Quick info
About Lister Fisheries
Lister Fisheries is a fish and chips takeaway in Bradford, trading from 27 Lilycroft Rd and serving a menu built around fish and chips. The shop opens daily, so there is no closed day in the weekly pattern for orders. Mint sauce is the accompaniment eaten with the fish on that order. A chicken burger is also on the menu, which gives the order a choice that is not fish, for anyone who prefers chicken.

Customer Review Summary
Reviews lean negative, and the most repeated complaint is the food itself: reviewers describe chips as cold, soggy, or "green scrap potatoes", and fish as oily, bland, or burnt. One reviewer with years of chip shop experience suspects a cheaper fish than the haddock the staff insisted on over the phone. A few describe wrong or poor orders, including a chicken burger that was mostly batter and another that arrived as a cheeseburger, plus dry doner meat. Service draws complaints too, with one diner reporting almost 20 minutes for a single fish and being ignored when asking a question, and another objecting to extra charges for sauces and salad and chips served in paper. Praise is thinner but specific: one reviewer calls the Masala fish and chip butty with mint sauce the best they have had, and another likes the old school batter and better chips than a nearby chain, though the fish was small beside a large portion of chips. A long-time customer calls the staff great and the food decent for the price.

“Avoid at all costs. Got a chicken burger. There was no chicken it was all batter. Service is also awful. Staff think they know better! Would give 0 stars if I could. Wouldn’t even feed this to my enemy”

“Have been going here for many years. Staff are great and food is decent for the price”

“He puts the chips in paper, which is unacceptable. He also refuses to add mint sauce, saying it counts as a dip so he can charge extra. Honestly, this feels very greedy. I’ve been in this business for a long time and never expected this kind of service. He only adds chilli mayo on top and is always trying to charge extra for sauces and salad. Normally, you don’t charge when you put these on top of chips.”
