mugged off with old fish!!
Visited new regal fish bar on Saturday
Ordered three large cod. Was told fish would be cooked now and 15 mins wait which I was fine with. Short while later the owner came out spoke with the server who moved two regular fish from hot cabinet to the side.
When my order was ready the server man packed first large fish then second large fish then advised me I could have two regular fish in place of the third large fish. I told them this was not what I had ordered! I had ordered three large cod £43.70p ( a large fish offered £12 a regular fish £9.
The owner the said he only had two large cod. I asked why was I not told this at the time and why did they accept my order and charge me for 3 large cod? No answer simply repeated his offer of substitute of two regular in place of one large cod!
I have previously been in this position and I know the regular fish offered has been sat in the hot cabinet for good few hours so much that the fish was hard and dehydrated. The server was able to pick up the two regular cod with one grip of the tongs!
I was under pressure to take the order as had family visiting waiting at home.
Do not fall for this strategy of passing off old dry fish on.
Mugged off ! I will never go there again!
