I think they are trading on their reputation as I could only have cut the haddock thinner by using a razor. Very disappointing Tried this place early June 2011, because of all the hype.

Chippy. Ever. Not really, but very overrated. Ive had plenty of better suppers, even some of the big city chippys which are usually rubbish are better than this place. Worst. Chippy. Ever.

Sorry, cannot recommend any F&C's in any of the main cities in Scotland. Benny T's near Falkirk is very good without being exceptional, and Dunfermline (f&c just round from under the bridge) hosts a fairly decent fish bar. Further north; Wick, Thurso etc they tend to leave the skin on their battered fish - and for that reason ONLY I won't recommend it - but you can make your own mind up. On the western side of the highlands it's probably best just to drive straight thru places like Ullapool - even if your starving (look for roadkill; preferable). At the south of Scotland in the Borders from east to west just think 'lard' lard, lard. Hope this info is helpful, but it's only my opinion, gained over the last fifty-odd years, and remember - many chippies have changed/are changing so they could be better/worse now. Enjoy!

Total waste of money. I reckon the people who award the "chippy of the year" prizes must be the kind of people who never eat a chippy themselves, because this was rubbish.

Yeah it was superbly delicious. Some sort of a nirvana to the tastebuds. left st andrew’s on our way back to edinburgh at 5 pm. had no idea about this celebrated place but our scottish mate promised us that we will be having fish and chips for dinner. we arrived at ds practically desserted town, just the hum of d bells from d harbour and d occassional humming of a passing car breaking the eery silence. d restaurant was quiet,none of the queues mentioned above. it rather looked ordinary but with a signage announcing d best fish n chips shop hereabouts it must be something. ordered our food + irn bru. ate outside and it was very chilly. ds is mid winter so what can u expect. but for an overseas student scrimping on a budget ds was the best option (the added cost of eating inside was just 2 much). nways, one bite of the fish revealed its freshness. the chips were well seasoned 2. loved the sourness of the vinegar delicately flavoring d (i suspect pre marinated fish and chips) calorific fish and chips.
