Crroma Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The Chippy in Blairgowrie is shite. 24 quid for 2 fish suppers and a king rib supper and we had to wait around 25 minutes for it. Mr Lees up the road far nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylf Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 There’s a guy who has a van in birkie Dundee that’s meant to be good. Few of the regulars get a fish supper from him on a Saturday. Might try it one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th1stleandr0se Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I haven't read the whole thread but no doubt the sauce versus vinegar thing will have raised its head. What I'd like to know is, where is the sauce/vinegar line. I grew up in Linlithgow which is vinegar and I now live in Edinburgh which is sauce. Kirkliston? Name your town and say vinegar or sauce so we can draw the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience the , most awful, over priced fare it has been my displeasure to sample. The Palazza , Glasgow Street, Ardrossan, fresh fish, done in vegetable oil. Outstanding place.

Aufc Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Quayside in Gourdon is the correct answer. It makes The Bay in Stonehaven look distinctly average. First time i went i would have said that it was on par. However, was nt as great second time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guinness Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Allan water cafe in Bridge of Allan is good.A bit of a hit or miss nowadays..used to be better year's ago. A bit pricey for the Quality to. £10.10 for a large breaded fish supper[emoji849] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 7/10 for last night's supper, as I purchased a buttered roll which was one of those pre sliced efforts, rather than a proper roll from a bakery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 My gf and myself went to that new place down Granton Harbour. It's attached to Welch's,a well respected fish merchant so was expecting high standards. It was really good but they rip the hole clean off you for sauces etc. £1 for a tiny tartare sauce. It wasn't even that good.But we got large fish supper and monkfish bites with Vietnamese sauce. Fish and chips were a good 9/10 . The monkfish was ok. No better than the Old Chain Pier along the road if I'm being honest. But it was a beautiful night and sitting by the harbour maybe made it better than it was.

Was never in the place but my old mother used to swear by the Peacock bar that used to be just across the street from there as serving the best fish tea in Edinburgh.Don't think it is. But I'm floundering a bit.I think Harry's is now the Oyster bar place. The Peacock was the old dears place of choice. They've gutted it into some kind of modern Italian, looks brutal and dead every time I go past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 It really should not be difficult to produce a decent fish supper, yet so many places manage to fail spectacularly in what is their supposed area of expertise. Get the oil/ fat temperature right, ensure the batter mix is light and of the correct consistency. Use fresh fish (From frozen needn't be a problem providing It's been done asap after being caught and used quickly after defrosting). The fish should be fried to order and not overcooked - it should be flaky and never chewy. Once taken out of the frier it should be left drain for 1-2 minutes. It is better not to park it on top of the chips as the condensation will make the batter soggy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gruppenfuhrer Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 dunkeld fish bar the size of fish you get is pathetic and if you go for a small single fish its even worse about £6 for a single and its gone after 4 bites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 If you're ever anywhere near Settle in the Yorkshire Dales this place is well worth a visit. Either to sit in or takeaway. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186344-d2269743-Reviews-The_Fisherman-Settle_Yorkshire_Dales_National_Park_North_Yorkshire_England.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
