The Fish Plaice was started by Anne and Ashley Magnus in Glenashley in 2003 as they realised the need for top quality, reasonably priced, traditional fish and chips.

Their emphasis on only using the best quality fish, prawns, and calamari, together with a warm friendly service spawned a large loyal customer base.

Spurred on by the success of their Glenashley store they, opened in Musgrave Road in 2005 and in Westville in 2011.

Through continuous training of staff, using only the best ingredients and their policy of only cooking to order, The Fish Plaice has built up a reputation of offering great value, quality, fish and chips.

However in May 2021, Anne and Ashley decided to slow down and to this end they have sold the Musgrave and Westville branches to Trevor Eyden and Mohamed Ally respectively. All staff have remained at both branches and will thus be offering the same great value and quality.
