Had a brilliant fish supper from this chippy. Succulent fish with nice batter and not 1 bone in either piece. The chips were fluffy and tasty and made for a perfect supper. Not everyone's choice but I love curry sauce on my fish supper and the curry here is really good.

We thought we'd try Obans award winning fish and chip shop (sorry for the tomato ketchup) Unfortunately we could not recommend, scallops overcooked, chips super greasy, cod was nice though. Glad we took the dog as the sausages we not pleasant.

We decided to visit one of the top-rated fish and chips shops, based on all the glowing reviews and awards featured on their website, during our little vacation in the area. After driving 20 miles, we were disappointed to find it was a waste of money. The piece of fish was tiny with the smallest cut and heavily battered, and it came and greasy due to the thick batter. Chips were ok just your normal chips shop chips. I don’t mind paying premium prices for high-quality food, but this was far from it.

This has got to be THE best chippie I have come across in Scotland. When staying in Oban for 4 nights, myself and hubby were looking for a quick bite to eat, we came across this fantastic chippie by chance. We both had regular fish suppers on our first visit. Fresh fish, nice light crispy batter and the portion of chips that came with the supper was big enough to feed two people. Chips were tasty especially dipped in their own made tartare sauce. Our second visit was macaroni and cheese with chips. Oh my actual god, this is the best Mac n cheese (apart from my hubby’s ) I have tasted from a fast food shop. I can’t big this chippie up enough. If you’re partial to even a wee poke o’ chips, get yourself to this chippie - it is the business ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The veggie haggis is disgusting wet mush in a tray, I have never seen it severed like that in a chippy it was not nice, so wet and mushy, looked nothing like veggie haggis either, i usually love veggie haggis but i couldnt eat this. He had fish and chips, with curry sauce and a sausage, he enjoyed his, my chips were OK. The onion rings were disappointing. I'm local and wont be back.

It's gone down in my opinion, previously had a great fish supper from here, but recently had obviously reheated chips and scrapings also the fish batter was chewy rather than crispy. I find it bizarre that you can't order a takeaway tea with your fish and chips when they serve tea in the sit in cafe.

Utter rubbish for premium prices, chips weren’t cooked properly but more Importantly the cod would have been the cheapest they bought. It wasn’t even white, it was brown and the batter was soggy. Save your money, oh and the must peas looked so bad that I daren’t go near them!

Without question, Oban's No 1 fish and chip shop & restaurant. There are 3 chip shops to choose from and this one's the furthest walk from the harbour , but it's definitely the one to sample. There is a small restaurant at the back and whether it's eat in or take away, you'll enjoy a real local feast. The chips and other fried foods (Cod, Haddock, Chicken and Haggis etc) are always freshly fried and not held in a warm counter for long periods of time. Service is ok too, although you will probably have to wait for 15 minutes at busy times (because it's all fried to order). Fridays are the crazy shift because traditionally, people in the UK would eat fish (a passover from more religious times). The queues may go out the door and along the street, but don't be tempted from walking to the next shop as you'll be missing out on the Best 'chippy' or as we say ' fish-supper'

Well worth a visit and if you don't have time to sit in you can get the same food to take away.

Main point to take from my visit here was disappointing! I watched the food come out the fryers fresh, but when opening containers no more than 5 minutes later, discovered the fish was overcooked/dry, yet the batter was very soggy and flavourless, and chips were incredibly greasy and sticking to the box. Expected better. Also to add...very almost £20 for a fish supper of this poor quality is FAR too expensive.

It has “3rd best fish & chips in Scotland” on the window. All I can say is it was average, we got the fish & chips tea which included fish, chips, mushy peas, bread & butter and a cup of tea, we ate it because we’d just arrived from Glasgow but it wasn’t the best. Service was quick & friendly but asking for a 5-20% tip was a joke, it’s not the U.S! I have never been asked to tip anywhere in the UK let alone a fast food place and they wanted the tip on top of the £17.50 per person 🤦🏻♀️

Excellent fish and chips! We took the hake and sole as these were local products, unlike the cod and haddock that come from Norway. The shop has a website so you can already check online what you want to eat. Very reasonable prices and if you choose the takeaway option it is quite cheap actually. Downside: we decided to dine-in and the two people who looked after us did not know what “smiling” meant. Service needs to be improved.

How this place can use the words 'Rick Stein' is beyond me. Had take away from here last and they were inedible. Served by a young lad who spent more time on his food (no hygiene standards here), who has obviously never been taught customer service or even how to speak properly to customers, we got the greasiest undercooked overpriced fish and chips we've ever had. The curry sauce and gravy had the consistency of diarroeah and curry powder and the copius amounts of watered down vinegar didn't even make it edible! Please don't sit on the back of a review from over 10 years ago. I'm sure Rick Stein wouldn't be impressed being associated with such an awful place.

Let me start by saying that for what it is famous for, i.e. fish and chips, it is good. If you are looking for something that is not fried it is quite difficult also because it is not always specified whether the dish is breaded or not so it is better to ask. The salt and pepper calamari is fried and heavy.

This place earns the best chippy reviews in this part of the West Coast for all the right reasons: superbly fresh cod prepared perfectly prepared by friendly and fast staff.

The best fish and chips we’ve ever had! I took my family and dog here for lunch, and left full and very happy. Top quality fish, light and crispy batter on the perfectly cooked haddock, good house made tartar sauce and mushy peas, and crispy chips with no grease at all. My wife and I had the Fish Tea, thick haddock, chips, mushy peas, tartar sauce, bread, lurpak butter, and pot of tea for £17.50 each. A good price for the level of quality. My 6 year old had the kids meal large sausage, chips, drink and ice lolly for £7.50. Again the sausage was good quality, he loved it and devoured the lot (apart from a few chips - big portion for a 6 year old). It’s so good to see a chippy turning out this kind of quality for a reasonable price (especially when you look at alternative restaurants). If you’re stopping in Oban you won’t be disappointed.

Be careful that the seated price is different from the "take away" price, even if you are going to eat the same thing. We took a classic fish & chip to the dock and ate it while the seagulls watched. The food is very good, and the tartar sauce is amazing (and I don't usually like them), but the service was a little rough and bland.
