Question What has happened to Scampi's fish and chips shop in Los Cristianos, Tenerife?

Have been to scampis in vista sur, on many occasions before, but went the other day and I have to say it was appalling. The fish appeared to be frozen and only half the size. Also was grey in colour. The fish used to be so big it hung off the plate, and had skin on it......proper haddock. Was very disappointed, and certainly wont be going back! Has anyone else noticed a change in the quality?

Are you sure it was fish,there has been an awful lot of seagulls about.We went to Scampi's sat down got a drink,ordered fish and chips,waitress comes over and they had run out of fishso we upped and left,and leaving the drinks on the table.I found the waitress surly,so we did'nt go back.

Last time we went the fish was full of bones and not very nice and the chips could only be described as burnt offerings, tiny little black and brown scraps.

Wonder what has happened, because we used to go out of our way to go here. It was simply THE best fish and chips.
