Central Fish Bar

Locals in Merthyr Tydfil know exactly where to head when a craving for something from the sea strikes. Central Fish Bar has become something of a neighbourhood staple, turning out freshly prepared seafood that feels a world away from the standard takeaway offering. This is proper chippy territory, but with a welcome emphasis on the ocean's bounty beyond just battered cod.

The menu here leans into the best of British seaside traditions, with crisp, golden-battered fish at its heart. You will find everything from classic haddock and cod to plump, juicy scampi, all cooked to order so the batter stays shatteringly light. They also do a mean selection of rice dishes and proper pies for those after something a little different. Whether you are grabbing dinner for the family or a solo portion of chips and scraps, this is honest, satisfying cooking that delivers every time. Order online for a speedy collection or delivery.
