Harbour Fry in Orkney Islands

Absolutely amazing Birthday Boy loves the curry so we went for his Birthday Tea 5☆☆☆☆☆ as always 😍

I caught them ( pun intended) just before closing, and wow, the portion was massive. Lovely tasty fish. I definitely recommend and would use again, but I live 600 miles away.

Was here once last year, back then "take away" from Happy Haddock. Now I wanted to try the Harbor Fry. I shared a portion of fish & chips with my wife in the restaurant and we were also completely satisfied. We found both restaurants to be very good value for money.

A clean, bright chippy. I could have a small portion of fish and chips, which was just right for me. Fish, batter and chips were all of very good quality, and just as they should be. The young staff were cheery, polite and efficient.

Friendly service, excellent fish and chips, clean and fresh atmosphere. Overall this is a great place for a tasty lunch.

Friendly staff. Best chippy on Orkney. Descent chips, generous fish portions, crispy batter and no soggy bits. Sampling the Orkney Patties should be compulsory for all visitors to the island.

Often very well attended if you arrived there by ship. Portions are decent and tasty. The price was absolutely okay.

It became apparent one needs reservations for dinner at most restaurants in Kirkwall. Lucano pizza shop we stopped at had a mislabeled sign on the door inviting you in but upon entering we were curtly told without a reservation there was no seating. Sort of like ‘Go away’. One wonders why the sign. Oh, well. We went down the street to Harbour Fry where my wife and I enjoyed a marvelous fish and chips meal. I made an assumption based on fish portion so often seen at home, by ordering two pieces of fish. I think the waitress was taken back by my request. I was taken back when I saw how big the pieces of fish were. The fish appeared to be filets of white fish covered in a batter which had been deep fried. I peeled the batter covering from the fish and ate the first piece but only half of the second piece. The fish was excellent, the fries made up of small pieces of potato, just fair. Were I to return, I’d skip the fries just to enjoy the fish.

While we were in Orkney we had a chippy tea from here and the food was good. Staff were efficient on a busy Friday night. Would recommend.

Lovely, juicy fish. Chips are a little sharp for my liking. Very friendly polite staff, and a huge queue out the door that doesn't move especially quickly. Nice to sit in for a surcharge

Very very friendly staff with the poor lost foreigners that we were 😂. Excellent fish and chips (very fatty) with their “garlic majo”. Large portions. Low prices and fast service... however, there was a queue, many customers taking takeaway and the restaurant was always full the whole time we were there. I recommend 😍.

Came across this chippy because we couldn’t get anywhere for a meal. Fish and chips, scampi and chips, cheese patties . The girl who served me was lovely, polite, happy and very organised. The food was so good ! We all enjoyed it so much

Good portions, value for money and very friendly staff. Chips, excellent, but fish was slightly over cooked on the outside. Would definitely recommend.

Food excellent. Service a disgrace. Waited over 30 min to get served. Despite over 20 people in kew outside all the time and most people ordering fish. None was ever ready. Pathetic on a sat night. The staff really weren't in a rush either. Where I come from your business would have disappeared long ago.

The store was packed 10 minutes after opening. He was recommended to us by our tour guide. Traditional British fish and chips. Was greasy and good. It's better to leave out the fried sausage that we ordered with it.

Amazing Fish and Chips, really good quality of food. Very good and friendly service, too.

Typically British and delicious

Visited for tea while we were on holiday. The fish and chip supper was delicious and the girls serving are a credit to the establishment. Would throughly recommend and dog friendly too.

Popped in here for fish and chips during cruise stop off. Excellent nice staff would thoroughly recommend. Very busy not too long to wait. Large portion.

Takeaway fish and chips. Fish excellent and large portions, chips a bit dry. Lots of choices on the menu, almost everything deep fried. Fair prices and pensioner specials. Good for hungry families because most restaurants and cafes in Kirkwall are high priced for meals.

A joke, we asked to eat at the premises and after waiting a long time at the table they told us that we had to take the food when they closed an hour later, without a doubt the service is regrettable. I don't recommend it to anyone

Fish and chips really good and the two guys behind the counter very friendly! Unfortunately the girl cleaning the tables wasn’t ! At 7.50 started putting the stools on the tables around us banging them down loudly and rudely telling customers it was closed even though it doesn’t close to nine !!! I’m sure closing 8.30 would have give people more than enough time to eat

Great for GF options and good value

Nice restaurant nice staff great fish and chips

Lovely veggie burger with chips and mushy peas! It was nice to be able to sit in. Thank you!

Food was okay but the service left a lot to be desired, lack of communication left long wait times and dissatisfied customers, one guy left when we were waiting as none of the staff notice he hadn't been served despite him asking...

Good meal. Chips really fine. Sit in or takeaway quick service

It's like a week in jail waiting to get served here despite five people on and all the food prepped they are incredibly slow and potter about. When you have a team of five or six working and your que is out the door you are not doing something right. Why is nobody serving and just standing talking. No que management or at least acknowledging customers waiting. The food itself is good but would not bother again or risk half an hour waiting to get service just for some takeaway food.

Brilliant, good food friendly staff who were very busy

Cozy place, young and friendly staff, good food, excellent fried food! Advised

Good pattie supper with friendly, quick service!

I arrived on the Aida cruise ship from Hamburg, and I’ve been waiting years for some decent fish and chips. Harbour fry was recommended to me by the tour guide who lives in Kirkwall, and it didn’t disappoint. The fish and chips were delicious and excellent value for money.

Perfect fish supper, really good light crispy batter, tasty fish, great chips and really good mushy peas, not a lot can beat classic mushy peas with your chips in my book and these were excellent. Partner also has a mince pattie and loved it. Great value for money.

Brilliant proper chip shop, all cooked fresh, gluten free options and dog friendly as well. Strongly recommended.

Lovely fish and chips and clearly very popular. Once we had placed our order the service was very fast.

Ordered for 14 people, all delicious and freshly made.

Went for a sit in tea. Sadly my fish was off. Chips were great. Husbands fish was just ok ISH. Not the freshest. Won't have fish here again.

Fast service. Excellent fried fish.

Busy, friendly, tasty traditional fish and chips in Kirkwall. Great service, ate in, every thing well cooked, and the battered haddock was so fresh. It gets very busy, we arrived around 6.00pm on a cold Monday evening and there was plenty of seating.

Wow! No wonder people were lining up waiting for the door to open! We joined the line to have one last meal of fish & chips before we left Orkney the next morning. And Harbour Fry certainly didn’t disappoint. If you’re looking for luxury or charming decor, this isn’t the place for you. But if it’s good food at a reasonable price, this is definitely the place. My husband and I ordered the fish and chips of course and were totally impressed. It was a delicious meal. The servers were so friendly and helpful, indeed the whole team, behind the counter, worked like a well-oiled machine. They worked their way through that lineup in record time. The menu on offer was extremely varied with choices for all tastes, including curries.

Excellent fish and chips (with good GF choice)

Best fish and chips ever. Lovely staff, tasty meal, huge portions.

Affordable prices and traditional food, with gluten free options!! It is a small and typical place in the city.

A chippy according to tradition, with forays into Scottish cuisine. It's worth a stop.

Jak na wyspy bardzo dobry fishing chips,obsługa bardzo miła

Really nice fish, Big portion of chips and lots of crispy bits.

Die besten fish'n'chips die ich bisher hatte. Die glutenfreie Version war auch besser als alle bisher gegessenen. Preis war voll in Ordnung.

Great wee cafe chip shop and fab staff

Great local family owned fish fry. We had the local fish and the chicken nuggets. Made to order and the fish was amazing. We sat and talked to other people who just stopped in. Give them a try. Yes it was crowded but worth the wait. They have a few tables also. Love the conversation

We've had the best fish and chip ever. We are from an irish fishing village and I thought it was the best till now. Well done to all here

Fantastic fish and chips, hubby loved the Orkney patty. It's great portions and brilliant value for money.

Lovely fish and chips at a great price! Patties were nice as well. Chips are included in the supper.

Absolutely rubbish, chips were overcooked and dry, and so was the fish. Way over priced do not eat there.

Delicious hot fresh haddock & chips from Harbour Fry. Tastiest haddock I’ve had in a long time - cooked to order. My husband enjoyed the haggis slice too & the curry sauce was spicy & flavourful. A local lady I chatted to recommended the minced beef patties - I’ll have one next time. Very friendly staff & great value too. Highly recommend!

Super Laden, tolles Essen große Portion super lecker

Perfect end to our day out to Westray. We got back in time to dine in and had some great fish with chips. Went to our holiday let with full stomachs, thank you.

Excellent fish and chips with very polite and helpful staff.

Not as good as it used to be. Very disappointed

Excellent friendly and efficient service, reasonably priced and clean 👌

The food was fantastic! When we walked past the day before we went there was a queue of people out the door! All of them locals. You always know the best place to eat if there a queues of local people waiting to get in for food! The server was friendly and was able to ask questions and queries on my behalf. They were so helpful with my food allergies because they steamed some fish for me and have a separate gluten free fryer for people with allergies to gluten like me. As we ate in the resteraunt, the photos I've taken are after I'd already taste tested mine so it doesn't look as pretty as it did to start with. But the food was devine. My partner got the battered fish and chips with a small sized Curry sauce. The atmosphere was a little drab but it was serviceable. Well worth a visit if you're in Kirkwall at any point! Eat in or take away, you will not be disappointed!

El fish & chips está increible. No le damos las 5 estrellas porque depende de la empleada que te atienda. Hay algunas que parece que no les pagan. Si tienes la suerte de que te toca la chica rubia que te atiende con una enorme sonrisa y amabilidad, repites sin dudarlo.

Excellent chippy with separate gluten free fryer. Good quality fish and chips, well worth a visit if in Kirkwall.

A superb sit-in chippie. Or just as good to take away and eat at the harbour, weather permitting!

Nicest Haddock I’ve ever had. Chips were perfect. Had to try the black pudding fritter and haggis fritter. Absolutely outstanding. Highly recommend!

Great little fish and chip shop. We had a big order of fish and chips for a family of 6 and an order of chicken and sweet and sour for me. We forgot the sweet and sour sauce and one of the lads from the chip shop ran halfway down the street to give us it, great service! 😁

Excellent and wide range of food at excellent prices with friendly customer service. Dog friendly too!

Always great Gluten free options

I had one night in Kirkwall whilst I waited for my return flight and was recommended the Harbour Fry and they were not wrong. The fish and chips was simply stunning. If only I could return again tomorrow..!! Would highly recommend visiting here if you visit Kirkwall

First time try here as we had tried other fish shops and they weren't too great....happily third time lucky! Fish was great, very good portion size and the chips were good too...soft and tasty unlike other shops 😊 Finally, a chippie we are happy to return to! Take away or you can sit in to eat.

No frills chip shop..Best pattie supper you will find.

I have been going to Harbour Fry for nearly nine years. I always enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the brilliant service. Consistently good food.

Excellent food Excellent service Decent price Quick turnaround time So good, we came back on the final night of the trip

Batter beef burger chips Burger - was still pinkish after being deep fat fried not pleasant to see or eat. Chips - frozen chips cooked as you can taste the freezer burnt ones

Great food and large helpings. Great selection and great price.

Typischer fish & chips Laden, große Portionen, schnelle, zügige u. freundliche Bedienung

Fantastic food and friendly staff! A wonderfulplace for great food! Sells fish. And chips. Which seems to be a winning combination. Not if you don't like fish though. Or chips.

Clearly very popular. Excellent range of gluten-free options. Crisp fish and chips, with the option of eating in (if you arrive at the right time to get a table!)

Thank you for cooking my tea, It was absolutely delicious. I had the Gluten Free Fish & Chips with a Pattie and cleaned the box oot 😋 Himself indoors had the usual batter on his fish & chips & also devoured the lot 😁

Excellent value and good quality, plenty of choice and freshly cooked. Thoroughly enjoyed a couple of meals here during our stay

It's incredibly cheap and good fried food

EXELLENT BATTER Soft but crispy chips no annoying hard ones like the other chippie in town. fish flaky chunky and good portions mushy peas and curry sauce brilliant the bread rolls to die for and try the orkney pattie its like a corn beef hash brown you must try it mention trip advisor. good price happy staff and what more would you want ideal for shoppers and people from the cruise terminal.

Service was great. Prices very reasonable. Food was okay. Ordered the fish and chips. Portion size for fish was excellent but overall just bland. Nothing much different than other fish and chips.

Fresh and tasty haddock with chips. Quite busy place so appreciated by many.

Très bon fish and chips. Personnel très accueillant. Situé dans la vieille ville de kirkwall non loin du port. Halte parfaite pour un repas rapide et pas cher❤️

Best Fish and chips. I love the patties. Only wish they were open longer.

Extremely fresh and tasted very good!

Sehr lecker und sehr nett, aber sehr klein. Auch nicht ganz "so" preiswert aber eine tolle Atmosphäre.

Food excellent here and lovely staff. Also dog friendly and they were given a sausage by one of the friendly staff. Would highly recommend

There are two girls behind the counter they just stand there and chat no manners or customer service after 10 minutes of no service I walk out I would recommend that you avoid this place because they will not serve you

A food range of freshly prepared foods. The fish supper was huge!

I wouldn’t go anywhere else, superb food and quick service. Just can’t beat it. Nice to know I could sit in too!

Brilliant Haddock and chips and mince patties

Got the crab sticks, haddock and mince pies. All good! Love the pies! The ladies behind the counter were super sweet too.

Orkney is a special place and our holiday was enhanced by excellent gluten free fish and chips from the Harbour Fry. They have a dedicated separate fryer and are very aware of the need to avoid cross contamination, very safe for those with Coeliac disease. Andy

Friendly service with a good range on the menu. Very good.size portions and a good price. There's a choice of eating in or taking out. We enjoyed ours by the harbour looking at the different boats.

Locale principalmente usato dai locali per asporto, non ha molti tavoli ma non si aspetta molto. Mangiato discretamente, prezzi nella media.

Perfekt, sehr leckere Fish and Chips. Gut gelaunte , freundliche Mitarbeiter

When in Kirkwall you must try a 'Pattie Supper' - mince & potatoes mashed with spices and deep fat fried, served with chips. Not found anywhere else in Scotland

What a great wee chippy. The fish and chips were delicious and the staff wonderful. Not only is it dog friendly but our two wee dogs got the most wonderful greeting from two of the young ladies. A truly wonderful experience.

Great gluten free fish n chips!!
