Youngsseafood Reviews 

Young's Chip Shop range is genuinely impressive. I've tried most of the frozen seafood brands out there, and this is by far the best. The fish is high quality—meaty, firm, and full of flavour—not the mushy, processed kind you often get, even from more expensive brands. I'm honestly puzzled by the negative reviews. Maybe some people just aren't used to the taste of real fish?

I have just eaten Youngs Golden Scampi. I couldn't even see the scampi, let alone taste it. It was nothing but thick breadcrumbs surrounding something tiny and horribly squishy. What a total con.

How does this company keep going? They don’t seem to care about their customers judging by the reviews left here. Not an answer to a review seen at all. They must think they’re so good they don’t need to monitor their products. There isn't one reply to a complaint that I can see.

Never again will I buy youngs products, opened a pack of seafood sticks they were full of water and half the size that they were this time last year, I drained the water and put them in a salad 20 minutes later the dish was full of water which was still draining, halving the content & making up the weight with water is not the way to go it's just greedy and wrong.

Never had an issue with Youngs products till yesterday with a bag of scampi cost £4 from icland it was brown slimy pulp smelled rotten, I've been in frozen food business 45 years this was not defrosted somewhere along the supply chain as it was still perfectly formed in bag looks to me like it was processed and packaged bad contacted youngs not even a reply this could kill a child or adult easily if eaten it was only my instinct to open up scampi that saved me from eating !

Bought yellowfin sole, looked really nice on the box. In reality the smell when cooking was unpleasant. The flesh when cooked had a yellow/grey tinge and again, it smelled really unpleasant. On the plus side, the thin batter was crispy, I peeled this off and fed the fish to the dog.

Bought a few boxes of cod fishfingers last year they weren't good quality so I decide to contact youngs fish company based in Grimsby I sent the images the product and a email got a reply from this person called Claire who works there she said that she will sent me out some vouchers anyway she them. Sent me a email saying send me some information of the item I did that but sadly by my big mistake I srnt her an email. Contain another company who also deals with fish called Birds Eye as I have a sight loss can't see that much when she recived the wrong email by birds eye from then she emails me and when I recived and read her email she charged her attitude against me and said that there will not be srnt any vouchers I begged her so much td her the reason after that she was never ever to. Go. Out she did not send me no vouchers she was never to go back. To her good rules Infact she became nasty and made me very very sad upset ill she became very very nasty I hated her I will. Never forget they way she treated me I will she made me very very depressed i will never ever contact her ever again she became so nasty this matter still haunts me this happened in November 2023 i Never ever want to contact 'her ever again

Everything I have read about the awful quality of youngs seafood I endorse. I bought scam pi and what an awful taste. When I cut into a piece it looked slimy not white but grey amorphous lumps. My granddaughter was really unhappy we did not allow her to eat a favourite meal. I thought it was a bad batch until as I say it really is that bad Never Again goodbye Youngs.

OMG! Fisherman Pie 🤣.You need a very long rod to go fishing for the fish in this.I had 3 tiny pieces of fish in the whole thing.Young,s really? It was basically mashed potato with a bit of cheese.Never again!

Just got one of the unedible products and i will never buy again. This products should be banned from human consumption!!!

Answer: Very little indeed. There is scarcely 15% of cheap Alaskan Pollock in a sea of reconstituted mashed potato with a few wisps of cheese. The nutritional value of this unappetizing slurry is minimal.
Advice: Go out and buy some portions of frozen cod or haddock fillets of good quality, uncoated, and cook them with brushed-on butter in an air fryer for just a few minutes. Now that is scrumptious fast food and nutritious as well.

Just had the gastro fish to much covering very thin layer of fish and taste average! I wouldn't buy again

Youngsters cod in butter sauce, disgusting, skinny tail and of fish so thin and brown, sauce is like yellow water.
How are you allowed to sell substandard food.
Never again.

Says there was cod.. Really if i wanted a plateful of potatoes i could have spent £1..no fish and tasteless.. Gastro.. Really?

Bought some kippers in butter, in my opinion nothing like the illustration on the box, very poor, infact I felt inedible.
I gave feedback to them, but not even the courtesy of a response.

Just had youngs fish fingers was like chewing on a piece of rubber. Will not be buying this product again they were so bad I wouldn’t even feed them to my dog. Just awful!!!!!!

I can’t believe that I’ve just spent my time reading reviews about something as banal as Youngs Scampi!
However having just eaten some I couldn’t believe how awful it was. It was nothing like what scampi should look or taste like.
The scampi looked of decent size at first glance, but when cooked the actual scampi turned out to be incredibly tiny tiny tiny misshapen lumps of grey gelatinous stuff, covered in an extremely thick and totally tasteless breaded coating. This thick, hard coating is clearly intended to create the false impression of a juicy large piece of scampi inside - Big disappointment awaits!
Can honestly say the product was just awful! In fact I’ve now just thrown out the other half of the bag for the crows or seagulls to eat, (though even they might not touch it!).
Having now read all the negative reviews like many reviewers, I also will never buy any of Youngs products again as the quality has clearly declined to the extent that the company are happy to offer customers such rubbish.

How on earth this company gets away with selling low quality fish at exorbitant prices is beyond me.is there no check on the so called cod this company is selling ?bad and foul smelling !! They should be prosecuted and locked up , we are a country surrounded by the best fishing fields in the world,and get fed the dregs !!!

Food poisoning. The Gastro lemon and pepper fish fillets gave me food poisoning. They were cooked as stated on the box but woke up the next morning with diarrhoea and vomiting.

What happened to this firm. There food is quite simply rubbish.

Just had youngs fishcakes for tea, absolutely horrid worst I've tasted, can't describe the horrid taste
