Fisherman's Kitchen

All seaside towns are inundated with fish and chip shops that tick the box for a traditional dinner by the water. The quality tends to vary from mediocre soggy chips to genuinely delicious versions of a classic, and as far as Portsmouth is concerned, Fisherman's Kitchen tops the list of chippys in the area.

Sat in the heart of Southsea, Fisherman’s Kitchen gives more of a restaurant vibe than your usual takeaway, with nautical themed decor and a selection of seating to dine in. The wooden panelling is painted a dark blue that matches the tiles on the counter, and white lines are painted across mirrors to resemble waves.

The menu offers all of the classic options like cod and chips, battered sausage and fish cakes, as well something a little different such as cockle popcorn, soft shell crab burger, and seafood scraps. The menu is relaxed, and focuses on quality produce, with fish fried fresh every day, using line caught fish and chips cut in store using local potatoes. Even the packaging is totally recyclable, meaning you can treat yourself without any of the guilt.

The Fisherman's Kitchen was born through a love of fish and chips, hoping to bring a modern twist with things like homemade sauces, loaded chips and seasonal specials. So whether you like your chips dipped in curry sauce or topped with blue cheese and bacon, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for here. Aside from the baps and bread rolls, the entire menu is even gluten free too, making it accessible to all.

So whether you’re looking to eat in the cosy restaurant, or walk with your dinner down to the beach, this is a spot not to be missed during a trip to the seaside.
