Royal Guard Fish And Chips

Those of us who are from Stamford or have been around awhile know that this is NOT the original Royal Fish and Chips from years gone by! Back in the day, they used to literally make the batter on site and it was the crunchiest, most beautiful golden brown crispy fish you ever saw! There was nothing like it. What we had today? the greasiest, soggiest, most tasteless and uncrispy fish and French fries ever! We also ordered popcorn shrimp and I saw him bring the frozen box of shrimp out of the freezer! Don't waste your $$.

This is my mom's favorite Fish & Chips spot. I'm not much of fish fan but I must admit their fish is pretty good, I even order it a few times myself. It is always clean and fresh! Recently they changed their fries style from skinny shoe string to a thicker cut, I like it. But my favorite thing to order here is the chicken tenders. They are literally PERFECT. I have never had a chicken finger from here that was bad. All beautiful white meat, not chewy, thinly cut with the perfect amount of breading, fried to perfection. No seriously. They are perfect. Their honey mustard is my favorite, bbq sauce is good too! My only suggestion to any reader planning to go here is once you get home open the "hot bag" fast because the steam from the food will soggy/soften up the crunchy fried fish. The owners are very kind people too. Just go!

My first experience of this was the smell of old grease !! You can't call a place fish and chips when you don't have more then 2 fish dishes on the menu. I never looked at the reviews until now but the pics looks like it was battered in old flour & fried. I can't get over the smell in order to eat here.. Not a good look Royal Guard Fish & Chips
