Green Lane Fisheries in South Tyneside

I have been going here for years and the quality of the fish is second to none and they are always willing to travel and find the best fish, Unfortunately the chips are absolute disgusting.I will still give you a 5 star but you need to something about your chips !!

Very nice, you can also get small fish chips at a good price.

Tried the fish finger sandwich meal and was not disappointed really did enjoy this and the fish was chunky

This has been my local fish and chip spot for decades... in fact, it's been that way for as long as I can remember. It's kind of a tragedy that this isn't often mentioned in those "Best Fish and Chips of South Shields" lists, and rather it's overpriced and underwhelming places such as Colman's and the like that seem to get the limelight. Now, I'm not trying to slate Colman's at all here, I'm simply saying that I find Green Lane far superior to anywhere else I know of when it comes to fish and chips.I remember going here as a child with my parents (I'm in my mid-thirties now) and the place has never changed. It's old-fashioned, traditional, clean, warm and friendly. I visited recently and the manager handed a can of pop to a kid waiting in line just in front of me, which brought back fond memories of when he did the same to me back when I was a young'un. (I tried not to take offence that he no longer saw any such youthful charm behind my eyes, and thus I'd have to pay for my pop like normal.)That's the kind of stuff you don't see anymore, the warm and special treatment of what seems to be a bygone era. That really is great to see.In my experience, their food is always lovely, the portions are very generous, the value is unbeatable, and the staff are always friendly and actually look happy to be there. This, to me, comes as quite a shock to the system when you go to a lower standard place in the town centre, for comparison, perhaps to end a night of ale, and you see the pale, grim beings behind the counter, shovelling toenail clipping-style chips into paper with one hand while they roll a cigarette with the other, often shouting at each other in a type of undecipherable chippy code.Green Lane has it down pat, knowing what's best and keeping things the way they work best too. They're not fixing what isn't broken, they're not begging for followers on Instagram or for you to add them on Snapchat for 10% off your next order. They're just doing it right. I'm going to keep going back here when I want fish and chips, and if you're reading this, I advise you do the same!Well done everyone there for keeping it fresh and real all the time. All the best!

Fantastic as always fresh fish and chips were top notch ...very generous portions .

First time I've been in and always wanted to try and we did today and got to say the staff were excellent very friendly and like to have a laugh and the fish and chips were unreal thanks guys thoroughly enjoyed it

Lovely people serving we had fish chips n sausages nice n hot plenty of chips spot on

Bad night last night, had wonderful meals in the past but last night the fish was poor with thick and what looked like uncooked batter on. The chips were soggy as well. Must do better to get me back

Large portionz and good selection of fish. Batter was very thick n soggy and left a coating on the mouth. Not for me I'm afraid.

Pleasant staff and a good loojing chippy. Unfortunately the batter on the fish was soggy & the chips were tasteless and greasy. Didn't ask for bits but was given a boat-load. Maybe just an off-day and the oil hadn't been heated enough.
