This is hands down the BEST fish and chips spot I've ever eaten atNever greasy, and so much fish with every bite.

Love this place, you can actually find the fish. Owner is fantastic very friendly and good is delicious

The fish and chips is less battered here than other places so it's really up to your preference.
