Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Yet another fantastic meal at what is without doubt our favourite fish and chip shop. Nothing better on a miserable day than coming in here after a brisk walk on the front to clear the cobwebs. Friendly welcome, spotlessly clean and it goes without saying that the food is gorgeous. Batter is something that is usually just there to protect the fish while frying but here the batter is something to be savoured, crispy and bubbly as it should be. Portions are generous and cost is perfectly acceptable, we always have the 'special' which includes fish, chips, side (peas, beans, B&B, drink) for just under fifteen pounds. Thanks again and already looking forward to our next visit

Brilliant fish and chips - the best in Blackpool, hands down! We were a party of 10 and Alona quickly tried to seat us all together. She was a friendly, knowledgeable, efficient server. An excellent addition to the team since the last time we visited. Would highly recommend the special £15 for fish, chips beans/peas with bread and butter and a cup of tea to accompany. The lightly battered fish is amazing, giving the best of both worlds. You still get that fish and chips taste but with fewer calories! The chips are always delicious. There is a reason why we are now on our fourth generation of visitors to this fish and chip shop! Be prepared to queue and don’t leave it too late to arrive as they close at 7pm. Topping Street is only a short walk up the town from the main promenade. As always we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were hugely impressed by the warmth of our waitress. The owner(?) was lovely as usual. Ten out of ten, five stars, highly recommended

What a lovely review and how fabulous that now the 4th generation are eating here at Yorkshire Fisheries! It really is testament to the place that it still is here more than 110 years later! Let’s hope even more generations continue to come!

We've been coming here for several years but had not been for some time due to usually having a dog with us and not being able to sit in. Went for lunch yesterday on a mild but very busy Saturday. We both had the Cod special, usual fish, chips, choice of side (peas, curry or gravy) bread and butter and a cup of tea. Not bad value for £14.75 can upgrade to larger fish for another £4 and Haddock also available. Fish was lovely and decent size. The batter is very tasty, something to savour rather than just to protect the fish. Friendly and efficient place and spotlessly clean, tables being fully cleaned down and floor swept within seconds of a table being vacated. We are spoilt for chippies in our area but this is perhaps the best of the lot

This is the best place for fish and chips in Blackpool. Everything is cooked fresh, even down to the option of how you’d like your fish battered. My husband and I had Cod and Chips and there was plenty, my husband got a side of curry sauce. He said it had a good kick to it. Their kids meals are great value for money, our boys had a cheese burger and chips the other nuggets and chips and got high praise especially from the eldest child who doesn’t like chips declaring they were the best chips he’d had and the other a very very fussy nugget connoisseur who now only wants these nuggets! We definitely would return and recommend to anyone.

Haddock and chips twice
Haddock extremely badly over cooked and ruined same with the chips very disappointed as well recommended by the reviews .
Suggest staff training in frying fish it was pretty obvious from the extended amount of time in the fryer what the result was going to be staff were quoting a ten minute cooking time more than twice the amount of time it would require to cook.
As I said very very poor in fact one of the worst that I have ever had!!

I am very sorry to read your review. Contrary to your opinion that our staff require training in fish frying, we are very happy with our fish fryers. We do cook our fish to order and it does take a minimum of ten minutes as we make sure the fish is well drained before we serve it. Obvioulsy if there are several orders before yours, then the wait may be slightly longer. Having read your other TA contributions, it appears that there aren't many establishments that you are happy with, and although everyone is entitiled to express thier opinion on this platform, please be aware that it can be very damaging when such sacthing comments are made about small independent businesses. It would be much better to speak to the establishment directly so that they can look into the matter immediately and address your issues. You would then be happier with your meal and businesses would be pleased that they have another satisfied customer.

Went here after reading such good reviews and trying to find a good chip shop amongst the vast choice in Blackpool. Waited a few seconds to be seated, very friendly. Ordered the cod and chips. Came about 10 minutes later and looked delicious on the plate. However when tasting a chip I found it quite firm and very bland. They needed a catering pack size of salt and vinegar on them to provide any kind of flavour. Certainly not the chippy chip taste I was expecting. The fish on the other hand was very nice and the batter was good. Don't think I'd return as for me it's the standard of the chips that makes a good chippy.

I’m sorry to read that you were disappointed with the chips. These particular potatoes have proven to be popular with our customers. However I appreciate that as much as we would like to, we cannot please everyone. I appreciate that you enjoyed the fish and the batter and thank you for acknowledging that.

I have been coming to the Yorkshire fisheries for over 50 years in various guises and in my mind is the best ever fish and chips and mushy peas.
I went before a gig so it was quite busy. I went with my husband and I have mobility issues. As soon as I entered the restaurant there was a greeter who sorted out a table easy accessible and was so kind. We ordered two specials haddock and chips mushy peas tea bread and butter at £14.00. The manager came over to speak to us along with other members of staff everyone was so friendly.
The food , the fish we asked for lightly battered which was perfect and the fish was wonderful. The chips were the best chips ever, fresh and perfectly cooked. The peas were the best ever so tasty I love mushy peas but these were the best I had ever had. Even the tea I enjoyed i can be a bit fussy about my tea and the tea wasn’t stewed, it was not bitter and the milk was served separately from the tea. I wanted tomato ketchup where restaurants often fall down with cheap or watered down ketchup and I’m glad to say the ketchup matched up with the rest of the meal.
My husband is fussy to say the least but loved the meal.
What I will say is if you want a lovely meal you would be hard pushed to find better fish and chips with fantastic service than the Yorkshire fisheries on Topping Street.

This is the best chip shop I have ever been to and I have done a fair bit of travelling the world. The fish is consistently white and tasty. The batter is light and crispy and the mushy peas also very tasty. Each order is cooked separately so it may take a few minutes to arrive but when it arrives with a friendly server it is more than worth the wait. The price is more than comparable with other fish restaurants for which the fare is not as good. You won’t be disappointed.

This visit to the Yorkshire Fisheries Chip shop takeaway ( also sit in ) is my second visit. Was here on holiday exactly a year ago in September 2023. A year later in 2024 for our second visit and it’s never let us down. Certainly exceptional excellent fish & chips like our first time except I had curry sauce, tartar sauce, tomato sauce alongside my regular haddock size fish with chips and mushy peas. All was delicious very tasty loved the golden brown colour of the nice crispy batter on the fish with nice flakes of haddock. Being from Scotland we know our fish & chips and this was like home from home. Make sure if you prefer salt then vinegar on your meal make sure you tell them or they will do vinegar then salt like most places but I am too much a traditionalist to have it any other way. Will try the cod & chips next time before I go home in 2 days time . We have a dog so we could only have a takeaway but they put them into boxes and it’s stayed relatively warm until we got back to our Travelodge near Pleasure Beach half an hour later. Washed it down with irn bru . Will try someday in the future if I can come back to Blackpool without the dog to sit in and have a meal. I give the food a high rating of 10/10 overall, it’s fresh to order , quality of ingredients is high it’s cooked to perfection, customer service is very good . It’s very clean inside.
Only downside to the cafe and this is my only hunch . In Scotland we Scot’s love to come here in our droves to Blackpool being a popular holiday destination easy to get to. We normally have our main meal of the day around 5pm until 8pm not early afternoon. The Yorkshire Fisheries cafe/ takeaway closes at 7pm in the evening from Monday to Saturday closed all day Sunday. It would be more beneficial during the holiday season to open that tad longer to accommodate us . If it’s too much hassle can you employ more part time staff . You could be shooting yourselves in the foot not having a delivery service for people in the Blackpool area could you not sign up to an online delivery service it would probably help too. Some customers may have mobility issues and find it incredibly difficult to get parked on Topping Street most of the time to get access to the premises. It’s something for whomever the new owner could consider. Apart from all that please do not change anything else it’s perfect. This chip shop could be a goldmine to its new owner when and whom that may be . I cannot wait until the day I can sit in have a fish tea with bread & butter mushy peas curry sauce. Do I recommend it to others yes 100% yes . Go on give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

I can honestly say this was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The waiting staff were helpful and friendly, and explained our choices patiently. I chose the small fish (extra crispy batter) and chips, which was ample for my appetite and really good value for money, less than £6. My husband had the special, which included a side of mushy peas, bread and butter and a hot drink. The owner came to speak to us whilst clearing the table, lovely gesture. Highly recommended, surprised this restaurant and take away isn’t number 1!! We will be back.

This is the first fish and chip restaurant I ever ate in when I returned to Blackpool 18 years ago. It was excellent then and it is just as good today as it ever was. The food is really good quality, very fresh fish and beautifully cooked. The chips and mushy peas are also excellent. I occasionally try other places but I always return to Yorkshire Fisheries because I have never found anywhere even nearly as good in Blackpool. Prices have gone up a lot in the last few years understandably, but they always remain fair and competitive here, especially compared to the overpriced places on the Promenade just a few streets away. It is well worth the short walk to Topping Street to enjoy the quality and value here.
What makes this place really special though is the staff. They are always very efficient, but even more importantly they are also really friendly and helpful. I have never had bad service here. Today we were served by the lovely Alona, as we have been on several visits in the last couple of years. As always she brightened the day from the moment she came to our table. Her genuinely friendly personality always makes us feel welcome and she is so helpful. It makes such a difference when a restauant has such good quality staff. Thank you for another really enjoyable visit.

It has been nearly 30 years since the last time I visited Blackpool and had Fish & Chips at Yorkshire Fisheries. This time I returned with my son, like with my father 30 or so years ago. With many changes in ownership, it is still the best chippy in Blackpool.
We had to queue for a late lunch ensuring the food was indeed freshly cooked to order, Cod and chips and a large Haddock and chips with mushy peas. The very well spoken Lady, I guess was the owner, was very polite and efficient, and appeared to enjoy welcoming and serving its customers. She reminded us that since It may be at least 10 minutes due to the busy lunch service before our order arrived. We enjoyed the strong tea until our food arrived. Clean cut and fresh chips. Both the Cod and Haddock were perfectly cooked and fresh to the taste. The mushy peas could do with a larger portion and a little light with seasoning. Otherwise a perfect fish & chips experience. Fully recommended.

We chose Here for dinner on Friday eve. It was very busy but we were greeted and seated as soon as there was space. We gave our order in and it was brought to the table by a friendly server who I learnt today was Alona (sorry if the spelling isn't correct) very pleasant and attentive. We ordered the special with peas and bread and butter what a fantastic meal for the price. 14.75 hot and freshly cooked crunchy batter and pure white cod. Lovely soft chips. . They were so good we went today for lunch. We ordered a regular cod with small chips today though. Alona served us again remembered us and was again brilliant.
