The Lime Crab in Ceredigion

Depending on what time of the day you visit it can get busy and you can be in for a little wait. Don’t let this stop you the food is stunning. My family has never had any complaints. Good service and great quality food.

Delicious fish and chips, with a range of Gluten Free options served everyday. Large fresh portions served with enthusiasm!

Perfect Chippy in the Perfect Location 👌🏽

Great food, the fish platter selection was fantastic! Nice that the tartar sauce was included

Fantastic food and well worth the wait. Sat and ate them in some of the table and chairs outside. Recommended.

Quick service absolutely delicious fish and chips size of children portion is satisfactory best fish every

The most delish chips!! I only ordered a large chips and curry sauce and they were absolutely fantastic! So crispy on the outside, I reckon I’ll be back tomorrow..!!

The fish was freshly cooked and superb! Chippies were way too plentiful.. not greasy and beautifully cooked, a wedge of lemon and a mini pot of Sauce Tartare included . What I do baulk at is the £2 pot of peas…. these are generally cheaper than chips (😀) … the size of the pot represented an Espresso shot. I suspect the presentation pot cost more… absolutely not justifiable. Note to owners… don’t diss the peas!

The Lime Crab was recommended to me by a few people and definitely worth a visit!! Lovely service and the food was well worth the money. Some of the nicest chips I’ve very had. Not the easiest place to park but have to bear in mind it’s a tourist seaside town. Will definitely be back!!

Had the fish platter, freshly battered tasty fishy bites...great menu.. Teas and coffees.. just of the quay.. Very dog friendly!!

Great fish and chips in New Quay, the cod was the biggest I’ve ever had and was very tasty. Unfortunately we ended up with the last of the day chips and no full chips but I guess that’s because we went right before they closed. Would recommend going well before closing time.

Service with a smile and great food

The biggest, freshest and most delicious cod we've had for a while. Strongly recommended!

The best fish and chips we have had so far! I had the seafood platter and my partner had a fish and chips. Absolutely delicious food, service was really good and friendly staff. If you are anywhere near this place you have got to try it!

Extremely tasty food, hot, plentiful and great value for money; the lady who took my order was friendly, cheerful, efficient and very honest; I didn't notice, but I was slightly overcharged, and this lovely came to where I was sitting, explained the situation, apologised and then refunded me in cash. Beautiful food, great service, we will definitely be back.

Delicious food, friendly customer service, good portion sizes, excellent value for money

Excellent fish and chips. With a little outdoor seating area too. Fabulous

Just excellent chips to enjoy by the harbour wall. Delicious with the curry sauce! Highly recommended. Well packaged for takeaway.

Been here many times and it’s the best fish and chips around ! A family favourite ! Great to sit on pier . Nice people and quick service !!

My husband and I enjoyed fish, chips and mushy peas between us, the portion was huge. The fish tasted absolutely beautiful, the batter was so light. We always stop by when we visit New Quay, always good quality!

Great food and at reasonable cost.

Family weekend stay, arrived early evening do decided on a fish and chip tea. We had the gluten free fish and chips as we have a coeliac in the family. All cooked to order and good size portions. Really good fish and the batter was perfect. Nice to find somewhere that has a good gluten free menu. Highly recommended

All three fish and chip shops within New Quay sell great cod and chips but this one does the best cod and my son is a big fan of their seafood platter. If you're just after chips, the Lime Crab's are more like the chips you get in a restaurant (roast-potato-like) rather than what I'd regard as the more traditional fish and chip shop fare which the other two chippies in New Quay provide.

Had Cod and chips and battered prawns and chips. Both cooked fresh and so tasty. Homemade tartare sauce as well. Good size portions, highly recommended. Only downside for me was the prawns are the same as you get in the supermarket so stick to the fish is my advice

Great to have a vegan option, and it's lovely and flavoursome too!

Good portion sizes, great quality and fairly priced. All in all I would recommend and look forward to revisiting 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Just had lunch at the lime crab as shown in the picture, I can tell you it was bloody tasty, really nicely cooked food. The staff were well happy too. Sat outside with the dogs, I feel satisfied until dinner now 😋

Very average. Fish and Chips not cooked to order. Very expensive for what it was - including Curry sauce - £13.80. Better food and value elsewhere.

Great location on the sea front at New Quay. Cod and chips was amazing…was all freshly cooked and you help yourself to salt and vinegar. Few tables and chairs to sit at and enjoy .

Gluten free fish and chips. Even had gluten free vinegar! Delicious

Great food, friendly and efficient staff. All food wrapped/packed in paper boxes/wraps.

Best fish & chips in New Quay! Consistently great fresh fish 🐠

Always great fish and chips here and a decent sized portion. Very friendly and professional staff. 👌. Highly reccomend the cod bites. Amazing batter on them!

the food we had was all the same colour...taistless.. what a let down after reading the reviews ... the chippy on the holiday park was better

Had gluten free cod, chips and peas for tea tonight, my son had the same only with normal batter. We ate at the tables outside watching the world go by and the waves crashing in to the harbour, perfect. The food was outstanding, the portions huge and very tasty. The complimentary tartare sauce was delicious too. The lady serving us was very polite and helpful. They even let my wife eat food from another establishment with us too.

amazing fish bites awesome taste and price

The best place in New Quay to have a fish and chips! Fresh and tasty! We will come back to Lime Crab every time… There are a few tables and chairs to sit down but it is worth to take it just a few metres away and sit on the bench and admire beautiful seaside or even be lucky and spit dolphins that coming close to the shore! Beautiful fish and chips and great value for money :-D

Lovely stop off point after a walk on the beach. Freshly cooked fish made to order, great chips as well. Plenty of options as well, my partner who is vegetarian had a Cypriot halloumi and chips.

Called in Thursday 3rd October, sunny late afternoon. Got sea-bass and chips and cod and chips, cooked to order. Large portion size but expected at nearly £25 in total. Cod was good. Sea-bass was very greasy and "fishy" (yes, I know, but it was a far stronger taste than previous sea-bass from elsewhere). Chips were under-cooked and greasy. The cardboard serving trays were soaked with fat/oil within a couple of minutes. Afraid we were underwhelmed after seeing all the reviews.

Me and my best friend/ brother cycled from Lampeter to new quay and we came to the lime crab to be welcome so nicely and by far the best chips me and my best friend have had in a long time

i know everyone raves about this place, but I must say that the fish and chips were very average. Rather greasy and neither were nice and crisp. Shame really as not that difficult to get right

Quick service, food fresh and piping hot as it’s cooked to order and the staff are great too. Really well priced for the portion size, quality and location - it’s obvious why this chippy is the busiest out of them all but I promise it’s worth the wait! Batter was light coloured with just the right amount of crunch and fresh white flaky cod inside served with proper chippy chips! They came with a lemon wedge and tartare sauce in a cardboard box - no polystyrene! There is a small section of tables to eat in or you can take your takeaway box round the corner to the harbour and watch the sea - if you’re lucky you might spot a dolphin or two as well! Two small points of feedback - the price of the calamari was quite high in comparison to other places. It would be nice to have the option of a larger portion of curry sauce as the tub is quite small. However, it is a good price and next time it means I’ll just order two!

Nice food, plenty of it. We had the mixed platter(didn't expect all those chips) which was great. Never had White Bait before, it's a tiny fish, cooked whole, what a lovely fishy taste, would definitely recommend.

Staying on holiday about 5 miles away so was looking for a decent takeaway, and I can safely say it is one of the best fish & chip shops I have ever been to , it was all freshly cooked and the piece of fish was huge , the chips were lovely and I highly recommend the curry sauce,all in all well worth the drive.

We're here on holiday. Delicious freshly cooked cod & chips served with tartar sauce. Very reasonable price for a seaside town. We'll definitely visit again.

After reading the reviews we were extremely disappointed by the quality of the food served to us. The chips were overcooked and had been standing too long. The pie had not much filling and the pastry was very dry. The fish was nice. Won’t be returning.

fabulous food, location, service! thanks people

The fish and chips are about without doubt the best in many years. The chips nice colour well cooked and no grease. The fish again lovely thin crispy batter and quality fish. The food is 10/10 but what spoilt it for me was the price of the mushy peas. The smallest of containers priced at £2 I felt exorbitant and hence the reason I did not give “Excellent”

Cod & chips £12 is enough for 2 people to be honest and was just average 3/5

Ordered chicken curry and chips, scampi and chips , while it was quiet. After 15 minutes of waiting, one of the staff of 6 came up and apologised that they were still waiting for the scampi. Another 5 minutes went by and finally we got our order . Disgraceful I think after waiting 20 minutes. Too many staff doing nothing and playing on their phones. 😤😤

Had cod and chips here today large portions probably to large and expensive tasteless cod with soggy batter and horrible tartar sauce won’t be going back there again

Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! Curry sauce was immense. Chilli mango prawns also a delight. Couldn’t recommend enough Only downside was that they don’t offer a bin outside and they supply the whole town with food.

Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! The chips had flavour and the batter was a good texture, not greasy. Definitely coming back to try the other options like chili lime crab and prawns.

Fantastic little fish bar! Food was incredible, beautifully presented and very fast service. So glad we stumbled across it. We'd like to return to try some other options on the menu - great variety available and good value for money.

Very tasty fish and chips. The chicken curry is stunning.

Gluten free options available! Good size portions, lovely food and happy staff

Great range 'specials' Lots of gluten-free options! Gluten free fish bites were delicious. As were the chili mango king prawns. Highly recommend!

The brother said the little nippers sausage was tasty and the halloumi was heavenly. There was a lot of choice, some of which I have never seen in a British chippy, such as chicken curry, lobster, prawns etc. my mother had the chicken curry and my acquaintance had the steak and ale pie. The fish smelt and look deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious.

Called today had cod and chips and curry the best I have ever tasted also had sausage and chips both were very large portions everything was cooked to order so didn't mind waiting would recommend very highly well worth the money

my partner had the fish platter, which she said was very tasty, rather large portion for her, i had the sausage and chips, both portions were large and tasty, the staff were friendly too, gave it that personal touch, plenty of space to chill and take in the views whilst having good local food, at a fair price,

Really fresh and lovely light batter on the fish. Great curry sauce!

Excellent quality fish and chips. Extremely clean operation. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable in allergen control and halal options. Only slight negative was having to eat the food in Extremely hot and sunny conditions as the seating is very limited.

The Lime Crab has the reputation of being the best place to get fish and chips and as vegetarians we were excited to see that they had halloumi on the menu. The ladies running the front of house where doing a sterling job keeping on top of the orders as it was super busy. I was watching something that looked like crispy battered halloumi being packed up for other customers. When our order was being packed up… I realised that what I had been watching wasn’t the halloumi and I was pretty disappointed that the halloumi isn’t actually battered at all it’s just deep fried what a crying shame! The halloumi was nice (chips pretty soggy and disappointing though) but OMG please consider battering it!!! It would be freaking outstanding!

Absolutely Bangin sea food plater! £13.30 well spent highly recommended 🦞 🍤🍟

Beautiful fish and chips, roughly £13 for cod and chips. Squid and chips was also lovely. Very little seating available.

Delicious fish and chips. Would recommend the haloumi too. Would be great if more undercover seating!

Quality fish and chips. Fish has a light tasty batter with good quality fish. Chips were lovely and fluffy with a crispy outside. Comes in a tray with tarter sauce and lemon. The best we tried in New quay.

Best cod, chips & tartare sauce, with a big fresh wedge of lemon. The mushy peas were nice too, but the curry sauce was absolutely delicious.

Had great scallops and chips. Very friendly staff and got a table with a sea view.

Good food . No bins and tables needed cleaning.

Yummy! Fresh, delicious, lots of variety to choose from. Very happy customers. Giving a 4, rather than a 5 as I would have preferred more fish and fewer chips, but it was still great. Ate it on the harbour wall whilst watching the dolphins. Perfect!

Great British food, and service. Always very busy which says a lot about the business. Everyone mingling outside chatting with strangers whilst your waiting for freshly cooked food is nice

Just ordered fish and chips and was amazed at the quality! The fish tasted fresh and the batter was crunchy but not too thick. The chips were what you would come to expect from a sea side fish and chip shop - delicious! The portion size was generous for the price. Overall, I don't have bad thing to say about this place. Would highly recommend.

Tried The Lime Crab based on the many positive reviews online. The food did not disappoint and we went back for more on pur last night! Perfect chips, huge portion of halloumi and absolutely delicious curry sauce.

Had a lovely meal on a weekend away. The food was amazing and so fresh. Found it to be reasonably priced and would definitely have it again! Special mention to the curry sauce which was great!

We stopped here today and what a delicious meal we had. The fish and chips were really good the best we have had in a long time. If in the area highly recommend.

Had heard so much about this place that I’d became sceptical….. turned out to probably have been the best cod and chips I’d had in years!

Love getting fish and chips here!

Great food. They do gluten-free options on most things. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Food was lovely and large portions.

Very near to new quay boat services and the beach. Nice small restaurant with 3-5 tables for seating outdoor. No indoor eating. Best to hang out in summer. Had lobster and chips and was yummy. Nice and fresh fish are served with proper masala . King prawns and platter was also nice. Accept card and cash . Near by pay and park available .

Quite possibly my favourite chip shop in the UK. Amazing menu that has a few dishes you wouldn't normally expect to find in a seaside chippy.

It's a long time since I've have such good gluten free fish and chips 🤩

Friendly, efficient service, immaculately clean and the best cod in batter I’ve ever eaten. The chips could have done with a bit longer in the fryer for my taste but otherwise great. And the menu choice is superb.

The food was fantastic and arrived at the time quoted when ordered, faultless. Highly recommended

Possibly the most expensive but best fish and chips I've ever had. The mango king prawns which I had were delicious. And the rest of the family's food was very good food indeed!

Delicious light crisp batter on our cod and sea bass, chips were very good too. Not cheap but decent portions and complimentary sauces. Price is what you'd expect at a seaside resort

The reviews we had read beforehand meant that our expectations were high, and we weren't disappointed the food was superb, the best fish and chips we've had in ages if not ever. The batter was light and crispy and the fish moist and beautifully cooked. As we're the chips, will definitely eat there if and when we next visit New Quay. Also a lovely setting overlooking the harbour, and as it happens even the sun was shining.

Best Fish and chips bar far. Highly recommend

Stood waiting to be served, was asked if I'd ordered even though she had seen me walk in. Said I hadn't and she told me to move to the other side of the counter which I did. She walked that way, ignored me and served someone who had walked in behind me so I walked straight back out and spent my money at the Captain's Rendezvous who were lovely and the food was perfect. Very rude. Would put zero stars for the lack of service but I can't.

A must to visit in New Quay. Good food at a good price

Friendly helpful staff. For the vegans they do chickpea goan curry with chips which was nice. They do separate chips if required so they aren't cooked in the same fryer as the fish. Would be nice to see at least one more vegan option like a battered sausage or banana blossom but they said they were looking into doing more in the future.

The staff are amazing and so curtious and friendly. The food is absolutely beautifully cooked and across the board, I would have to give the lime crab an absolute 10/10 5 stars staff and food

Chips had been warmed up not cooked fresh.

Without doubt the best Cod and chips that I have ever had. Cod cooked to perfection and must have weighed about 12oz. Excellent service and excellent value. Will be back!

Some of the best fish and chips I have had. Partner had cod and chips, I had the seafood platter. All cooked to perfection, good sized portions, staff friendly and, you can put your own salt and vinegar on, as much or as little as you want which is great. Sat outside and although it was drizzling with rain we were dry under the canopy. Good value and would definitely return when in the area again.

Fantastic food great service. Food was hot and fresh. Really good value for money and very generous portion. We will be back in July. We'll worth walking the 13 miles.

Bought two portions cod and chips one with mushy peas. Not impressed with cod - small thin pieces, poor batter and after taste of oil. Chips ok.

We had done a boat trip and decided to get a fish and chips lunch. I ordered two children's fish bites it was 13.00 for the two . The quality and size of the fish bites were brilliant. I had the fish and chips it was 11.50 included in this you get a wedge of lemon and a pot of a good quality tarter sauce. The fish was a really good size and a large portion of chips came with it . Everything was cooked fresh you get given a buzzer and this goes off when the food is ready . They offer you salt and vinegar to add yourself which I think is a nice touch . The staff were friendly and we didn't have to wait too long for our orders to be prepared.

What can I say except they do superb fish and chips and loads of other things too. Cooked fresh every time .Well recommended.

Amazing seafood! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommended
