“ Best chip shop in Barry. The chips are alway hot and fresh. And their chicken strip wraps omg are amazing. The staff are are so welcoming and friendly I always have a good conversation with them. Recommend to everyone I no. No chip shop in Barry compares to them ”
“ Absolutely fantastic experience! The fish was incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. I had mine about two hours later, and it was still crunchy and delicious, which says a lot about the quality. On top of that, the hospitality was warm and welcoming. Couldn’t ask for more! ”
“ Best chippy in Barry for me. Kebabs are spot on, the chicken just melts in your mouth. Staff are really friendly and always look after their customers. Well worth the money, the portions are just right. Delicious food. ”
“ Wow!!!! This fish and chips shop came recommended to us on a day trip to Barry Island and my gosh it didn't dissapoint the food was cooked fresh to order the fish was like a whale and fried to perfection as were the chips! Considering it is right on the beach the prices were very fair and the staff are so welcoming! We will definitely be back again. Honestly best fish and chips we have had in a long time! ”
“ You absolutely have to try Hungry Shark if you're looking for fantastic fish and chips! I went near closing time and ordered the chips with cheese and Irish curry sauce and a battered sausage, and it was all absolutely perfect. What really stood out, though, was the incredible generosity of the staff. Even though it was late, they provided us with some amazing freebies: an additional portion of chips and curry sauce, some sausages, and a chicken and mushroom pie! Beyond the delicious food and unexpected extras, the staff were incredibly friendly and served us promptly. It was a brilliant experience all around! ”
“ Great service from the staff, A clean and well presented food shop..staff friendly and happy to chat,..love the chicken kebab .. ”
“ I don’t usually do reviews but this is hand on heart the best chip shop I’ve ever been to. This was my second visit and on both occasions I had fish bites and chips. It was hands down the best fish and chips I’ve had, not just in Barry but anywhere. The chips were perfect, beautifully cooked and not a nasty black bit in sight! The fish bites were enormous, skinned, 100% white and in beautifully crisp batter. The price was really reasonable too. I live in Newport but travel the approximate 45 minute journey to go to this chip shop it is that good. I have never felt so passionate about recommending a food establishment. The service is also outstanding. The first time I went it was 5 to 9 and it turned out they shut at 9. They still did fish and chips for me though and nothing ever seems to be too much trouble. It goes without saying I recommend anyone in the area try this place!! ”
“ Excellent fish and chips. I went for the jumbo, a large cod piece with ample chips. The fish was well cooked and the batter was light and crispy. The chips were not greasy at all. Their service was excellent, they even gave their own chilli sauce, which they don't usually give out. ”
