Cozy little spot nestled in a beautiful part of town with well-kept old houses and warehouses, and the canal nearby. Outside and in, it is a nice mix of clean, modern lines and the old rustic brick and pictures from days gone by.
That sets a backdrop for getting simple proper fish and chips (or chips, peas 'n gravy like my mate got) - eat in or carry out. The chips are right and the fish is superb - flaky, crispy, great batter!
All this made for a nice spot it's like to come back to.
We asked for a good fish and chips place, this was suggested and it didn't disappoint. Carryout or ample seating upstairs.
Really good fish and chips right next door to Cask on Liverpool St.....Cask allow you to eat your chippy tea in their bar - which makes the Friday night chippy ritual all the more pleasurable. Menu is exactly as you would expect - pies, battered sausage, cod, curry sauce and mushy peas - what else do you need!
As a final note, I dont know how others feel about this, but in my opinion, the best chip is the chip that is tinged brown with a slight (only very slight!) flop. Fish Hut does have these, but when they are queued out, they maybe dont always let them cook long enough to get that nice light brown colour....shame but they are hardly the only chippy in Britain to do that!
A family owned business since 1969, I used to work round the corner at Granada Studios ( the good ole days ) this was my local old fashioned fish and chip shop. A Friday crush I think :)
Reasonable price and fresh cod served daily, they refurbished about 2 years ago. You can now eat upstairs in the restaurant areas (very nice) chips are fat and tasty. Sausages and fish are yummy too.
The home made curry sauce and gravy is to shout about here. If your passing the definitely pop in and give this place a try. The only thing that stops me from giving in full marks is its always seems to be under staff and a bit of a wait for the food. It's totally worth it though because it's yummy

I have, I am ashamed to say, eaten at a Chip Shop twice this week. This does give a special power though - the power to review Chippies with astonishing prowess!
My visit to the Fish Hut today was actually quite a surprise - it's recently seen quite a face lift, both inside and out - gone are the grimy windows, the dingy counter and grungy posters (last one's a bit of a shame actually, I really like those!). It's in with the shiny glass, white walls and er... parallelogram shaped plates?
You can eat in, or take away - unlike the good old days though, you can tell you can eat in; it wasn't until today that I realised that there were tables!
We ate in, and it was good; a portion of chips, battered sausage and scallop (the potato kind, not the sea food kind). The size was great, the chips were nice and hot with nary a green, black or oddly undercooked one in sight and the batter on the scallop and sausage was crispy and light.
If you don't fancy fish and chips (who are you kidding?) there's actually a coffee shop upstairs too - I didn't get anything this time, but I think I'll be making a trip back because it smelt great! The coffee so shop was also doing baguettes and assorted sandwiches, so now you can suggest the chippy to even the most health conscious; safe in the knowledge that you can still get your plate of spuds...
I had to drop by the Victorian Market on Liverpool Street to pick up some art work before Christmas so witha colleague we dropped by at lunch...Well a cheeky Friday Chippy lunch was always going to win the day wasn't it?
The guy is super cool, the fish was cooked straight in front of us so we had to wait a bit but it was pretty good. The best dirty chippy let's say. The Fish Plaice in Didsbury for now wins the best chippy, but this one won the day and was tasty, served with a healthy portion of chips (for a "small" portion).
Tip: you can get your chippy and eat next door at Cask so long as you order a drink and you tidy up after yourself.
I have never been in the fish shop it's self but I have had chips from here on a couple of occasions when in cask next door and they are really good. I would definitely go in though looks really clean and modern from the outside.
As I reviewed Lowry Fish Bar yesterday, I thought I'd do the same for Fish Hut. A bit of a chippy theme, why not. It was another of those 'let's share a few chips on the go' moments for the boyfriend and myself, and he'd walked past Fish Hut several times meaning to try it. Talk about handily located! We were shopping along Deansgate and had to head this way anyway for the Castlefield Outdoor store.
First off, location location location. I ruddy love Liverpool Road. And it's right next to Cask, so you can get a nice pint once you're stomach's lined if you so fancy. We were taking our chips home and despite our shared aversion to takeaway chips in polystyrene cartons, they were still very tasty. They weren't stingy on the salt and vinegar either!
Never has cheap as chips been so appropriate. Happy full tummies all round...
All have to say is "WOW".
The portion is huge for £5. The fish was cooked perfectly crunchyroll and soft. Its very tasty w/add of vinager and salt on the fish and chips.
This is what a real chippy should be like, all of you other fish and chip shops take note.
Good quality fish and chips, excellent price for what it offers. Decent choice of accompaniments, very friendly staff, really quick service and very nice sitting area for a chippy. We'll definitely visit again soon!
Excellent Fish & Chip lunch. Perfect place to stop for a bit to eat in Dean's Gate.
Very reasonable prices for Fish n' Chips in Manchester £8 for large portion eat in 🙌.
The upstairs seating area is very nice.
The best fish and chips ever, very friendly with us, absolutely recommend… we will be back again and again and again 🥰

A small two story (+ the ground floor) food place with a reasonably good Fish and Chips. The portion was huge and although I am not a big fan of fish I found it well made. Required a bit of salt on my part though (the fries/chips as well). I had all three sauces with my F&C and all three were good. Probably the Gravy was the best. The owner/guy behind the counter was very friendly (he greated us warmly - we were from eastern Europe - just like him).
If you are looking for a place to try F&C, I would recommend visiting The Fish Hut!
After going to the Museum of Science and Industry on a visit to Manchester we really fancied some "proper chips".
A nice lady at the museum told us that there's a chippy nearby.
Wow what a find!
This chip shop is very much like one you'd find on a sea front.
Plenty of seating inside on two levels and very clean with charming black and white pics from days gone by adorning the walls.
It felt like a nice family atmosphere.
I did ask for my peas and curry sauce to be put on top of my chips- you can get them in separate pots by the way.
The staff were very friendly and professional.
My ten year old said that these were the best chips he'd had in his life, I think they're a close level-pegging with something you'd get at somewhere like Scarborough.
We'll definitely go here again next time we're in Manchester.
RECOMMENDED :)
Excellent fish and chips in Manchester city centre. Take out and also eat-in with seating upstairs - everywhere was clean and tidy. The food was very good. The chips were crisp and dry with a lovely thick piece of fish with a thin crisp batter. Traditional mushy peas made it complete. Recommended!
A very tasty and flaky fish. Huge portion sizes and home made chips. The only minus is that the chips and fish was a little "mushy".
If you like fish and chips like I do and are in the city, take a look... you don't have to wait long and you can eat and the location is perfect, there are lots of good pubs nearby
Fish hut is an excellent chippy with a really nice seating area upstairs. Prices are very reasonable and I will 100% be returning when Im in Manchester next.
I have to share this review about The Fish Hut which is near to Deans gate /Yclub .They serve the best , fresh and yummy fish n chips in Manchester. The staff is lovely and is accommodative even when you reach just before closing hours . Amazing place !
