Franco's Fish Shop

Franco's Fish Shop has quickly become one of the names locals mention when arguing over the best chippy in Porthcawl. Rated 4.7 out of 5 on Tripadvisor from around a hundred reviews, it wins people over with freshly cooked fish in a light, crisp batter and generous helpings of thick-cut, golden-brown chips. Plenty of customers who have worked their way around the town's other fryers say they keep coming back here for the quality and the portion sizes.

The shop is regularly praised for being spotlessly clean, from the counter through to the seating, and the team have a warm, welcoming way with regulars and first-timers alike. It is a straightforward, good-value sort of place that does the seaside staples properly, whether you want a classic Fish And Chips to eat in or a parcel to carry home. For honest fish and chips done well, Franco's has made a real mark in Porthcawl.
