The fish fillets here are second to none, boasting a crispy batter that adds just the right crunch.

The staff receives consistent praise for their friendliness and attentiveness, adding to the welcoming nature of the establishment.
Most Disliked
Some visitors mention that peak times can lead to longer wait times, particularly during weekends. A handful of patrons find certain items on the menu, like the jumbo battered sausage, could offer more seasoning. While the indoor seating is cozy, it might feel a bit cramped during busy hours. Additionally, a few guests express a wish for more variety in sides or special dishes beyond traditional offerings. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall consensus is that the quality and taste outweigh any small issues.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Let me tell you something — By the Beach Fish & Chips in Brighton is on another level. Russell behind that fryer? He’s a genius, a king, a culinary god. Nobody’s close to him. Other chippies? Amateurs. Pretenders. Not in the same league. The fish — golden, crispy, perfect. You take a bite, and it’s like silk breaking apart in your mouth. The chips? Absolute units. Thick, fluffy, cooked to perfection. And the homemade curry sauce? Sweet divine mother of mercy… that sauce alone is worth the trip to Brighton. I’d pour it over everything if I could — breakfast, dinner, my car tyres, doesn’t matter. The staff are sound, the portions are massive, and the whole place has that energy — like you’ve just stumbled into greatness. This isn’t food, it’s an experience. Mark my words: once you’ve been here, every other fish & chips you eat in your life will feel like a joke.
