Smethwick Fish Bar

Updated Jan 2023: Bumped to 3 stars since new management? Food better ------ Previous review: Honest and truthful review from a 15+ years customer - this place has been great and the go-to place until Brexit and then early 2022, (post covid lockdown/restrictions), where this place has just been going down. Prices gone up and smaller portion size. I totally understand inflation is going up, but the price no longer reflects on the portion size and the standard of food Food not fresh/problems on MANY occasions; dark grey in chicken, kebab not cooked properly, grilled beef burger pre-made which is then placed back on the grill to re-heat = burnt, sausage lukewarm and smell off, fish smelling off). ~ maybe being re-used the next day? New staff who consistently do not communicate well with their customers. Ive never had any issues before covid. Its a real shame. They do not accept cards. So instead, I've been tightening up my belt and been trying out Fish King down the road MUCH better; try kebab with chips and compare, youll see. There are two positives: speed of service and pizza. Smethwick Fish Bar need to seriously up their game.

Been coming to the shop for over a year and generally pop in always on route from London and Oxford on my way back one heading north. Today was one two pieces of chicken n chips normally is a best n a leg and I got two legs literally as you opened at dinner time today 12pm. I was going to come back in but it went in the bin round the corner chips were nice as always but the chicken looked very, very poor I did taste some no usual juice so it says something I won't be stopping to the shop anymore . Shame really always rated the place
