Ideal Fish Bar

Ideal Fish Bar, a stalwart in the community for over two decades, has recently undergone significant changes with new management stepping in. The new owners appear to be grappling with maintaining the iconic standards set by their predecessors, especially in producing the once-celebrated cod and crisp, golden chips that patrons had come to love. Noteworthy is the shop's prime location, which has historically drawn consistent queues of loyal customers eager for their fix of traditional fish and chips.

Some elements have remained constant; service is reported as friendly, though sporadically slow, with wait times occasionally eclipsing the usual brisk efficiency for which the establishment was known. Signature items like the haddock and saveloy continue to feature prominently on the menu. However, a noticeable inconsistency in portion sizes and cooking quality has raised eyebrows among long-time visitors who fondly recall the delicately battered fish that was once a hallmark of the bar's culinary offer.

There have been murmurs regarding staffing, with concerns over appropriateness and legality, yet these are interspersed with mentions of committed service delivery. Although efforts have been made to convince customers that the quality remains intact by using the same ingredients as before, some regulars still express skepticism, noting a discernible change in texture and flavor. Despite the challenges, Ideal Fish Bar endures as many hope the establishment will recapture the essence of its storied past.
