Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to The Frying Pan mainly for the haddock and chips, praised as consistently tasty, with crisp batter and huge portions. One reviewer says two fish with a small chips and a small peas easily feeds four. Close behind is the speed of the friendly staff, who move large group orders out quickly even on busy Fridays. Others mention a large donna kebab and a battered sausage that wasn't greasy, and a plaice that was fresh and worth a journey from elsewhere in Grimsby. Queues come up repeatedly, with one reviewer waiting an hour on Good Friday and still calling it the best chippie they had used. A couple of recent visits fell short. A long-time customer found the fish much smaller as prices crept up, likening it to a goldfish in haddock batter, and another threw away half their chips because they were hard, with the fish below the usual standard. Even so, families describe it as their go-to chippy, and one says the kids cleared their plates.

“Such a good chippy. Was in Grimsby but made the journey over to try the plaice (haha) so worth it. Fresh, massive portions, so tasty. I want another just writing this review! A must visit!!!”

“I will say we have been coming to the frying pan for 10 plus years and tonight was the first time I have been disappointed as the fish must have been a gold fish dressed in haddock batter. Sorry guys but very disappointed prices go up fish getting smaller.”
- Amanda Roberts
“Very disappointed with tonight's fish and chips .Ended up throwing half the chips away as they were all hard Fish wasn't up to the usual standard either”

“Stopped off today whilst delivering to a local lady and her daughter. Found by pure chance and have to admit they are some of the best fish and chips ive ever had and ive covered 90% of the uk now.”
