"Fantastic very fresh cod & chips small one. This fish & chip shop is tucked away and unless you are told about it highly unlikely you will find it. Waitress very friendly & attentive. Overall outstanding. October 2023"

"Four of use had a meal on a Tuesday night off season so it was pleasingly quiet. We all had fish and chips and asked for cooking with the skin removed. The result was exceptional. We unanimously agreed that this was one of the best F&C meals have ever had. The batter was perfect, crisp but not crunchy and not saturated with oil. The fish was tender and very high quality. The staff and owner were so helpful and friendly we just could not find fault with anything. Needless to say we will be looking forward to another visit next time we are in the region. If you like F&C this is a must visit."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic fish and chips at Peggotty’s Fish Shop Marbella! We had the cod and chips and it was hands down the best cod and chips I’ve ever had — perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavour. The onion rings were light, crispy, and delicious, not greasy at all. Portions were very generous, the service was excellent, and prices were very reasonable. We’re a family of four and every single one of us loved our meal. We’ll definitely be returning and will happily recommend Peggotty’s to friends. A real gem in Marbella!"

"Good alternative to Marlow's if at this part of the coast. Lovely staff. Professional and clean and efficient. I'd prefer the IVA to be just built into the menu pricing. The prices are higher than Marlows but I'd say the portions are larger. Really fresh food so I assume made to order. Will come again."
