Aqua Fish Bar in Eastbourne

Always great service and the best chips in Eastbourne!Update:Today we thought we would try Qualisea for lunch and dine in.My wife had 'cheesy' chips and onion rings and I had the Naked 'Cheeseburger' and chips (plus a couple of my wife's onion rings).It is great to have more vegan options wherever we go and the choice at Qualisea was a good starting point.The Naked burger is seemingly a Naked Glory burger and it was great. Chips were good but it was the onion rings that were the star of the show.Highchairs are available and there is one large toilet.Service was friendly and informative but a bit slower than expected.Overall, another good option for lunch. I would love to see the introduction of banana blossom and battered vegan sausages.

Food was poor, waitress (and owner) was extremely rude and incredibly bad customer service. PLEASE AVOID.We are two families, we were rushed in and told we had to sit over two tables and couldn't have one for us all. We had been in at lunchtime but told we could not book for the evening.We asked if we could split the bill between our families but told we could not do this as we were on two separate tables (not our choice).The waitress (and owner) ridiculed my 4 year old son's drink choice in front of him and the whole table (Orange and blackcurrant squash mixed with water).We asked if they could put the cheese on the side of my son's burger, the waitress (and owner) questioned us and asked us why. Eventually she agreed this could be done. When the burger arrived the cheese was inside and the waitress told us "the cooks couldn't leave the cheese out". No apology and a son who refused to eat his meal.Chips and fish were poor quality.When we finished our meal we waited 25 minutes for anyone to clear our dirty plates. The couple next to us, who arrived after us, had their food, plates cleared and paid their bill 20 minutes before someone came to clear our plates.If you want average fish and chips and a rude waitress, please come here!We will not be returning and will be telling our friends and family about our incredibly disappointing experience here.You can see from the reply below, and other 1 star reviews, how rude, unsympathetic and unfriendly the owner really is. It is a shame that after 30 years in the restaurant business someone can care so little about their customers.

We were in Eastbourne for the day and by chance went to have lunch here. It turned out to be a wonderful choice. The fish was so fresh and beautifully cooked. The staff were so friendly. I would reccomend it and just a pity I live so far away!

Absolutely cannot fault this plaice (see what I did there? Sorry) Been here quite a few times now and every time the fish is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. Not an upscale place (sorry again, can't help myself!) But this is definitely one of the better fish shops in the south of England.

My wife and I had just done a long coastal walk and needed some delicious fish and chips to refuel...these folks didn't disappoint. I had huss for the first time and it was incredible. Our server Natalie was so friendly and kind, we were gutted we couldn't leave a tip on card for her as we had no cash. See you again soon

Great place plenty of tables. Also does takeaway service. Ordered the cod and chips large. Cooked fresh and hot very nice the fish was amazing highly recommend for all.

Fish and chips are nice and taste fresh, the food is very good. The disappointing part are their staff, they are quite rude to us. My partner order fish and chips with one sausage and I said make it two for me and she interfere us saying so are you just going to share one meal? In a rude way, she assume that we are going to share that one meal because I just said make the sausage two which we are not because she didn’t ask my order yet. And what would be the problem if we share that one meal?! This kind of attitude can lost appetite.

Really great customer service. The restaurant area was clean and cosy! The food was delicious and very fresh. I enjoyed my lunch at this restaurant and would highly recommend visiting.

First class. Very good chips and the fish was excellent. Not grease, batter not to thick and crispy. Really enjoyed it. I'd like to recomend our waitress. A very nice person to deal with, very pleasant and friendly. So if the boss reads this give Natalie a pay rise she does the work of 10. That's 12 men or 8 women.

Very disappointed, first trip to the seaside for over 2 years for me. Wanted to pickup a takeaway saveloy and chips to enjoy whilst walking down the Eastbourne pier. To only be met by a stone cold saveloy, and an over salted, triple fried chips that I can only describe as similar to and eggshell in texture. Only reason for one star is for the bottle of water, which was only a £1, and was actually cold aswell. No surprises there as everything else was.
