The Blue Mermaid Fish Bar in Dover

A hidden gem, just off the beaten track in Deal. Excellent for veggies and probably the best chips I've ever had in Kent.

Visited this great place on the coast from London. It’s an owner ran place that always makes me happy. The owner is a trained chef and it shows in the quality of the food. Service was excellent and I’ll be coming back! Amazing

Friendly staff, always cooked fresh to order, large fish and chips is more than enough for two. It's my Friday treat

A few months ago it was great, but since Ralph the old owner sold the shop the quality of food has become poor. Chips aren't hot and are tasteless. It use to be the best chippie in Deal.

Lovely decor and nice location. Tucked away from the high street and the sea front, but still within a short walking distance. I enjoyed the fish bites, home made tartar sauce and onion rings. Very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Been going here for 4 years, served the best Fish and Chips in Deal, possibly England until a couple of months back when it changed ownership. Sadly now the fish is tastless, pies were hard like they've been reheated and reheated. Chips average, all very poor. My fish Friday is ruined, I'll never find Fish and Chips as tasty as I became accustomed to.

Such tasty fresh cooked fish. Huge large cod. And huge Rock Salmon. Fresh cooked chips. Worth the walk to one end of Deal for very tasty fish n chips. Note though its cash only. But place your order and pop to Lloyd's cash point whilst they cook it.

Update.......open and fast becoming the best fish and chip shop in the south east, excellent produce and a must when im down visiting from London...........Definitely the best cod and chips I've had for a long time. Tryed this place after being disappointed with a competitor on the seafront which normally use. Will only use this fish and chip shop now! Perfect fish and batter and some delightful chips. Good portions and Really good curry sauce as well. Staff friendly, attentive and helpful. Definitely highly recommend.

Motorcycle ride around Kent . Stopped in Deal today and had Rock (Huss) and Chips from here. Fresh and well cooked .. Had them takeaway and ate them on the beach.

Stopped off with the old man today for some cod and chips. Probably the best little fish and shop I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Its a small shop with a few sturdy, comfortable clean chairs and tables. Some pretty nice art work decorate the walls, which are also for sale. A piano sits along the wall as you walk in. As we waited for our food, the friendly owner gave us a little tune. He then later picked up a guitar that was hanging on the wall and began to strum, what sounded like, a Mediterranean melody. Apparently, the owners musically gifted son occasionally makes an appearance, and plays classical pieces on the piano.The fish and chips arrived after waiting for the cod to be freshly fried. Now, I've been to few fish bars in Deal which have at best been mediocre. This, however, was in a different league. The fish was perfectly cooked and a lovely golden colour to the crispy batter. The hand cut chips were how I remember chips used to be years ago. Soft and fluffy on the inside with a nice texture to the skin. Quite simply, this is the best I've tasted in a very long time. The cup of tea I ordered was just how I like it as well. If you're ever in Deal and are contemplating going to one of the many fish bars along the seafront, my I suggest you give this cosy little place a try instead. You won't be disappointed.
