Ernie Beckets Fish and Chips

Proper seaside fish and chips! Nothing better.

visited ernie beckets fish and chip restaurant about 2weeks ago and i must say the fish and chips were beautiful, the fish which we asked to be lightly battered was amazng, the staff were very attentive, really enjoyed are meal. will be returning without a doubt.

Great fresh fish, big portions which we liked! Heartly reccomend!

i am a regular at ernie becketts and i would rather wait for my food knowing it has been cooked fresh for me, not sat up there for ages going dry like some of the other chip shops.
it helps as well that the staff are very friendly and well mannered i would recommend this chip shop to anybody!
as i am a regular if they catch me walking up the street they will put my food in ready or have it ready for me as i have the same every week which i think is good customer relations this is the chippy to be at in cleethorpes. i went in there today and there was 2 spanish chefs wantin the know how they cooked there fish and was very impressed
is were you will see it and it just goes to show that if they have chosen becketts out of all the other chippies there is obvoulsy a reason for that !!!

Although Ernie’s is a bit of an institution in the Grimsby/​Cleethorpes area, i would say it’s good but not great. The takeaway part of the shop can be slow at serving at times but this is down to not making mountains of chips and doing little but often. The café bit is fine but a little cramped. The fish and chips are excellent and so are the fishcakes.

Now I can only give this three stars although someone else would give it five.
This is purely because I am vegetarian and they cook in beef dripping.
This place is incredibly well known, not only for the sheer excellence of his fish and chips. (haddock only which is just as well given the meltdown of the cod stocks), but also the virulent green of his mushy peas. I do like mushy peas.
Cooked in beef dripping, coated in a top secret batter, the fish is straight from Grimsby up the road. Grimsby and Cleethorpes merge into each other at some point.
Homemade fish cakes are a speciality and the chips are cut in their own kitchen.
It is take away plus café with 38 seats. Decorated in a maritime theme it is very seaside if you know what I mean.
So if you want traditional, fresh fare this is it.
