About James' Fish Bar
On Three Tuns Ln in Liverpool, James' Fish Bar is a fish and chips takeaway that also runs a menu of chow mein, fried rice, and stir fry dishes, with pineapple fried rice offered as a speciality. Fish is cooked to order, and plates such as steak pudding with chips and gravy, salt n pepper chicken, and battered fish round out the board, typically served with a mix of meat, vegetables, and sauce. Other options include egg roll, boiled rice, stir fry vegetables, stir fry bean sprouts, and chilli beef. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservations. The shop opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays. Inside, the menu board differs from the printed takeaway menu, with its own separate pricing, so it is worth checking which list a given order is coming from before paying.

“Good food and great staff. Pineapple fried rice a speciality!”
- Carol Reddaway
“Fish and chips really good but the meals very disappointed. Minimal amount of meat in 2 different meals. Mostly vegetables and sauces to both meals tasted exactly the same even though …”
- Ian Bradley
“Absolute crap! Server was munching wasps when taking the order. £28.00 for 4 x chips, 1 x fish, 1 x curry, 4x sausages. Sausages from the night before still needing a 2nd warm up. …”

“Ordered from here a few weeks ago as it my Nanna's closest chippy and she likes the steak pudding, chips and gravy here. It's not a bad place, good selection of tasty dishes at competitive prices and wouldn't hesitate to order from here again 👍 There unfortunately wasn't a menu anywhere I could find online so had to pop in to see what they had. Fortunately the staff there were really helpful and managed to give me an old menu to take back so my auntie, uncle and cousins and I also took pictures of all the menu boards as the menu was slightly different and a bit more expensive than the version I was given. But it was still greatly appreciated ❤️ We ordered a big selection of dishes: steak pudding, salt n pepper chicken, chow mein, fried rice, egg roll, boiled rice, battered fish, stir fry vegetables, stir fry bean sprouts, chilli beef, and more. Food was tasty and 5 out of 6 of us enjoyed our meals. Unfortunately instead of the chilli beef we got a beef curry and a side of curry sauce was missing from our order. I had a good meal personally, but could have been better. Next time I will make sure the order is 100 percent correct on pickup. Thanks for a good meal. Hope next time it is a 5/5 😁”

“To be fair it was pretty quiet when I was here so the service was quick & efficient but then again its quick & efficient when they are really busy. The staff are great & work brilliantly as a team The food was piping hot & they cook the fish to order & my hubby said it was some of the best fish & chips he's ever had. The chips were fresh from the frier & were delicious, they made a yummy chip butty. I've always gone to this chippy & its very rare that you don't enjoy the food.”
