Introduction
Fish and chips is the quintessential British meal. We don’t know if it’s the fresh fish, crispy batter or the good old fashioned chunky chips, but Brits and visitors to the UK alike can’t get enough of our traditional seaside meal.
Discovering the best fish and chips in Cardiff is easy since the Welsh capital is right by the sea, you’ll be spoilt for choice. From breezy, chippy lunches on the bay to more elegant offerings, we’ve rounded up our top five fish and chip places that are easily accessible from your student accommodation in Cardiff!
The Posh Fish & Chip Company
Famous for its warm welcome and light but tasty, rich batter; this award-winning spot could well be your first port of call when exploring Cardiff’s fish and chip offering. The ‘posh’ twist boasts choices such as lobster-packed fish cakes or the calamari fish supper, so it’s one of the more refined options.
Cathays Fish Bar, Crwys Road
One of those shops that offers a little bit of everything, Cathays Fish Bar boasts fresh fish and chips as well as pizza, doner and pies.

Fintans Fish & Chips, Pentwyn
A fish and chip shop in Cardiff with a modern pub vibe, you’ll go for the warm welcome and smart branding but stay for the award-winning fish and chips. Or explore something a little different such as the seafood basket, the ‘dirty butty’ or how about sea bass in a prosecco batter?
