Quick info
About Merchant Fish and Chips Shop Broughshane
On Main St in Broughshane, Merchant Fish and Chips Shop serves as a fish and chips takeaway for the Ballymena area. The fish supper comes with a portion of chips generous enough to make a meal on its own, and the chicken burger is served as a large portion. Cheesy chip gravy also features on the menu. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis at the counter, with no reservations taken. At busier times the fish can come out quicker and greasier than at quieter moments, a trade-off of the fast turnaround. Chips served alongside the fish remain a consistent part of orders across visits.

Customer Review Summary
Fish draws the most praise, with reviewers describing fresh fish in light, crispy batter, and a few calling it the best in town or in Northern Ireland. Chips are called fantastic, the cheesy chip gravy wonderful, and one reviewer calls the chicken burger enormous and great value. Portions are described as huge, so a single fish is enough for some, and staff are called friendly and attentive. The main complaints are grease and price. Two reviewers report fish dripping with grease, and one says it turns greasier when the shop is busy and fish is served quickly. Two find the fish supper pricey, one saying a similar supper elsewhere in NI costs less and the other that they won't be back, while a third finds the higher price justified. One reviewer also found the chips unremarkable. Another notes that a single fish often comes with a few chips.

“Chose to try here based on the recent award. Had a fish supper. Yes I knew what the price of £14.95, was before going in but willing to pay that to try, what I thought would be, the best fish in the NI. I have to say I was disappointed. It wasn’t horrible, definitely nice fish. Chips weren’t great. I just was left thinking what the fuss was about, I could easily get the same tasting fish supper at most established shops in NI for less of the price.”
