About Seamer Fisheries
On Main St in Scarborough, Seamer Fisheries is a fish and chips takeaway where orders are cooked fresh as customers walk in. The fish is fried in beef dripping, and haddock and cod are the two options regularly ordered, served alongside generous portions of chips. Mushy peas and curry sauce round out the sides. Orders can be placed by telephone ahead of collection, and payment is cash only at the counter. The format is walk-in, with no reservations taken.

Customer Review Summary
Haddock draws repeat mentions as the standout order, with reviewers describing light, tasty batter and fish cooked to order in beef dripping. Close behind, the chips come up again and again for their generous portions, alongside mushy peas one visitor called outstanding and a curry sauce singled out even in an otherwise poor visit. Several diners describe returning over many years, some making long drives specifically for a meal, and friendly staff get repeated mention. A few call portions large but "a little pricey." One clear complaint stands out: a telephone order arrived wrong, cod swapped for haddock, with chips described as cold, dark, and scrappy despite a spend of over 25 pounds. Another reviewer notes some customers left after finding no card payment accepted, only cash. Most describe leaving satisfied, several saying they would recommend it or plan to return.

“Visited twice last week while camping in Snainton. We all had the haddock and it was incredible and the batter was light and tasty. The chips were fabulous with generous portions and the mushy peas were outstanding. Excellent value also. The staff were friendly; definitely worth visiting.”
