pete's fish and chips

best fish and chips i've ever had - but way overpriced. this is the best fish and chips i've ever tasted. it's way too expensive, so i can only afford to go on special occasions. you have to get a large piece of the fish if you want to get filled. it taste very fresh and is cooked to perfection. it's the "filet mignon" of fish.

my only other complaint besides the price is they serve you the fish on top of the fries in a very small basket. so it's hard to eat your food.

put it on a plate and lower your prices please. but i can also understand the high prices given the quality of the food.

a big disappointment. i went into pete's fish and chips with high expectations due to the ratings i had read. i assumed that the prices on the menu would be commensurate to the quality of the fare. i was sadly mistaken.
the fries, while large, were previously frozen.
this, when improperly cooked, result in a potato with a greasy, semi-crisp exterior and a mushy undercooked interior.
they should taste the difference of a fresh , cold water soaked, fried potato.
as for the cod. it tasted as though it was also previously frozen, which when thawed and fried, results in a dry, overcooked, tasteless piece of fish. the batter, while attractive to the eye when fried, was greasy, overcooked and without the delicious flavor that makes for a tasty english fish and chips.
i found it interesting that the owner, when i tried to tell him of my opinion, shoved a written critique from some newspaper lauding his fare, and said this was written by a real professional, ignorantly and arrogantly assuming i don't know what i am talking about. i guess he showed me my place...or maybe not. so sad.
overall my experience results in the following only as a rating for:
the fish and chips,
not anything else on the menu.

i would not recommend this store.

there are numerous establishments that serve much better fish and chips..berts bar, the twisted conch, the cadillac, long john silvers, to name a few.

pete's fish & chips, del prado blvd., cape coral, fl., here is my 2 cents on the food and chatter.

i got a regular order  1 fish and fries( not original type of chips) with 2 ounces of cole slaw. $11.95

beside the cole slaw being small, it was not very good. too sour.

the fish was a bit under cook...it was too moist but passable.

the other fish & chip joint gives you 2 piece with real chips.

i did pick up a steak/mushroom pastry for home very good.

if you do not like driving 20-30 minutes for fish and chips this is a good place.

service bright and cheery.

very tasty!  we got the fish & chips and the fish, chicken, & chips.

lovely little place, it was packed when we arrived and remained so throughout our entire lunch.  one table would empty and folks would immediately fill it.  several takeout orders went out as well during the 30-45 minutes we were there.

both lunches came with coleslaw and the standard trio of toppings was on every table; ketchup, malt vinegar, and tartar sauce.

we also got two pasties to take home.  i'll report back in once we try those.

verdict - good food and lovely staff!

amazing fish and chips! small hole in the wall type of place with cute decorations and friendly sercice. food is top notch, exactly what you'd get in england!

excellent fish and chips. pete's serves some of the best fried fish i ever ate! moist, tasty icelandic cod with a delicious golden batter. the large portion consists of one huge filet, about 9-10 inches long. on our first time, the bride and i split one large filet and once we tasted how good it was, we immediately ordered another. the chips and slaw were also very good. $11 for the large meal. the non-alcohol drink selection is somewhat limited, but we got by. there are only a couple dozen seats or so in this strip mall location, so get there early! they also have fried shrimp and chicken, but we have not tried it yet.

first time customer. i have to say this place is top notch. the fish was so wonderful! we ordered ours to go and when picking it up we got a nod from the kitchen which was a special touch. the fish was fresh, hot & perfectly breaded and fried. it wasn't greasy and it did not have that old fishy taste you get at some places. pete's fish and chips just earned a new loyal customer. thank you for a great dinner!

i have some friends back in georgia from south africa. he turned me on to true fish and chip and i had been missing that wonderful meal down here. pete's fish & chip are exactly what i was looking for. if you know what true fish & chips are you will love this place.

after extensive research on where to get a good fish sandwich, and reading reviews, we were eager to give it a try. i can't begin to tell you of our dissapointment. the sandwich was small, the price wasn't, due in part to the prices online not matching the real prices. and since when do you add tarter sauce to someone's sandwich, without asking???? i hate tarter sauce!!! the so called 'chips' are nothing more than soggy potatoes and the cole slaw was't tasteless. i guess we'll just have to wait until we go back north, to enjoy a real 1 pound cod sandwich!

delicous. petes fish and chips is the best fish and chips ive had in southwest florida and ive lived here 24 years . this was just as good as new england fish and chips if not better . thank you urbanspoon !

we ate here for lunch today. a little pricey, but excellent. the fish and chips were very good...not too much breading on the fish...with a good cod fish. i will go again.

just lovely!. so we stopped in last night for a quick bite... and glad we did.
it was just 3 of us, so we shared the family pack.. it was just enough and was so good.
the place was clean and service was great... we were eating in 5 minutes...
we will be back!!

awesome fish and shrimp. was driving by and saw the sign. wife and i had the fish shrimp combo. ....was awesome and service the same. ....will be going back soon. ....don't miss this one....:)

jolly good time!!!. my grandmother and i ate here for lunch. the shrimp were so huge i had to take two bites out of them!!! i will definitely be going back for more!!! pete is great!

great fish n chips. this is authentic... yes, the close early but this is a family run business and they do not want to hand it off to some un-professionals... if you tip, they donate the tip... get there before 7pm... they close at 7:30... worth the trade-off... if you read the reviews, they are negative because the came late... give it a try... help the wounded warriors by leaving at tip...
