TJ's Fish Bar at Odsal Roundabout runs out of fish after opening

TJ's Fish Bar, which is based in premises on Cleckheaton Road at Odsal Roundabout, officially opened its doors to the public on Friday, January 22.

The owners posted on the business's Facebook page on the big day to declare it had been a "manic 24 hours", but they were ready to serve up "some delicious fish and chips".

The traditional choices are not the only food stuff on offer to the public though.

TJ's Fish Bar has brought a well-known fish and chip shop delicacy in Scotland across the border.

That's right - the Bradford chippie serves deep-fried Mars Bars.

The business had strict rules in place, given the country is still in the midst of a lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This included no more than three people in the shop at once and face masks to be worn at all times.

For those who prefer delivery, TJ's Fish Bar also went live on Just Eat, on the day of its grand opening.

It seems Bradford's newest chippie has proved extremely popular with the masses.

The owners posted on fish and chip shop's Facebook page on Sunday afternoon to outline they had to turn off Just Eat due to the sheer amount of orders.

The post said: "Folks we have had to turn Just Eat off and we have been absolutely swamped with orders.

"Please bear with us, we are trying our best."

Then after closing that evening, TJ's Fish Bar revealed it had run out of fish and apologised to those who were unable to order.

The post on Facebook said: "Wow. You know it's busy when you run out of bloody fish.

"So sorry to anyone who didn't manage to order.

"We have only just opened and are still finding our feet with staffing, stock levels, etc.

"There are bound to be teething errors and we know this.

"So please bear with us while we fine tune the way we work.

"And thank you so much to everyone who did Your patience really did help us. We will be back Tuesday to do it all again."

TJ's Fish Bar is open from Tuesday to Sunday every week, from 11.30am until 7pm.
