Mariondale Fisheries - Scarborough

I have been going to this seafood restaurant in Robin Hood's Bay for about 30 years and have always enjoyed their high-quality fish and chips as part of a wonderful day out. However, I will never go back again after my last experience. The portion size was small and the fish did not seem fresh at all. It tasted and felt like it had been frozen for too long. I will not be returning.

I have been going to this fish shop in Robin Hood's Bay for about 30 years, always enjoying their high-quality fish and chips as part of a great day out. However, on my most recent visit, I was extremely disappointed. The fish was terrible - a small portion that clearly was not fresh, with a texture and taste that suggested it had been frozen for too long. I will not be returning.

OK, this is a poor rating, but let's get this out of the way first, they were really good fish and chips, a nice meaty fish, crisp batter, good chips, mushy peas were, well, mushy peas and the curry source very nice, spicier than average.... Why the poor rating you ask? Well, we visited on a Friday evening, around 6:30pm at the end of half term week, there were a few people waiting for orders ahead of us, but it certainly wasn't busy. Our order was taken promptly through the hatch when we arrived and we were told they would give us a shout when ready... The wait, 42 minutes!!!!! I'm not sad enough to time it, but once I started getting bored with the wait, I could see the transaction time on my phone, gradually counting up to 42 minutes ago!! That's for 2 fish and chips, 2 sausage and chips and some peas and source. Honestly, you'd think they would be expecting customers at that time, but there was one guy by himself, taking orders and cooking/serving. Unfortunately, he was completely loosing track of order too, and we saw our fish and chips (not knowing they were ours), sat on the side waiting for several minutes before he finally shouted us. They were such good fish and chips we'd probably go again, but I'd certainly ask the wait time before ordering!!

A little gem of a fish and chip shop a few steps away down a side street near the front of Robin Hoods Bay. The fish was fresh, flaky and delicious, chips cooked to perfection, very tasty and the mushy peas amazing!

Absolutely lovely fish and chips. Some of the best I’ve ever had! Lovely thick, chunky fish, freshly cooked in light crispy batter with a generous portion of chips. Piping hot. This week I ate at magpies and trenchers in Whitby and I can honestly say that that both probably scored about a 5/6 out of 10! Maid Marians was more like a 9!!
