Masala Fish at Chicks N Fish

Finally tried some masala fish because my brother kept telling me how good it was.
This is the only place in this stretch that serves it.
Chicks N Fish specialize in Masala Fish and Tempura Prawns.
Basically it is your usual fried fish coated with spices which is delicious and reminds me of Sichuan style fish however it was a little bit salty.
The fish was soft and moist tasting like Pollock fish.
They offer more than just fried chicken, I love the Indian twist to it as they offer modern burgers, wraps with aromatic rice or noodles and scrumptious fries so they are doing it all!
Technically they told me it was maggi noodles they used and since no one else is serving this I had to give the tempura prawns noodle wrap a try.
Although this is new in the UK, I am sure you can get them in India such as noodles in Kati rolls etc.
The most creative thing I had was instant noodles pressed in a waffle maker to make waffle noodles.
I opted for their tempura prawns because this is one of their signatures items at £7.50 which is quite pricey but as a wrap with noodles it is only £8.50 and you get to try their Maggi Noodles.
As expected, I really liked it, inside the wrap was soft instant noodles complimented by the crispy Tempura coated bouncy prawns. I definitely got my moneys worth as it was big springy prawns inside.
As this is a new item, they are still improving the recipe. 
Personally I like the sauce served on the side so you can appreciate the noodles and prawns and then add spicy sauce accordingly to your spiciness levels.



Also tried their BBQ wings but the chicken was a little hard and dry.
So Masala fish and the noodle wrap is your best bet and I will also try the Tempura prawns because it would be nice to try their take on.
Tempura Prawns:
Can't fault these huge prawns with a spiced coating.


Spicy wings:
Nice when they fresh from the fryer.
You can tell when the chicken meat is glistening and not grey.

Noodles:
These are basically Maggi noodles but it was served in a foil dish which was a first.

Just an update, they have finalized the menu with popular items and now they have tasty BBQ lamb ribs served with peri peri salt chips.










For vegetarians, there is a really good menu with halloumi burgers zinger style!


As well as mains, finished off with this aromatic and delicate Kufli lolly which was creamy and delicious.
