Sole Plaice

You're walking down Pydar Street past the usual chain suspects when you spot the queue snaking out of Sole Plaice. That's your first clue you've found something worth your time. This is takeaway fish and chips the way it should be: the batter's got that shatter to it, the fish inside is actually flaky rather than rubbery, and the chips have the kind of golden exterior that makes them worth burning your fingers for. It's the kind of place locals keep coming back to because it simply does one thing brilliantly. Nothing fancy, no gimmicks — just honest, well-executed seafood that won't break the bank.
