Seaway Chip Shop in Angus

It's the best chip shop in Angus. Delicious fish, great service and friendly staff.

Everything cooked fresh and the fish and chips were very good. Nice quick service and would recomend

Possibly worst chippy I’ve ever had, got a sausage supper and the Sausage tasted like it had been cooked about 2 days before and left on the hot plate. Solid as a rock. Now need dentist appointment. Won’t be back

Friendly polite staff along with good food

Since this chippy has changed hands a few years ago....the quality of the food has went downhill.

Everything cooked to order and very fresh. Lovely, crisp, thin batter on the fish. Kids said sausages were the best they had tasted. Prices are what you'd expect in 2024 - not extortionate at all, a business has to make money!

My husband brought in a fish supper last night. Said I didn’t want anything but I’ll not make that mistake again! Fish was so fresh and batter nice and light and crispy. Chips were just as I like them, not too brown and just delicious with plenty salt and vinegar. Yum.

Just changed the rating from 5 stars down to 3 stars. Don't know if it's new owners, new suppliers or both but the quality and pricing isn't good at all these days. We always travelled from Carnoustie as Seaway was the best chippy but it's really gone downhill with their quality and pricing. Won't go back now after using it for years.

portion sizes smallest ever witnessed anywhere and no exaggeration. Go to a different chippie is my honest advice - absolute disgrace with portion sizes all round. not acceptable and customers dropping all the time as word spreads, total con artists

Have worked in my brothers popular chip shop for 27 years, family/friends all up at Monifieth caravan park on short break . My brother ordered 4 fish suppers, fritters and 6 bags of chips, got back to our caravan dumbstruck as we opened up newspaper wrapped bundle of suppers/chips . All 4 tiny fish weighed roughly 206 grams and chip portions weighed roughly 96 grams. The weights perhaps do not mean much to readers of this review but I confirm most chip shops serve fish which weigh on average 313 grams and chip portions are on average 259 grams. I know this from weighing fish supper and chip portion weights over the years (strange habit but probably as result of working in chip shop business for many years). If you compare the fish weight and chip portion weights served at Seaway you will understand why I was still hungry after my meal (avoid and go elsewhere). My family will certainly never go to Seaway again if back up Monifieth on holiday. Oh before I forget also could not believe fish suppers were around £10 which is shockingly high.

Ridiculously small portion sizes of chips and suppers also have very small portion sizes of chips and fish is now the size you would expect to get if ordered a small child's meal from somewhere that sold them (very small). Very very expensive now for all you get, cannot believe the difference in the way this chip shop is run compared to year or two ago when the twins owned it.

Can’t find anything bad to say about this chippy, speaking as a retired chip shop owner, I can safely say that the fish and chips are probably the best tasting fish and excellent value for money. We will definitely be back when visiting Monifieth campsites.

Food always good friendly staff

Not sure what's going on with this place but there's more batter than fish these days. My fish was encased in a glove of solid (crunchy batter) just not enought fish. Fritter appeared to have been double fried. Tiny bit of tatty inside. I hope this place can improve x

Best fish and chips. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Better customer service at bell street. Was wanting a few greasy chips in my mouth but cannae get that experience. That’s what I get for cheating on my local chippy.

Just so good. No chippy can beat this one. X

Always very good and helpful and trying to please everyone

Best chip shop around. Lovely staff, especially the lady who has been there forever!! Definitely 5 stars!! Phone in order then pick up, always freshly cooked.

Terrible. First time and will never go back. Fish, overcooked and the batter burnt. Fritters, didn't find any potato, or if here was any it must have been cut with a razor, just burnt batter and half my order was missing although I was charged for it. Just don't waste your money going there

We travel up from Fife to visit and have never been disappointed in the food or service. Phoned ahead to save time waiting and the fish and white pudding supper were top notch !

Just the best fish and chips ever, staff are fantastic, chicken in batter is a speciality worth travelling for, don't forget to try the fritters.

Firstly Half an overcooked smoked sausage with 4/5 burned fritters £6:00 . Two Very Small Battered sausages with some chips £6:70 Very poor value for money and quality. 2 x fish suppers £9:70 each reasonable quality but poor value for money. Not sure what has happened this place used to be exceptional for both quality and value for money. NOT ANY MORE SADLY.

Oh dear oh dear.What's happened to this chip shop. Just had take away and what a rip off. 4 burned fritters and an over cooked 1/2 smoked sausage £6:00 , Two small Sausages and a small amount of chips £6:70 On a positive note 2 Fish Suppers which were very nice but £9:70 each . Doubt I will return. Used to be such good food and value for money.

Great place. But in line with everywhere else. It's getting too expensive to go regularly.

Easily the best fish & chip shop in Tayside. The staff and owners are so friendly and eager to please. Have noticed over the years that I've been using them that there constantly improving by adding various food to their menu. Get yourself a fish supper with mushy peas, i promise you'll thank ne later as they are top notch.

Nice & friendly , good food & reasonably priced . Would have been 5 stars but ordered Fritter on a Roll . Noticed Fritters were 60p each & Fritter Roll £1.50 , so thought you must get 2 fritters . Shocked when I got home (quite far away) to discover only 1 Fritter. Dearest Roll I have ever ate at 90p !!! Rest of families order was good .

Excellent chippy great food and prices are fair

Amazing service as always, only complaint has to be the batter has dropped in quality a bit and is a lot firmer than what it used to be. The fritters are rock solid.

Awesome. Used to always go here with my folks as a kid. It's been far too long since I've been in and the fish n chips were as good as I remember. Staff are always friendly and everything is made super fresh.

A good one:) delicious fish and chips. Fresh done for order. Only one thing I missed there, homemade tartar sauce.

Just had Haddock and chips they were absolutely delicious couldn't fault them one bit !! We are from YORKSHIRE we know our Hadock and Chips Highley recommend ..

Please note this review is an old review and the twins have now sold the establishment on and sadly i would no longer be able to offer five stars. Maybe two. Best fish n chips in the whole of Tayside. Can't beat them we travel 15 miles to get there because it is worth it.

EXCELLENT - from phone ordering and collection 5 stars - Fish Supper and White Pudding and Chips perfectly cooked. Great team and well worth a visit you won't be disappointed.

All food was handled by hand no tongs or gloves used when serving food

Travel all the way from kirkton Dundee for this chipper. Absolutely amazing fish and chips.

You still have a review saying the food was disgusting but this was in 2018, I have been a few times recently , the fish and chips etc are cooked to order and are excellent both for taste and value for money. I would ask the person who wrote this review to give it another try.

Not up to normal standard. I am sure they will do better next time. Service however was as usual 1st class.

Absolutely incredible fish and chips, couldn't ask for better.

El mejor fish and chips que hemos probado hasta el momento. Hemos pedido un haddock (abadejo) con patatas y aros de cebolla. Con esto hemos comido dos personas y hemos tenido suficiente. Nos ha costado unos £10. ¡Buenísimo! El rebozado muy crujiente. Un viernes por la tarde y estaba repleto de gente local haciendo cola. Hay que hacer el pedido dentro y esperar a fuera, en 3-5 min ya tienen preparado para que te lo lleves. El chico que coge las comandas y la señora que cobra eran muy amables. Buen ambiente.

Very dissappointing! I haven't been there for months and fancied a steak pie supper. All I can say is the pie was brick hard and very dry. The chips weren't good either. The young boy asked me if I wanted salt and vinegar to which I said yes please. Could not taste any salt OR vinegar. Steak pies (the oval ones) used to be really good from there. Think it will be a while before I'm back.

Great fish supper! Scampi was crispy not crusty! The chips were piping hot and the haddock was good sieze and the batter crispy not soggy.

Very pleasant staff giving a great service. Summer 2022-someone maliciously moving place marker on map. Shop is situated next to Farmfoods store.

Had a number of horrible visits from chip shops in 'the Ferry' ventured to the Seaway in Monifieth. Welcomed by two pleasant young lads who were very polite, surprised by the price as it came in £20+ cheaper than Broughty Ferry. Had a good look and the place was immaculate will definitely be back! Thanks lads you are a credit 🙂 really enjoyed our meal

Our favourite fish and chip shop.

This Fish and chip shop was always on my top of my list when I visited Monifieth. What a shock I got when I returned last week. The attitude was appalling to say the least I got haggis and a fish supper for £11. 10p the portion size of chips was ridiculous I noticed the previous customer had a reasonable portion size, so I complained to the lady who was serving me. She snapped back and said if you are not happy I will give you your money back, well we had waited a wee while on the order and was starving so I accepted them. When we got back to eat them the fish batter was soggy and welded to the paper the chips were dry and tasteless the fish was ok and the haggis was very dry. you could put as much vinegar & sauce as you like it would not make any difference..I will certainly be giving this place a BIG MISS !!! in future.

The go-to place for fish and chips for years. Consistently good and standards maintained after ownership change. Biggest bonus is Margaret is still there serving!!

Always enjoy my fish and chips from the seaway chipper👍.

What an absolute fantastic chippy, we ordered 2 fish suppers and the food was cooked to order so when we got our food it was freshly made and very hot. Fish was excellent and lovely crispy batter, chips were also very nice golden and fluffy. Would highly recommend 10/10

Well worth the wait for quality freshly cooked food when in the area. Sometimes we phone ahead with our order which saves waiting. Love the fish and chips and white puddings.

Well, if one small piece of overcooked fish that has the burnt batter falling off constitutes a large fish supper, then what do you get if you order a small one? Was also annoyed to find that no salt and vinegar had been added, despite asking for this when placing the order.

Friendly quick service and the best white pudding supper around

The new owners have made this good chip shop into an ordinary and particularly slow one. Whereas before service was fast as food was always ready, everything is cooked to order, and very slowly: 35 minute wait this week. Previously food was pre-cooked and service fast, no lingering and waiting. Instead of following the twins model, the new owners have adopted a cook to order policy - its a chip shop, not a Michelin star restaurant! The owners fail to realise that part of the popularity of the Seaway was high quality and quick service and no waiting; that popularity ensured that there was a high turn over of food and thus mostly freshly cooked. Please go back to being a good chippy rather than the sad mess it has become. Great however if you like waiting and milling around a dank and grubby corner of Monifieth waiting for something average. A classic example of ruining something that was good - have the courage to change back to what your customers previously enjoyed, and that made the Seaway so popular.

This chippy is always busy. Mask on, go in, place your order , you’ll be given a number, wait outside and then pop in to collect your order when your number’s called. A small fish and chips is plenty for me but my husband enjoys the normal size portion. Friendly efficient staff .

Lovely takeaway meals, menu choices are great.

Great place for a fish supper, you must try their onion rings.

Fantastic food as always best chippy in Angus

Just sampled fish supper what can I say their was more batter than fish we must be spoiled in fife with portion size two large fish and double chips and£1:30 cheaper won't be back😞😞😞

Excellent service and quality .

Worst end to a perfect day. Ordered white pudding supper, king rib supper, single smoked sausage, salt and vinegar on everything but the smoke sausage, brown sauce on white pudding supper. Now home to caravan, holidays, no salut and vinegar on anything, brown sauce on everything, white pudding chewy, king rib like none other tasted before. 13.70 and in the bin, thanks

The customer service was awful, 1 person rushing about trying to cook, serve and take orders at the same time. Shocking

Ate from here last night and after reading the reviews was disappointed my dressed fish was undecooked and tasteless the batter was googhy not very pleasant Had high hopes but unfortunately it didn't happen the chips were good and so were the fritters. They usually say a busy chippy is a good chippy this one was just average

This used to be superb but has consistently gone downhill since it changed ownership a few years ago. The last straw was when I was given the wrong food and not offered replacement or a refund. I was a regular customer (weekly) but now just occasionally (twice a year) return to see if it has got any better.

Had excellent Fish and Chips last night. Service was quick and friendly and all in all great! Will be back 🙂

This was a childhood favourite of my other half so we always visit when back in the area. Sausage and chips were tasty and well cooked. Service was decent and organised.

So so sad to have a young man inform me Margaret "was off as she gets a bit moany so we gave her a day off" hmmm so ordered my sausage supper waited which was fine as good to get fresh chips. As I waited others started to order and the young man was very excited upon a large order being placed by another customer (yes I know it's a business but my fiver is hard earned too) then teenager's appeared ordering away. I asked politely when my supper would be ready and was told again waiting on chips but then they started dishing up the customer's who had ordered after me. I asked for my money back. The young man did apologise and offered me the supper for free. I don't think so.. I'll get a sandwich from tesco. Won't get a penny of my hard heard money again. That young man could do with a lesson in loyalty. You should be ashamed of yourself

When this chip shop changed ownership we were sad to see the brothers go but on trying it out under its new owners we were delighted with the quality of the food. Unfortunately the standards have not been kept up.Tonight my fish supper had the smallest piece of fish I have had in a long time and the chips accompanying it were what could only be described as crumbs. If I had not been so hungry it would have gone back.Please, when taking on a new place, keep the standards the same. Very, very disappointing.

Having moved away from the Monifieth area some time ago, I have been getting fish and chips locally. However I was in Monifieth tonight and decided to get my fish supper from Seaway for old times sake. Despite having a longer journey home, my food was far better than I get round here. The taste and texture of the fish was different class, and the chips were better too. The new owners have certainly upheld or even surpassed the previous standards. It is once again my favourite chipper! Still the same great friendly service, thanks Margaret et al.

We used to go here every time for fish and chips but after today we will not return. This is our first visit since new owners and the chips were clearly reheated friom yesterday ( we went just after they opened) and the fish was 80% batter. So disappointed. Guess we will need to go a little further for decent fish and chips now.

Was the worst ever Rubbery fish and overcooked chips Really disappointed What else can I say. I won’t be rushing back

Arrived about 5:45 tonight hardly any wait in the que braw tea thank you so much staff always cheery and friendly especially the woman who mans the till

Trip up from Edinburgh the staff are amazing and super friendly the price and portion sizes in my opinion are very fair. Doing a great job guys! Plus! They wrap your food in newspaper..... amazing! Loved that touch.

For many years now my family have use The Seaway. Was sad when the last owners retired, but still enjoy a fish supper on a Friday or Saturday night

My mum always liked this chippy, but I never did but still I always went for her because she liked it and it was just up the road! So I paid my £14quid for two fish supper's expecting the same but wow I never hardly spoke as I scoffed my supper! Was so good! I don't think previous owners seasoned the fish and the batter was always tasteless, crunchy but no flavour.. But yes!! It's so much better and will be my go to place if I can't be bothered to drive to Peppo's Arbroath! They must have got tips? Fish was fantastic!!

Writing this after having our last fish and chips from the present owners before they retire. Over the years we have never been disappointed with our take away. Tonight was testament to how popular this chip shop is as the queue was outside the shop. We look forward to the new owners carrying on the same high standards and the retirees having a well earned rest.

Our Church Guild hosted a Fish Supper Night recently. I placed an order for 30 meals the night beforehand and paid upfront requesting delivery about 8.15. On the night I had to add another meal to the order. No problem. All meals were delivered right on time (no extra charge), hot, fresh and lovely with dry and crispy batter and chips - not soggy and greasy like some fish and chips. We even got a freebie of pickled onions ! A lovely touch and much appreciated. The service was absolutely superb and when I first asked if this was possible, it was no problem whatsoever. Everyone enjoyed their suppers and a definite again for next year !

The chippie has been a staple for our 20 years in Monifieth (it has been there longer than us).Friendly staff, quality ingredients - and massive fritters!Open every day of the week, and usually can get parked right outside, unless it is a Friday evening - then busy and queued out the door - but still efficient service.

Great fish and chips freshly cooked, great menu. Good parking. Customer service good too. Open 7 nights a week

Great local chippie. Been a regular for years, just never gotten round to reviewing. Batter is always nice and crispy and whatever I’ve ordered has been tasty, whats not to like? and it is triple wrapped with grease proof paper, brown paper and news paper ( not a cardboard or plastic carton in sight )

Friendly service and in my view the best Fish and Chips in the county of Angus. This is a takeaway. What more can you say. I travel 4 miles to this takeaway because it beat s all the local ones.

Popped in for a quick carry out Fish and chips. Quality of fish superb and tasty. Staff great service with a smile on there faces...Just my sort of 'Plaice'.

Best chipper in the area! Always great food and fantastic customer service! I would definitely recommend!

Very good fries - from the chips to the chicken, from the fritters to the fish, and everything else they have to offer. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced considering the amount you get. Have been loads of times and will keep going back

Went to the seaway today for 6 fish suppers and a white pudding supper as the family had been celebrating our grandsons birthday and we couldn't be bothered cooking tea. Despite the large order, I didn't have to wait at all. Service was excellent and they still wrap in newspaper ( big bonus points)! The suppers were fantastic and we can all recommend this chippy.

Living in Monifieth for 20 years now this is our local chip shop. We are regular customers and would highly recommend it. My favourite is a fish supper!!

The fact that I was recommended this chippy by two different people in the space of twenty minutes says it all. The portions are not massive and the prices aren’t the cheapest but I think they may be the best fish and chips I’ve ever tasted. The fish was cooked perfectly and the batter was lovely and the chips were superb. I’ve had a lot of fish and chips in my time and I’m not sure these will be beaten!

New to the village and we were recommended to try the Seaway by locals in the Vault Pub, we went through at 9pm and were served by a very smiley lady called Margaret who quickly made friends with us, asked if we were visiting as she had never seen us before, we chatted about moving from down South and were made to feel like real regulars, thank you for making us feel so welcome, we had 2 fish suppers that we took next door to eat in the pub, Margaret offered us napkins and told us to tell the bar maid to have a gin and tonic waiting next door for when she finished at 11, which we did and were happy to hear from the bar staff that "she will definitely come through" she did and we loved our chat and food. we will be back, AGAIN AND AGAIN!!

Visit this chip shop often, the food is lovely and you always get a warm welcome from Margaret who has worked with the twins from the beginning, ask her anything about you or your family she will know the answer. I have tried a lot of the choices but my favorite by far is a white pudding supper and a portion of curry sauce. the twins are nice guys and you always feel welcomed. well done guys and girls, keep doing what you are doing and i'm sure people will keep coming back.

This is not a restaurant but a take away. The service and staff are very nice. There is not much more i can say as it is a fish and chips shop.

Lovely crispy batter on fish and delicious chips. Will definitely visit here again when we go back to Monifieth in caravan.

A great chippy, friendly staff, very clean and lots of choice. I know most people go to a chippy for fish but the chicken suppers here are my favorite. fresh cooked on the day, not the usual pre cooked dried up number, they usually sell out by early evening and not only on tuesdays. The best chicken supper I have ever eaten.

Good food freshly made. Fantastic fish in a lovely crispy batter. Pensioner portions available. A large and varied menu along with soft drinks. Well worth a visit.

Have used this place for the last 15 years.The business is family owned and its not changed hands the same owner with the staff who are super friendly and polite

This place needs some competition. I was violently sick after my fish supper as was my partner who had a king rib. We were served so quick. Everything was ready and in fairness looked like it had been there a long time. Have noticed before that nothing is cooked to order which is slightly concerning. Arbroath just 10 miles away and everything fresh. Will never ever go back to this place. Still feel sick!!!

Living in Monifieth we find this Fish Shop by far the best in our post Code. The fish always tastes amazing and is cooked piping hot. Best enjoyed after a few wee drams in our local pub The Crown Braw Aye 😜

Been going to the Seaway for the last 30 years. Brilliant staff & great, tasty food. Always tastes fresh and not greasy like other shops.

Always guaranteed excellent Fish n Chips or any other supper. The twins have been part of Monifieth for such a long time now and they are well regarded. The food is always good and we travel 15 miles to Monifieth rather than using a local Chipper.

Was starving last night after the football and went in and got myself a cheeky wee black pudding supper and four pickles!

Third time eating here and has not disappointed yet. Haddock always delicious, amazing crispy batter and yummy chips, great!!

Disfrutamos de una muy buena cena de pescado cuando se aloje en el sitio caravana Riverview. La comida estaba recién preparado y servido por el eficiente, personal agradable. Ideal para nosotros ya que nos quedamos en las inmediaciones zona de caravanas y acababa de regresar...
