Another visit. The best fish n chips in the Edinburgh area. AND chippie sauce. My wife had the lobster and crayfish ravioli, the kitchen can cook good Italian. But check opening times if you fancy lunch. Some days do not open till 4pm. Loch Fyne oysters were lovely.

I will say this: I didn't get bad food... but I don't understand the fascination with this place. The restaurant has received awards and is recommended in many articles... My opinion is 4⭐ Near the restaurant there is a place of the same name where you can buy takeaway food. We had fish and chips and king prawns with chips. The shrimps were very good and worth trying. The fish was just ok. My partner even said that it must have been frozen beforehand. Prices quite high, portions average. 🤷♀️

We have recently visited this restaurant on two occasions and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough, service is outstanding and so is the food. We had a very emotional situation going on in the family and this place was almost like a sanctuary for us to help deal with it all. We want to extend our gratitude to Mido whose service was beyond imaginable and we can’t thank him enough, we will be seeing you all soon again. Big thanks to everyone involved in making every visit as special as it is.

Really disappointing. Drove down from Edinburgh for what we thought would be excellent fish suppers from this apparently award winning fish and chip shop. To be fair, I'm going to lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of that slightly portly Peter Kay knock off guy who does takeaway reviews on the youtube. We were watching him earlier today reviewing some incredible place in Newcastle serving up fantastic looking thick, crisp battered fish and a lightbulb went off in my head as I recalled this place had recently been voted as having the best fish and chips - maybe in Scotland? Or the whole UK? I can't remember... But anyway, that's how we landed up here tonight. Unfortunately, just opening up the box was disappointing. No massive, fantastically battered piece as expected. Instead a smaller, weirdly trapezoid (yes, looked that up) shaped piece which immediately has you questioning the authenticity of what you're about to have. To make matters worse, they did that horrible thing of just dumping the fish directly on top of the chips. So by the time we got down to the sea front and got the box open, the chips had steamed the lower batter into a congealed mess with the chips. It was literally impossible to break off even one piece of battered fish to enjoy on its own. At best, a bit of the top batter and a bit of not particularly thick fish. Additionally, as has been pointed out in other reviews as well, some of this fish was grey. The only real positive any of us had was that the chips were "okay". And the caveat to that was that none of us came close to finishing them! That was because they were massively under seasoned. We had asked for salt and vinegar but the taste of either was hard to distinguish. Combine that with half of them being covered in the residue greasy batter which fell off the bottom of the fish and you get why half of them landed up binned on the Musselburgh sea front. Given the premium price you're paying here (compared to other fish and chip shops) and the horrendous expectation to actual quality ratio, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a miss. If you're in this neck of the woods and looking for fish and chips, you'd be much better off taking a short drive along to the chip shop on Portobello High Street instead and getting your supper there instead...

Wonderful friendly staff, very relaxed atmosphere but very trendy. Food was much better than some of the very fancy places we have eaten, the fish was outstanding....outstanding! Very reasonably priced and we cannot wait to come back.

Update- it disappoints me to have to write this. I purchased takeaway fish and chips this evening for the family and it was very disappointing. No one finished their food, batter on fish was very greasy, fish was grey and thin rather than white, meaty and milky. Many of the chips were tiny little bits, larger ones were limp and greasy. Vast contrast to the standard of food that I previously reviewed. At £12.50 for fish and chips we did expect a better standard. Makes me sad because it has always been my go to for fish and chips in this area. Best takeaway fish and chips in this area. Maybe have to wait a bit longer as everything is is cooked from fresh but most definitely worth the wait.

Heard so many good reviews regarding East Coast Chipshop Musselburgh, so as I was in the town I’d thought I would try a fish supper. Easily the most expensive Fish supper I’ve ever had at £12.50 and easily the worst fish supper I’ve ever had and I have had many to compare with. I can honestly say I wouldn’t take a free fish supper from this chippie and I will never be back.

Heard about this great fish restaurant in Musselburgh so as we were in the area we looked it up. Lovely from the outside and a warm welcome greeted us when we entered, the decor inside was bright and classy. We both decided on the 2 course early bird menu for £22 each, I had mussels and a wee haddock and chips, M had fishcakes and a wee haddock and chips, we shared a creamy rhubarb cheesecake, portions were perfect, but I couldn't help sneaking peeks at the couple next to us, sharing a huge seafood platter, it looked amazing...next time😊

Service wasn't great, we waited extra bit for the mains and waitress weren't very focused on us, but to be honest, it was a big fair in the harbour so probably they were very busy the whole day and could affect them.

Dined here many times, and also patronised the chippy many times. The Italian family the previously ran this establishment knew how to make a good batter and how to cook chips. East Coast has now changed hands, and I'm sorry to say..... it's not the same. The batter isn't the same, and the chips looked old, and certainly tasted like they'd been lying there for a while. Not pleased, but I'll give it a while then try again.

We were quite hungry and visited this place for a late lunch. I would not recommend it if the goal is just to have a quick and filling bite, which is typical for a seafood restaurant I guess, except fish and chips. But if you would like to experience some delicious sea food dishes be prepared to pay a fair price, although most dishes seem to be overpriced as the amount of sea food is quite small. Nevertheless, food is very delicious 😋 Staff is friendly and polite, relaxing atmosphere with nice chilled music.

Incredible little spot, all of our dishes were fresh as could be. Definitely coming back as soon as possible. We went for a mother's day early dinner and everything was great. Servers were obviously very busy with it being mother's day so they were a little flustered but that just meant they deserved a bigger tip for the excellent service they were providing! Mussels were excellent and I highly recommend the beer battered King prawns. Lots of options for veg/vegans and gluten free options available too. We will be back!

My hubby and I stopped into East Coast on our way to Northumberland for lunch. The restaurant’s interior is modern with nods to the seaside as you’d expect. We ate from the set menu (£22 for two courses) - choosing mussels, fishcakes, prawn calamari & fish with chips. The food was well presented, generous portion size, quick to the table and very tasty. Service was impeccable - warm, welcoming & very efficient. Overall excellent experience - would highly recommend!!

The wee fish n chips were fantastic and in spite of the name being wee, it was actually a decent size. The fish was very fresh and cooked beautifully! The beer batter was simply amazing! The minty mushy pea was out of this world! The king prawns calamari was excellent too! The team was very welcoming and attentive.
