8 Reviews on “GOLDEN FRY FISH & CHIPS”
Food was the best fish and chips I’ve had in ages. Price was $60 for fish, chips, dim sims, potato cakes and sauces.
I was really impressed with the home made sauces that they had as well.
We got seating easy enough and it wasn’t too busy.
The views of the beach front is really nice as well.
Parking can be tricky on a busy day, might be easier to park down by the beach spots
Deal for 2 fish & chips is $26 including 2 dim sims (which is a fried snack with pork and spring onion inside) and 2 flakes (another fried snack) with 2 small packs of tartar sauce. The fish is fresh and fries is huge serving. The sauces cost $1 each. Had to wait close to 40min when we reached at 7.15am. Overall it is an ok experience to dine in.
Our second tried on Fish & Chip from Melbourne. We find this store is much better as the fish after fried still soft and juicy. The flour used is just good for this dish. The 🍟 is thicker comparing to those from M. It soft inside and crispy outside.
Our tour guide Terry recommended this spot, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the seafood bucket and probably over-ordered but it was worth it, huge servings of freshly fried seafood that left us completely full and happy. The flake was really good, light and crispy, and the burgers were also amazing.
Definitely a great place for sharing, especially if you’re in a group. Generous portions, tasty food, and perfect for a seaside meal in Cowes. Highly recommended!
This is more a take away than eat in, hence the atmosphere score. There was some outdoor seating that may look towards the beach but it was dark. Inside had tables but it was traditional fish and chips shop basic tables.
The food was amazing. Dim aims, potato cakes, crab sticks, chips and fish were all great and we were asked if we wanted chicken salt (who doesn’t? ). The chips were soft and potatoee on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside and had a few of those super crunchy ones too – so something for everyone. The service was super fast and we got a free tartar sauce with the order. They even had take away cutlery if you needed it. Reasonably priced too. Sorry no pics as it looked too delicious to think about photos!
Here at Golden they nailed it, if you love lightly battered fish and chips! Worth the waiting time to get this beautiful piece of quality and golden brown of fish and chips as it should, keep the consistency!
**be careful of the pigeon**
This weird lady told us this place had the worst fish n chips she’d ever eaten and told everyone on the street not to go here, however there were no other places open so we decided to give it a shot anyways. And thank god we did! This was the best fish n chips ever! The batter was the perfect texture, not too crunchy, not too soggy—just perfect! Not to mention, the chips were fried to absolute perfection! This is your sign to not listen to ladies who are probably named karen❤️
edit: her name was actually karen…
Lovely little place right in front of the beach, nothing too special but definitely good service. The food was perfect though! Delicious chips and filthy little bit of fish. Absolutely banging
