C Lyons Fresh Fish in Angus

Forget fish and chips. If this place is open go in a buy a smokie to eat on the harbour. Get it split and microwaved. I paid £7.50 for mine which is more than a couple of years ago but it is well worth it. See picture. Very friendly and helpful staff. I was the man on his way down from Aberdeen!

Easy to find .. just a few steps from the Harbour, behind the Harbour Office .. an immaculate display of fresh fish and an equally amazing display of their home made pies and other products made on the premises .. we were welcomed by two ladies, the current members of the generation of the founders, who were so proud to share their recommendations and to answer all our questions. We very much enjoyed their Tandoori flavoured Salmon ..and their homemade Salmon, Cream Cheese & Spinach Pasties .. which also we took away for our lunch! For breakfast tomorrow their speciality of Arbroath Smokies to look forward to ! A truly memorable experience .. and definitely a “must visit” if you are anywhere near to in the area!

We first visited C Lyons around 11:30am and had a delicious smokie pie. We returned an hour later for an actual smokie and two smoked mussels which we ate around the corner by the harbour. The lady serving was kind enough to prep the smokie so we could eat it straight away.

Lovely little shop that sells smokies and lots of other fish-related products, like smokie pies and smoked salmon. They also sell samphire, which when lightly steamed is a wonderful side dish to fish.

I spent £45+ on e.g. smokie pies, smokies, smoked trout and 4 different kinds of smoked salmon and trout. Coming from just outside Peterhead and eating fish all my life, I love fish of all kinds and love a trip to Arbroath about 2-3 times a year to top up with just that little bit different! It has always been a great experience at this shop, however, we were there yesterday 16/10/21 and there was an older, grey haired women serving who was so uninterested, it was unbelievable considering I ended up spending £45+ She had no personality, looked completely bored, was unhelpful and should not have been front facing, and 'roared' for some help from a poor chap out the back as she looked so stressed that I was buying so much! when another person appeared. This was all witnessed by my partner and his mother. She has to go! Appalling customer service! She was huffing and puffing when I was choosing the different smoked salmon bits, which is always the main reason for visiting every few months as they are so amazing. When my partner and I were waiting on his mother outside, the other customer came out and said 'You had a terrible experience in there'! Such a shame as the fish is always so good! Regards Karen

I wish I lived nearby to this fish shop. We had a great welcome.The produce is outstanding. So much fresh fish to choose from.

Nice fish shop, some very neat ideas. Even doing hit take away drinks now. You must try the Smokie Pies they are just wonderful. Some new smoked salmon types as well.
