Finlays Fish Bar & Cafe in Aberdeenshire

What a fantastic little place. It was bursting at the seams with locals when we went in (always a good sign). The owner met us at the door and gave us a table. He explained everything was local and fresh as. It certainly was!! We had breaded haddock and langoustines and chips. Just superb!

Excellent service, very attentive staff even though it was very busy. Fish was fantastic. Chips too. We managed to share a sticky toffee pudding which we didn't need but couldn't resist, this was delicious too. All in all a great family run restaurant with very fresh fish, they even know which boat the days catch came from.

Absolutely brilliant - booked the diner last minute - received a warm friendly welcome when we went in. A good choice of dishes on offer and very reasonable prices The pawn cocktail was super - well presented and delicious. Fish supper was the best we had tasted in years. Fresh, cooked to perfection and just simply scrummie. The staff are brilliant, friendly & helpful and just make it an overall super experience. Great value for money

The best fish and chips ive had in long time the service was excellent from the get go they went above and beyond we will definitely be back

Another amazing meal at Findlays, Sticky toffee pudding was fab. Great selection to choose from. Service is excellent as always.

The best ever fish and chips, the haddock was so fresh and the Cullen Skink superb. Well done.

Always an absolute treat, fish is always fresh and batter is always crispy and just perfect

We Had haddock, langoustines in batter jumbo sausage chips and curry sauce. Curry sauce was more a fruity style without the fruit and was very watery and a red colour. If your preference is fruity then maybe you'll enjoy but i prefer a more chip shop style curry than fruity curry.

Thought I would try this chippy, pass it regular working in the area. Ordered a large breaded fish supper, was given a ticket from who i think was the owner and it was brought to my van. Was easily the best fish supper I have had, fish was fresh and amazing and chips were cooked to perfection. Recommend this chippy (chipper)if your in this area. I will be definitely be back next time up Fraserburgh.

Absolutely amazing staff & food, never been to a place that has so helpful friendly staff, nothing was too much bother, great place

Great to see a thriving British fish and chip shop, eat in or takeaway, food to a very high standard. Give it a go, very very nice. Thanks A++

Perfect place for a seafood! Very kind man provided us a pleasant attendance in the restaurant and a tasteful seafood completed the afternoon at that place. Really recommend!

Best fish & chips, friendly service and nice people

Been here on many many occasions, one of the owners always greets me knows who I am always friendly and the food is just brilliant. Highly recommend to anyone

We happened to be in Fraserburgh for the day and noticed that this fish and chip diner was open so we went in not expecting much. How surprised we were! The gentleman who seated us, the waitress who brought our food were so pleasant and helpful; the menu was extensive and best of all.....what we ordered was delicious! All we had was haddock, chips and peas with a slice of bread and butter. The latter was lovely and fresh, the chips were nicely cooked and not as greasy as you often get in chip shops and the fish was delicious. I mean, really fresh, tender and delicious and a good size! Frankly it was the best fish and chips we have had in decades. Beats all the others which have won fancy awards and had their names in the newspapers which we have visited. This place really was above expectations.

I typically don't like fish. this is the first time I've ordered fish and chips in over 20 years which i did on a whim and my god i'm glad I decided to try. these people have their craft down to a science. food arrived very promptly after ordering and was absolutely delicious. It has left me wondering if I did like fish and chips all along but had only ever been served bad ones. If you are visiting the area and are a fan (or aren't) of fish and chips then this place is a great visit

Fantastic food and friendly service. Top notch fish and chips. Been 3 times and never disappointed. Food always very hot when served with plentiful chips along with your meal. Very clean and definitely be heading back for more.

Findlay's Fish Bar & Diner is a "can't miss". Cosy seating with walls covered in local fishing stories, the staff is welcoming and warm. If you have the chance, try the Cullen Skink soup- absolutely out of this world! Great prices, incredibly fresh seafood, and a very personal experience awaits you!

This was a lucky choice of a spot enroute to Aberdeen along the coastal route. We enjoyed the Cullen Skink followed by fish and chips. The food was very fresh and was served with courtesy and pride. Simply delicious!!

First time back in over 3 years - been going since it opened years ago & it is still absolutely fantastic. Great atmosphere & surroundings plus professional friendly staff. Best of all, the standard of all the fish/seafood/other options on the menu. A special shout out about the Cullen Skink - a great treat!!!

Best eatery in Fraserburgh and wider. Fantastic all round. Wouldn’t eat fish & chips anywhere else.

Toevallig hier aangekomen. Zag er eenvoudig maar proper uit aan de buitenkant en toen we binnenkwamen werden we ontvangen door een hele vriendelijke meneer. Veel uitleg over het menu. Heerlijke garnalen in beslag met erwten en frietjes gegeten. En nog een dessertje om te delen. Brownie met ijs en toffee saus. En dit alles voor een eerlijke prijs. Moesten wij ooit nog in de buurt zijn komen we zeker terug. Jammer dat het 1.300 km (800 mijl) ver is en er een zee tussen ligt 😳.

Absolutely beautiful fresh fish served in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

I was absolutely delighted to visit here with my mother-in-law. She recommended the place as she has been before and loved it. The man serving us (who I believe was the owner) was all too lovely, and we were well attended. The food was delicious, and I recommend ordering a portion of their homemade onion rings, they're huge and scrumptious. There is a takeaway area as most chip shops have, but it's separate to the dining area so it's not noisy. The toilets are clean and what you should expect from an establishment. They have a special sauce that is mildly spicy and it was delicious. They keep a stock of ice cream tubs from the local ice cream shop which I thought was a nice touch that they support local businesses as a local business themselves. I will definitely return, I've already told many people to go there when they visit Fraserburgh.

Great venue for lunch - we had a lovely of haddock and chips, staff were very attentive and friendly and it was impeccable clean. Thoroughly recommend.

Einfach spitze; lokaler Fisch und auch sonst regionale Zutaten. Der Inhaber ist sehr zuvorkommend und noch während man aufs Essen wartet hat mal einiges über die Geschichte der Stadt gelernt! Wirklich kernig. Gerne wieder.

Great food and great service for a great price! Will definitely return if ever in the area again.

Visit this place regularly and never had a bad supper, very well served and looked after, best chipper in the NE.

After finding recommendations on here, we stopped for lunch. Beautiful, fresh fish and Ian was friendly and informative of places to visit. The place was spotless.

Always get fish and chips here, unless it is shut. Excellent take out meals ans lovely home made sticky Toffee pudding. It is not cheap but worth every penny - treat yourself.

Called in on our way back down to Dunblane. They couldn't be more helpful. We ordered reg fish supper and we're asked what car we were in and where it was parked, then we went back to our car and waited for our order. The gentleman in the shop even told us to go down to the beach to eat them. Fish and chips very good and will go again when we are in the area.

Greeted at the door by Findlay, who showed us to a table and made us feel very welcome. He took genuine interest in us and we had a great chap. Young lad who waited upon us was great; very friendly, efficient, and eager to please....

The Cullen Skink was actually the nicest soup I've ever had So tasty Ian the owner is so welcoming and full of chat Highly recommended

We visited here based on great reviews online and were not disappointed. The food was fantastic, good choice of seafood and tasted amazing! All staff were lovely and friendly and made us feel welcome from start to finish. We were also given some very handy...

Best fish and chips in the area, wouldn't go anywhere else ⭐

I enjoyed the fish and chips as it well prepared. The barbecue source test fresh and the service was top-notch. Aside that the environment was clean and welcoming. After my lunch, I visited the fraserburgh water front, lots of side attractions, making the town friendly and relaxed. Please if you dear for a good fish and chips, please visit this Chiper.

The staff was super friendly and the fish absolutely delicious!

Best Fish n Chips on the planet!

Went here a few weeks ago while staying in peterhead for a few days, lovely staff, very child friendly and the food was delicious! next time we are up there will definitely come back to try the prawns!

Friendly and caring owners, they made us feel at home. We ate perfectly fried fish, chicken and onion rings. Would absolutely recommend it!

Great fish and chips and if I had the time I would have chosen to sit in . With Gluten free options available

Très très bon restaurant ! Le serveur était vraiment au top 👌 un accueil très chaleureux et une cuisine excellente ! On s’est tous régalé et ce n’est pas très cher pour la qualité et la quantité ! Tout le monde s’est régalé avec le fish and chips à tomber ! On a essayer le pudding et il était aussi délicieux ! Bref que du bon ❤️

Unbelievably good! All very tasty and fresh. They are very busy so there is a big queue but they run very efficiently so waiting time are tolerable.

Brilliant sit in for Fish and Chips. Fab fish fresh that day and fried to order. Been before and def go back again .

Best gluten free chip shop ever!!! Pineapple rings, biggest langoustines ever. Brilliant kids food too.

Delicious food specially the fish and chips but not only. Very friendly service with extra tips for local highlights. Take a break there!

The staff ist very friendly. We have a short talk with the owner and he gives us some good advices to visit. The fish was very delicious and tender. Fresh fish fished in the morning by local fishers

A little, cosy diner with first-rate service. Lovely owners serving quality food. The picture doesn’t lie. 11/10 experience

Very nice place with great service and very good food

Decided to stop here for lunch while in Fraserburgh for the day. I had the battered langoustines my mum had medium battered haddock which was larger than expected. Great value lovely staff will go back when next in Fraserburgh

Kein Restaurant wie erwartet, einfach eine Imbissbude. Keine alkoholische Getränke. Was auch bei einem guten Essen nicht tragisch wäre. Das Fisch- Nationalgericht (Schellfisch) in GB, + 1x Zitrus - Sole (Seezunge), paniert, gegessen. Die Seezunge war in der Panade kaum zu finden. Die Fisch"menge", minimal! Der Schellfisch "Standard" hielt sich auch in Grenzen, geschmacklich ebenso. Die Pommes, ging so. Das Erbsenpüree hat von allem am besten geschmeckt. Wie + was die Auszeichnung an der Türe "Best Food 2023" **** zu bedeuten hat, ist uns nicht erklärlich! Einfach nur eine Imbissbude.

Like others have said, the quality of the fish and chips was exceptional. The service was great and the diner was clean and tidy. Can't fault the place.

Excellent food and courteous, attentive service, from the moment I entered the restaurant (wet and bedraggled) where I was warmly welcomed, and throughout my meal. I had standard battered haddock, chips and mushy peas, with a pot of tea - £13.90. Toilets immaculate. I recommend Findlays without reservation, top quality!

Best fish and chips ever. Excellent service really friendly. Excellent menu choice and value for money. Will be back.

Tina turner just called from heaven to say your fish and chips are simply the best.

Great place with friendly staff and good food.

Local fresh haddock and excellent customer service. Recommend the jumbo breaded haddock. They will bring takeaway orders to your car.

Fresh and delicious fish, quick service, lovely atmosphere,I highly recommend!

Myself, and my mate went down on the bikes today (11/6/23) got the best fish suppers and the best service. Chap we spoke with I presume was the owner, couldn’t have been more helpful and wished us well on our journey after. We will be back I promise 😊

We had great fish and chips and langostines in our takeaway meal for 4. The cole slaw is too creamy for my liking, but I suppose that's a personal preference. Friendly staff and good service. Absolutely recommended!

Don’t think you can get better fresher fish very tasty Staff very friendly and chatty And the main thing fish is directly from local fishermen

Great fish n chips, best restaurant in the Broch.

Traveled from Collieston to Fraserburgh to try the fish&chip s on recommendation of our host. Well worth the distance. We both had the giant prawns, locally caught in the most delicious batter I have ever tasted. So light&fluffy. These were served with their own sweet...

Unfortunately the quality of frying has gone down, 2 visits 3 months apart, same result, fish not cooked enough, chips greasy, It used to be good , not anymore, Can’t even get them to put salt n vinegar on when requested .

2very happy Americans stopped in for some very fresh seafood!! Cullen Skink Soup and Fraserburgh Langoustines - THE BEST!! Their 89 yr in the fishing industry, incredible stories on their walls. Granny and great granny cleaning herring, as many as 60 herring a minute. I love this place❣️🦞 the drive to Pennan and Gardenstown were lovely, thank you!!

Auf der Durchreise haben wir das Lokal entdeckt. Wir würden sehr freundlich empfangen und bedient. Service Top. Der Fisch schmeckte sehr lecker und frisch. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

This was a great find. Tasty lunch after a visit to the lighthouse museum. Friendly staff, great food, would definitely recommend. Fish and chips went down a treat and we took home some Cullen skink for tea.

Called in for a fish supper. Can honestly say I've not had better since arriving in Scotland. And fabulous service too.

Definitely the best fish and chips in the area. Service was excellent from the owner meeting us at the door to the young lady behind the counter and finally the young man who was running up and down the road with people's orders. Will be...

Seafood that melts in the mouth. Great service too

Had take awake haddock chips peas and some other bits and pieces £24 whilst the fish was cooked the batter was awful- soggy- i was disappointed- the upside is - Lewie my dog wasn’t 😐

Lovely staff! The owner was very nice and attentive. We got good recommendations for food and for places to see around. I recommend the langoustines👌🏻 and the lemon sole. Fresh and delicate.

Always been good. highly recommend 👌 👍

We love our fish and chips and this is one of if not the best I have had over last few years. Fish was incredibly fresh. It was so good we did it two days in a row. Friendly waiting staff and owner. Definitely one...

This is a very nice place, friendly service, delicious food.

Friendly family business. Food was amazing had Cullen skink soup perfection

Fantastic lunch of Gluten and Gluten Free meals, Gluten Free Prawns are so good, well done Findlay's.

The Fish&Chips was fantastic. Thank you. 😋😋😋👍👍👍

Good food and fine friendly service

Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly staff.

Sehr lecker. Frischer Fisch perfekt zubereitet. Tolle und freundliche Bedienung. Preis Leistung mehr als in Ordnung.

Hands down the best fish and chips we’ve had in the UK. Classic pub food made with quality products really makes the difference. Wonderful service, genuine & lovely owner 👍

Exceptional service and fantastic fresh food.

We love it here, staff and food is awesome

Amazing fish. Got a large haddock and was same price as back in fife. Beats Anstruther anyday of the week.

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Quite possibly the best fish supper I have ever eaten, and I have eaten a few! Haddock was obviously very fresh and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

Stopped here after visiting the leisure centre, food was fantastic and the customer service was amazing The only thing I had to get over was a battered sausage with being from England but it tasted amazing.

By far the best chip shop in Fraserburgh area. Fish is fresh and staff very good and friendly. very clean and everything is order highly recommend.

Fabulous battered jumbo prawns and chips and a cheeky white pudding on the side. Never heard of battered prawns before and just had to try them, they did not disappoint. Lovely sparking clean shop and friendly staff. We drove down to the beach to eat...

You want the battered langoustines, trust me on this 🙌🏻

Top place to eat fish was wonderful highly recommend

Best fish and service I've had anywhere, ever.

The fish is always perfect as are the chips and peas. Very friendly and quick service. Eat them fresh in the restaurant for the best experience.

We had quite a variety of different meals, everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. The fish was 👌, I had breaded haddock and it was the best I've had. The customer service was also excellent, this restaurant is getting it right in every area!...

Best fish and chips in fraserburgh. Staff excellent.

Absolutely incredible. The batter was light in both colour and texture, the fish and langoustines were caught fresh that day. The service was kind, I can find no fault with Findlay's at all.

Haddock and chip was amazing! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Best fish and chips in Scotland!

Echt top. Heerlijk gegeten en een zeer gastvrije eigenaar. Erg vriendelijk.

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips 🥰

I'm not a habitual reviewer, but Finday's is worthy of comment. Other establishments may serve up fish and chips, but I doubt any are as good as this place. Very friendly, accommodating and attentive service. Locally caught fresh fish cooked to perfection - as are the chips. Different sized portions are available to suit all appetites. Choice of breaded or battered fish. I normally don't care for battered fish as it can be a bit 'stodgy'. At Findlay's however, the batter is a lovely light coating which enhances the flavour of the fish rather than overwhelming it. The breaded option is equally tasty. If you are in the area, visit here and treat yourself to some of the best fish and chips available.
