Great Indian place, with plenty of Authentic Indian dishes. Highly recommended to try apart from their fish and chips.
When you are hot and tired and needing something to tide you over, to get some energy to continue our walk, we stopped in the Blue Mermaid. Because we wanted a kids meal of scampi and chips, £5.50 each, the face of the server was not impressed. She was trying to get us to order the senior portion. We sat in to eat. Omg, the food was disgusting, the chips seemed as though they were a couple of days old and the scampi were frozen from a packet. When we are by the sea would it be so hard to have fresh. By the time it came the scampi was burning hot and chips were luke warm. The scampi, 5 pieces, were laid out on the chips. Probably to hide how rough they were. I don't understand the high reviews. To be honest we definitely will not return. I'm sure there are better ones near by.
Under new ownership since my last visit.
Staff polite, friendly and attentive.
Update.......open and fast becoming the best fish and chip shop in the south east, excellent produce and a must when im down visiting from London...........
Definitely the best cod and chips I've had for a long time. Tryed this place after being disappointed with a competitor on the seafront which normally use. Will only use this fish and chip shop now! Perfect fish and batter and some delightful chips. Good portions and Really good curry sauce as well. Staff friendly, attentive and helpful. Definitely highly recommend.
Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long long time. Came to Deal in the pouring rain and was so happy to find this fish bar. The portions were huge. The batter light. Fresh fish. Delicious. The price was fine, but why not have complimentary ketchup? I don’t like paying for ketchup as an extra. TBH it stopped me buying a round of tea and soft drinks. Anyway, staff were friendly and accommodating. Great place go there! Choose the mermaid!
Enjoyed the food so much that I didn’t take pictures.
Being the second time in a long while after visiting, after a bad experience previously (around four years ago) it seemed reasonable to visit to give here another try. Unfortunately, it wasn't great...
Having come to spend the evening on Deal beach as an end to a three day trip, some chips sounded like a good idea. Having seen many good reviews, it looked like a promising place to go, close to the sea...
The atmosphere of the shop was nice, with a lovely wallpaper and collection of instruments- as a musician, this was great to see!
Staff were fast to attend and fast to complete the order- a medium portion of chips.
However, upon leaving, after opening the box, it was clear the portion size for the £2.40 medium chips was quite small- a similar portion size to a kids meal! I would understand it could have been an accident, but was made worse by the fact the chips tasted, and a few looked / tasted undercooked and out of date!
Such a shame as the place looked nice, and the reviews made it look promising!!
Great family run Fish & Chips. Food is served hot and fresh from the fryer.
Room to eat in if you prefer and a piano if you have the talent.
Competitively priced and not expensive. A few minutes walk from the high street and the beach.
Why so good? Simply put, great service and food. The pies are amazing, not your usual mass-produced offerings. These are succulent with thick gravy, chunks of real meat and incredible pastry.
A very pleasant surprise.
Stopped off with the old man today for some cod and chips. Probably the best little fish and shop I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Its a small shop with a few sturdy, comfortable clean chairs and tables. Some pretty nice art work decorate the walls, which are also for sale. A piano sits along the wall as you walk in. As we waited for our food, the friendly owner gave us a little tune. He then later picked up a guitar that was hanging on the wall and began to strum, what sounded like, a Mediterranean melody. Apparently, the owners musically gifted son occasionally makes an appearance, and plays classical pieces on the piano.
The fish and chips arrived after waiting for the cod to be freshly fried. Now, I've been to few fish bars in Deal which have at best been mediocre. This, however, was in a different league. The fish was perfectly cooked and a lovely golden colour to the crispy batter. The hand cut chips were how I remember chips used to be years ago. Soft and fluffy on the inside with a nice texture to the skin. Quite simply, this is the best I've tasted in a very long time. The cup of tea I ordered was just how I like it as well. If you're ever in Deal and are contemplating going to one of the many fish bars along the seafront, my I suggest you give this cosy little place a try instead. You won't be disappointed.
