Quick info
About Smart Fish Bar
Smart Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway in Clevedon, at 10 Old St. The kitchen cooks fish to order, so each portion is fried when it is requested rather than held ready. Cod and haddock are both on the menu, served with chips and available in a small or a large size. Mushy peas come as a side. Gluten free options are available for customers who avoid gluten, which lets them order from the same fish and chips menu as everyone else.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the cod and haddock with chips, praising crispy batter, proper chips and portions they call large, with one weighing a meal at over a kilo. Close behind are the mushy peas and the lemon wedge, and several note the food was not greasy or soggy. Families mention a kids meal big enough for two small children to share and good gluten free provision. Staff are described as friendly and efficient, and one reviewer says the wait was about five minutes before taking the food down to the front. The caveat is consistency and value: one reviewer found the large cod and chips nearly all batter with very little fish inside, another said the fish was dry, the batter felt old and the chips seemed left over from lunch, and a regular noted prices creeping up over repeat visits. One couple even got engaged on the seafront after finishing their takeaway.

“It was my birthday so visited for the second time and this time, as well as the previous time, the fish and chips have been fantastic. Very large portions for £10.40 and well cooked. Chips are proper and batter is crispy, you even get a wedge of lemon, which is a nice (free) extra. I did confuse the young lady on the til as I cannot stand fish and chips in cardboard boxes so asked for no box (I tend to be able to taste cardboard). I don't think she could grasp what I meant. However, the more mature lady (I am very polite) remembered me from the first time and knew what I wanted. I even weighed the meal and it was just over 1kg!! Will definitely be going again, but not too soon or I will end up fatter - LOL....... UPDATE PHOTOS AFTER EACH VISIT. UPDATE - Fish and chips now £11.20 UPDATE - Price for fish and chips now (13/09/25) £11.70. Same price on 15/11/25. UPDATE 10/01/26 - Fish & chips now £12.10 and large battered sausage is £2.40. Fish was a little dry but could have been my fault. It was a cold evening so blitzed it in the microwave - possibly for too long 😝. 14/03/2026 - Fish and chips now £12.70 but still a large portion. 16/05/2026 - Had haddock for a change. £13.10 and as good as ever. Weighed over 1kg so "bang" goes the diet 🤣 05/06/2026 - National Fish and Chip day so treated myself. Cod and chips £12.70. New staff members who are very professional.”
