Got Mum steak pudding With chips The pudding was squashed and the chips were greasy and stale when I opened the tray. Disappointing

Steak Pudding and Chips. I really liked the rich, soft pudding. The chips were excellent and a decent portion size with a good amount of salt and vinegar. Exactly the kind of food expected from a proper chippy and great quality. Fast, efficient service by friendly staff. A clean, modern place. Quiet around lunchtime.

Decided to try here for a change from the usual chippy we go to as I'd read the good reviews but it was disappointing. We shared SMALL fish, chips, peas n sausage £9.60. There was loads left as it was greasy and unpleasant. I don't know if the oil needed changing? On the plus side the peas were nice!

I had a lightly battered fish. It was delicious. Can't fault it at all. In fact it's the best fish I've had in a long time

For the best part of twenty-odd years, this place was poor, but fair play to the new owners. They've filled a hole in what has been a dreadful town for proper chippies in recent history. I always give somebody two or three chances before offering opinion, but after the third time I'm happy to say that the chips and the gravy are the best I've had in years. Anywhere. If you haven't been since it became the New Fishician, give it a whirl. You won't be disappointed.

Having lived in the south for many years and here for a family visit, we were recommended this venue for classic "northern" fish and chips. Not disappointed. Beautifully fried large fish with a plentiful helping of chips. Nice people. No brainer.

This place has taken advantage of the new plastic legislation by increasing prices and getting very little for you money. £3 for large chips which is basically a tray of chips that was considered a small portion a 18 months ago. Rip off.

£3 for a large chips and this is what you get. Yes the cost of living has risen, but so do the prices. Pure greed. The chips were not good, lots were hard and tasted raw, and they were stupidly greasy. Everything we had was greasy. We won’t be back!

Fish, chips and curry £9 ! More batter than fish, soggy chips cooked in aged oil. Topped with the tiniest spoonful of curry. I am 60 and single, why such big portions, (apart from the curry), no advice given at all. They take your money with a wry smirk. NEVER AGAIN.

We used to use this chippy every time we went to Haydock Races but will not be going again since our last visit. The food quality has deteriorated somewhat and I can only agree with a previous reviewer regarding the new owner. One unpleasant,miserable, ignorant man. I would suggest culinary tuition and an urgent visit to charm school

Really nice chips but the scouse man (possibly the owner) is so miserable and unfriendly. Heard him bad mouth his customers on more than one occasion. Makes you reluctant to go in. Portion sizes vary depending who serves you but usually decent size. Every time I've been there's been a different woman serving whilst the miserable man ignores you until he begrudingly asks if anyone is having fish. Neutral review as I do think the food is good just a shame about the owner bloke.

Always friendly staff. Good menu at reasonable prices. A popular place to eat. I used to visit at least once a week with Grandchildren after swimming. More often it's hubby now yet when I visited after a break, I was recognised and made to feel very welcome. The owner asked about the grandchildren as he remembered them too. Our favourite chippy.

Went in on fireworks night, and my partner said he watched as the man behind the counter wiped his nose on a cloth, and then used that cloth to wipe down the whole work-surface. In corona times. Portion sizes were also small for the price, they only took cash, and they shut at 8pm.

Went for a Gyros, as i recently experienced an excellent one in Mcr. Very disappointed.... No chips in it (Meaning it was just a chicken kebab) and a portion size for a dwarf on a diet. Ended up filling up on a few slices of toast.....

Doing the Pitta Gyros as a special is a great idea but it needs to be a bigger portion and include chips - since that’s what comes in a proper Gyros (otherwise it’s just a chicken kebab). Friendly staff as always and will give it another go for sure.

Visited on a recommendation after a trip to Earlestown Market. Can honestly say, the best fish and chips outside of Whitby and Scarborough. The chips and fish were cooked from fresh, absolutely delicious, superb quality. The owners were really nice. After devouring the fish and chips, I had to go back into the shop to tell the owners how much we enjoyed it. I would highly recommend trying if you're in the area.

First time for chip shop chips for me in years! For some reason I fancied some so much it was worthwhile waiting in the queue. Luckily, an old neighbour was in front of me and we had a quick catch up. Only chips for me now that I am mostly vegan. I never liked fish anyway, but my husband enjoyed his and the mushy peas too. The cat even got some fish and devoured it.😄

Have not had fish and chips from a takeaway for many years, so entered the Fishician feeling a bit unsure. I need not have worried. My order was taken immediately, with some helpful input from the serving lady about the amount to order (I was going to have ended up with far too much otherwise). As it was, one portion of chips was more than enough for the two of us as I had ordered two large fish plus peas. The fish was lovely, batter not too thick, flesh firm and white. In future if I order I will know to request a small size portion of some items!

I had been to a family event in Newton and I was walking back to the bus stop on the High Street. The beer had been flowing freely that day which gave me an appetite. There was a lovely aroma coming from the Fishician so I crossed the road to take a look. I ordered fish & chips in a tray and ate them as I walked to be bus stop. I had to let one bus go by as I was still enjoying this lovely food. Some of the best fish and chips I have eaten from a chip shop. A really nice find.
