Just brilliant - light and tasty. No grease and very satisfying - the sauces were a MUST have!

Tried the sample platter almost a year ago, taste OK. Tried again this time, price went up (understandable) but the quality was poor. Apart from the squid (which tasted like squid), others were quite bland, not unlike those frozen ones from supermarket (perhaps even worse than). Perhaps fish would be better as quite a few people ordered fish. But then, as far as freshness is concerned, it's hard to beat those from the fish&chips takeaway near the river. But the Fish House Ely has the advantage of being in a good location, could see that they are quite busy most of the time.

Please start opening on Sundays, I'm pregnant and your chips are the one and I'm sad because I can't come and get some because it's Sunday ??

Lovely bit of Haddock and chips.

I was dying for local fish & chips but when perusing the menu I spotted steak & kidney pie. The girl at the till asked me what I wanted so I gave her my order. Once ready she told me how much it was, so I pulled out my travel MasterCard to pay & was greeted with "cash only sir" & a tiny sliver of a notice at the bottom of the plastic shield was pointed to. So I put my card back in my pocket told her she'd have to put it back. I did say I had cash but not £s & left extremely disappointed that this business still works in the past.

So I bought the fish and chips and didn’t get a chance to consume so brought it home, only to realise the fat that came out of fish was like hard wax, suggesting Hydrogenated vegetable oil has been used. The side effects are well known of hydrogenated fat. Such a shame, such a beautiful shop. Hope this was one off event and going forward something healthy like rapeseed oil is used for frying.
A great spot to either eat indoors or outdoors. Very tasty and hot and great with a chilled bottle of coke. The fish house is so conveniently located as it is right in the city square, perfect for having a break from enjoying the market stalls and all the shops.

Usually chips from here are the best around, but they need to watch what they are serving up - today's portion was so dry & bitty and tasted bad, if you told me they were yesterday's left overs refried again I would believe it. I must have got the last scrapings out of the pan. Very disappointing (& at £3.50 a portion). They need to watch their quality as there are other chippies close by people can go to instead.

First time visiting and had the best fish for years, perfectly cooked, light golden crispy batter with perfect cod, fish was moist with being soggy, definitely going again

The best fish and chips in the town. Come along from Cambridge for this delicious fresh cooking fish and chips.

We ordered, sat down at a lovely table and our food arrived shortly after,freshly cooked. Delicious crisp fish,battered lightly and loads of chips. A great cup of tea to go with it. Would recommended absolutely. The prawns and squid were delist too. There is an outdoor courtyard at the rear to eat too.
Lovely food and great service. The Fish is always
