Shamrock Fish & Chips (Hartland)

Overwhelmingly disappointing, especially considering the rave (local?) reviews and pictures. I appreciate everyone has their own tastes and perhaps if this is the only fish shop around, residents don't know any better, but this was honestly vile.£8(x4) for what was 5 forkfuls of fish is not great. The batter was inedible, oil drenched and sticky. We peeled it off entirely. The fish itself was coated in an alarming yellow sludge, which I pray was uncooked batter. Once scrapped off, there was barely a few mm of fish beneath it. The accompanying chips were anemic and left a chemical taste and residue in the mouth after. They did cook this fresh in front of us, but were these 'substances' fresh before they entered the oil?….A good cod fillet should be flaky and around 1 inch at its thickest point with crispy dry batter…. Not a thin wafer of questionable consistency 'flesh' soup which leaves you wondering what in fact you just ate.We grabbed this on the way to Hartland Quay, neither us, nor the seagulls enjoyed it.

Holidaying for a week in Stoke near Hartland, pre-ordered a take away Fish and Chip supper for the whole family. Free parking nearby, a friendly service, the order was ready on time for pick up, and reasonably priced. Between us virtually the whole menu was sampled; cod, sausages, scampi and both chicken and beefburgers, chips and cheesy chips, curry sauce and mushy peas – all hot, well cooked and very much enjoyed.

Very good fish and chips, freshly cooked to order, generous portions.

Absolutely fantastic, the food was so tasty the fish had a lovely crisp, golden batter that was perfectly cooked and tasted fantastic. The chips were light and fluffy and very tasty and even the mushy peas were of top notch quality. The staff were friendly and even tho it was busy and the food is cooked to order, our food was prepared quickly.

Great fish, scampi, chips, peas and curry sauce.A must visit. really friendly staff, carpark very close. Great recommendations
