Takeaway Test: Crosspool Fish Bar, Sheffield
At the end of the week in Crosspool there’s a sizeable queue in the fish bar and the staff are, thankfully, prepared - stacks of cod and haddock are on standby, freshly fried and just waiting to be served.
The cod’s the star. The batter’s crisp, a deep golden colour, and happily the skin’s left on, which only adds to the flavour. Beneath all this lies abundant, perfectly white fish.

Hide AdA generous serving of chips also get the thumbs-up - not too dry, but not overly soggy either.
Mushy peas round off the plate - Crosspool’s have an intriguing, slightly spiced flavour. No-one would pretend that fish and chips is wildly adventurous - but, done right, it’s one of the most satisfying of dishes. We paid £12.30 for two.
