  Cheap & quick.
  The fish was pretty solid - not overly breaded. However, I prefer crispy fries and these were thick and pretty soggy.
  I tried the captains plate - you get all 3 fish - cod, haddock, & hake.
  Overall, not a bad choice when in the area.

  Yeah, I like Leo's Fish Bar in Manchester's increasingly cool Northern Quarter.  Everyone was friendly here and I noted there were a couple of delivery services coming to pick up food.  But I wanted to eat in and I ordered a Hake and Chips.  The hake fish was of good quality and perfectly fried to a light golden crisp. (See my photo.)  To the Hake I added malt vinegar and to my chips the popular northern English gravy which I found very tasty.  And all this for about 7 pounds!  Leo's is def one of Manchester's best chippies!

  Quite okay
  
  I went in, had some problems to order a meal perhaps my German school English has not the right accent.
  
  The food delivered to the table was fresh and tasteful, I ordered Chicken Shamarwan (not sure if I spell it right or got it right at all). Some Narn and Salad was part of the menu. For nearly 5 pounds it was a cheap and delicious meal. Salad had no dressing, I was asked if I would like to have a sauce, but didn't want any, so it was my fault. Narn bread was good.
  
  Besides from the waiter and the bad toilet it was a good snack.

  Leo's Fish Bar don't seem to know what they are doing at all. Their name states it is a Fish bar but they also sell chicken, they do takeaway with Just Eat, they sell donner beat, and even do eat in food.
  
  I don't like this approach as it makes it feel messy, and not a great place to eat in, and it makes me feel they are sacrificing quality and the nature of it being a fish and chip shop, by selling lots of other different things, making it more of a takeaway where you can sit and eat.
  
  The fish seems to be done fresh to order, as they don't do gluten free, I just came in with my friend who ordered his meal. He said he didn't enjoy it and it was very poor.
  
  Leo's Fish Bar rightly so are trying to try their best to survive in Manchester city center, even taking clubcard vouchers, but it isn't a very nice place to eat in, the staff don't seem too helpful and by selling so many foods, it ruins the nature of it being a homemade fish and chip shop, and when they is so many places to eat in Manchester, I really don't understand why someone would go to a takeaway, which doesn't even seem to know what it is doing.
  
  They didn't seem to have a gluten free menu either, and although it was reasonable, it could have been cleaner with nicer decor, especially in the seating and cooking areas.

  Being a visitor to England, I had to try fish and chips to see what it's all about and to see if it compares to what we have in the USA.Ordered a portion with mushy peas. Completely underseasoned. I had to dump a ton of salt on my food to get it to taste ok. Sorry Brits, I've had better fish and chips in the states. Hell, I could probably make better
