Quick info
About Trawlers Fish & Chips
Trawlers Fish & Chips is a fish and chips takeaway at 107 Foxhole Rd in Paignton. The kitchen cooks fish and chips fresh to order, so a short wait is normal, and the cod and chips comes with mushy peas on the side. Curry sauce is also available, and the menu lists battered sausage and pies for those who want something other than fish. Vegetarian options are on the menu too. Orders go out in paper and card packaging, and the shop works on a walk-in basis.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the cod and chips, with several calling the cod cooked perfectly and the chips just how they like them. Close behind is the portion size: a large cod with mushy peas, a shared large fish and chips, and a generous helping that wasn't too greasy or oily all draw praise, and one reviewer says a granddaughter rated the nuggets above McDonald's. Delivery is described as fast and piping hot, and one reviewer got a free extra portion with an offer. Opinion splits sharply on quality. Critics describe chips that looked barely fried, soggy and greasy, a pie that seemed microwaved and tough, and a sausage with overcooked skin. Others call the fish batter thick and floury with watery fish, and one says the crispy battered sausage coating was clumpy like chicken ball batter. One reviewer who liked the taste found about 20 chips and half a slab of fish too small for the price. One reviewer who judged the food poor still called the staff nice, and another found the large order came with mushy peas in a good-sized helping.

“Food is extremely nice but the portions sizes are extremely poor. Half a slab of fish and about 20 chips for £13 isn't justifiable”

“Staff were nice and the prices were OK but I’d give the food 3/10. Batter on the fish was thick and floury and the fish itself was a bit watery. Clearly not cooked fresh. Chips were meh. I’d avoid unless it’s the only place left open.”
