Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return for the fish and chips, praising flaky, fresh fish in crispy batter and chips described as non-greasy, thick and chunky. Halal preparation comes up repeatedly, with fish cooked separately in vegetable oil, and one practising Muslim reviewer was glad to find it in Scarborough. Close behind is the chip shop curry sauce, which one diner called worth travelling across town for, and several mention gravy and mushy peas alongside haddock or cod. Others name a fish cake and a full vegetarian platter. Staff earn consistent mentions as friendly and helpful, and a few note the seating inside holds a large family. The one caveat is portion size: a reviewer felt the large fish could have been a bit bigger, though the chips were generous. The detail reviewers return to is the free sample of curry sauce handed over at the counter.

“All the food item here is Halal. The food and the service toptopnotch! We tried their fish cake, Scalopi, Both Cod and Haddock Fish n Chips. We ask them to add gravy and mushi peas. We liked everything. The Chips were good too.”

“What an amazing experience at Scarborough! We visited Scarborough Beach on the 24th of May 2026 during the Bank Holiday weekend, and the weather was absolutely perfect - scorching hot sunshine and an amazing atmosphere. It was also my personal first visit to Scarborough Beach, so it made the day even more special. We came as a big family, and towards the end of the day, we started looking for somewhere nice to eat. And honestly, what else do you eat at the seaside other than proper fish and chips? One of our key requirements was finding fish cooked separately in vegetable oil due to halal dietary needs, and thankfully we came across this gem of a place. Talha and Hayat were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. The hospitality, friendliness, and customer service were genuinely outstanding. From the outside, it may not look like there’s much seating available, but don’t be fooled - there’s plenty of comfortable seating inside, and they accommodated our large family with no issues at all. What also impressed us was the variety available. One of our family members wanted a vegetarian option, and surprisingly for a fish and chip shop, they had a proper full vegetarian platter available too - which was thoroughly enjoyed! The food was fresh, delicious, and exactly what you’d hope for after a day at the seaside. The portion sizes were also very generous, which made the experience even better. But more than that, it was the warmth and effort from the team that made the visit truly memorable. Highly recommended. Talha, Hayat, and the whole team are doing an outstanding job, and we will absolutely be returning again. Thank you for making our first Scarborough trip even more special!”

“Visited Scarborough Fish and Chips with the family and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. One of the things that stood out to us was that everything is halal, and you can really tell they take pride in using fresh fish and fresh oil. The restaurant/takeaway itself was clean, welcoming, and had ample seating for around 15 people, making it a comfortable place for families to enjoy a meal together. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating throughout our visit. We ordered around 10 portions of the small fish and chips, and every single one was cooked to perfection. The fish was fresh, flaky, and full of flavour, while the chips were delicious and not overly oily. It was clear that care and attention had gone into preparing each meal. The hospitality was exceptional, and everyone in our family thoroughly enjoyed their food. It's always refreshing to find a place that delivers both quality food and excellent customer service. We would happily visit again and would highly recommend Scarborough Fish and Chips to anyone looking for fresh, tasty fish and chips in a welcoming environment.”

“The wife and I went looking for good Fish and chips....we found it..I first have to tell you about the staff. They were adorable. We chatted while ordering and I felt like we left as friends. The fish and chips were great, but the curry was worth traveling to the other side of Scarborough for. Amazing. Give it a try.”

“100% halal everything was freshly made. Staff are very nice and helpful. They even gave free food to sample. Proper chip shop curry sauce and thick, chunky chippy chips. Fish is large, tasty and super crispy just how we like it. Would recommend 10/10.”
