Fisherboy

A little different walking into a fish and chip shop expecting to be greeted by the cliche type of proprietor, but greeted by a group of lovely Asian workers (not to say that other races aren't lovely). I ordered myself the 'The Lot Burger', my partner ordered the 'Fish Burger' with 'chips + drink' combo, and 5 chicken Nuggets (can be ordered individually in serves of as many pieces as you like). The lady attendant recommended a seat by the fan to get away from the heat outside (31°), and suggested making use of the complimentary bottled water (chilled) & glasses. The low prices set an expectation that the ordered burgers would be small, low quality, or just stacked with chips. My 'The Lot Burger' arrived, and to my delight was none of the mentioned expectations. The burger was nice and large and the flavour was quite good. It's no high end restaurant per se, but this place is brilliant if you're after some good fish and chips at a very modest price. Try it out!

I went in for lunch on the first day of business for this new venture, and was very impressed. Clearly a lot of work has taken place to renovate the premises, which are incredibly clean, with quality fixture and fittings. There is a very extensive menu, with a range of fish, burgers, and all the favourites you would expect to see in a chippery (such as dim sims, potato cakes, calamari rings and spring rolls). I expected the prices to reflect the class of the establishment, but was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the cost was. A very generous serving of freshly-cooked flake and chips with salad cost me less than ten bucks. The love shown during the renovation is also evident in the quality of the food. The homemade cabbage and carrot side-salad was incredibly refreshing, thanks to the clever addition of mint, and having the healthy salad made me feel less guilty for choosing fried fish in a delicious batter. The staff were very friendly and professional, and all wore matching colours (one of the many small touches that sets Fisherboy apart from other fish and chips I’ve been to). It’s very difficult to find fault – perhaps supplying newspapers for those waiting for takeaway might be helpful, but this is a minor quibble. Fisherboy is a great new addition to the many eateries on Bridge Road, and I will definitely be back for more. Perhaps next time, I will treat myself to dinner – particularly after the pending liquor licence has been approved so I can enjoy a glass of wine with my fish.

Bought fish and chips from this shop to take away last Sunday, when I was waiting for my order, I heard there was a big dog and some dog puppies barking, I asked the staff, the staff told me his owner was selling the dog puppies upstairs. Then one asian lady hold a big golden retriever through the restaurant and go outside. I also can see there was some dog hair in the corner. Very bad experience.
