Quality poor snd very small portions. Fish was all batter and no fish, chips were few a far between, also considering they were cooked fresh not very hot. Also pricy to say the least. Much better chips a da harbour in Lerwick.

Easily the best gluten free fish & chips I've ever had. The batter on the fish was perfect, and the chips were crispy on the outside and super-soft on the in side. They were sooooooo good. It was my first time having haddock and it didn't disappoint. Very tasty. If I ever make it back to Shetland I am making a visit to Frankie's a priority.

On a brief vacation stay in the beautiful Shetland Islands we happened upon Frankies at lunch time and took a break to enjoy a delightful meal. The best haddock and smoked haddock we have ever had along with the home made mushy peas. Definitely not to be missed if you are in the area.

This is a great chippy, with sit in and takeaway options. Their fish and chips are justifiably famous, with the fish being so fresh and tasty, and they serve so many other things too - sea food of course and also chicken and burgers among others.

This is an award-winning chippie, and certainly the fish and chips are very good, not the absolute best I have had in Shetland, but then Shetland is noted for outstanding fish cookery. It is ecologically sound too, big on sustainability. The surroundings are beautiful and the place itself pleasant, though oddly lacking in atmosphere. Service is brisk and efficient and prices reasonable. There's a nice outside terrace to see the views from.

What a poor experience, called in for lunch, had a Scampi & chips supper and a sausage supper. When meals were bought to us I thought they had made a mistake and bought us child’s portions. Very small quantity and even the chips were Luke warm. Scandalously over priced and tiny portions. Won’t be coming back here until the portions and quality improve.

We stopped in here at the end of a long tour to see Shetland’s award-winning fish & chips shop. We got the big fish & chips battered, small fish & chips panko-breaded and mushy peas. There were many other options on the menu for our meal, but we opted for the standards on our first visit. It was quite crowded, requiring either a reservation or takeaway, but food came out quickly. Overall, the food was pretty well-done. We’re certainly glad it’s here, upholding the classic tradition.

We have been going to Frankies since in inception. we "local" Unfortunately, in recent visits, the take away portions are tiny in comparison to previous. You only find this out once you have departed. In future, as this is a good "chip shop" I will be opening the box before I leave and check. This review is only made in the hope that portions well return to more favorable amount for the £13 price tag as at present my last servings were a joke.

Have seen and heard so many people talking about Frankie’s and decided that we had to try. And we were not disappointed, the fish and chips that we ordered was a nice size portion, and so tasty. Even sat on the balcony, so had fish and chips with a view. Would definitely recommend

Shame to return to Frankie’s after two years to find a big difference in what you get if takeaway rather than eating in. You only find out when you’ve driven away from the restaurant. Why ration the cheapest part of the meal - chips?! Big gaps in the smaller boxes of fish and chips (£13), and we could hold a single portion in one hand (£3.50). Tasted good, there just wasn’t enough of it. Stingy and embarrassing.

So, it's a take away chippie with a cafe. We ate in and my haddock and chips where genuinely some of the best fish and chips I have had. Fish perfectly cooked, lightly battered and not in the slightest bit greasy. Chips good. They also serve cake, which we didn't try but looks good Advice- check out the specials board and not just the cafe menu which we noticed going out. We will go back before we leave the island at the end of our holiday and hope that the special of deep fried scallops is still on!

We were trying to find a good spot to dine on a Monday (a difficult day to find food on Shetland) and our guide to us to this great place. The seafood was fresh and we were told the owner catches fish and brings it directly to the restaurant. Me and my family shared Mussels au "natural" – basically with just lemon juice and parsley, juicy and buttery pan-fried scallops, nicely flavored haddock fish cakes with fries and a fried mushroom, and a baked potato with corn. Everything was on point, except for the baked potato, which arrived cold and not so easy to enjoy. They were pretty busy though, so maybe the potato temperature fell by the wayside to fulfill so many orders.

Pay on line or by cash. One customer served at a time; and quite a restricted fish menu, but with burger / pizza / 'pudding' supper options.

My fiancée and I were visiting Shetlands for the Lerwick Up Helly Aa festival and were staying in Brae. Frankie’s was just down the road from where we were staying at Drumquin House (amazing place by the way) and we had passed by it a couple of times during our daily tours of the island. Both of us being seafood lovers and at the recommendation of our hosts, we stopped in one evening and had a bite. I had the kettle of mussels in a spicy sauce and my fiancée had the fish and chips. The food and service were excellent! All the seafood was local, which we always try to stay local when traveling, and plenty of it. The mussels came in a kilo kettle and were marinating in a mouth watering spicy sauce and the shrimp and chips were done with perfection. The batter wasn’t greasy, the shrimp were fresh and the chips were not frozen but freshly cut and deep fried. The restaurant was clean and neat, with mostly locals enjoying dinner and the service was excellent. Should we go back to the Shetlands for another fire festival, we will be sure to put in a stop here!

This isn't just the Daddy of all Fish Restaurants this is the Mummy and the Daddy of all Fish Restaurants.To call it a fish & chip shop is to do it a disservice, it's THE Chippy. I've eaten at chippies the length and breadth of Britain and this one might be the furthest north but just like Muhammad Ali it's the greatest. Fresh caught fish freshly cooked and from a sustainable source is your go to dish, there's many others on a wonderful menu, I've sampled almost all of them without fault. Kids are catered for too with thought gone into a family experience. As a bonus the view is sensational and on special days the Orca come in so close it looks like they're enquiringly about desert. Peak times it's best to phone and book a table, but if it's the traditional take away you're after service is prompt and polite. To come to Shetland and miss out on a Frankies Fish Supper is like going to The Louvre and missing out on the Mona Lisa. Britains Best is highly recommended.

Frankie's remains a superb place for fish and chips. Great service, absolutely superb haddock and, of course, a great location as the most northerly fish and chip shop in Scotland.

Frankie's advertises itself as the northernmost fish and chips shop in the UK and I believe the claim but far more importantly the food dished up there is great. We only did takeaways there but on both occasions the fish, the chips, the calamari and everything else was great. The food was provided quickly and hot as hell when given to you [which is what you want] and the service was friendly, efficient and effective. I can only imagine what it must be like to get some of this stuff late at night after a spell in the pub when "that" craving takes hold.

It might be the northernmost, which I'm sure draws people in (myself included). Not worth the money and not very good quality. It's take away food that you can eat at a table. I paid £15 for 5 scallops that were undercooked and tasteless and had to pay an extra 50 p for tomato ketchup for my chips. Wonder why the business is for sale?!?!

This is an order-at-the-counter, take-it-to-your-table place. Fish and chips were decent, nothing too out of the ordinary, but as one of the few places for a casual meal in Brae it attracts a diverse set of customers. We ate there on a Friday evening, and the line stretched out the door--families, tourists such as ourselves, and costumed passengers from two "party buses" who were grabbing meals to go as they set out to visit multiple pubs in celebration of 21st and 50th birthdays.

A good but overpriced fish supper. My "large" fish (£9.50)would be classed as small elsewhere. Also in mid afternoon I had to eat it with my fingers out of a takeaway box even though I was sitting at a table. Being Britain's northernmost chippie doesn't mean it's the best.

With what can only be described as an army of staff, my question is what an earth are they doing because it must be the only fish and chip shop in Britain that you have to wait 25 for a box of chips. This place has gone down hill massively in the past few years they used to win awards all the time and these days the only award I would give them is for wasting customers time.

Fish and chips is one of those issues that always causes controversy. This is quite a big fish and chip shop that has a wide, varied menu and produces good food. I had battered smoked haddock, chips and mushy peas and my Husband had large Haddock and chips in Panko Breadcrumbs - it was huge. The fish was very obviously fresh and cooked to order. I thought the homemade tartar sauce was slightly overpriced but it hasn’t stopped us planning to go back for dinner tomorrow - our last day on the islands!

Stopped in at the Braewick Cafe on my way to Eshaness Cliffs on a beautiful sunny day. The cafe was under COVID-19 restrictions but felt very safe and wasn't crowded. Plenty of hand sanitiser available, and separate entrance and exit doors. For lunch I had the battered haddock and chips with salad and coleslaw. It was perfect - piping hot local fish, freshly cooked - and there was plenty of it, it was a feast! I also had a delicious latte. The staff were lovely and friendly. The view of the cliffs and sea from the front windows is amazing, particularly on a sunny day. Definitely worth a visit!
