Fab Fish - East Riding of Yorkshire

We come here a lot as a family, it is easily the best is Cottingham. The fish is always flaky and really fresh, and the batter is always really crispy. Good sized portions and comes in a box rather than paper, which is a nice touch.

There was only 4 people in the shop. I stood and waited and waited. The girl serving did not even acknowledge me. I waited until 2 people received their order. Still ingnored so i asked i only want a bag of chips do i have to wait as i knew the 2 men infront of me where waiting for fish. The girl serving said yes you have to wait I was not going to wait for fish to cook. Gone are the days where staff could rattle off lots of orders that did not involve a fish, while waiting for it to cook. It was obviously too difficult for her.

Tried to place simple order, server got it wrong. Repeated my order, server then answered telephone and ignored me. Tried again to place order, server still didn 't understand. Several locals join queue which is now outside the door. THEY GOT THEIR ORDERS TAKEN AND SERVED, READY TO LEAVE, BEFORE MYSELF AND THE OTHER NON-LOCAL IN THE QUEUE. When I finally had servers attention, the caller who rang his order through, walked to the front to say Ii rang my order in AND GOT SERVED ALSO! The man serving insisted i dont touch the salt and vinegar AS HE CAN ONLY DO THAT! After 45 minutes wait, I finally got served and overcharged. Got home, order was wrong. IF YOU ARE NOT A LOCAL, DO NOT TRY TO BE A CUSTOMER! they obviously don 't want custom of fresh faces.

Absolutely ripped off sold a large fish 4.80 when the medium and small fish were larger only saving grace was nicely cooked won't be returning.

Can't fault food, staff, cleanliness.Simply the best. Good choice of fried fish, fishcakes,patties,etc.,we
