Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.

I buy from them once a week. The fish (haddock is my choice) is always delicious as are the chips and what I like about the chips is that is exactly what they are. Other places give you some chips and a lot of potato "shrapnel." I first went after I had been given some free samples of cod from them in King Street. I have bought carry outs and I have sat in and have found the staff delightful, helpful and friendly.

I always love going to Frydays, the staff are wonderful and always make an effort to have a chat/get to know regulars. A lovely family run business. As for the food, I come with friends, and with family and it’s our go to fish and chip shop. The peri peri burger and the peri peri chicken. The chips portions are always so big so I ask for them to put less. I love the range of food in the menu. Value for money on the price too.

I love this little place. The fish and chips are always spot on. No need to pay for extras. Tea and bread come with the meal. The tea is Ringtons so no cutting corners on value. The staff are all very friendly and always make you feel welcome. Frydays is the best fish and chip shop in South Shields.

The fish is fabulous, you really have to try the fish bites. The thing that very much lets the place down is the price. The soft drinks for example are way overpriced, the cans alone are almost double the usual price you would pay for a branded can of cola/orange anywhere else. If all you are after is some chips try elsewhere. I dont know where they buy in from but they are close to the worst chip shop chips Ive had in many a year. Fair enough not many chip shops actually use a machine to cut their own chips these days, but Frydays chips are bought in frozen chips and not of good quality at all, and look and taste very much like the ones you buy at the supermarket, stick in the freezer and stick in the oven/ or your frying pan. Dry and the potato inside, I dont know how they quite manage it is also dry and not very soft or fluffy at all as chips should be. Cant enjoy them, cant even justify the calorific treat I was giving myself getting them in the first place now. (Binned). As I say, their fish is superb as is their batter, however will I ever go back? No. So would suggest if its just a bag of chips you are after then just walk for 5 or 6 minutes where other fish shops are available and go there.

We were transitioning from the Metro to ferry which required passing Frydays. So glad we stopped. Chips and fish (cod bites) perfectly cooked and they even threw in some scraps. Quick and pleasant service from the staff.

Today was the second time I have eaten here . The whitest freshes fish I have ever eaten cooked to perfection. Huge portions , the mushy peas , tartare sauce ,bread and butter and lovely coffee just how I like it made . The owner is a total delight as are her friendly staff . Can’t recommend Fridays highly enough

There's a lot of fish and chip shops in South Shields but Frydays is the most welcoming restaurant I've ever been to. The service is so friendly, the food is amazing, it's hard to choose from there extensive menu. It's definitely a must place to visit. You can only give it a try but you'll be back .🙂

Best ever chip shop in the north east! Have visited here multiple times with family and friends and each time have received excellent food and service! Family run chippy and owner Shaz always checks to make sure food is great and that we are happy. The fish and chips is the best one in South Shields, also love their burger and my favourite - the fish cake. An absolute gem in our home town of Shields - would recommend to everyone

Fridays is Next to the metro exchange in South Shields. There is seating indoors and outdoors and serves not just fish and chips. For this visit we just wanted to try the chips as we’d heard they were lovely. We chose a medium size, enough to share tray. They were lovely. Next time I fancy the chippy breakfast!

After hearing rave reviews about this place I decided to take the short trip from Newcastle to South Shields to find out for myself about the Fryday"s experience. I am very pleased to confirm that everything I heard lived up to the expectation. The food, staff, decor, and service made this a 10 out of 10 experience for me. Thank you.

I would like to thank you and your staff for looking after my mother in law last Friday. The fish and chips and scampi and chips were excellent. Every member of staff we interacted with were polite and helpful. You should be very proud of them all. Kind regards Ann Taylor

Fantastic family run restaurant, first time visiting for me, family have visited several times and came highly recommended. Couldn't fault a thing. Even the music was fantastic. Vegetarian option available although I opted for a cheese pattie meal. Customer service is the best I've experienced, exceptionally clean will definitely return. Great value for money.

I have visited many times and have to say I would not go anywhere else now for my fish and chips. Lovely owners, friendly staff and beautiful food at reasonable prices. You are all doing an excellent job! For anyone visiting South Shields I would highly recommend a visit. It’s just across the road from the new bus/metro interchange. Claire x

We had a takeaway from here. The fish, chips and batter were delicious! Drinks were a bit on the expensive side, though. Staff friendly. Will certainly go back when next in the area. Highly recommended.
