The Fisherman’s Wife

Another treasure for Bishopthorpe Rd., which is starting to get quite the collection!
What helps set this place apart from your average fish and chips place is the dining area in the back… while not large, it’s charming and cheap as, well… chips, so it’s a great place to pop in if you’re looking for a quick meal in the area without breaking the bank. They even do a perfectly portioned, i.e. not tiny, 300 calorie option that is more than enough for me… especially if I’ve squeezed in a starter!
Aside from the usual suspects they have some wonderful calamari, not to be missed if they have them when you’re in, and a dessert counter with some goodies. In the end this is a fish and chips place though, so be in the mood for that if your’e popping in. On that front, I won’t say they’re the best I’ve ever had sadly, so I wouldn’t drive through the city to get them, but they are very good and I’ve happily been here quite a few times.
Ther service in the back is always friendly, but you may have to be a bit patient… given the relatively small size of the place there’s not alway a server in there with you, but it’s never really caused a problem… just something to be aware of.
They also serve beer and cider in the back when you dine in, and I imagine a wine of some variety as well.
The front is a standard fish and chip shop, but still a cut above in the theme and cleanliness so it’s also worth stopping by for that if you’re in the mood and it’s en-​route to you destination.

Great Service, fresh hot fish, the only downside was the chips (fries), not the best, Other than that a great Fish and Chip Shop…
