Albany Fish Bar

Albany fish bar is excellent. Superb fish and chips and a range of other takeaway foods. Prices are reasonable and the hygiene excellent. The staff are friendly, what more could anyone want? This place has won many awards for their fish and chips, deservedly so in my opinion.

This evening we ordered 2 x fresh large cod and 3 large chips from this awful place and despite the so called glowing reviews it is obvious this place has deteriorated significantly since it changed ownership.

The miserable excuse for a serving assistant tried to convince us that the 2 sad looking pieces of cod in the heated display had just been fried but we said we would wait the 10 minutes for fresh fish to be fried.

What was eventually presented was absolutely atrocious. The fish was wrapped tightly in paper and predictably when we tried to remove the paper to eat the fish the batter came away. It was only when we saw this pathetic excuse for a fish and chip meal that it became apparent that the server had just arranged for the 2 bits of old fish to be refried and given to us. No other customers had entered into the shop and we noticed when leaving the shop that the fish had disappeared from the heated display unit.

The chips were just awful and lacked taste - again it was obvious these were not fresh.

A complete waste of £23.20p and lesson learnt for us not to visit this place again.

We would suggest that you avoid at all costs - there are much better places in Cardiff where you can get proper fish and chips which is fresh, tasty and served up to a high quality.

Chips were cold, curry was cold. The fish bites were soggy. It felt as if the chips were also refried. Only the chicken burger was nice. This used to be my favourite place to eat, but it has not been the same since the last year

Staff have an appaling attitude and 'surley' would be an understatement. Just bough fish and chips, cost over seven quid, the chips were bland and limp, and the fish had clearly been sitting there in the heated cabinet thing all day long, maybe even longer..? It was dry, and the batter was 'phlemy.' Used to be a good chippy but is rather rubbish now.... and the miserable staff don't help, really unfreindly individuals.

Great service here. Quality was good. One of our portions of fish had a soggy batter at bottom for some reason. We didn't have any vinegar either so not sure how that happened. Note: you'll probably need to park on side streets as that end gets busy with parked cars.

Absolutely horrific visit this evening, all the staff were just chatting and ignoring customers, ran out of essentials and when I eventually got served they messed my order up then told me I had to wait another 5 minutes for chips, I had already queued for 15 minutes, I was not prepared to wait so I said I was going to leave then I received abuse and humiliation as I walked out. I will not be back.

Just been served cold chips and curry sauce, an old jumbo sausage - vile! What's happened to this place? Won't be going back; been a customer for many many years.

I'm quite saddened to have to write this review because this is a good fish bar. But I've just opened my cod box to find that there are multiple pieces of what appear to be blue plastic inside my fish. Please see the attached image. I had to keep picking these pieces of plastic out from the flesh whilst eating it. I'm not sure if this is some kind of non-biodegradable plastic which the fish ingested but it was quite alarming to see it in my food.
