  “Genuinely one of the best fish and chips I've had in a while. The fish was incredibly fresh, flaky, and cooked to perfection—you could tell it hadn't been sitting around. The batter was light, crispy, and not greasy at all. The curry sauce was a perfect match and honestly took the whole meal to another level. It wasn't overpowering, just enough spice to complement the fish. The tartare sauce was creamy, fresh, and had a lovely herby flavour too. The portions were generous and excellent value for money—we definitely didn't leave hungry. We also tried the calamari, which was crispy, tender, and well-seasoned. Friendly service and great quality all around. We'd definitely come back!”

  “Overall, it was an okay experience. The fish and chips were good, but I felt they were quite expensive for what you get. I’ve had fish and chips from local takeaway shops that were just as good for a lot less money. The chips weren’t really my thing because I prefer thinner fries, but they also didn’t seem to be cooked that well as some were a bit uneven. The milkshakes were okay too. They weren’t bad, but they didn’t really stand out either. Overall, the food was decent, but I don’t think it offered great value for the price. It wasn’t a bad meal, but I was expecting a bit more considering the cost.”

  “Super fresh and delicious fish and calamari! The triple cooked chips were really good too. Underrated imo because the fish and calamari were so good… Possibly the best we’ve ever had!! Would 100% go back if we’re ever in Brighton again. (We ordered the Fish Supper for 2 - £40)”

  “This was only half the meal deal for two. I’d eaten the scampi’s before remembering I wanted to take pics. The food was outstanding. Clearly freshly cooked to order. The staff were friendly and this is definitely the best fish and chips I’ve had in Brighton. It feels contemporary rather than traditional. Very high quality. Coley was catch of the day and it matched the haddock.”

  “Nice fish and chips around the brighton area, price is on a higher end, However I think it worth the price. Ordered the haddock and chips, usually i order cod but they dont have cod available. Chips are thick cut. The haddock is surprisingly nice, the batter doesnt look the best, but taste is nice. Will visit again if in brighton area.”

  “The food is absolutely amazing! My first try of fish & chips. Very fresh! And the boss is so nice and responsible. Because the restaurant was busy and my order is accidentally not confirmed, I wait for a while. But the boss generously waived the bill after realizing this situation. This is the most wonderful and delightful experience in Brighton! Highly recommend this restaurant!”

  “Really fantastic fish and chips! Not your usual chippy - the price is closer to what you would pay in a pub, but the quality is unmatched and the portions are incredibly generous (I actually couldn’t finish it 😆) Food arrived quickly after ordering despite the restaurant being fairly busy. The chips were fabulously crisp with fluffy centres, the accompanying tartare sauce was fresh and zingy, and the mushy peas were spot on. The fish was cooked beautifully, but had the skin left on which I’m personally not a fan of - this may not bother some people, but just wanted to flag for anyone with similar preferences to me! Really good quality beer on draught - it pairs perfectly with the meal. I would definitely return here! 🐟✨”

  “Great fish and chips, awful service. We were at brighton to film a music video and wanted to have fish and chips which seemed like the most obvious choice. Checking google reviews we decided on coming here. When we came the time was 4:35, we were aware they were closing in 25 minutes and didn’t mind being fast with our food. The waiter was colder than a fridge (the one with bangs short hair and piercings), and so rude! When I asked her if there was any tissues to wipe the table cause it was quite messy so kindly, she looked pissed and told me there was a sign stating to wait being seated (I attached a picture of) which you wouldn’t even read unless you are really carefull. I told her this was out first time here and we were sorry, she didnt even say anything back! She didn’t bother bringing cutlery with fish and chips till I went and asked myself and then she just threw them to the corner of the table all together!!! Unbelievable. Working in hospitality and service for years now I just can not bother how you can be so rude to someone thats coming towards you so kind. You can be tired, done with your day and still manage not to be this unkind. I am really dissapointed and solely wouldn’t be back because of this reason. Shoutout to the guy who was so kind and was wiping down the glasses behind the counter! He was the only one worth being talked to. When it comes to the food the fish was cooked good but the chips were slightly overcooked. Mush was great and i think overall it was good.”

  “After living in the UK for twenty years, this was the first time I'd eaten such delicious fish, fresh and not oily. This restaurant serves truly delicious fish, with a very generous portion for the price. The service was very friendly. I highly recommend this place and will definitely eat there again.”

  “Amazing from start to finish! We came with a craving for fish and chips, but got distracted by the roll mop (pickled herring) and vodka starter. I’ve (usually unwillingly) had a LOT of pickled herring over my life, but this one was actually a treat: fresh and not “fishy” and made with pickled onions which paired beautifully. The ice-chilled glass for the vodka is a great touch! We had a craving for seaside fish and chips, which RYBKA also executes perfectly: our Supper For 2 included locally-sourced fresh fish in a golden batter which melts in your mouth alongside crisp-on-the-outside and fluffy-on-the-inside chips, and delicious spiced breaded calamari strips. The mushy peas and curry sauce are great accompaniments for it all, but the real star is the homemade tartar sauce! Also keep an eye out for the craft beer collaborations on the menu. Generous portions and genuine warmth and kindness from the staff and owner - both towards one another and to every customer we saw. Our stomachs and spirits left full and I can’t wait to return during future visits to Brighton 🐟❤️”
