Heard about this place from a friend, and we just decided to try it. They make a great fish sandwich, and the fries are delicious as well.

A must visit. Everything is outstanding, from the service to the fish age chips to the desserts. Do yourself a favor and stop anytime you're in Biddeford.

Delicious! Vegetarian friendly, tempeh sandwich and best fish and chips around. But my favorite part was the curved baskets, they made it really easy to cut the fish. Don't forget desert, sea salt vanilla swirled with roasted pineapple was better then most ice cream shops.Kid-friendliness: My daughter loved waving through the window at everyone walking by.

Food is great, repeat customer.Service, picked up food and the person behind the counter left to bus a table after handling the person in front of me. some older guy working there handed me the food.i asked for forks and he said it was in the bag. i checked and there wasnt. I asked for napkins and he handed me 1. i asked for more he handed me 1 more.This one stingy and cheap action genuinely has me not wanting to order from here again

No complains with the food and service but did have one suggestion that might improve the experience. Ordered the small size order of fish and chips with a side of coleslaw. The portion was large and and served in a basket with a separate side of slaw. The problem was trying to eat the fish and chip in the curved sided basket with a knife and fork. A flat plate would have been so much easier to navigate and also add the side slaw to the dish. My dining partner and I both gave up trying to use the utensils and ended up picking up the battered fish and eating it with our hands. Not a positive experience.

I'm bias because I work here, but it's got good food and even better people :-)I reccomend the chicken sandwich and the curry sauce!
I've been following them for over a year now on Instagram and finally got the chance last weekend with a friend. We ordered the fish sandwich, the fried chicken sandwich, and a basket of fries. I can easily say that this was the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had and I've had them everywhere. It's a thing for me. If there's a fried chicken sandwich on the menu I have to try it. My friend loved her fried chicken sandwich. The fries were incredibly delicious. They came with a side of mayo or you could use ketchup or some malt vinegar if that floats your boat. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Oh by the way, they also had fresh homemade donuts on the counter and homemade ice cream for dessert.

Best fried fish ever. Just tried the fried squid sandwich last visit, it was amazing. Perfectly cooked, tender and crispy! Homemade ice cream is out of this world. Have been here 3 times now and will continue to go

The vibe in here is unmatched. Amazing and simple. Good beers, even better fried fish. Always local, always delicious.
Recommended: Yes, for outstanding fish and chips!Overall: A noteworthy fish and chips spot but be prepared for a small location with tight seating more suited for a date night.Snapshot: Food: 5/5 Drink: 4/5 Vibe: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Family-Friendly: 2/5Highlights:Perfect For: Enjoying excellently prepared fish in a small, intimate locationDon't Miss: The light, perfectly cooked fish and the uniquely delicious coleslawBonus Tip: Save room for their rotating selection of fresh, unique ice cream flavorsAll The Details:My visit to Fish and Whistle in Biddeford came with high expectations, fueled by the chef/owner's reputed pedigree, and I wasn't disappointed. The fish was cooked to perfection, featuring a light batter and fresh, thick, white, flaky texture - it doesn't get much better than that. While the style of fries wasn't my personal favorite, the coleslaw was a pleasant surprise. I usually hate coleslaw, but their version was uniquely delicious.The drink menu is small but well-curated, making it easy to find a beer that pairs beautifully with the meal. The major drawback of Fish and Whistle is its extremely small size, which proved challenging with a baby. The lack of space for a stroller and absence of high chairs made the dining experience a bit difficult.Despite these spatial constraints, the quality of the fish alone is a compelling reason to return. On my next visit, I plan to leave room for their unique and fresh rotating ice cream flavors, which I regretfully didn't try this time.
