"Not from here so wasn't sure what fish n chip shop was good or not. Gave this place a try and was not disappointed. The fish was beautiful as were the chips. But the real star was the sweet n sour pork. I liked that they put the sauce in a separate container so the pork stayed nice and crisp. Will eat from here again!"

"What a gem in a small town! I was really impressed with the quality of the food and service at Fish King. The Chinese takeaways were delicious, freshly cooked, and served in generous portions. The flavours were spot on and clearly made with care. The service was friendly, fast, and welcoming – a lovely experience overall. Full marks from me – highly recommended!"

"Very open and comfortable seating area, tidy and organized appearance inside. Sweet and sour pork is my jam, and It's been my jam since ever. However, the sweet and sour pork I received tonight is possibly the best I've ever had! I was met with amazing service and the food arrived promptly. I sincerely enjoyed having the sauce and pork in separate containers, though I merged the two per normal, I can see how one may enjoy using the sauce as a dip, and I must admit I may well surely be attempting that next time."
