Lovely food, lunch special for 10 was good value. Monkfish was massive portion and perfectly cooked. Much improved from when we visited 3 or 4 years ago

The Cod's Scallops is a nice fish and chips place with plenty of seating available, you can also get takeaway. The staff are always friendly and helpful. You usually don't have to wait for more than 5-10mins to get your food so quite quick service. The fish and chips is absolutely delicious, nice homemade chips.

Really enjoyable food. Different. Not the cheapest either but decent quality and great service. The portion of chips was huge, lovely fish (ordered a small cod but would be a large at many chippies) and the sauces (curry sauce and mushy peas..has to be done) were great too. I've read about the chips but we loved them. Not greasy at all which was brilliant. Trouble with Harborne is the parking (either busy or the feeling of having to pay outside of usual hours when there's plenty of options puts us off) so we don't often visit but would definitely return when we are off to Edgbaston or in the area.

We drove 30 miles to sample the delights & it worth every minute of the M6 traffic... We visited on a Tuesday afternoon, we were immediately greeted by a busy member of staff. We could clearly see they were busy, but they soon seated us at our table. All the staff were attentive and accommodating throughout our visit. Although it was very busy, our drinks, our food and our puddings were all served within a reasonable time frame. Every meal (2 adults, 2 children) was fantastic. Presentation, temperature, quality and taste all 10/10. We all enjoyed every mouthful. The children especially enjoyed their ice creams and activity packs... Well done to everyone at The Cod’s Scallops. You are all doing a sterling job. Great to have you and your multi award winning business in the West Midlands.

Fantastic Fish and Chip shop in the heart of Harborne. Excellent service backed by good quality fish and chips. Perfect for dining in or takeaway. We were greeted at the counter by friendly staff and were offered fried or baked fish, which is a great Idea. Clean, professional and good value. Recommended.

Came here for the first time last night (12th March) , my mums choice for her birthday meal a lovely chippie tea, and that it was! Service was lovely and the food was spot on. Although they had no mini cod left they compensated and gave us mini haddock that’s not on the menu. We loved the little rock sweets for afters too. Thank you to the staff for making my mums birthday a smooth one.

Love chip shop with plenty of space for seating inside and out. Very clean and classy. Large fish and chips were delicious. Fish was clearly fresh and batter light and crispy. Chips freshly cooked. Cost was 12.70. Take out available. Lots of options (scraps, sauces, buttered bread etc). Fish was large and chips more than enough for the fish. Highly recommended.
