"Great and fast customer service, delicious cod, fresh chips. Hudge portion! Highly recommended. Definitely will come back."
I had been before a couple of times and this time was an improved offering. I ordered a wild haddock on its own. The place was very busy as it was a Saturday night. They have now a few tables and chairs for sit in. Took quite as while for the fish to come. It was priced £4 .25 which is fairish. The young man serving was under pressure from telephone orders and persons coming in and forgot to give me my change. I went to the car to eat it. First impressions were that it was a decent size served on a bed of a few chips. The batter had become soggy very quickly. The chips were hard small squares and not very good. The haddock inside was super fresh and very good. It was hard to judge the batter...
I found myself in Newry lunchtime Friday and having read about local award wining fish chips I took the opportunity to try the Silverfin. We all can have off or bad days, this was theirs. I ordered COD and a Pastie. The little place looked clean and well staffed with 4 behind counter and one only other customer at lunchtime! I waited 15 mins for my order cooked from fresh! The Pastor tasted like no other I've ate in my sixty years and the small fish £4.95) was defiantly not COD! It was grey dry and tasted strong, not White and creamy rich tasting! The few chips served were cold and wooden! Bad tasting and badly cooked fish, as bad as I've ever had. I won't risk Silverfin again! Next time you...
The restaurant, which is an extension of the same fish distributor, serves decent fish but the frying technique is lacking at times. During my visit, I ordered a plaice which was a bit greasy and came battered like a cod, when I would have preferred it in breadcrumbs. The portion of chips was undercooked and soggy. The plaice itself was fresh, but with more careful cooking, it could have been exceptional. Overall, it was an okay dining experience for Newry.
I find it frustrating that our local fish and chip shops charge top prices for such poor quality. Just 20 miles away, I can get high-quality cod and chips, a drink, and sit-in service for a lower price. As a result, I have decided to stop visiting our local fish chip shops and instead frequent the Pit Stop in Kilkeel. It's disappointing that I have to make this choice.

The fresh smoked Cod at this restaurant is amazing - it's freshly battered and the best I've ever had. I always believe that you should dine in at a good fish and chips shop for the freshest experience. The interior is nothing fancy, but the staff is friendly, the food is fantastic, and the portions are generous.
We've been here a number of Tim, and will call in the future. It's over a mile from our house, and well worth the journey. Cod, plaice, smoked cod, can't be beaten anywhere near. But do stay away from the burgers.
Bought a small bag of chips here. Turned out to be a huge bag. Excellent chips, crisp and tasty and of course traditional. Slightly marred by someone outside calling me a ***** !
