This is probably the best fish and chips I have had. We ate in and the batter was crispy and the fish white and moist. The chips were cooked to perfection. The waitress was attentive and accommodating. The chef even came to our table to ask if everything was good. Perfection!

Really enjoyed this place for tea yesterday. Our order was taken perfectly, and arrived promptly. Everything correct. Offered us sauces and anything else we needed. Perfect service even when it got busier. Food was delicious. The staff are all so lovely as well. Very inclusive and diverse set of staff, make you feel very welcome! Would definitely eat here again! Hopefully next time the fog goes away so we see the beautiful views.

Wonderful. The best cooked, best sourced Jumbo Cod I ever had. The restaurant is spaceous and well designed with spectacular views of Scarborough Bay. Just walk up East borough from the promenade, #55 is on the left about 3/4 the way up. The fish, the service and the view more than reward your climb.
Parking
Car parks are dotted about behind Scarborough sea front. You can park for 40 minutes outside the restaurant.

Outstanding restaurant beautifully designed with fabulous views across Scarborough bay this has to rank alongside the best chip shops in town the care and attention to detail lavished on the food are up there with the very best in the industry with quality ingredients and careful preparation it will go from strength to strength … top marks for the fish platter which is outstanding value my only criticism is the prices are a bit low ! We were lucky enough to be shown around the kitchen and preparation are the staff were so helpful … thank you !

This was an excellent no nonsense fish and chips restaurant. The food was amazing, and there were no complaints at the table at all (I had the cod fish loin - in the picture). They also had the choice of cod or haddock and there was large haddock and a small haddock which suited my family just fine. The service was lovely, there was a young blonde lass and a lady with purple hair, both very helpful and not afraid to join in with a laugh with us. If we’re in Scarborough again we will definitely come back! The place itself looked very new and modern and clean (the photo shows the table with no chairs but they were closing up as we were leaving). The view of the seaside was also a lovely addition :) very pleased with our experience I’m surprised it wasn’t as busy - definitely come here if you want your money well spent.

Another tick off my "Yorkshire fish and chips tour". Excellent service, excellent food. The little things matter, such as being brought a glass of ice for your drinks without asking - that's the attention I like. Good size portions and a sublime taste to all of the food. All beef dripping, not a hint of vegetable oil. Curry sauce was good and always makes a difference. Prices good, and we filled up with alcohol as well, so just under £50 for two was fine for an evening supper. Have a cup of tea and you'll save a bit, obviously, but if you get a table near the balcony with a sea view, like we did, then I'd suggest that you just get into the mood and enjoy the moment. Nothing to complain about here and they make you feel like the valued client that you are.

What a find. Great food, great service and really dog friendly. As we took our seats the waitress asked if our dog wanted a sausage - of course he did. Then we ordered and fairly quickly after were served beautifully cooked cod, one was the jumbo, which was massive. The other came with swapped out buttery mash. Both meals were fresh and super tasty. Good Job.

Happy and friendly staff, very polite. Everything was lovely and clean, top level hygiene. Fish was the best I've ever eaten, so fresh, wild caught and tender. The batter was perfectly cooked, soft with a slight crisp. Highly Recommend

Absolutely perfect fish & chips. Nicest battered fish I had. You can really tell the difference that they use cod loin. The friendliest staff with a warm welcome. The restaurant has a great seaview & is really clean & comfortable. This will be our go-to for fish & chips in the future x

First fish and chips after almost 3 years living in Germany! Fantastic food! A storm was battening the streets - roof tiles everywhere- so we ate in at the restaurant. Food was fantastic: fresh cut chips, large fish with beautifully crispy batter. The portions were large; good local beer too! Generous sides (went for the holy trinity of peas, gravy and curry) Staff were friendly and service was fast. Will definitely go back - hopefully a lot sooner than another 3 years!

What can I say but 10/10, from entering the takeaway, the guy who served us was polite and chatting to us. I have to say the fish, chips & mushy peas was absolutley gorgeous. I’m a lady from Hull with long Celt fish & chis shops but Catxh 55 was amazing. Will be back next time in Scarborough.

Great chippy with fantastic staff and atmosphere. All the staff go out of their way to help and have good chat and sense of humour. It feels like there is a focus on customer service training. Food is fried in plant oil so great for vegans... Not a lot of these in Scarborough.

We had cod, chips and mushy peas, haddock, chips and curry sauce, 2 pints of Scarborough Fair IPA. Not the cheapest at £43.38 but absolutely delicious and worth the money. We had a window seat overlooking the beach. Totally recommend this place. All cooked to order, the batter, light and crispy and the fish perfect
