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
Fish and chips is what reviewers come back for, with haddock singled out as incredible under a light, tasty batter. Chips arrive in generous portions, and one diner calls the mushy peas outstanding. One longtime customer says the fish has never been bad and makes a long round trip for it, another returned after nearly 40 years and found it unchanged, and others call it the best in the area. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly. The picture is not uniform. One reviewer who phoned in an order for two cod and curry sauce received one haddock and one cod, found the fish dry and the chips cold, dark and scrappy, and said only the curry sauce was good. Another calls the food a little pricey, and one visitor saw customers leave because they could not pay by card. Even so, a reviewer praises the fish and chips cooked to order in beef dripping as customers walk in.

“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.”
