It annoys me leaving reviews but in this case I felt it necessary and well deserved.. Best fish and chips in Halifax! New Lodge was my go too but this tops it now. Phoned in an order with 20 mins to go till closing. I could tell the fish was fresh as soon as I got it back to the truck and could smell it! Not greasy at all, big chunky white fish and the chips were tasty and just how I like. Everything fresh despite the time I ordered. Reasonably priced as well.. Well done that man! Highly recommend and will be my go too from now on.

I absolutely love Holmfield Fisheries & so does my nan (85yrs old). I used to go to fish shops in town but could never park anywhere but there is plenty of parking at Holmfield Fisheries. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, service is great, very quick and very reasonable prices and great portions too.

Had a fantastic meal at Holmfield fisheries! The fish was fresh, flaky, and wrapped in a perfectly crispy batter. The chips were golden, crunchy on the outside, and fluffy inside. Served hot with tasty mushy peas and curry sauce—everything was spot on! Great portions, friendly service, and good value for money. Definitely coming back!
