About Captain Cod
Captain Cod is a fish and chips shop in Manchester, on Stretford Rd at number 287, frying its cod and chips fresh to order. Because the fish is cooked when ordered, a wait is possible, and the staff hand out a few free chips to customers while it finishes. Orders are placed at the counter, where customers queue. Lightly battered fish is available on request. Donner kebabs are also on the menu, and they are non-halal. The shop opens Monday to Saturday during the day and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers center on the freshly fried cod and chips, describing fish that is crispy outside and flaky inside, golden chips full of flavour, and generous portions. Close behind is the non-halal donner kebab, which two reviewers single out, while another mentions a mixed meat naan and chips. One reviewer notes that a lightly battered fish is done on request. Service is called friendly and welcoming by most, though one new customer says staff did not take their order as they stood in the queue until the chef called out, and asks for improvement in customer service. That reviewer also finds the shop a bit pricey, and another says the fresh cooking can mean a wait. Several reviewers mention that staff hand over a few free chips while orders are being cooked.
