This remains my very favourite fish and chip place. The halibut is such better quality than I get other places and the chips are perfect every time.

We have been going to Balmoral Fish & Chips for years. We usually order two Halibut & one Chips for takeout for two of us to share. Always very tasty and good sized portions.

Ordered the platter with fish, chips, shrimp, and scallops. Good price, delicious food, best fish and chips I've had outside a pub in years, and I've tried almost every fish and chips place in the area. Definitely good portion size, food was still hot when I got it thanks to the care with which it was packages. You can taste that they use good, clean oil to fry with, the fish tastes fresh and it nice and thick, the scallops and shrimp were also a really good size. Can't say enough good things about this place!

Ordered the grouper and chips. It was ok. The fries(aka chips) were well done. Wasn't over cooked. Never had grouper like this before. Staff is friendly. Place is nicely decorated.

We lost our old fish and chips place and I can’t stand the ‘chain’ versions. I’ve been hunting for a replacement in Durham....and found it! There were super fast and friendly but more importantly the fish and chips are awesome (even taking home to eat) The coleslaw is the classic style my wife and a must have with pepper. I’m so glad we tried it!

This was our first time ordering fish and chips in Ajax and it was absolutely delicious! Being from England these certaintly compared to home and i would recommend them to everyone! We ordered a cod and haddock combo and both pieces of fish were very fresh, great sized portions and they both had the perfect amount of batter full of flavour! The chips were thick, fresh and tasted just like they do at home. I also ordered a small portion of mushy peas that were delicious also. Overall everything came very well wrapped and presented, great fresh and hot portions and we shall be back 100%!
