Ahoy Roy Fish and Chips

Crispy, golden batter and juicy, fluffy fish define this standout Fish & Chips, with many praising the lack of oily residue thanks to the use of premium cottonseed oil. While most enjoy the crunchy texture and salty chips, one disgruntled diner warned of an unpleasantly thin fillet that felt more like a sandwich than seafood. This seaside spot is ideal for anyone seeking a fresh, non-greasy meal near the beach, especially those looking for a friendly atmosphere to enjoy a casual date or a seaside lunch.
