We ordered Fish, calamari and chips (the parcel). The owner very friendly and knows Paternoster in detail - we had a nice long chat with him.
However the fish was average, chips brown and calamari too spicy/chili and we had to through 90% of calamari away. The oil must have been old also. Maybe most of the issues are due to load shedding, but we have had much better fish, calamari and chips (even when compared to inland shops).
The owner is however very friendly and helpful, even lending us one of his bottle of vinegar (with request just to leave it in rental unit, as he would get it from the rental agency). We dropped it off at his shop the morning we left Paternoster.
Maybe when it is busier, it could be better, but we did not have a "Whoa" experience as expected, after reading other reviews of Fryers Delight.

Fried fish was good, however the chips were really brown, not sure if it was the oil that caused this.
No plastic knives were available, which made breaking into the fish abit difficult with just a plastic fork.

Snoek was very tasty, and chips fantastic. Proper big portions, reasonably priced.
It was a bit crowded, with not enough seating space for all the customers. Keep in mind that it is primarily a takeaway place. I would go back for quality of the food.

The snoek was amazing !! We actually ordered seconds. Didnt have high expectations for this little takeaway but wow it blew us away !! The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, well seasoned. They also provided sauce on the side and salad !! The staff are so friendly and helpful !! If you looking for a easy meal that packs flavour, you won’t be disappointed!! Also there is no meat on the menu so it’s perfect if you want strictly halaal food
