About Kirkgate Fisheries
Kirkgate Fisheries is a fish and chips takeaway in Tadcaster, at 6 Kirkgate. Haddock is the fish, cooked to order and fried fresh, and portions are large.

Customer Review Summary
Haddock and chips draw the most praise, with reviewers describing thick, chunky haddock in light, crispy batter and chips that arrive roasting hot. Portions are repeatedly called massive or generous, to the point that one diner skipped the chips and another could not finish. Close behind are the mushy peas, a spicy curry sauce, scraps, and Yorkshire fish cakes fried in beef dripping, which one reviewer calls out of this world. Several say everything is cooked fresh to order, with a warm, friendly welcome from the staff. The one critical account describes a long wait after being quoted a short one, a seafood basket soaked in beef dripping, rubbery calamari, missing gravy, peas scraped from the bottom, and a rude exchange at the counter, and reports a digestive line left in the prawns. Another reviewer, told no regular fish was left, was served a large at the same price and given a free pot of mushy peas.

“Fantastic. Much happier than the last time I used them, when I had to write a negative review. This time was 100% different. Cannot fault it at all. The Yorkshire fish cakes are out of this world. They cook in beef dripping and use Haddock. I don't know what happened within the last 3 or 4 years but this time it was fantastic.”
