The best fish n chips hands down in Skegness, possibly best in UK. The fish is massive, chips are always spot on and the curry sauce is also perfect. Can't go wrong all for under £10! You will not find a better deal anywhere. Service is a bit slow but they rarely mess up so it's worth the wait which is usually about 30mins in the queue!
Parking
Parking places available around the area but you have to pay. Some roadside parking but it's only for 1hrs free then you risk a ticket.

Curry sauce has beef in it but they do offer vegetarian curry sauce as well so do ask as they would not know.

Every time we come to Skegness we eat here and after all these visits I thought a review was in order. No qué, plenty of tables. We got there about 12 noon, they soon got busy. Food was an incredible price, large haddock chips and a side of your choice for £9. Was a gent going round cleaning up as soon as people left which he was very thorough doing, only problem was he was stood near the table and I felt a bit awkward like he wanted us up and gone. Excellent service

Had the £9.95 cod, chips and mushy peas and it was excellent. I can't think of any better chippy meal I've had in 10 years. The only one that came close was one I had on the Scottish Coast. I had my dog with me so couldn't take it to the counter but after a bit of arm waving, one of the staff popped to the front and took my order, brought it down when it was ready and also bought a pot of water for my dog.

A very eye catching fish and chip shop right on the main road through Skegness. What a scene. Pretty sure you’ll see something different every time you look at it. The queue was a sign that this place was well rated and it didn’t disappoint. Was just over a 20 minute wait, which wasn’t too bad. The food our family had was very delicious, the fish, battered sausages, the chips and the gravy. Was the best fish I’ve had in Skegness. The prices were very reasonable considering the portion size you get. The young lad that served us was very friendly and considering how busy it was very courteous and made sure we had everything we needed. We definitely recommend it and be back again.

Visited on 13.5.25 Myself and my little family really enjoyed having a bite to eat here. My pirate obsessed 3year old absolutely loved all the pirates she could see and her pirate chippys 🤣 Both myself and my fiancé had small fish and chips, our daughter had a cone of chips. Food was absolutely delicious, all cooked fresh and very reasonably priced too. We would very highly recommend having something to eat here and we cannot wait to come back next time we're in Skegness

Beautiful atmosphere, wonderful food, great value. Only £10 for large cod and chips with a side, mushy peas is best in my opinion 👍🏻. Restaurant is also very close to the beach which is convenient.

This place is delicious. Highly recommend it. Fresh fish daily, prices right, and it's sooo delicious. I had the skinless cod (large) it def can feed two. The fries/chips were nice. Add little curry sauce, or option of mushy peas, can't go wrong. Add salt and malt vinegar for an authentic English flavor. There are about 7 other fish and chips options right there, but we enjoyed Trawlers best.

Lunch for 1 adult and two kids with drinks £13 - amazing value, fast service, table cleaning was very prompt as customers left. Was a really nice experience for our blustery day at the coast. Will definitely go again.

Food was lovely. We waited 30 minutes in line and not because it was overly busy but because it just seems like the customer service is poor. Good service once we were served and there was loads of seating. We were told the chips and fish and sausages were all fried in individual fryers with palm oil so there was no cross contamination with meat - may be worth checking again. Cod was nice. Chips were fresh. Curry was nice. Would go again!
