The Fish Shack

"Great food and staff are absolutely lovely 5*****"

"A really good little fish and chip shop, nothing pretentious and absolutely not greasy"

"Wife and I had different experiences at the same time. After a hard day and struggling to find a fish and chip shop half decent in Leicester I treated us to fish and chips from The Fish Shack. The customer service is really good, very friendly and smiling. They even had banter with one of their regulars. I chose this place based on location being close to my home and the many 5 star reviews. Here is my full evaluation... Wife had small fish and chips with curry sauce. Portion size was very adequate, however, the fish was tepid but you could tell it was a quality product as was flaky and white. The batter became soggy due to loss of temperature.The chips were mildly warm. We both agreed the curry sauce seemed very sweet. She would have given 2 stars for hers. I had large fish and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce. The chips I agreed was mildly warm, but my fish was piping hot with crispy batter. This makes me think that maybe small fish was under a heat lamp whilst the large fish was cooked fresh. Mushy peas very generic (Wife makes better after adapting a 30p can). I also ordered a large portion of doner meat to have with curry sauce (just because I'm strange like that). The meat was very greasy and after turning the flash on whilst taking the picture I discovered just how much it shined. Even the curry sauce had a shine to it, possibly from oils used. I was willing to give a 4/5 for my whole experience so between us we settled on 3 stars. I have had much worse in Leicester, however as of writing this have found nothing better."

"Lady was absolutely incredible however the chips was no good. To be fair I came 20mins before closing"

"Purchased a large fish and chips and waited for it to be freshly made in the shop. The fish was fine and hot but the chips were just warm. Really disappointing felt like the chips were re-cooked."
