The Shrewsbury Fish Bar in Shropshire

Some of the best fish an chips in town, don't need to say anymore Ok a little more iv been going regularly for years apart from being good staff are friendly and helpful with a good attitude big plus in my book

Lovely and clean, food cooked fresh when ordered, best place for food like this 😋

Many thanks again guys, the chicken kebabs we're spot on. I know you get busy but, we enjoy your food. From the Scottish lad with subtitles 👌

First visit after moving back to Shrewsbury, went for the Chicken tray with chips. It was a great choice as chicken was excellent & very tasty, chips were very good, salad & sauces where plentiful & my dog really enjoyed his sausage too. 👍👍👍

Fantastic food one of the best in the area

Freshly cooked fish very good service

First time l have been, was recommended by family, the fish was cooked perfectly alot of chips apart from that, one very satisfied customer, will call again

Chips were anemic and raw in places, won’t be coming back. Reabrook chippy is better.

Really nice kebabs with plenty of salad and sauce fish and chips are really nice and not to expensive

Great tasting food and great value for money!

Just wondering why they take phone orders to not purse them? I rang at 5.20pm, they said i could collect my order 6.40pm. Arrived at the time asked to not receive my order until 7.20pm… 40 minute wait on top of the hour and 20 minute call ahead. Why give someone a time when they can collect their order for it not to be ready? It hadn’t even been started. Absolutely appalling. If this is a continuous issue i wouldn’t bother taking over the phone orders because clearly this is not good enough for a take out. Very annoyed. *Updated after they've commented... my waiting still occurred for a further 20 minutes after i had been acknowledged. The order hadn't even been started despite ordering ahead and being given a time slot.

Amazing food, freshly cooked and very tasty! Wouldn't go any where else. Staff fab and friendly 😁

Food was absolutely lovely and the amount was really good would definitely use again and recommend to anyone

Nice well cooked good size fish small chips one of the best go now

Best fish and chips in Shrewsbury

There are many exceptional fish and chip shops about, but occasionally, I discover one that stands out from the rest. The Shrewsbury Fish Bar is remarkable for numerous reasons. To begin with, the staff were exceedingly friendly, helpful, and efficient, preparing a variety of meals, including the fish, fresh to order and cooking in 100% rapeseed oil. They do not compromise on quality, from maintaining a pristine establishment to opting for environmentally friendly packaging solutions like cardboard, paper, and paper carry bags over plastic. Naturally, the food was the centrepiece, featuring a light and crispy batter enveloping cauliflower bites, mushrooms, and a selection of fish. I opted for the haddock, which was bursting with flavour. The portions were generous, with no skimping on any detail. There is parking to the front of the chippy . Overall, it was a marvellous experience, and I have no doubt that I'll return whenever I find myself in the area, or even remotely close.

Best chippy in Shrewsbury Telford or Market Drayton

Cod and chips. Pretty good. Freshly fried. Nicely wrapped.

This is our go-to chippy when we holiday nearby. The Irish sauce draws us in every time. Beautiful chips, light batter. Wish we had a chippy like this near home.

Great quality food, very popular so be prepared for a short wait but we'll worth it.

Foods great, but now they've increased their prices during the coronavirus pandemic we shall be customers no more. Currently wants, in the middle of a cost of living crisis, £8.50 for kebab meat and chips in a tray. Pure greed. Vote with your feet and go to Queen's chippy on Shrewsbury business park, nearby, alot cheaper, and better food. In response to your unprofessional reply, there's others out there that do better fish & chips for less, and your response just shows you as a complete 🔔🔚

This was our go to chippy when we lived in Shrewsbury! Stopped by today for fish and chips on our way home to Wales Excellent fish and chips perfectly cooked. Thoroughly reccomend Thankyou!

Excellent service plus delicious food. Highly recommended 👍

We ordered nearly four dozen portions of fish and chips for an event we were running. The fish and chips were beautiful, the staff incredibly helpful and we all enjoyed our portions.

Well worth the ten minutes' walk from Shrewsbury Town's ground. I had one of their specials, the 'Pie Box', which was good value, well-cooked and plentiful. Oh, and Bristol Rovers won 2-0 so, Happy Days!

The food in the main was very nice. The standard is usually pretty high as we’ve used them before. My daughter was very disappointed to find that her sausage had not been included in the bag with the rest of the food and and the one fish was very batter heavy. The staff are very friendly and it won’t stop me going back but it is a little annoying.

Quick service at a fair price! The food was freshly cooked to order, piping hot and absolutely delicious! Me and my mum stopped here on our way home from shrewsbury, and will definitely be visiting again! Also, those cheese and onion pasties are to die for!

This is my favourite fish and chips shop in the area!

Very good service. Long queue. Must be popular.

The best chippie in the town. Fish batter as light as a feather, chips well cooked, great, friendly service. The owner prides himself on using rapeseed oil as opposed to saturated fat used by other establishments, which makes the food lighter and tastier. Not on my side of town but worth driving past the opposition to get there.

Fish was nice but chips need a little more cooking little hard

Think I've found my new fav Chippy. The Irish Curry Sauce is delicious and the Chips amazing. Thanks guys 🙂

**** UPDATE… after the manager contacting me straight away last week, offering a free meal and him personally cooking (the lad last week is still training) we went back tonight and the food was beautiful. We will be back again! Well…. Wasted £16 on fish that was batter. The 2 large fish probably had less fish in than a fish from Aldi and the small fish had about as much fish as my thumb. Disappointing when you’re only treat night is a Friday and it’s ended up being batter. The chips were okay and the sausage (because it wasn’t in batter)

Yay! Gluten free fish and chips. They didn't even have the separate vat on, but they fired it up just for me. And made zero fuss about it! Thanks so much, guys!

Absolutely yummy! Best fish and chips in Shrewsbury and so professional.

Great fish and chips from here last night. Big portions.

Bit of a wait for food but by god, it was worth it. 10 out of 10. 👍🏻

All ways enjoy the fish. Always have great fish from there

Top chippy great food good value

1st time i popped in for my tea, lovely people, & really enjoyed my food, highly worth a visit 👍

Having recently moved to the area from near Whitby, who are renowned for their F&C, I was a little dubious about what to expect. Tonight was my second visit to the Fish Bar and both have been brilliant. The fish is cooked perfectly with a light, none greasy batter and the chips were hot and crispy. 5⭐️

Wonderful to enjoy a Gluten Free fish and chips on a Monday Its brilliant quality, thank you for the effort put into my meal. Much appreciated

The first fish and chip experience since the beginning of COVID, and coincidentally, on the return journey of my wife and myself from our 8pm 5th COVID vaccinations. We live 2.6 miles from the Shrewsbury Fish Bar, and there were 10 other chip shops to choose from on our way home. Online research led us to choose this particular outlet. The website was very encouraging despite some negative comments about the small fish size which failed to point out that at that time all chip shops were in a similar position due to the quality of available supplies. The photos suggested a very clean establishment but couldn't do justice to the actual experience. As the phrase goes "eat off the floor" - in this case not a health issue. The floor was immaculate, as were all the walls and appliances. Our order was for haddock and we had to wait for them to be cooked (as is usual in every other chip shops). Within that waiting period I was very impressed to see that the very, very friendly staff were constantly wiping down surfaces and cleaning utensils. Because of the waiting time I was offered the choice of remaining in the shop or having my order brought out to the car, (I am 74 years old), but chose to stay in the shop. It was a pleasure to do so and see how an efficient, pleasant and happy owner and staff worked well together. As to the order for fish and chips. Wow. Huge fish and likewise the "small chips" order. Impressive was the explanation why the order was being double wrapped and then double bagged because of the length of time it would take for me to drive home. The quality and taste of everything was exceptional and not only do you have 2 extremely satisfied human customers but also a very contented cat. Whilst waiting I noticed commendations placed in an area most people would probably not stand in and so be unaware of them. Several years worth of commendations for quality etc. My view is that in only awarding 5 stars I am not doing them justice. They obviously care about their customers getting an all round quality of care and overall satisfaction. Finally: My review is based on my experiences throughout England, Scotland and Wales both in a working and holiday capacity.

Top quality fish and chip shop.

The best fish in Shrewsbury. The only place we'll go for fish and chips now. Perfectly cooked. Well worth the wait when the queue is down the road.

Showed my mate the size of the fish I had. His response, "oh well, worse things have happened at sea" Something pretty tragic must have happened to this fish at sea cos there wasn't much of it left. The sharks must have gotten to it first and left me the flippin' flipper or something. Gluten free batter was non existent too. It looked like it has just been rolled in some sort of flour and chucked in the friar. Only saving grace was that the chips were decent.

Came in last week, gave my order in and I have one order in two separate bags, the young girl did the first order which was correct, then one of the girls who has been there for a while did my second order I wanted mushy peas and I saw her put curry sauce in the bag I asked her and she said she had put mushy peas I asked again and she snapped and said it was mushy peas, when I got home I was completely right and it was curry sauce I now wish I would of made her open it at the time to prove the customer is always right ....... also the way the staff speak to the young girls who are training is awful they discipline them in from of customers and are quite rude to them , at the end of the day they are young and need encouragement not to be shown up in front of the customers

We gave in to a craving for fish & chips tonight. Due to mostly favourable reviews we went here. The staff were friendly & efficient but the food, to our surprise, was a very great disappointment. The fish meat was cooked but impaired by an odd taste probably due to having been crooked in an oil of inferior quality or overdue for renewal, bordering on rancid? The batter was undercooked so apart from the ends was semi raw under the outer crust. The mushy peas tasted unpleasantly tired. Also the chips were pale & flaccid ie. not crisp on the outside but soft in the middle as they should be. Consequently we picked out the good bits but left the rest. I hope that this is a temporary aberration?

Good size fish chips ok soft how I like them Irish curry spot on The down side Tikka kebab horrible charcoal and very salty will go again but not for chicken kebab typical housing estate take away had better had a lot worse worth trying good portions

Honestly you can’t go wrong with this place, fantastic kebabs!

Great food really tasty will be back

Best chippy EVER it's official We're never disappointed. A lunchtime visit to Shrewsbury Fish bar keeps the office happy for the rest of the day.

The food and service is always top notch.

We're pretty spoilt for fish and chip shops in Shrewsbury and they're all pretty decent too but Shrewsbury fish bar is our favourite. The food is delicious and very well cooked and the portions are huge too - would recommend a visit.

Excellent quality food and very friendly staff. Would recommend

Our sons girlfriend is from Slovenia and has never had fish n chips. Used this chippy for the 1st time and WOW !!!! Best chippie I have ever used , great staff , great food and portion sizes that could feed a small army !!!! Cant recommend the food and service highly enough !!! Absolutely wonderful 👌👌👌

Really bad. Stopped coming here around 3 years ago after a particularly bad meal. This place started strong when they first opened up in Sutton Farm but it quickly went downhill. Decided to give them another chance tonight. Worst chips I think I have ever had, (and I've been to the Shire Fryer!) thinly cut and massively under cooked so the result is greasy soggy white potato clumps, basically oily mash potato by the time I got home. Fish was meh. So sad, used to love Ray's food.

Got takeaway for the first time, and holy cow you will not go hungry the portion size is huge, staff were lovely and friendly, and this was Xmas Eve too. Found my new favorite place, the fish and chips will not disappoint

Spotlessly clean. Excellent fish and chips.

Good fish and chips, what more is there to say?

Tried for the first time tonight and was pretty impressed. Fair prices and nice food. Will definitely use again 🙂

Lovely fresh chips for tea, great staff clean and friendly now pay by card and can pre-order to ave queues award winning

Great sausage, chips and scallop. Thanks for the upgrade Ray, see you next Saturday lunchtime with me wallet!!🙂

Lovely fish & chips, cooked fresh and big portions

Stood in a queue for 15 mins outside, only 2 people in front and it didn't move, no idea what they were doing inside, catching the fish I presume. Gave up in the end.

Best chippy I've come across in the town. Cooked to order. Nice batter on the fish. Always important!

Excellent gluten free fish and chips for coeliac disease sufferers. But beware large portion battered sausage and chips does not mean a large battered sausage, it means two!

The fish batter was appalling giving a disgusting taste to the chips. Not worth wasting money on it.

Really good quality fish with lovely crispy batter, portion should be large enough to satisfy the biggest of appetites.

Excellent fish n chips ! Definitely recommend this place !

Unassuming shop but 1st class food served quickly and pleasantly by clean and happy staff a must if you are in the area

I've had the pleasure to be one of Ray's customers for many years, even in a previous location. A great chippy, good selection, very conscientious, happy staff (unlike others in the area) and tasty value for money food. Portions are big and you won't regret going.

Great place to get your takeaway as this is my first visit the chicken and chips were cooked properly and tasted great. I also had their curry sauce which was great tasting. If you're looking for some reason to get chips and something pop down and give them a try

Great food good price and will definitely be returning

Best fish and chips in Shrewsbury!

Simply the best fish and chips in town. And a great donner kebab too!

The best fish and chips in Shrewsbury

Really great food and lovely pleasant staff

Really can’t fault this place. Great food; fish and chips are flawless. Fantastic people. Would be nice to have a system separating those waiting outside to collect food and those waiting outside still to order (e.g. sign in window saying those collecting/waiting for ordered food to stay on left, those waiting to order on the right).

Nice sausage, chips and gravy on a Saturday lunchtime. Polite and friendly service. Welcoming, clean and prompt service

What a chip shop. Great size portions. The fish and chips I had were beautiful.

5 stars are not enough. Perfect fish and chips. Portions are large and the food is so good you might have to queue.

Excellent service, great food. Highly recommended.

Just popped in for a quick Friday night takeout and these guys were highly recommended, have to say possibly the best fish & chips I’ve ever had, definitely going to be a regular 😁

100% fresh, Absolutely amazing , Only taken 3 years of living in Shrewsbury to find the BEST chippy, portion size is great Cheers RAY 😁

Pretty average. Chicken was overcooked and the chips weren't very good either.

Excellent chips and friendly staff and normally able to park near which is a bonus thank you

Fantastic fish, well cooked and decent prices

Chips cheese and Irish. Wow! Kids loved their fish/sausages and chips. My wife had some lovely lightly battered fish. All gave massive thumbs up. Mixed kebab was appreciated by gramps but too big for him to finish

Food spot on again time and time again taste improves social distancing works well unless your a newbie but most customers are polite to ask rather than walk in

First fish and chips since Lockdown (yes, that long). Lovely fish: the sort that slides off your knife (not that I used one). Great chips, perfectly done. Friendly, helpful staff.

Best fish and chips I've had in a long while! Came across them while visiting relatives in Shrewsbury. Wished they were based closer to me!

Been in today and have to say that the large cod was the best I've had in a long time! Excellent
