X L Fisheries

One of the best fish and chips shops in the country, there’s always a queue whenever you go and there’s a dedicated car park.
They don’t do burgers, Kebabs and pizzas like some chippy’s do, they just do fish and chips (and the usual chip shop stuff-​peas, beans, pies, sausage, fishcakes etc) and do it really well.
I like good quality food, unfortunately Rotherham doesn’t have a very good selection of good quality restaurants or take-​aways but XL fisheries is one of the very few exceptions.
If you want a curry, the best one is Himalia for a takeaway and next best is Punjab at Whiston, Akbars for a sit down curry and Dynasty for a Chinese, I’ve tried just about every other takeaway in Rotherham and they vary from mediocre to total garbage.
XL fisheries ¹⁰⁄₁₀ for Rotherham and it’s in my top 5 best chip shops in the country and I’ve tried many far and wide, the wetherby whaler in wakefield is very good and pretty similar food but that is a restaurant too.

In over 20 years I’ve never had a bad portion of fish and chips from here. The owner has always been pleasant to me so cant comment on the other reviews. The food has always been excellent so have never needed to complain
