    I'm pretty surprised at this. I was there in October and ordered the large fish and chips, and it was brilliant. Even had a can of beer with it. To be honest, you seemed to have made your mind up about the place before you even went in.

    I have been to this place with my mum. We both did not like either. The worst fish and chips I have ever had though was in Grimsby. We thew them away and then went to another chippy in Cleethorpes on the recommendation of a traffic warden and they were the best we had ever had. Was so nice we ordered another piece of Fish to share. It is called Steels Corner House Restaurant on Market Street.

    Ok ok calm down Lee - I'm guessing you're not too happy!

    Hey Lee! Dearie me! I was thinking the fish might start moving on your tray it was that pale and pathetic. Chips definitely seen better days. Peas I was thinking they were a bit fluorescent. Terrible food you are correct. What a shame about the other Chippy being closed. Have an amazing Christmas Lee to you and your family. Also Happy birthday for tomorrow. Happy holidays take care 😘👍🏻

    Customers father opened fish and chip shop, you wouldn't believe the cost to set up. Range i think was like 30k. Ran it for 2 years, gave up when someone slipped on tiled wet floor and sued him. Said it wasn't worth the hassle. Sold the shop.

    Even though it's officially known as the High Street, it's more commonly known as Chip Pan Alley, even though there are only about 3 Chip Shops along there now. The last time I was in Trawlers Catch the food was excellent, Lee. Glad you checked out Raff55, we always make a point of having a Breakfast there whenever we visit, great value. Another good Chip Shop is Salt's on Roman Bank Road, it's just past The Ship Pub opposite the Co-Op as you head towards Northshore Holiday Centre and Winthorpe.

    I agree; I just don't understand where these awards come from. The worst f&c I've had in recent years was from Mansfield's 'best' chippy. I'll not name and shame them, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were having an off day, but the meal was so greasy that the oil soaked through four layers of best chip-shop paper and absolutely soaked my trouser legs.

Absolutely love some of the music you use on your videos - especially ‘A Simple Kiss’ at the beginning, i’ve found so many new songs - very much my sort of my music. The Trawlers Catch looks just like a beach bar I visited in Daytona Beach in Florida a few years ago albeit with less sand and broken ceiling fans than that bar as Hurricane Irma had gone through the week before lol. Cheers mister!

    Couldn’t agree more with you Lee. They didn’t look good at all. I’ve never seen cod that thin before. You’d expect it with haddock but cod is meant to be chunkier, even at that price. We weren’t impressed with the food at Skeggy either when we went last year.
    I may be wrong but I think this is the first time I’ve seen you not order a curry sauce🤔? Did they not serve it in there as not all places do?
    I’ll go a 1/10 too I think.

We find it here (in South Africa 🇿🇦 ) too that the award winning restaurants are usually way overrated and it seems to give 'em license to overcharge too.

    As a general rule of thumb, at seaside resorts, always look for a chippy in the back streets, as those on the Prom tend to cater for the lowest common denominator!

    So me and my wife went there all I can say way terrible.
    Fish and chips tasted burnt. And we're very Greasy. Did a review online within minutes had a response from the owner.
    Saying if I wasn't happy should have taken them back and he would have replaced them , all I can say is he was quite happy to sell them to me in the first place.
    So no I believe gave them 3 stars.
    That was generous.
    Was supposed to be five star chippy.
    I don't think so.

    A friend of mine always says that the mini fish are never as nice or as good as a large one, but I understand that some folk like smaller portions. Who knows if a large fish would have been better here, I don't know, but the fish here didn't look too great, plus it was greasy and had a hair on it. For me, the chips looked average and on a par with most chippies nowadays, nowt to shout about . I too hate anaemic looking chips, I want mine golden brown in colour. You've had paler one's elsewhere though, Lee. Merry christmas to you, Lee, hope you have a good one.

    Must have caught them on a bad day Lee. We've been few times and mini fish and chips usually far better than that! Shame it wasn't very good. Tates in Boston is good! Expensive but nice.
    Can't really rate a place on one visit!
