Central Fish Bar in Perth & Kinross

This is the best fish and chip shop in Crieff, maybe even Scotland! The fish was crispy, the chips were some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff were lovely, they’re quick service, their kind gestures and lovely atmosphere. Overall an amazing experience, 10/10.

Avoid this place. Food we received was disgusting. Cremated fish and sausage and chips were terrible as well. Sent us replacements which were just as bad, fish and sausage still overcooked and undercooked chips. Binned the lot of it

Shocking! So expensive for what you get (even if it was good... and it wasnt). Avoid it. Marini's in Perth is much cheaper, friendlier and better.

dead nice white pudding would recommend as a good take out place for tea if you’ve just come on holiday 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Sorry to say this but this place has gone down hill. Chips were terrible. 17 quid for substandard food. Comrie and Auchterader now.

We have been using this fish and chip shop for many years while visiting family in Crieff and have always thought highly of it. This time we were very disappointed. The chips were so hard you could not get your fork into them or cut them and the mushy peas were liquified. Not sure if there has been a change of ownership, but the quality was greatly lower this time,

Had a lovely chip shop supper for 5 people on our short break to Crieff. Very friendly staff, well organised and everyone enjoyed the food. Would definitely reccomend

This chip shop used to be fantastic! It’s gone down the Swanny! Greasy fish, horrible chips! What a shame, we used to use it regularly ! Must have changed hands………….

Never in my life have I had a chippy this disgusting! Totally rotten chips, half of them were binned before I took this photo! how you can even serve them is beyond me. Inedible waste of £12! Binned! Save your cash, go anywhere else but here

Phoned in for an order. Would be 20 minutes, so got there after 20 minutes. Then still had to wait another 25 minutes when I saw that finally took my burger out of the freezer. I said: just leave the burger, just give me the fish and chips and another portion of chips. The lady in charge gave me a frown and when I said something about that she didn't want to serve me anymore and through me out. It was absolutely chaos in there, no-one knew which order they were doing, the lady at the till tried to charge somebody twice. They had no clue what order was for which customer. Really, never will go there again.

I don't know if this has changed hands? The food is not like it used to be. Small fish, not crispy. Son said his sausage supper didn't taste like it used to. Won't be back. Waste of money.

Always go here for our fish n chips. Not anymore, heading to Comrie a 15min drive each way. The reason very thin fish which is not what I expect, and has happened for the last two visits. I was going to call in tonight to express my disappointment. However, I thought there should be no need if customer service was important.

Had tea from there one night on our holiday and portion sizes were rather small. Staff were pretty rude too when ordering. It's also a shame as we were looking forward to this for some deep fried Mars bars as we were staying in the very quiet St Fillans, we waited 20 minutes for it to open at 4pm and it didn't open on time, waited around 10 minutes longer and still nothing, no movement inside either.

It was the worst fish supper we’ve ever had. Fish was greyish, thin and in a sodden batter. It broke up and was hard to find amongst the chips, which were soggy and greasy. Such a disappointment after getting a recommendation from a local.

The food was very good and all enjoyed it very much. Service was very fast and quick since you would want that in a restaurant

Fab food freshly cooked to order and great banter while we waited. Good variety in the menu with all the things you would expect from a Scottish chippy. It seems Crieff are on the Glasgow side of the "salt and vinegar/salt and sauce" debate!

Remember this place (then Grillis' from being in Crieff as a child many years ago. Still really good. You can phone in an order in advance which I don't recommend. Go in and wait a few minutes while they fry your fish fresh. Chips , cut from potatoes crisp on the outside, mushy on the inside. Who could ask for more? Maybe a bit more expensive than chippers in other Scottish towns but good value.

The chaps inside were very nice and made me / my family very welcome. Fish was decent size and chips also tasty. Sausage supper was huge and more than enough for one person.

Just took a drive to Crieff to try fish and chips, wish we hadn’t bothered as was very poor quality and very small for the price they charge, definitely won’t be back again.

Food fantastic as always. Freshly cooked. Highly recommended. Friendly and professional staff. Best chippy in the area.

Absolutely beautiful place and the central fish and chips is no exception stunning fish and chips and well worth a visit if your in Crieff.

We came a group of 12 from London to visit Scotland in this half term. On the first day we discovered this small fish bar on Crieff. The two brothers there are so nice, friendly, professionals. They have the Best, tastiest fish & chips freshly...

Good fresh food at a reasonable price. Nice people. Good service. Recommend it. Glad Crieff has a good traditional fast food outlet.

In the past we have always been satisfied with the fish from here but the last few times we have been disappointed. The fillets of haddock are thinner and tend to be chewy which probably means they have been over cooked. The staff are really...

Small, traditional chippy with a nice welcome from staff. Food made to order so waiting for 5-10 mins as expected. During the wait the staff kindly gave my daughter a lollipop. Chips were great in a way only chip shop chips can be. The fish...

No king ribs thoroughly disappointed . I was then offered something else which was not a mock chop . The Royal China up the street which is a Chinese takeaway even sell them for goodness sake . Surely unless they are Muslim or Jewish and...

Had 4 fish suppers and curry sauce .lovely fresh fried fish while you wait ,fish &chips very tasty But also served in cardboard cartons which can be recycled Not the polystyrene ones that go to land fill.5 stars will go again.

Visited the chip shop whilst on holiday. All three of my children had chicken nuggets with chips. The following day all three of my children were sick and vomiting after eating the chicken nuggets. My Husband ordered the chips however he did not eat them...

The macaroni from here is so good, they’d briefly changed it recently which was disappointing but quickly changed back to their old one. Delicious! Food is always great from here. Definitely recommend!

A fairly standard fish and chip shop, good quality fish, mountains of chips - beware, unless you’re really hungry. Spotlessly clean, customers encouraged to distance

Excellent chip shop. Tucked away down a side street, the best chippy we've had for a while. Travel over 14miles to visit here. Cant fault it, quality is consistent. Definately worth a try.

Always excellent food, and friendly staff but they’ve just changed the macaroni which is so disappointing.

Was out on my motorbike with 2 friends and we stopped at Crieff. Looking for somewhere to get food and looked down the hill to see this place hidden off the town centre. 3 of us got sausage, spare rib and fish suppers. Best chippy...

Went to the chip shop the food was freshly made for us the fish super was great and pizza super in batter was great this is the first time I have had a pizza in batter and it was amazing I would highly recommend this...

Me and the wife picked up two fish supers that where amazing the fish was cooked fresh for us and the size of chips that came with the fish was the biggest I have had with a fish super. The staff where really great and...

good fish and chip shop, food always good and new ice cream is delicous, lots of flavours to choose from. staff good too .

Really good fish and chip shops are hard to find these days, but this one is the real deal. The food is cooked to order, the breaded haddock is fantastic and the chips taste the way that chip shop chips used to, but these days seldom do. Would highly recommend.

Hi was at this great chip shop last night got one of there breaded fish super for me and the he wife plus one of the new milkshakes they do they where great well worth it will recommend this place well worth the trip up from Fife John

We had a breaded fish supper from here on 21st October and can honestly say it was disgusting. Chips were shrivelled and tasted like reheats and not warm at all. Fish was all dried out and at a cost of £7.00 odds not what you would expect. For being the only chip shop in Crieff you would like to think they would have high standards. Won’t be returning ... probably get from local Chinese next time

We travel from Lochgilphead to Aberdeen and discovered Central during lockdown when travel was allowed again.It is, quite simply, the best fish and chips we have had for ages.Fresh, hot, crispy and delicious. Cheerful service and great ice cream to boot.Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Great food freshly cooked highly recommend Only complaint if ordering on click and collect never ready at time and still have to wait in queue for collecting even at allocated time ok in good weather not in wet or cold as narrow pavements outside

Great service with traditional Fish & Chips then amazing ice cream to finish off. Definitely worth a visits

Great fish and chips!! Very light batter, freshly cooked, & great chips! What’s not to like! It’s an understated little place from the outside, but the food was great!

Just had a great family meal takeaway from Central Fish Bar in Crieff. Fish supper, scampi, fish cakes and kids chicken dippers all excellent. Everyone enjoyed. Ordered a Just Eat while staying up at Culcrieff. Delivered on time. Would definitely recommend.

Our second dining option in Crieff. We visited later on a Tuesday night around 8pm hoping for fish and chips. Unfortunately were told they had completely sold out of fish. Opted for alternative meals but told to come back later in week at an earlier time to sample the fish....which we were very glad we did! 3 fish suppers, absolutely delicious. Crispy, tasty batter, fresh fish and perfectly cooked chips!! Kids had curry sauce with their chips which was absolutely delicious too. Always seemed to be a queue outside which we took to be a good sign. Friendly staff and great prices. Would highly recommend!

The only chip shop I would recommending in Perthshire fantastic fresh food, brilliant service lovely people and very well runned. I use to order all the time when I stayed in crieff then moved away And always missed getting my Saturday night order, I’m now out side of auchterarder and they didn’t initially deliver to here, but we’re always willing to meet my needs as I don’t drive at the moment so I’ll be forever greatfull for there splendid customer service they have shown to me and the fantastic grub they providewishIng you’s all the best of luck and success Trav

We were staying at a local bed and breakfast and decided to try the chip shop. It was very busy which is always a good sign. Our orders were freshly made. My sister had a small portion of fish and chips while I had scotch pie and chips. The staff were very friendly. Brown sauce vinegar and salt on offer but you could buy tartar sauce or tomato ketchup in sachets. We took our eats back to the B&B to eat. We were not disappointed the food was hot very tasty and lots of it. All came in cardboard recyclable trays. I would definitely use again and recommend.

We went out and visited the fish shop. Only thing I can say is the place was super clean ( no typical fish smell) the staff was organised and professional and the food, that’s probably the best thing. I received my meal fully cooked and fresh. Taste was amazing, it wasn’t overcooked or undercooked at all. If your looking for a fish and chip shop in Perth and Kinross area, I would definitely recommend going to Crief. It’s worth the drive even if your coming from Edinburgh.

Came here tonight after reading the reviews. We were not disappointed! Friendly service, good prices, and the food was amazing! Will definitely be returning and recommend highly. Thanks! (:

Me and my family came on holiday to Scotland. Never did we think we would taste such a stupendous dish in our life. Not just the fish but the rest of the dishes were succulent and scrumptious. In London where we came from we had fish and chips but never this amazing. The staff was caring and thoughtful. Their food matched our appetite and we would definitely recommend it to all. We had never known about this palace until somebody recommended it. We will definitely return again and without doubt will never forget this amazing fish.

F&C sehr lecker. Die Chips könnten etwas knuspriger sein, sonst aber wirklich gut. Sehr freundlicher Service. Wir waren gleich 3 mal da und haben F&C mitgenommen. Immer zufrieden gewesen.

Wow x 100 is all we can stay. Absolutely delicious Fish and Chips! So fresh and big portions. The staff were very friendly too. I had the Haddock and Chips and my spouse the Fish Cakes with Chips. Mouth still watering from thinking about their food.SIMPLY A MUST when you are in the area!

Second visit to the Central Fish Bar, as always food was excellent, really large fish which was well cooked and very tasty....if your visiting Crieff I would recommend you pay this place a visit. Thanks again.

The staff were great handling our large order for fish and chips and the food was excellent. Perfectly cooked batter and fresh fish.

I've had their fish and chips twice now while on vacation in the Bonnie Bonnie Hills of Crieff Hydro... Both experiences were great! Food was delicious and service was very good too (especially for two large orders). Definitely recommend for anyone in the area!

Fish and chips were first class. Staff friendly. Parking right outside shop. A really good fish and chip shop.

i another first class fish supper tonight after a lovely day out if you are ever in crief you must try this chip shop it is FANTASTIC

Absolutely outstanding service cooked to order, always drop in for a single fish on the way back from fishing at Loch earn. We'll worth saving your hunger for

Was part of a wedding party at the Hydro. On the opening evening of the wedding weekend they supplied all the guests with fish and chips, cooked to perfection..Thanks Guys !

My cousin was getting married and wanted a fish and chip welcome dinner for all the Scottish English and American guests descending on Crieff in August. The shop did a fantastic job catering for such a large group with the fish cooked to perfection. Thanks for making our special takeaway a great experience!

The team at the Central Fish Bar went above and beyond to provide 82 guests with delicious freshly cooked haddock and 60 portions of chips - as we put together a welcome event for people from all over the world for a weekend wedding.

Delicious! Ordered some fish and chips for takeaway and it was great. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area!

We were a bit sad that there was no cod available, but the haddock was nice too, really soft and well battered and the number of chips was good too. The curry sauce is really spicy but it was a nice meal. Make sure you take cash with you as they DON'T take card payments (there is an ATM up the street and around the corner - Bank of Scotland).

Places like chippies don’t normally get many reviews... this place deserves it! We went when visiting Crieff for the first time and it was so worth it. Very clean, staff so friendly and the food definitely made fresh in front of us. We had a chicken nugget supper and a sausage supper with fritters too and it was one of the best quality chippies we have ever tried. Hopefully be back one day!

We had set our sights on a chippy dinner, during a car journey through Creiff. Always a bit of a lottery going somewhere you don't know, but this time we were very pleased with what we got. Freshly cooked food, great selection and reasonable prices. Well worth a visit folks. We will definitely be back for more

Fish seems quite fresh and chips really good would definitely go back good delivery service and staff I would give a ten out of ten

Enjoyed a ‘small fish supper’ in the cafe room at the back. Great advert that the family of the owner were also eating there. Extremely friendly. Wonderfully clean and very tasty food. Well worth a visit. Crieff is one of the friendliest places we have ever been. We shall be back!

This is a busy fish and chip shop with a sit in cafe room at the back of the shop. Comfortable and clean with table service. Not expensive at all.

Husband - fish and chips; son - sausage and chips; daughter - chicken dippers and chips; me - smoked sausage and chips. All freshly cooked and delicious. Pleasant service too.

This was the best fish and chips we have had for a long time and the mushy peas were the best we have ever had. Staff were friendly and helpful, good portions, everything looked clean. Excellent - well done!

The breaded haddock was delicious but we threw away the chips - so soggy. The white pudding was stodgy - very unappealing. Such a shame. Friendly staff.

Staying locally we wanted a simple meal. Delivino Pronto chip shop had closed down so found the central fish bar. Excellent Fish and Chips. Even after travelling 19 mins back to our Lodge, everything was still crisp and tasty

Had several takeaways from here. The chips are great and usually the fish and white puddings are decent enough. I usually order online and walk up to collect as everything is cooked fresh to order and it saves waiting around. Recently put an order in online and as I was going to collect it my husband recieved a call at home to say they cannot process the order as they were closed. Decided to try somewhere else and as I was passing Central Fish Bar I could see that it was open! I went in and said to the person serving about My order and being told they were shut. He just shrugged and asked me to repeat the order! I had my 3 year old with me, so waiting for the order was very inconvenient. As usual chips were tasty and everything else was ok. Not really good value for money.

We decided to eat in. Was certainly minimalist - wrapped in paper no plates but really the tables are just supplied for inclement weather. Any lack of cutlery was more than made up for by the friendly staff and the very tasty food. Recommended......

This is one of the best !! Had 2 deliveries so far and I must say the standard has been exceptional!! Fish is succulent and the batter is crisp and tasty without being greasy !! I would eat there everyday if it wasn't for my waistline lol

On our way home for the West and in need of supper on our way home. Unable to get a GF fish supper in Comrie, but we’re delighted to get lovely lovely gluten free fish suppers in Crieff! Wonderful service, very friendly and knowledgable about GF food.

First night holiday tea ordered online via Just Eat, for 7pm pick up, but then advised by email that it wouldnt be ready until 7.10...however it ended up being about 15-20mins later than that. Apart from the delay the food itself was lovely...and delighted to get two sausages in a sausage supper !

Went in on a cold February night with my 3 year old who was insisting on chicken nuggets . Sat through the back in the restaurant staff very polite and helpful even put the heating on for us . Food was fresh and tasted amazing well worth a visit !

we went in at 9.15 and ordered a sausage supper .it was lovely and freshly made the owner was very pleasant and the shop was cllean

My first time using this chippy. Had the sausage supper and was very disappointed in it. First off the battery was burnt and dripping with grease. Chips were only just edible if u picked through them. Tried it but cldnt eat it so went in the bin. Won't be using again.

Bought fish suppers and ended up binning them. Dripping in fat. Poor quality and can't imagine anyone returning after going once

Definitely some of the best fish and chips in the area. Cooked fresh and it shows! Delivery service is very helpful when I want it.

I have been eating here for a while and have seen a massive change since owners changed over. Prices are reasonably priced and the food is very good.a fish supper for £6.50 and cooked in front while you wait also quick waiting time as well. To the gentleman who wrote the review on the 6/08/17 you may have been to Frankness on the High Street.

looking forward to a fist and chip supper, walked down to the town from the hotel and ordered a large haddock and chips, we had to wait for the fish to be cooked fresh, great nothing better. waited 10 minutes and it was wrapped up. cost was £8.50. found a bench in the park and got stuck in.. immediately both the wife and myself were struck by the poor flavour of the fish and that the chip had so obviously been reheated ! we put them straight in the bin, both a waste and a disappointment.

Metimos en para una rápida cena, y estaba encantado de ver el pescado cocinado. No me había dado cuenta de que había una zona de descanso a través de la trasera y felizmente pagamos la pequeña cantidad extra para sentarse fuera de la lluvia y disfrutar de la encantadora pescado adecuadamente fresca, en un mejor luz y fresca. Gracias a todos

Después de leer los comentarios pensamos probarlo, después de todo no se puede tener unas vacaciones en Escocia sin tener una cena de pescado.

Pescado y patatas fritas, realmente agradable tanto muy crujiente, lo cual es raro! Buen servicio, mi única queja fue la falta de salsa curry, pero la salsa era una buena alternativa.

sausage supper, white pudding supper and gluten free fish supper all very tasty but hardly any chips, but the bonus was it was all HOT so not all bad

however nobody including the staff had any idea who had ordered and what they had ordered so a great game if you like quizzes,the fish was dry and most probably frozen batter was ok and the chips could have done with a bit longer in the fryer just a bit too white for me

We had read mixed reviews and wanted to find out for ourselves. We had perfect fish and chips, great value-£6 for a haddock supper, friendly service definitely recommendable!

Always get our sausage supper or just chips here when in Crieff, (have tried other's in Crieff) The staff are always friendly and cheerful. All meals are cooked freshly in front of you and you might have to wait 10mins but the chips are always worth the wait!

I had set off to try a new fish and chip shop in Crieff but was told that they were too busy to take any more orders! so I wandered down to King Street to try out Central Fish Bar and I'm glad I did. The order was freshly cooked for every customer, which is a real treat as many small fish and chip shops cook in batches and leave the food sitting in the hot cabinet. But the best bit was the fish wasn't overcooked. How many times have I had fish and chips in Scotland and the fish has been overcooked, leaving the fish dry and tasteless. Well done Central Fish Bar for keeping the fish moist and getting the batter beautifully crisp. The chips were really good too. I won't bother going to any other chip shops in the area now that I've found Central Fish Bar.

Found this wee chip shop in a side street in Crieff, Great service and the food was Delicious. Staff were very friendly and very reasonably priced. Will go again soon.

I've had Fish and Chips more times than I've breathed air, and having tried this favourite Scottish cuisine all over the world, Crieff's Central Fish Bar has it perfected....fresh crispy succulent fish, freshly cooked chippy chips, the best salt-vinegar-and brown to go with it, and a nice cool GLASS bottle of Irn Bru (rare)!!!! BLISS!!!!

I came for a fish supper and it was the best thing I have ever had in all my chippy experience! I totally recommend this chippy!!

Regular customers we enjoy this place regularly, then there is that one day when you are excited looking forward to your fish n chips, take it home and it is wrong. Was it too early in the day, was the fryers not up to temperature. So from now on it is later in the day for us.

We had been out touring the countryside and when we returned to Crieff it was later in the evening and most of the restaurants were closed. The Central Fish Bar was open so we popped in and decided to order a pizza and take it back to our holiday cottage. While it was being prepared, we began talking to a local woman who had come in for Fish and Chips. We had a great time hearing about the local area and getting a first-hand opinion on great eating places and places to visit. The guys running the shop were great and filled us in on some shortcuts around town. The pizza was good and the fish looked great.

There are so very many fast food restaurants and carry outs in Crieff, most are mediocre, quantity over quality, but here you get classic chip shop, that place you go when you've been out walking or the fridge is toxic. Get yourself here (between 4 and 9) and you will be rewarded by great fresh fried food, I strongly recommend the fish, and a healthy pile of chips. Ignore the rest and choose the best.

Excellent place. Food cooked to order so you know it's fresh. Husband had sausage and chips, said it was good, and that's big coming from him. I had haggis and chips, it's a haggis bung not the long thin haggis you get in other chip shops. Small disappointment only offer salt and vinegar no sauce, had to buy a small bottle at 1.70. A bit pricey when asda has the bigger bottles for a pound. And it said 95p on the shelf in the chip shop itself. All and all excellent.

second time here both times have waited a LONG TIME for fish and chips when i eventually got it the chips did taste great but the fish was a different story- lovely big piece of fish but totally tasteless with very undercooked batter
