully done - crispy and not greasy at all. The chips were cooked to perfection - just the chipshop-style chips I had been craving all day. Small amount of bench seating right by it as well so you don't have to go too far to eat and no seagulls lurking either!

Lovely fresh fish well prepared. And their curry sauce is a must, just delicious for dipping your chips in.

I don’t live no we’re near so are family thought we should go to Lyme so we wanted fish and chips so we went there and the people were nice and the food was amazing the best I have had in a long time if I had to rate out of 10 it would easily be ten keep up the good work.

Have followed manager to new place as food was exelant good quality and quantity but on recent trips food has gone down hill chips and fish very greasy

Doesn’t look much from the road but we have eaten chips around the world and these were some of the best chips ever.Crispy outside and fluffy inside. Not the usual soggy ball of potato that so often passes for chips elsewhere.Fish or scallops all lovely.Good sized portions and sensible prices.Try it you won’t be disappointed.

I often come here and love their scallops. A friend does not like battered fish, and he was thrilled with his freshly grilled fish. Quick service, and good value for money. Just make sure the seagulls do not grab your delicious supper!!

Was so nice to have the option of grilled fish instead of battered. Fantastic choice of fish including some you don’t normally get in chip shops. Well done

we wanted to get some good fish and chips when staying in Axminster and have not been impressed with their local chippies. Therefore drove about 20 minutes to Lyme Regis to get some fish and chips. we had fish, chips, mushy peas and curry sauce. It was all reasonable priced and was very busy. I think it shuts about 6.30pm so dont leave it too late.I believe the fish is caught locally and appeared very fresh.Everyone in the family really enjoyed the food and would use again and defo recommend.When trying to find the place (as it's at the end of the beach in the harbour end), interestingly the local newsagent had never heard of the place which was odd but then maybe he owned another chippie somewhere :-)

What a find by the Cobb, GLUTEN FREE MENU is massive. It's all fresh, it's all cooked to order, it's well priced and it's the best you will find in Lyme Regis Thank you The Fishermans Wife.

That's the first time ever I ate scallops caught the same day and boy, they were totally worth it. Definitely recommend, and the prices are a bit lower than the more commercial chip shops 20 metres away.

I've never had scallops cooked as well as these before. They were delicious, I could have eaten them all day. The cod and chips were equally as good. Prices reasonable too. Highly recommend.

Called in here after a visit to the local dentist (we actually live in Exeter but no nhs dentists available. ! ), anyway, we had pie and chips because my partner is gluten intolerant and they do not have gluten free batter, but the pies are gluten free. It was very tasty, nice and hot. Friendly chatty staff and a nice location. Although it was cold and windy when we were there. (feb' ) we will definitely call again as it was just what we needed and the prices at the local pub were through the roof for the same sort of food.

Thank you. We’ve just brought our friends to visit our favourite fish and chip shop on our way home from North Devon. Everyone LOVED their meals, especially the scallops which were described as “delicious and cooked to perfection”. See you next time. x

I have finally got down to the Fisherman's wife fish & chip shop. Wow, fantastic menu, chips were lovely. I just had the chips, but there are loads of GF option of grilled fish/shellfish on offer. I will definitely be coming back again.

Just recently found this fab fish and chip shack. Friendly service, and delicous both the haddock and cod, good wedge of lemon and comes with tartare sauce. Will not bother with the rest.

Positioned right by The Cobb, we bought a portion of fish and chips which were lovely. Not too greasy and very reasonably priced. Short walk to sit on a bench to eat overlooking the harbour.

Probably the best fish and chips I've ever had ( I had white sit and hubby had cod), fresh, crisp and very well presented, loved it.

My infrequent trips to this favourite place commonly end with Fish and chips, eaten on the Cob.We have tried all the " on the beach " establishments and found all of them to be rather good; usually we seek ones offering an OAP special Fish and chips.Acting on advice from our son, we tried , the one on the corner, opposite the RNLI, now called the Fisherman's Wife. It had closed for a while, quite a while in fact.We were not disappointed either.Pleasant service, food cooked to order and served very hot. I had an OAP special, which can be Haddock or cod, my wife a jumbo sausage, and we shared the chips. It was plenty.My haddock was perfect, I event shared it, my wife finds fish dry, and she gave it the thumbs up. Chips were just right, very hot, tasty. Plus, we had free satchets of sauce with our purchase.And so, to a conclusion, this place is our current favourite!!

This little shop is across the roundabout from the main Lyme Regis promenade, opposite the Royal Life Boat building.It's a real step up in quality from the other fish & chip vendors that operate from the static vans at the top of the promenade.There's a wide variety of fresh fish and shellfish on offer (for example scallop & chips); and the quality and value is excellent.Three haddock and chips with soft drinks came to about £25, and for the "off the boat freshness", this is worth every penny.

This place sells lovely fresh fish and chips right near the harbour. There is a large variety of fish and seafood available and all cooked fresh to order. Great value as well.

We are frequent visitors to Lyme Regis and you cannot best fish n chips by the sea on a warm sunny day sitting on The Cobb eating it out of the box. We had the Senior Cod and Chips which was fresh, flaky and glistening to perfection. Excellent service, organised and well worth the wait. We will be back very soon for more.

Following a beautiful stroll along the beach we stopped off at the Fisherman's Wife for a Fish &Chip supper.I asked if they would mind splitting one portion in half as my Son does not have a big appetite which they duly did without question.We then sat on a bench opposite in the evening sun eating what we all thought was possibly the best Fish &Chips we had ever had. Hot, crispy batter on the fish, large portions and fluffy chips - Not the cheapest but just perfect, worth the extra couple of pounds.

In Lyme at lunchtime we shared a fresh-caught and fresh-cooked meal. The whitebait was tasty and chips good. We couldn't have managed the serving alone, but just right shared!

This place never fails to offer perfect Fish & Chips . Always call in when we are in Lyme Friendly staff and fabulous food Highly recommended

When I ordered, I was puzzled to have been given a numbered ticket. When the chips arrived, I understood why – they are freshly made to order, not simply pulled out, ready-cooked from a fryer. They were hot, fresh and perfectly cooked. Seriously, some of the best chips I’ve ever eaten. Taken to a bench on The Cobb and eaten in the sun – what could be better?

Worth the rave reviews.... fish well cooked... incredibly fresh with a light crispy batter.... not at all greasy.... chips ok... Take away to eat on the harbour side for the real deal

Tried to return cod and chips as the fish was tasteless. Told very bluntly that refunds were never given but was not offered any alternative. It makes you think that visitors are there to hand over money and not expect a good product in return.

Read the reviews so went and we enjoyed them. We ordered three fish and chicken bites for the youngest as the chap said they were big potions of chips. They cook to order which is the best way to get freshly cooked food. The fish was very nicely cooked and thick chunky chips. The chicken bites were made from chicken breast and I tried one and it was nice and moist. The only down side is once you ordered you, have to stand on the side of the road waiting for your food.

This place was recommended to us by our Air B&B host. We were not disappointed. The service is quite brusque; they won't win awards for customer service, but the food was really good and well worth the 10-15 minute wait. We took our fish and chips and sat on the Cobb, watching the sea. Bliss.

Got told they have the best fish and chips .... wasn't disappointed... all freshly cooked so a little waiting time but it is worth the wait ... Super job guys

You know you get to go to the seaside for the day, you just want fish and chips. So we drove from charmouth to Lyme Regis because I had eaten here about 12 years ago. So worth the extra few miles!!!. Is it cheap?.. not really, £7.50 for cod and chips. but is it worth the money? Omg yes!!!. The best I have ever eaten. A fantastic portion, so fresh, cooked to order. Just beautiful. Thank you.

Did not enjoy the whole experience. I took the children, we ordered and were given a number ... "half an hour" later the people who ordered after us were served first. I questioned this and had a rude brusque reply. When we eventually received our food, the younger man practically threw it at us and the pickled egg, that my grandson ordered, was put in an open cup - which he promptly dropped, but there was no way I was going to ask for another because they will not get my custom again! I was told we were warned about the wait, but I can categorically state that we were not. I wouldn't have minded so much, but they weren't even tasty. I've eaten better down my local high street. Not worth the money or wait!

We had battered peppered squid, fishcakes (2 per portion), chicken nuggets (several natural shaped pieces) and chips.The portions are huge and we struggled to eat the 3 portions of chips served with the 3 meals. I worked in an award winning chippy for 3 years and this is one of a few that comes up to standard on the chip front - delicious.The squid was very well cooked and not stringy at all. The chicken nuggets were very tasty and not mashed chicken breast shapes. The fishcakes were tasty but very slightly overcooked.I would highly recommend giving this takeaway a go.The big downside is waiting for your food literally standing on the road by a busy carpark. I sent my partner and kids to bench to wait as was too nervous of traffic. Maybe they could ask council for barrier to make safer for pedestrians but a lot of people stood out some way into road with cars swinging around them - think it is a bug safety issue myself.

The 1st time at a fish and chip shop I saw sea bream on the menu and it was delicious. The staff were lovely and everything we ordered was cooked fresh. Thanks for a lovely meal

I live in the area and always use another local chippy but thought we would give this one a go after seeing reviews etc. We weren’t disappointed. This place is now my number 1!! The fish was lovely. Not thick with batter which is what we like. The chips were just as tasty. We also tried the salt and pepper squid!! Amazing!!! (We shared as we wanted to try both the fish and the squid) I will definitely be returning and recommending to friends who visit the area. Well done fisherman’s wife!!

The best we have had in Lyme. Reasonably priced and the cheaper smaller portion of chips for seniors was still too much for us. Enjoyed eating them on the Cobb in the evening sun.(you need to go to the seat at the end to get the sun).

Our group had a regular portion of chips and a large cheesy chips and mushy peas. Huge portions that meant all 3or us (1adult, 2children) were very full.Chips were very nice, crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, peas were good too.Sauces to go with chips were available: mayo, bbq, tomato, brown, American mustard.BBQ sauce was nice too.Quick service. Takes debit cards.

We popped over to Lyme Regis in search of fossils and you can't go to the coast without a fish & chip lunch, there are so many places that sell Fish & Chips in these places it's hard to know which is the best, but we did very well with ours. I know I should have chosen the OAP option though as the portions are huge, but at only £7.50 for a massive piece of juicy cod and 5 potatoes worth of chips each it didn't seem too bad that we couldn't finish them. Each order is cooked to order so the fish are not cooked en mass and always very crispy batter, a nice mix of soft, fluffy and crunchy chips.The only downside is they don't do scraps/scrumps/bits/gribbles

Excellent take away fish and chips. The fish had been caught that morning and the taste was so fresh. Good chips as well. Everything is cooked to order which is great. Good friendly service too.

Perfect fish and chips .the fish is freshly caught and beautifully battered or grilled . It was a busy sumemrs evening as it was Lifeboat week but well worth the short wait . Delicious

Great haddock and chips - crunchy batter that didn’t lose it’s crisp and good chunky chips. Tartar sauce is very basic sadly.

What a wonderful surprise as we stopped off on a bit Saturday lunchtime for some fish and chips and I ended up eating some of the freshest most succulent scallops ever(better than I've had in some top restaurants) the others all opted for the cod and weren't disappointed with the crispy batter on some really fresh fish. The chips were ok but really the fish played the starring role !

The seared scallops were great, but we were surprised at the poor quality of what went with them. The chips were completely tasteless, and the squid, while perhaps decent enough in itself, was enveloped in a thick batter dark enough to taste burnt. We came on a Thursday night, and the grilled fish — which people seem to like most— had been sold out. But the stall really didn’t live up to its billing, and we walked off the experience with a quick tour of the Cobb.

found this place on first week of opening ,excellent quality generous fish portions very well cooked the best we'ed foundAlways visit when in lymeHowever last week were very disappointed whilst still well cooked the portions of cod were more like fish fingers and at £7.50 a go I expect more what has gone wrong ??

Expensive for not great quality. Tasted like the oil used to fry needed changing. Chips a bit dry- and no mayonnaise available to improve matters! Also a good sprinkling of the chips seemed to have been cooked twice and tasted burnt.Wouldn't bother again- two small trays of chips for a fiver, and they didn't even all get eaten as just not that nice.Good location though.

Only recently made this place my regular fish and chips spot (when it's open- winter hours can be a bit dodgy)and I absolutely love it, everything is fresh tasting, it's a cute looking place and they offer Scallops and Whitebait as well as coventional fish and chips. Their prices are pretty good too (in comparison to other Lyme chippies). Wouldn't normally even review a fish and chip shop but I have been really impressed. It's a bit of a hidden gem, just off the main stretch but only a few footsteps further than Lyme Fish Bar (previous favourite) and Herbies (wouldn't recommend). Also, if you like gravy with your chips, this is the place!

There was a bit of a queue when we arrived and we paid for one portion of Cod and Chips and were issued with a ticket. We were fortunate enough to get a bench seat just outside to sit and wait whilst the fish and chips were cooked. The wait was worth it as the fish and chips were cooked to perfection, were hot and tasty. Plenty of sauce on offer but a paper napkin and a wet wipe would have been a nice touch as we struggled to find a tissue to wipe hands. The portion size for £7 was enormous.

We cone to Lyme a lot and always get some nice fish n chips. We've eaten here more than a few times and the first time it was lovely, so we continued to visit. However the huge queues are a magnet for people thinking it's brilliant! But it's not it's just that you have to stand on the street they take absolutely ages. Yes they cook everything to order bit it's over cooked dried up fish no flavour and tiny bits just long tails all skin and burnt over cooked batter. Really rubbish really disappointing we still we visit Lyme multiple times each year but sadly this place is done for us. There are nicer fresher better quality fish shops in Lyme. Please please take notice of these re-occurring reviews and stop creating the fish until it's burnt dark brown batter it's tasteless pointless and will lose you custom and with so much competition that might not always float you.

My family and I got fish and chips and sausage and chips with gravy and it was so good! The fish was super fresh, the gravy was brilliant and the chips were perfect! We highly recommend this lovely place. Best fish and chips in Lyme Regis!

Delicious fresh fish cooked without batter on the griddle served with gluten free chips. Best In Lyme Regis for sure!

Stopped by here on Easter Monday and was so impressed by the food we went back today for another load!!! 😂 Food doesn’t leave an after taste or repeat due to the clean vegetable oil and freshness.

How many fish and chip restaurants sell freshly caught hand dived scallops? This place is amazing - the fish was caught fresh on the same day and landed at Lyme, and cooked while we waited. The owner open the take away in rubbish weather and prepared our food really well. Includes lemon and tartare sauce for touch of class

This big double hut building was proving very popular with visitors as it was situated just around the corner from the RNLI Lifeboat.Had nice meal & it was quick service.Fishcake & chips £5.10, fish & chips £7.00 are more than double the cost than at a normally chippy in Birmingham.Just because you have a captive audience doesn’t mean you should rip people off either.

Been here loads of times and the food is fantastic. Unfortunately, even at peak times, they have no concept of planning ahead. They could easily cook some chips and fish, the popular sellers, ahead - given the demand, which is totally warranted given the quality of the food, it wouldn’t be sitting around for any length of time at all. I get the freshly cooked thing, but at peak times, planning ahead would provide a better service without reducing the quality of the food.

Popped in this evening for fish and chips for 2. It was cooked freshly for us and well worth the wait in the cold. Really nice staff too. Situated just behind harbour masters office so slightly off the beaten track. Well worth a visit.

Visited The Fisherman's Wife for the second time this weekend and we were not disappointed! Food was freshly cooked and piping hot! I had grilled sea bream and it was delicious! The chips are fab too! Everyone was delighted with their meals - I look forward to a return visit in the future.

Really good cod and chips , freshly cooked. friendly and helpful staff. Takeaway perfectly located to go and eat on the Cobb.

You order & get given a ticket. When your order is ready your number is called. It's not a hard system at all. The food Is cooked to order so be prepared to wait for it. All four of our group enjoyed our food. Decent portion size. Lovely crisp Batter & crispy chips but not too well done. Asked for the Fish to be skinned & it was no problem at all. They have different Fish & seafood on offer each day depending on the catch! Quirky little establishment that we visit again if ever in the region.

Weekend trip to Lyme, was at Cook so this was closest place Had Fish and chips, freshly cooked to order

Frozen chips, Still raw, waited half hour for our chips even though we was the only ones in the que.

My fish fanatic 12 yr old son spotted the hand dived Scallops cooked in Garlic butter, served with chips. Popped by at lunch on way to Monmouth Beach, we were not disappointed! Scallops were succulent, sweet, fantastic and great value! Lovely fish menu too! Great Takeaway and worth the queue!

Next to the local shops, wouldn't have known it was there being next to a road apart from alot of signs advertising there large range of food, we decided to stop and get a bite to eat, a complete waste of money and such a rude lady at the till. We ordered a portion of chips, being the only customers we expected to wait a couple of minutes for the chips to be cooked fresh for us, after we placed our order with the lady who seemed to care less about it, who then started arguing with the staff! We waited for over 5 minutes for what I can assure you are the most unpleasant chips I've ever had, a soft skin and a thick center, a decent amount for the money you pay but wouldn't feed them to the family pet! Luckily we didn't get a full meal from there as shortly after saw an elderly gentlemen with a fish from there that looked like a burnt child's portion. Such a shame in a beautiful area.

A single passing visit very very nice . Great chips good prices - they do grilled fish as well as fried and also catches of the day

Good size medium portion for £2.40, or £3.60 for a large. freshly cooked - very nice. Right on the cobb so not far to walk after being on the rib boat.

I love the range of fish they have here, all fresh and change all the time. My favourite was the flakey, fresh rock salmon nestled on a big portion of light fluffy chips. Would highly recommend!! Also a great selection of diet drinks. When you get bored of the usual fish and chips they also offer jacket potatoes and breakfast baps.

We had cod and chips , chicken nuggets and chips and jacket potatoes with cheese , best tasting food in Lyme Regis . the staff were polite ,friendly and helpful . highly recommend this place to everyone

We have been visiting Lyme Regis for a number of years and come at least 3 or 4 times each year. These fish and chips are the best that we have ever tasted. The sea bass was delicious grilled so much so we came back the next day to eat it again. The scallops in the garlic butter were perfection and a great portion size. The chips amazing. All fish straight off the boat and prepared by the fisherman's wife. The best fish and chips in Lyme by far. A must visit.

The food is cooked fresh to order and at a high quality! It was enforced by the welcoming reception from the staff, who create a friendly atmosphere. Would recommend over all the fish and chip bars on the seafront.

Visited the Fisherman's wife on a sunny day and by 6:30pm they had sold out of fish. They catch the fish themselves so there is a change in the fish available. It is a take away only and each order is cooked fresh. I had scallops cooked in garlic butter, they were very well cooked and the garlic butter on the chips was a new experience. My husband had hake, batter was good and crispy. He loved the chips, I thought they could be better. But it was great sat on the cobb eating fush and chips. Don't be late there may not be anything left !

I had checked the fish and chips reviews on here first before choosing which one to go with as there are so many to choose from and wasn't disappointed. We left it till quite late on Saturday night it was just after 8 so no cod left so went for sea bass which was delicious and cooked fresh. Chips were some of the best I've had.

This is by far the best take away in Lyme Regis, a little more expensive but well worth it the fish is catch of the day depending on what you order, cooked really well by a jolly little lad and friendly staff.we had haddock and chips served with fresh lemon slice and tartare sauce I had scallops cooked in garlic butter and served in a shell with lovely well cooked chips Lemon and T. sauce. It was so tasty, we sat looking out over the cob what could be better ,a bottle of wine was the only thing missing. Well worth a visit. Will make this a regular visit.

Having used the other excellent Fish bars by the harbour we thought we'd give this one a try. Everything is cooked fresh to order so expected a wait. We ordered the Haddock & Chips, when it arrived after quite a long wait, it was worth every minute of that wait. The batter was superb, the fish even better, the chips were very good. A very large portion served up in a box with a wedge of lemon & a sachet of tartae sauce. Enjoyed with relish, sat on the beach in glorious sunshine. Perfect.
