Canalside Fish & Chip Shop in Highland

Fresh, tasty and good prices. Visit on 10/15/24

The style of dealing with tourists is completely inappropriate, to the point that he asked me to leave the restaurant only because I received a call while I was waiting, and he did not accept my request even though I had been waiting for half an hour.

Although the food is good and compliant, the service leaves something to be desired.

Fish are battered as you order. Fresh

Seems like this place has changed the name a few times. Ramo's is off the sign. Doesn't matter. We had delicious fish and chips,condiments,and sat along the canal and enjoyed our meal. Perfect, and 8 British pounds cheaper than others there.

Just called in for tea and told not cooking anymore chips till after 5.15. Worst chippy round here now but used to be a really nice one.

Excellent food! Got the fish and chips which was ordered, cooked, and packaged within 5 minutes in front of me. Not too greasy, truly good batter that was crispy and fresh. Tasted great :) . Just the one man working, serving and cooking. He was quiet but pleasant. If the weather was better I would sit outside and enjoy the canal. Would go back here for sure!

Located at the end of the boardwalk from the loch where the cruise docks, this hidden gem exceeded my expectations. Despite there being just one gentleman handling the orders, cooking, and cashiering, the service was surprisingly fast and efficient. The fish and chips were perfect—not too oily and cooked to perfection, with a nice crispiness instead of soggy batter. Sitting outside was such a calming experience, with the gentle breeze adding to the overall charm. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing meal! They accept cash and credit card.

Solid deep fried chicken bites and chips. Only one person working, but was hustling and line moved fast enough.

I went with my two young sons for a pizza and fish and chips last night. The man was very abrupt from the start. All the food was cooked to order, he even had to microwave the tub of curry sauce, the service was so slow, we were waiting nearly 20 minutes in the rain. I went to pay, he took a good minute messing about with the screen on the till then told me it was £24. All I said was "£24?" As I'd worked it out to be less. He then grabbed the food off the counter and told me to go elsewhere. I then offered him the money twice and said I must have worked it out wrong and he carried on shouting at me. I then said again, here's the money, I've got two children to feed and he carried on shouting at me to get out. |have never come across such aggressive hostility before and was very upset and shocked at what had just happened. I then felt sorry for my sons who'd been stood waiting and were now soaked through without any food. had worked it out correctly and he was overcharging us by nearly £4. The little, bully of a man is obviously in the wrong job. We went to the Chinese round the corner in the end and had a lovely meal!

Taste is too bad, not recommendable.

Owner cooked our order 5 minutes before closing time, we coult take fish and chips to a nearby pub. Food was all right for that size and price.

Best Fish and chips I got in Scotland - Fish freshly made and good chips - nice sitting on benches outside at the Canal.

If you want to get sick, buy something to eat here.

Haggis was way too salty. I couldn't eat it. Did not taste good. It's fried haggis. Big portions, however I Dont recommend it unless you're on a budget.

The men was not professional, he look like don’t want to serve the food , he was not welcoming, when he took our order he start to shout to people outside the shop and talking to next customer aggressively, please avoid as food was not nice too.

The worst ever and the guy selling was so rude with me and the lady behind me noticed that .. he asked me about salt and vinegar and I didn’t understand for what is that so I said sorry what? He was like when someone is asking you, you should say come again or I couldn’t hear you (sorry but who are you to teach me what to say?!!) and all of these happened after I paid the bill :) I had a horrible time at this place and I think such people shouldn’t be exist these days :)

The man who took our order was acting like a crazy guy, was very rude from the start and after prepared food refused to serve us as one portion of fish and chips supposed to be without vinegar - only salt, would not recommend that place as it was our first visit to Scotland and left us rather disappointed! Good part - we didn’t accept food and left the place, sorry Scotland that you have costumer service like that.

Recommended. Not amazing, but still pretty decent food, really helpful and friendly service. We ate on the benches just outside.

Great fish and chips! Even had a gluten free option of the smoked sausage and chips for my partner, just make sure you enquire about gluten free before ordering.

Great value for money fish and chips!

Food was okay for fast junk food like fish and chips but there was a single guy working there, causing quite a long waiting time + he forgot one of the orders. Wouldn't recommend.

Lovely fish and chips, just what we needed, thanks!

Fish and chips with curry sause is good. Recommand!

Got a chicken burger here was very poor and expensive for what it was. Wouldnt recommend this.

Small restaurant without tables and with food only to take away, especially the famous fish & chips, which is very good, although a little oily, it is the cheapest in the area, where they will charge you a lot for little, outside, there is some picnic tables, if you are lucky and it doesn't rain, you can sit comfortably

I was a little hesitant to go here given the reviews but I'm glad we did! This was the best fish and chips we had during our entire stay in Scotland! Everything was made fresh and to order, the gentleman serving us was friendly (and even apologetic about how long it took since we were behind a big family order). We enjoyed a table canal side which made for a fantastic evening as the sun set.

Visited last week. Thought as it was a Fish n Chip shop they wouldn't be serving Frozen Chips, totally not what you'd expect to get from a traditional Scottish Chip Shop. You're giving good auld Scottish chips a very bad name. Owner, stop being lazy and start using fresh potatoes.

Stopped here before Loch Ness Cruise. Best fish & chips I’ve had. He cooks on the spot so it’s super fresh. Would love to return in the future.

Смачна їжа, популярне місце і прекрасне обслуговування. Рекомендую.

Awesome food, the chips and the onion rings are amazing. The place is very clean and they cook the food at the moment.

El menjar molt bo i el local molt net amb un personal molt educat i hospitalari

We was on a day trip from Edinburgh to Loch ness and back through the cainggorns national park, we stop in the village we decided not to go a cruise on the Loch as wanted to look around and stopped at the fish and chip shop. Also we went down to the point to see the Loch and took some photos .

Glad we tried this for the first time as we were pleasantly surprised at how good it was. Owner was welcoming and helpful. The place was busy with happy customers and that’s always a good sign. Will definitely be back for a treat. 10/10!

Je krijgt waarvoor je betaalt, prima fish & chips. Geen gedoe, aardige eigenaar, neemt de tijd, voor fast food echt een topper.

Nice chippy, if a bit expensive.

Felt rather scammed as there’s a big sign outside saying “Traditional Fish and Chips” but it was factory-made fish and chips cooked from frozen. Not traditional to my understanding. If you’re a tourist reading this, try to find a proper chippy to taste the real thing.

Absolutely delish fish n chips. Cooked to order. The fish was so fresh and crispy. Nothing was a problem to the owner. All served with smile 😊

great fish and chips, didn’t take long at all. Great man serving us🐟🍟

Ración abundante fish&chips 10'5£ el hombre que atendía muy amable.

Alles schnell und frisch zubereitet, große Portion, sehr lecker! Hier lohnt es sich vorbei zu schauen!

I had to stop in here for some sausages for my dogs as we forgot to bring the dogfood and the shops were shut by the time we arrived. The guy couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Other places nearby were not as helpful so we were very grateful. Would recommend just for this experience.

Good fish and chips and the owner or staff friendly.

We had one of the best fish and chips ever it's was beautiful the gentleman had time for you and what you wanted. very clean and organise £8.50 for great chip's and fish all freshly made waited 10mins as a ex chippy owner very good food

I went to get fish and chips at this shop today. The food was of decent quality, definitely worth the money. However, the staff was downright rude. I felt like I was standing in a military line. I have never encountered such disrespectful and even agressieve staff in my life. Even despite the OK quality of food, I would not recommend this shop to visitors of Fort Auguste.

I can't comment on the rudeness of the owner as others have as we didn't experience this. The fish and chips were good but not the best I've had and pricey too. But it was a pleasant experience sitting outside with them and the order went smoothly.

£8.50 for fish and chips tasted lovely only small portion of chips but really enjoyed would go back

An ok shop. However the customer service is negative. An extremely rude elderly gentleman. Fish n chips were ok. 9£ . Suggest avoid

Completely rude service ended up saying he wouldn’t serve us because we wanted can drinks but didn’t originally ordered them. Wouldn’t recommend

Smaczna pizza, szybka realizacja zamówienia

Awful seller complaining for touching walls and that customer dared to speak; very bad experience, never again

Had a poke of chips from here after cycling up from Laggan Locks. Standard fair but cooked to order hot and LOTS of them. Could have shared a singe portion comfortably between two adults. Nothing to complain about.

Standard fish and chips for a good price

Cheap, Good location and Good quality of the food

Very good, freshly cooked, chips and fish.

Fish & chips were very good, very enjoyable, very quite and freshly made.

First class freshly cooked to order

SUPER RUDE OWNER!!!!! The food was great, had no complaints about that. The owner however was super rude to me because I had asked for one item and in a second changed my mind and wanted another item, now he hadn’t moved yet from behind the counter and he refused to change my order. I asked him why and he said “you already made your order… you can’t change it” so I wouldn’t recommend this place based on the owner but the food was great!

This place sucks in following categories. 1. Customer service 2. Food 3. Decency Please DO NOT waste your money at this location. You will be disappointed to the core. ** Attention-Only serving white folks

We unfortunately witnessed racism at this location and I would recommend all potential patrons (and those visiting from out of town) to stay far away from this shop. I can't speak towards the quality of the food as we were immediately yelled out of the store on arrival, though our fellow (white) travelers were able to enter and be seated. Do NOT bring children into this establishment as it is NOT family friendly or safe -- you risk exposing them to potential harm as it's clear the staff are outwardly vocal about their prejudices and its unclear how far they'll go. I do hope that in time the staff will reflect and grow, but in the mean time, I'll be regularly keeping an eye on this page and prepare a bottle of champagne for our next visit to the area in the event that they permanently shutter their establishment.

Shared a very tasty Haggis and Chips.

WC club ,arrived late after a gruelling bike ride , the owner was so helpful, he took our order and stayed open so we could come back and collect after his closing time . Good food , very reasonable prices and a friendly helpful owner Thank you

Avoid this place, owner is a problem maker.

The worst experience I ever had. Owner is very rude, do not reccomend this place. Avoid at all!

Bar typowy na wynos. Ryba zrobiona poprawnie. Brakowało jakiegoś sosu lub czegoś zielonego. 8.50 GBP za porcje , które była całkiem spora. Obsługa miła, Pan bardzo sympatyczny. Można płacić kartą, bezpłatny ketchup i ocet :)

Hot food but very tasteless, not too sure what the fish was, very thin batter so dried out part of the fish, shame could be amazing if done right given the location

Unhinged! The owner stormed out of the shop shouting at some Indian tourists for putting their litter in "his" bin. Started throwing their litter out of the bin all over the grass, ranting and completely lost the plot. Horrible individual, which made me sorry that we had given him any of our money. Felt really bad for the tourists. Disgraceful behaviour.

With several options in the area we decided on this place, mainly as there were public use tables outside. Chips needed more frying time, fish was overly coated in batter that had been fried for too long (but not burnt) so much so that the batter was literally falling apart and crumbling off. Weird. Batter was tasteless. The tomato ketchup made it consumable. Price was extortionate especially when the chips were obviously not from fresh potatoes in the traditional way. Not a great lunch unfortunately.

It was the best fish and ships I ever had!

Not to be missed. Forget the lockinn rip off prices and ill not mention the butches

Excellent fish and chips, cooked to order.

no fresh fries and disgusting fish in dripping oil

Fantastic food and service, great selection of items and a great view of locks to idle your fish supper away with!

Some of the best fish and chips we’ve ever had! My husband and I shared the £8.50 fish and chips and had plenty of the food between the two of us. There’s nice picnic tables opposite the shop along the canal.

Fresh and tasty fish, very delicious

Very poor chip shop,frozen chips,cheese burger was very bland.Expensive for what your getting.Avoid

They made a mistake about my order but immediately and professionally take it in the right way. I'm surprised , so rare catering staff and leader. Thank you

Very fresh food and decent portions. They were open on Monday 3th May and the guys were friendly. We ordered fish and chips (just taken from fridge and battered in front of us) & scampi

I didn't try this place but I saw this picture and thought it was an odd name for a chippy

I don’t like leaving negative reviews, but this place is woeful. Avoid.

The Monster was shut so tried this place as it was a "Traditional" fish & chip shop.....at least we wouldn't get frozen-style chips then.......!!!! Well, actually, we did.....unless I'm mistaken, they weren't " proper" chip shop chips, made on the premises from potatoes they have peeled. Shame really, as apart from that, the service was efficient, staff were great, all Covid friendly, and the fish & chips were 78% on the edible scale. Portions not huge, but all-in-all I've had worse and paid more. Will try the Monster next time I'm in FA, making sure I get there before it shuts.

Shocking. I can honestly say I've never had such bad fish and chips. Portion size tiny and certainly not worth the price. Chips were dry and batter was stodgy. I left most of it and only ate what I did be a use I was hungry. It certainly wasn't 'fast' food either even though we were their only customers! Save your dosh and get a pot noodle from Londis!

This place must have had a change of ownership since our last visit which was great. It's now up there with the worst fish and chips I've ever had. We had the stuff wrapped and made the mistake of not checking before we left. The portion size was dreadful, believe it or not the picture is haggis and chips, shameful. Chips dry and I'm not sure if they were frozen not traditional as it says. The batter was heavy and soggy, we left most of it. There were no mushy peas I went to londis and bought a tin!! Horrifically expensive for what you get. On the bright side they do offer salt and vinegar. The reason we went here was the monster fish bar by londis was poor, 2 years ago this was great sadly not now. Save your sanity and your money go elsewhere.

For the BEST freshly cooked and delicious Fish and Chips in Fort Augustus Canal-side Fish and Chips is your best bet. Great service and fair value. These guys are way faster/better in my opinion than Monster Fish & Chips who served old, cold chips held under the heat lamp in boxes while the cooked my 3 kids sausage suppers. If you want fresh super tasty - Then Canalside fish and chips is the best

Dont know about the other reviews but stopped here today and... Best fish and chips Ive had anywhere in the country. Superbly fresh fish, amazing batter. Couldnt recommend highly enough.

Closed when it said it was open on google business :-( im very hungry and was looking forward to my fish n chip supper after a 5 hour journey

It is ok. Good to visit when you have got break in journey.

From photos it looks like there has been a change in name and maybe ownership? It was quite busy as there seemed to be a bus load of tourists nearby so it did take a while to be served, however the gentleman acknowledged me. The chips were quite nice however the fish did not taste all that nice and the batter was bland and seemed oily as well. I’ve had worse fish and chips though

What an improvement since the new owner took over. The food is very good, well cooked and spotlessly clean inside the shop. You cannot please all of the people all of the time, but take it from me you will get the best fish and chips ever, along with the other choices he has. Scrumptious!!!

How are you still in business... Worst chipshop in Scotland... In fact the world... Pretty sure I've got sodium poisoning.. Food poisoning.. Any other poisoning possible. The only decent thing was the can of irn bru... Pretty sure that had salt on it too though.. Greasy inedible half cooked disaster

new owner, best Fish & Chips so far, very clean in the kitchen and normal prices

Neuer Besitzer und top Fish and Chips.

Cracking food and good portion sizes

Nuevo propietario desde hace10 días. Muy limpio y raciones abundantes. El pollo del kebab es de verdad y no esa mezcla industrial molida.

Frozen chips, over cooked batter, tiny haddock and well over priced :-(

Fish and chips foarte bun si locatie populara printre cei ce navigheaza pe canal.

Frozen chips,fish had no taste and too expensive

鱼和薯条的那个套餐很好吃! 尤其薯条，作为一个平时不爱吃薯条的人，两分钟之内吃光光，个人NO.1~鸡肉不行，爱人说肉非常干～

Terrible chips, odd taste which I couldn't put my finger on. Others with me also had pies which weren't any better. Wouldn't come back again

Literally inedible chips - uncooked, greasy and probably at least a day old the whole lot went straight in the bin, followed by 24 hours of diarrhoea - coincidence, maybe, maybe not, but would never go back to try again.
