Quick info
About Ocean Wild Fish Bar
On Old Torquay Road, a few streets back from Paignton’s main road, Ocean Wild Fish Bar is a fish and chips restaurant run as a walk-in counter. The kitchen follows a northern approach, frying in beef dripping and serving cod and chips as the central plate. Delivery is available, with phone orders taken between 5 and 8.30 pm, and a Sunday special pricing applies to the day’s menu. The shop is run by an owner from Leeds, bringing that style of fish and chips to the south coast.

“First rate fish and chips, fried in beef dripping - the tastiest, crunchiest way. Fish was succulent, batter perfect and the chips were amazing. The owner is from Leeds and serves proper northern-style fish and chips on the south coast.”
- Alan Curnick
“Fish dry and batter very oily but chips were amazing. Batter just stuck to greaseproof paper. Fish was very disappointing.”
