We ordered some fish and chips for our wedding reception and we couldn't have asked for a better place to place our order with. From the start the team were so helpful. But they made our day so so special due to their friendliness and kindness, for that me and my now husband are so grateful. Thank you guys for providing us with the most delicious reception dinner and for your generous hospitality! - Abbey and Will.

Having read great reviews for the Oyster Shell I had the £7.50 lunch special cod & chips today. I found the chips slightly chewy & the fish batter was so greasy that I peeled it off & just ate the fish (that was fine) I left half the chips & didn t try the mushy peas - there`s only so much disappointment a person can take!

So I’m in Bath for the first time in years doing the dad taxi thing for my daughter who’s attending netball trials at the university. Fancies some supper so googled fish and chip shops and the oyster shell popped up and I’m so glad it did. Ordered sausage and chips with mushy peas and they were outstanding. The chips chunky and fluffy and the Cumberland sausages & mushy peas so full of flavour. I should’ve had gravy but didn’t. Fantastic and highly recommended!!

Sadly we have noticed a real decline in the quality of food from this chip shop. Even as recently as a few months ago it was heads and shoulders above other chip shops in Bath. Pricey but worth it. The last few occasions we have had fish and chips from here we have been disappointed. Every time vowing to give it another go as it had been so fabulous. Not any more. The chips once crisp are now dry and not pleasant. The fish once thick and delicious is now thin and batter not so crispy. But still the big price tag. Sadly I do not know what’s happened to reduce the quality and execution of the food. But sadly for now you’ve lost a customer. It is with regret we say , In our opinion definitely not the best chip shop in Bath anymore.

Food is far to expensive for what it is. £15.50 for a fish and chips for one with curry sauce. I get their trying to go up market. But it was no better than any other regular fish and chip shop.

My wife and I ordered a takeaway this evening using the online click and collect, preorder option. The system was fast and easy to use and our order was ready when we arrived at the appointed time - 16 Minutes later. The Haddock was brilliantly fresh, bright, white, and moist. The batter was crisp, light, and tasty. The chips were chunky, golden, and moorish with a slightly nutty flavour. Presentation and packaging was excellent...no plastic in sight. We didn't eat in but the location and presentation of the venue is top. The price is what I would expect for a really good experince. We will definitely go again. Best Chippy in Bath.

Great chips and nice selection of options to go with it, including vegetarian fritter options. Definitely worth ordering in advance as they're clearly very very popular, and worth taking a bag with you as they charge extra for these (but they'll remind you to bring a bag with you anyway)

Really overpriced for a chip shop, it's not a gourmet restaurant even though the man at the back is wearing whites. The chips are starchy and not much fish, more batter than anything. Probably give one more year before there's a charity shop in its place , being honest with my review

Fancied fish and chips tonight with the wife, looking at the menu I though this is a bit pricey but thought it must be decent as it doesn’t seem like your average chip shop! After waiting 10 or so minutes I knew it was being freshly prepared to which is a must for me !! Customer service was great , the 2 girls serving was very friendly with smiles all around, the chef could of tried to smile though!! But I get it he’s a chef. After returning home to serve it up I was very disappointed the cod was more of a children’s portion size and there was certainly not enough chips! Which also could of done with a extra 5 minutes in the fryer! They looked how I looked when I was anaemic! Yes not good I know!! All in all for the price I paid which was near £12 for cod and chips I would not return! And also you have to pay 20p for a bag which should come with the price!! After all it’s not a plastic carrier bag where they have to charge for it!! And I was not the only one who refused to pay it either ! Cod taste 7/10 Cod size 1/10 Chip taste 5/10 Chip size 8/10 Chips cook time 1/10 Many thanks Barbara’s and Bob (o.a.p)

Easily some of the best fish and chips I've ever had, their tarter sauce is also excellent and definitely worth the extra cost. On the higher end of what you'd expect to pay for fish and chips but definitely worth it as a treat every now and then. Pleasant staff and you can see everything being made while you wait. Wait times are also very reasonable, from ordering it only took ten minutes to prepare. I will be returning to try the scampi soon!

Well it's super expensive, but it's a very good fish & chips, different type of fish depending on availability, very fresh, not bathed in oil, and the fries were well cooked I also love the cheaper local fish & chips too but if you want to treat yourself it's perfect. Remember to order because it quickly gets crowded in terms of ordering.

Fish and chips in Bath have been awful so far (way, way better in London, from whence we came) so I thought I'd try a delivery from this place, as it puts itself above the norm in pricing and marketing. And it's a sister to Scallop, which we've tried and found reasonably good. "Medium" cod and chips is £10.50. I was hungry and suspected it would not be substantial, so also ordered Scampi (which I hadn't noticed also came with chips). It was lucky I did, as the handful of chips that accompanied the small piece of cod was beyond pathetic. The fish was nice, but not much of it. Whilst their website waxes lyrical about the "Scottish langoustine tail scampi", it looked and tasted exactly the same as any other out-of-a-packet scampi. Even after a couple of minutes in a very hot oven, the chips were soggy, undercooked, and greasy. I expected mushy peas to be a home made "pea puree" of the type served in classy fish restaurants, but no. The standard out-of-tin type, and a tiny pot. An absolute rip-off of a meal. Premium pricing, but no better than the cheap and cheerful chippy down the road. We've been here 4 months and have finally found a great Indian. It seems, however, that great take away fish and chips don't exist here, unfortunately.

Sadly I write this review only because of the ludicrous 20% price increase. 6 weeks ago fish & chips were £9.95. Now, for the same fish & chips £11.95! I appreciate the cost of most things have gone up but for the humble fish & chips to have a 20% increase is sickening and for that reason I will not be going back & feel the owners should reconsider their increases!

I'll start by saying, I've had great take away for them in the past, this one, however, was bad, real bad. The cod, subjectively, was perfectly most and cooked, the batter however was flabby and wet. The chips were okay, your standard fair. Everyone knows that fish and chips is nothing without that light crispy batter, that's the essence of the whole dish. I'm so disappointed, not just because I've had good takeways before from them, but more because they're a 'premium' chippy... £12 is absurd even for the best fish and chips in the world, let alone sub par soggy garbage.

When the shops initally opened the fish portions were very generous. You really felt that the fish was the star of the meal. However each time we order the fish portions are getting smaller and smaller, (I thought that I had a child portion.).

I don't know how previous reviews were so positive, the fish itself was dry and chewy, the batter was soggy and had an odd texture. The chips were also soggy. I have had chips here before and they were awfully soggy. Peasedown deserves better.
