The Fish Shed in Exeter

Absolutely love the fish shed 😍 chips as good as Rick Stein in Padstow. disappointed the seating area has gone .it's now a takeaway. The fish is fresh.you can see chefs cooking it which is really nice .never disappointed

I had the chips which seemed like they were not proper fish and chip shop chips. Underwhelming and pricey.

Such a disappointment, nowhere near as good as Greendale and cost as much if not more, portions small, chips obviously out of a bag, sausages cheap, even the children didn't like them, chips not crispy, we really expected the same quality you would get in the cafe and restaurant in Darts. Won't ever bother again, fresh home made chips and fresh fish from Greendale for us every time.

Honestly, no word of a lie, this is unequivocally THE BEST fish and chips in Exeter! Maybe even the South West…We had the grilled haddock, it was perfectly cooked. The chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, we opted for extra chips… mushy peas were a fantastic accompaniment and if you thought that wasn’t enough; the tartar sauce was a dream!Thanks The Fish Shed, I will see you again.

We have cod & chips from the fish shed often, never disappointed, amazing fresh fish, light batter, crispy 🍟 😁

Wonderful place. Great food every time. The Poki bowl is such a treat. Have used here twice a week all through these weird times. Not a single bad portion. Highly recomended. Such welcoming staff. Such better quality than other local fish restaurants.

We were a bit dubious of visiting here after the bad reviews but thought we’d try it anyway. The owner was honest about the frozen chips and they were pretty good. The grilled fish was lovely. Just remember it’s not like a standard chippy. Give it a go.

Visited on a recommendation at very near the end of the day. We were NOT disappointed!!Meals for seven of us were served with huge smiles by Dave and Ondine and the fish cakes and chips were absolutely divine.. (that’s pretty much an understatement).Amazingly friendly people, beautifully cooked food and we can’t cant recommend Fish Shed enough!!Thank you Dave and Ondine 💕 🎣 xx

Fish & chip perfection. I find it hard to believe this place has a single bad review. Always exceptional. I grew up above my family fish restaurant which closed in 1994. 20 years later I finally found fish and chips as good. If you equate quality to price and quantity you might prefer to eat bad fish and chips elsewhere. If you have functioning taste buds and can comprehend the difference in price between poorly cooked frozen fish and perfectly cooked fresh fish, then you need to visit the fish shack. Bad reviews likely come from McDonald's fans who didn't want to use Burger King at the Exeter services.

The worst fish and chips I have ever had.After a 45min wait where the young waiter didn't bother to listen to the name given, the food arrived.We had haddock as the cod was sold out (this was 12:30pm and the previous year all fish had been sold out so we never tried it!). It was absolutely tasteless and dry.The chips although hand cut have been made using the wrong potato type (floury potatoes such as Desiree), they had a thick cloying dusty texture and were inedible.We binned 2/3 of our order and went to Topsham for something else.
