About The Fish King
The Fish King is a fast food restaurant on Nottingham Rd in Nottingham, serving on a walk-in basis. Fish and chips form the core of the menu, with both cod and haddock offered and substitutions made depending on what has just come out of the fryer. Portions of chips and fish run large. Beyond the fryer staples, the menu extends to traditional pies, sausages, battered sausage, chicken, chicken kebab meat, and mozzarella sticks, giving the counter a broader fast food range alongside the fish and chip offering.

Customer Review Summary
Chips are the main draw, described as thick and traditional, crispy outside and fluffy inside, with several calling them fresh and unchanged over the years. Chicken kebab meat comes close behind, along with battered sausage and mozzarella sticks, and reviewers repeatedly mention big portions and friendly staff, with one noting a beaming smile on every visit. The complaints are mostly about execution. One diner who asked for cod was offered haddock because it was already cooked, and found the batter soggy. Another received a large fish and chips by delivery with the fish a decent size but barely a small portion of chips, and felt in-store would have given more. One waited a long time as the only customer in the shop for two bags of large chips, and a delivery order arrived very oily. One kebab and mozzarella sticks order arrived without the can of coke that had been ordered.

“Ordered via uber eats. We were disappointed in general and it was very oily, mushy peas were strange and I now believe off, I now have severe food poisoning the day after. Uber eats decided refunding £2 on an order over £40 was the appropriate action.”

“Always friendly and helpful service from Hash, Alex and George. Great fish and chips. They've been there for 20 years and it's always good to support local businesses.”

“Super disappointed with the portion size of the "large" fish and chips. The smaller-than-expected portion was tasty in fairness but we 100% would have been given more if we'd gone in-store instead of ordering in. Half the family have colds so we opted for ordering instead of risking spreading our germs and this was just really disappointing. As per the photo, the fish was a decent size but the chips? Barely a small portion.”
