About Us

The Oyster Shell is an award-winning fish and chip shop takeaway in the heart of Moorland Road in Bath. A traditional chippy with a focus on the best of British fish and chips cooked to order, The Oyster Shell is the latest venture from the owners of The Scallop Shell in Monmouth Place.

Driven by a lifelong love for seafood, The Oyster Shell is a family business through and through, run day-to-day by Dan Rosser along with parents Lisa and Garry. The trio brings 30 years’ industry experience to their fish and chip shop, which serves up restaurant-quality food to takeaway.

Founded in 2019, The Oyster Shell is open for lunch, Tuesday to Saturday, from 12noon – 2.30pm, and in the evenings from 4.30 – 8.30pm, Tuesday to Thursday, and 4.30 – 9pm every Friday and Saturday. You can order Click + Collect to pick up from the shop.

We were delighted to win ‘Best New Business’ at the Bath Life Awards in 2020, and to be named as one of the UK’s 50 Best Fish & Chip Takeaways 2021/2022, in Fry Magazine’s prestigious list.

“The Oyster Shell is an extension of The Scallop Shell, so it’s about putting restaurant-quality food into a takeaway for people to take home.”

Our Menu

The Oyster Shell flies the flag for a sustainable and responsibly sourced catch and we’re passionate about provenance and providing the best possible quality. Our MSC-approved cod is caught in the North Atlantic Ocean and prepared and frozen at sea within 24 hours, ensuring fantastic freshness and consistency.

You’ll also find the finest Scottish langoustine tails in our scampi, beautiful day boat hake, locally sourced Cumberland sausages and chicken breasts from S & L Banable Butchers on Moorland Road. Our chips are cut daily from the best seasonal spuds sourced by Mitchell Potatoes and everything else – from the Moroccan chickpea fritters to our cod and parsley fishcakes and sauces – are homemade in house.

We are proud to fry in a custom-built environmentally friendly range using TQ Omega Plus oil, which is high in monounsaturated fats, Omega 9 and also GM and allergen free. We can grill fish to order if you’re gluten free or fancy a lighter option, and while our chips are cooked in a separate pan and oil to the fish, they may contain traces of gluten. You can make any special requests in the notes section of our Oyster Shell App on checkout. Please advise the team of any allergies or dietary requirements before you order.

If you’re looking for a little extra value at lunch, we serve a range of ‘Lunch Specials’ for £7.50 between 12noon and 2.30pm, Tuesday – Saturday, and also offer smaller portions of many of our main menu classics. All of our food is served in fully recyclable packaging.
