Quick info
About Ocean Fish Bar
Ocean Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway in Ilford, at 157 Ley St. The shop is counter-only, with no sit-in area, so everything is ordered to take away. Fish and chips anchor the menu, and the chips come with garlic sauce, chilli sauce or curry sauce. Chicken donner, kebab and wings sit alongside them for anyone after something different. Food is cooked fresh, so a wait is common when the shop is busy. Ocean Fish Bar opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draw the most praise at Ocean Fish Bar, with reviewers repeatedly pointing to batter that stays crispy even when wrapped and carried home. Large portions come up again and again, as do the chips, which diners enjoy with curry sauce, garlic sauce or chilli sauce. Close behind is the chicken donner, described as juicy and succulent, while the wings and a dirty kebab with chilli sauce also earn mentions. Several longtime customers say they have come back for years, some after moving away, and they describe the owner as polite and accommodating. Reviewers call the staff welcoming and ready to serve as soon as someone walks in, and one notes the place looks clean. A few say the shop has an old classic feel that they prefer to modern spots, though one wishes there were somewhere to sit and eat. One reviewer mentions that food cooked fresh means a short wait, and another says the fish and chips were the best even though they are allergic to fish.

“Been going to this place for the last 30 years. Yes been to other fish and chips bars but even after moving home we still find out way back. The owner is very polite and accommodating the fish and chips always cooked to good standards, Large portions for a the price you pay, always leaves you coming back for more. If your in the area don't even hesitate. Also don't be put of by the old classic feel of the place, it's these old school places that still have the little something that other modern places lack.”

“Oceans will always be the fish and chips of choice for me. I don’t know what it is but no other fish and chippy comes close. Oceans manage to get the batter crispy every single time. Perfectly seasoned and it manages to STAY crispy despite being wrapped and piping hot on the journey home. The chips are great with whichever sauce you choose to have. Personal favourite for me is the curry sauce.”
