Fish & Chips in Highland

Worst fish and chips I've ever had. Way too oily and tasted like it was fried in old dirty oil. Made me feel sick, really disappointed, you'd think a quayside chippie could do better. Fish left a literal puddle of oil on the table after soaking through several layers of paper.

I'm not a picky person when it comes to food, the fish and chips from this place are something else tho... The only positive thing I could come up with are the calories I gained from em. Incredibly oily, missing a lot of flavour and no love at all. Cash only and next to no space in the shop does not add to the experience. Might have been just a bad day, but it really set back the mood of our group. Would be a skip from me :)

Best fish and chips in Scotland so far 👌

Great fresh fish and chips at a good price, food was made quickly and the service was great. I’ll come back for dinner if I’m in the area again.

Good option for a meal given the priciness of eating out in the true sense in Portree.

We ordered a coffee, there was a bit of confusion between the outside and inside counter

It’s was just great food, and we got it fast. Ask for extra vinegar, the places slaps.

Incredibly expensive and definitely not worth the price. Having to pay for sauces says it all about this place. Portions are small and the curry sauce which by the way is £1.50 is a sauce from the fridge. They have agreement with travel agencies to bring them clients however I would strongly recommend to find another place

It’s ok I guess. I’ve eaten worse fish. I don’t think anything is worth it except the fish.

Best fish and chips on our trip to Scotland and Ireland. The employees were great and the food was awesome. Say yes when they offer salt and vinegar. Cash only, so be prepared. Not sure why some reviews said it was a tourist trap. Just good food.

Got my order wrong and overcharged me. Fish cooked ok and chips decent. Fish had bones in it however.

I've had much better fish and chips. Definitely not worth the 40 min wait to get a table. Didn't care for the beer either.

Good ole fashion Fish and Chips. Couldn't get any fresher except if you fried them on the boat. Have to eat it fresh out of the fryer, dont wait. Large portion of fish. Very, very filling.

Very good fish and chips ! (Real fish real chips)

Tourist trap! Worst fish and scampi I've tried in Scotland. Also watered down curry sauce.

Great fish and chips with generous portions and served with a smile. Even my partner who doesn't like fish devoured it 🥰😇. If I don't give 5 stars, it's just because their sauces are not homemade (at least the tartare🥺, that would be great) but are 2 simple sachets per portion and sold for £0.20😭.

We were starving after a whole morning of sightseeing and were recommended this fish&chips. We waffled it down because we were hungry but as I ate it, I knew there would be consequences later because the food tasted super greasy and oily. 🤢 I was right because I had digestive problems in the evening and felt really sick. My mum also felt this way. The atmosphere and the vibes of eating your fish&chips by the sea are the only reasons I’m not giving this place one star. The meal itself was very mediocre for what you pay and definitely not the best fish and chips.

We ordered fish & chips, peas and gravy. The fish was truly crispy and fresh, however other items were a little bit plain. But still, I consider it a good choice in Portree. It opens 7 days a week by the way. The opening hour on Goggle is somehow incorrect.

Fast food in the "eat by the bay" version. There are no tables. The food was ok.

Great place to grab a fish and chips and eat it while looking at the sea. Perfect portions so you don't stay hungry. Fast service. Important: they only accept cash.

Quick service which is a worry in itself. Greasy old chips and as the fish was sitting on top of chips the batter became soggy. A few bones in fish still had some skin on it. Overpriced for what it was. Threw half of it in the bin.

The worst fish and chips ever tasted portion not big ... medium fish not cooked enough along with batter......Greeley... we both put in bin ..... very very disappointed

Soggy fish undercooked dripping with grease. Chips seemed old n greasy. The place could do with a good clean too. Owners should be ashamed.

Amazing fish & Chips, fast and friendly takeaway service

40 minutes for some fish and chips, which were frozen that I could have bought at the coop on the corner.

Fish was full of bones not sure why? Kept getting struck in my throat. Kind of ruined the experience as it did look nice to eat. Curry sauce was okay though. Also they only accept cash which is really annoying.

Fast and delicious and they don’t skimp on the vinegar and salt

They only accept cash and i got a very bad stomach ache after 🥹.. but i like the taste of it.

Hands down the best fish and chips in Portree! The fish was an immense portion, and I could eat the chips forever (not an exaggeration). The chips were the best ever. They're fries that taste like potato chips! I'm still dreaming about them. You need to pay in cash, and you pay extra for sauces, but you definitely don't need any ! There isn't any seating, just a takeaway. We'd be regulars if we lived nearer. A must try!!

Delicious fish and chips. The scampi are also recommended. Very friendly staff!

The chips were not very nice looking the sausage and onion rings were lovely but the fish was full of grease and for the price it is quite shocking.

Found a battery in our food. Otherwise alright…

We ate the best fish and chips there on our trip to Scotland so far The dough was very special and delicious.

The fish had several bones. The fries were soaked in oil. Too much salt. Digestive problems in the evening.

This is extremely reasonably priced, great food. Best fish and chips I had in Scotland. There is not seating, so just sat by the water and ate. Great experience! Very kind and up beat staff.

Delicious, simple food that the boys prepare quickly!

People were lovely but food not the best. Was extremely oily and not very flavourful. Fries were old. Was costly for the quality.

Great fish and chips and other dishes, fairly priced and straight in the harbour. Lovely people as well!

The chips looked like they were 3 days old. The fish was full of bones and undercooked. The batter was soggy. We both had digestive problems the next morning. Avoid at all costs. No vegetarian option either.

Greasy and not very tasty, Huggies a disaster They charged us for 10 pounds

Only cash, not acceptable in 2024…

They accept only cash… unbelievable in 2024

A fast food establishment. It's not bad, but you shouldn't come to life too much from the kitchen.

We shared a portion of fish and chips, the portion was large! The fish tasted fresh and the breading was delicious. Otherwise, unfortunately, they are extremely greasy, making the chips hard to eat. Of course, that is also a matter of taste. I wouldn't eat here again.

Horrible burger and chips. I hope the fish is better.

I invited a friend who came to Skye. I was very satisfied with the traditional fried fish and chips.

Good shop for fish n chips. Take away only. Also they accept cash only.

Great fish and chips as it was crunchy and had a proper portions. You can pair with their bbq or mustard sauce (add £0.2). They also provide tea, coffee as beverage for £1.5.

very rude service and greasy small portion fish & chips, the beef burger is the most disgusting burger I have eaten so far, just wondering how they get 4.1 rating ….

The female serving was extremely rude and condescending regarding not having seen the cash only sign. So much so we took our business elsewhere to the chip shop on the hill which served lovely food, took card payments and had excellent customer service skills with a smile

Almost the best fish and chip, worth the waiting.

Very disappointing. Saw the rave reviews which must be for a different shop. Lots of Fish bones, small portions for over £10 takeout. Batter was crispy, that is as good as it gets. Try the other shops before this one.

I had fish and chips and the food was so, so good. I want to point out that I've never eaten chips as good as this place. This to me was next level. I don't know what they do to their chips and it might just be the way it's done in Scotland, I don't know. Out of all of the fish and chip shops I've gone to, this is by far the best.

Disgusting over priced food with poor customer service. Tasteless, oily and over cooked to a crisp - this is so disappointing for such a prime location and serving tourists from around the world. This place will be busy regardless due to its location - who knew a chip shop literally on a harbourside could get it so wrong. Happy with prices if the food is good but literally unedible- 2 fish suppers and a juice for £25!! Go to the chippy on the hill nearby, lovely food and helpful friendly service.

Unfriendly service, but it works very quickly Typical Fish & Ships Bistro in terms of taste

Very good Fish and Chips! With fresh products and generous portions!

Great little dish to take away and eat on the spot. Really very good! The frying is fine and the fish is excellent.

The owners seem very nice and were very chatty - it's a shame they cook everything in processed vegetables oils (not good for anyones health)... Luckily you can get beef dripping up to street - i guess they're providing a service to all these poor vegans.

Bought fish and a tray of greasy oil saturated chips/bottom of the pan crumbs absolute disgusting un edible muck I have used this Chippy a good thew times and it’s been ok but what I was served today 10/9/23 I won’t be back absolute stinking and not cheap £10.50 for a tray of grease

The only truly authentic scottish fish & chips experience I found on my recent trip north. Most establishments try to cater for a more continental or international clientele - or actual human beings in general. Not this place though. The fish & chips encounter is as horrible as it's supposed to be and has been told off for generations: fish so greasy it melts your cheap plastic fork (plastic knife not provided, just use your hands), sloppy, half-cooked chips without taste, onion rings that make you consider your life's choices - a traditional scottish meal that will support your appreciation of the island's beverage producers. The final touch is the loving presentation of the food and the cheap, unopenable sauce sachets of indistinct flavour. No save-the-planet-greenies around here, each meal produces enough rubbish to offset a larger residential building's recycling efforts. If you fancy a more traditional approach to hebredian cuisine and have good health insurance, this is the place to visit in scotland!

Oily fish with some bones inside it, no sauces to offer. Also, the service is very questionable . The other fish and chips, "The chippy" , located 150 meters from them on the street level much , much better (and tasty also)

Food was okay. Was shocked and stunned at the lack of customer service from the young man who was serving. Very rude to us considering we spent a lot of Money. Complained that he had to call for us three times considering that he told us to go outside. Some other snide remarks to us also. All in it was a really bad experience.

Best fish and chips in town, probably in the highlands.

Long queues and they only allow cash, fish and chips were average only and there were bones in them. Dun see the hype in queuing for it

Heads up cash only. Fish and chips were pretty good for a tourist town.

Excellent fish and chips: fried well and not greasy. Service ok Too bad they only accept cash payment and no cards

Shame on Scotland for offering such disgusting food especially since they have a photo of Charles and Camillo. Fish greasy fries like scraps and chicken smelly!!! Never again 🤨 and I recommend avoiding this place !

the meal was delicious, but I found at least ten fishbones in my fish and it was very oily. Expect a queue as it is quite a popular place and that´s the reason whey they are in such a hurry. The fish was packed straight from the fryer without it having had a chance to drain properly.

Chips were ok but far too much salt, and I enjoyed the fish but the batter was extremely greasy. None of us managed to finish. It was very busy though, so maybe just too many people. The service was polite and friendly, cash only sounds dodgy these days though and very inconvenient in 2023!

Only take away Ok food, batter too thick for my taste The lady had no patience for us, though there was only us and one more in the line..

Amazing Fish & Chips! Safe to say the best we've ever had👍🏻 Great view of the Harbour, well worth a visit.

I tried this place while visiting Portree. The food is OK but the prices I felt are way too expensive.

10.50 pounds for frozen scampi and about twenty chips. Separate tray of chips pitiful amount. Fleeced

I love this chippy I am a local and some know my order chips with EXTRA salt and vinegar

Delicious fish and chips, and incredibly kind staff - gave me a free fish & chips after I dropped mine at the front door. Thank you!

Lovely fresh cooked fish good staff and quantity of food.

Very delicious fish and chips, soft and full of flavour! They accept cash only, but there is an ATM around the corner in RBS. At the same place you can get on a Stardust boat trip and see sea eagles, seals, dolphins, puffins. The chances to see the wildlife depend on the weather and the more calm and quiet it is the higher the chances to see them. You get a free tea, coffee or hot chocolate if you get on a boat trip. Highly recommend both boat trip and fish and chips!

Reading other reviews is almost comical. This place is exactly what it’s supposed to be! It’s local and fresh and fast. There are no tables or benches outside so you have to be creative and find a cute place to park it to eat. All the complaining like you’re walking into a Michelin star place and they’ve disappointed you. The man working was a delight! I asked for light salt on mine and got it and it was DELICIOUS fish (yes greasy at times) but absolutely one of the best and the fastest option in portree. Don’t let the silly tourist persuade the travelers from experiencing this little joint because it’s great!

I cant recommend- old frying oil and frozen chicken.

The worst fast food I have ever. Fish smells bad. Waiting for >30 mins and the staff was rude. And only accept cash

Don't be decieved by the glowing reviews that this establishment has somehow garnered. This is by far one of the worst chippies I've ever had (and as a scot I've had a fair few). Not only were the supper portions extremely meagre, they also tasted awful. Half the chips i got were still hard and the other half were the burnt crispy ends (hardly a chip). The scampi was in no way fresh and super oily. To top it all of it was extremely pricey. You didnt even get sauce for free, just horrible cheap tasting satchets (try a bottle of gold star brown sauce 'fish and chips'). Of course some of this I may have overlooked if the server had only been kind enough to put a smile on her sour face. She had complete disdain and impatience for tourists particularly those from other parts of the world. Do yourself a favour, try one of the other chippies.

The kind of place that would really benefit from a self-service kiosk so they can't remove interaction from the process. Had fish and chips; fish alright and chips were not plentiful to say the least. Maybe the time of day (4pm) played into it. Seemed put out by me being there. Don't ask if it comes with cutlery or if they have a bin. Also, the Indian chap that came saying he was vegetarian and if he could have chips - probably unfair to treat him as if he'd asked you to deep fry your dog and basically laugh him out of the shop.

Best fried fish we have ever eaten! Absolutely recommended! And the fried haggis is good too.

Very good quality fish & chips. Perhap the best in Portree!

There are all sorts of fried foods here at very reasonable prices. We shared a portion of fish and chips, the portion was large! The fish tasted fresh and the breading was delicious. Otherwise, unfortunately, they are extremely greasy, making the chips hard to eat. Of course, that is also a matter of taste. I wouldn't eat here again.

Best fish and chips I’ve had by a seafront! Fresh, soft fish with super crispy batter and a good portion of chips that weren’t soggy… We went on a Sunday when lots of other places were closed so there was a long wait but worth it! Just watch the seagulls…

This is a place for takeaway only as they pump out fish and chips at an unbelievable record. I highly recommend coming here. My wife and I stopped by here and ate at the lake. We only got one order of fish and chips and it was plentiful. I thought the taste was really food, the fish was fresh without that "fishy" smell or taste. I highly recommend a visit to this place! They do cash only so make sure you bring cash.

Delicious fish and chips, with lovely view on the harbour. It’s with its reputation and there’s high demand, get there early. Efficient staff. The fish is coated in batter right before being fried.

Fish and chips were DELICIOUS for the first five minutes before everything started turning to mush. Perhaps I should have eaten faster haha before the oils from the fish batter leaked down to the chips. It would have been even more delicious with more vinegar sprayed on and more salt. Pity we had to pay extra for each sauce packet. Service was quite slow but there were only 2 employees in the tiny tiny chipper so patience is a virtue. Take out only.

One of not many places where could get something to eat as most restaurant fully booked on bank holiday weekend, fish was fresh and tasty, long queue.

Fish & chips were very good. The employees were very friendly and open to a nice conversation. There was no smell of frying fat or fish in the store itself, which I thought was good while waiting for food.

It's hard to eat in Portree... half the restaurants you need to make reservations at and the other half you need to get to at 5pm and wait in line until you can get in. This helped us avoid that and it was cheap and convenient l. The food was good too. You should be prepared to share a picnic table with others or take your meal away.

I was very disappointed with the fish & chips we had. I had been attracted by an online recommendation and the average rating of the establishment. Perhaps this was partly due to the charming little port of Portree where it is located? In any case, I didn't like it at all: way too fatty, way too much salt added on top of the fries, not much taste. And far too expensive for what it is. Moreover, they only accept cash... I guess this method of payment offers unparalleled advantages... I won't be back.

It's the classic take away inn, everything seemed good, too bad it doesn't accept card payments, in tourist places it seems absurd to me in 2023 there are no excuses

Delicious, fresh, crispy and quick fish&chips. Cash only though.

Great and cheap fish and chips. But only take out

Was told couldn't come in with our our small dog. Only wanted to order fishandchips. The place looked below average in hygiene anyway. Bad attitude and put a real downer on Portree. Wouldn't recommend if your looking for friendly Scottish personality.

£10.5 good quality fish , salt & vinegar were very carefully sprinkled & sprayed evenly on chips and then fish , the batter was crispy & well seasoned !!! Must try in Portree 👍

Friendly staff, delicious fish & chips. We recommend!

10.50 for a greasy fish and chips that made me sick ( because of the excess of grease). Also they asked 20p per sauce while in the other fish and chips shop they are nicer and they give sauce for free and it is cheaper ( we tried both of the shops). You can't dine in and there is no table outside or any place to avoid the rain.
