About Barracuda Fish Bar

On Ditton Lane in Cambridge, Barracuda Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway that also keeps eat-in seating for those who want to stay. The menu runs from cod and chips to spicy potatoes, doner, and potato wedges, with fish and chips offered in half, medium, and large portions. Chips come wrapped in old-style paper sheets. Payment is cash only, and the shop takes walk-ins rather than bookings. Temporary off-street parking is available while an order is being prepared, and the space is kept bright and clean.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return most for the large portions of cod and chips, with the chips described as hot, fluffy inside and just crisp enough outside, and the cod as crispy, moist and full of flavour. Close behind are the spicy potatoes and potato wedges, which one reviewer calls the best they've ever had, and a few mention the doner and a medium or half portion being plenty for a big appetite. Service comes up repeatedly as friendly and fast, and the shop is described as clean. Some reviewers compare it favourably with another chippy nearby, saying the chips here arrive hot without a wait to be cooked. The complaints are small but specific: one reviewer found the chips not crispy and wanting more time in the fryer, and another says a seven minute wait ran nearer fifteen and the fish was slightly overcooked. One reviewer also notes the shop is cash only. Several describe a gigantic paper-wrapped parcel of chips that could feed a family, and one says a request for just tomatoes and cucumbers was happily served.

    “Absolutely wonderful. Finding a proper chippy that does big fat chips with the kids ight amount of salt and vinegar with the crispies in the bottom, is not easy. Not to mention for £4.50 you get a gigantic parcel big enough to feed a family of four in the old skool paper sheets. Wow. Considering nowadays you pay £5.50 for a 'large' which comes in a tiny box which just about satisfies two small children. It's our first time at Barracudas and certainly not the last. Service was fast and they were seen cleaning inside the shop. Please stay as you are and don't change. If you don't stop off at Barracudas, you need to give your head a wobble!!”

    “Lovely service, always been super friendly. I wanted just tomatoes and cucumbers they were more than happy to service it to me with my weird pregnancy cravings 🤣, visited multiple times and they have wonderful chips never to mushy or to crispy. Would recommend for anyone who visiting Cambridge, or lives in the area!!”
