Silvery Tay in Fife

The best fish and chips I’ve had in years, and my friends agreed. Everything made fresh to order so you can wait a while to get your food, but the wait is definitely worth it. Nice touch that you get offered a wedge of lemon with the fish supper, and the homemade tartare sauce is AMAZING! If you’re lucky with the weather you can pop across the road to the braes and eat your food on the banks of the Tay (maybe even catch a famous Tay sunset if you time it right!) Highly recommended.

A proper Fish and Chip shop! Busy on a Monday night is a good sign that others agree. Good fresh chunky haddock(s) cooked in light and crispy golden batter is the food of the gods.

We had fish and chips and scampi and was some of the best we've ever had. Ordered some of the homemade tartare sauce and it was DELICIOUS. thank you very much for a brilliant dinner :)

Popped in, in the passing, lovely hand cut chips cooked to golden brown perfection. Will be back to try a full meal soon 😋

Went here last night as we were running late and didn’t have time to make anything. Being from Perth we haven’t been here before so popped in. The place was lovely and clean and the 2 young ladies behind the counter were very nice. I ordered a haggis supper and a smoked sausage supper. I was delighted to see the smoked sausage microwaved instead of deep fried. We went out the back to eat in the car. I had 2 portions of haggis and a tonne of chips. Same with the sausage supper. I couldn’t manage it all but did notice they do smaller portions. That will be for my next visit. The food was delicious and I would definitely return.

Terrible! Stood in queue for ages took order then forgot about us. Fryer moody and rude, spoke to staff terrible. Food rank

Thanks to Bene and his team at the Fifie who processsed my pre-booked order earlier than expected due to my mistake. Really appreciated it. Great service! Delicious food! Thanks so much

We have been very regular customers for years. For much of this time the food was consistently good, although portion sizes were often variable. In the last year or so the quality of the fish on offer has diminished, both in terms of size and taste. For us, the most recent order of fish and chips on 4 May 2023 ranks as the worst fish and chips we've ever had. The batter was burnt, the fish miniscule, tasteless and stuck to the batter. Unfortunately, based on the progressive decline in quality, and this most recent offering, we have decided we won't be returning. We're disappointed as we like to support local businesses.

Staying in the area for an overnight. It was such a lovely sunny day that after a few drinks we thought we’ll have fish&chips out in the sun. I had actually done a bit of research and new about this place but it totally exceed expectations. Made fresh, good portion size with both the fish and chips cooked to perfection. The batter was so light but with a lovely crisp finish and that slightly wet underside. And you’ve got to get the homemade tartare sauce - yum! Superb!

Been here a few times, both ordering online and also just turning up, both worked well. Food was good, well prepared. Options for small portions if desired. Not the cheapest of chippies, but worth a visit.

With so much call on our money, we are looking for decent value in a takeaway but sadly the last offering included smaller than small fish. The breaded fish was dry and the pizza was battered though this was not ordered. Looking for a very fresh juicy white fish..didn't get it on this occasion.

This is hands down the best chippie we have ever visited. Variety, taste, not too greasy…all around great! We tried the fish, the haggis, and the mince pie…I only wish we were visiting the area longer so we could eat here a third time! Oh, and the people are friendly and the online ordering with their app is easy!

ny far the best chippy, hamish always has the food on point. only ever had 1 problem with our order but it was someone else who was on the fryer. out fish didnt seem crispy and the chips were underdone. apart from that 1 incident cant fault it.

Had lovely chippy tea last night on way home from St. Andrews. First time visit and quick to order and value for money will visit again. Right up there for quality service and taste, same quality and standard as North Street in Forfar in my home Town ! Well done guys

When our daughters come up from England to visit, it is a tradition that the first night's tea has to be a fish/sausage/haggis supper from the Fifie! The food is always just as we want it and we must thank Hamish and his team for a superb meal.

Lovely haddock, beautifully cooked. Great chips, crisp, not greasy. Very well organised during Covid restrictions. Very good value for the money.

I've been to The Fifie about a half dozen times, they are very quick and the food has always been great. Much better than any of the chippies in Dundee City.

We were passing through Newport. Good swift service Fishcake roll and chips Very tssty but at over six pounds a bit expensive!!

Two fish and chiips, quick service, great food, fresh and tasty. Picnic tables overlooking the Tay a short distance away. Parking nearby. Price normal. Big portions.

aboutsley disguisted, 2 sausage suppers contained 2 small sausages and about 10 chips chips were undercooked and when you cut into the sausages the grease ran out i used to go here reguarly before the covid19 lockdown, but will NEVER go back the suppers came in single portion boxes!!!! THE OWNER SEEMS TO BE OUT TO TRY TO RIP PEOPLE OFF the usual manager was not on and if the owner keeps trying to maniuplate the paying customer he wont have a chip shop to manage

The Silvery Tay is a part of Newport life that we always look forward to experiencing whenever we return to Newport-on-Tay. The portions are ample, the fish is always tender and the peas are deliciously mushy! We especially relish the 'suppers' Hamish serves. Highly recommended. NB It's a takeaway, not a sit-down place, but still worthwhile.

We always make the trip to the Silvery Tay when we are in Scotland. It's our first choice for fish & chips. Never had a bad meal a d it's just a short drive.

Delicious as always, I have only been here 5/6 times but it has always been the perfect fish, I sit and eat it looking over the water to Dundee and it is so relaxing, definitely recommended.

By far the best fish & chip shop around, people rate anstruther but obviously the have not been here far superior.

Best chippy for miles excellent food and good servings. If you are in the area well worth a visit but do not be surprised if you have to queue it gets busy

thanks to taxi Dave for picking me up to collect my takeaway really enjoyed fish and chip supper still hot when I got back to cottage see you again!

We ate here the other night and it was fantastic! Best white pudding supper anywhere and The Chips - Oh my - the KING of chips - hot, crisp, tasty, perfect!Hamish also does a once a month GF fry - perfect for my wife and granddaughter. Been buying from the Silvery Tay for over 20 years a- first of all in Dundee, and never ever been let down!

We ordered meals for 5 adults. Disappointing this time. Fish were small and a bit dried up and the batter was awful. It's too expensive for that. We bummed it up too but all were disappointed. Unusual for the Silvery Tay.

Fantastic service from hamish every time. Even with larger orders he remembers the whole thing! Will definately be back.

this was about the fifth time i’ve been in this chippy and i can’t speak highly enough of the place! best chippy i’ve been to! no doubt about it! shop is spotless! service was fine! had a wee wait as foods cooked to order! the wee guy behind the counter knows what he’s doing! everything was cooked to perfection! wouldn’t mind moving to newport-on-tay tbh lol just for the record i’ve only been in at opening time as soon as the doors open!!!! i’ve gotten fed up of all the well known chippys with certificates over the walls blowing their own trumpets!!! none of them come close to this one!

Was ok. Nothing outstanding. Food cooked to order as is the norm these days so obviously there us a wait but at least the food is hot. However it also means its a bit greasy as it doesn’t get chance to drain. Chips were ok but personally I prefer mine cooked a bit longer so they have a bit more colour to them. Over all not the best but not the worst. Will probably visit again but it wont be soon

Sorry guys but I’m local and strike 3 for you as food is soooo not good unless you like soggy greasy food even though I asked for it all in separate boxes like single fish single white pudding bag of chips still crap. Go to Dundee

Great staff, great atmosphere, great fish and chips! The Icelandic Haddock is the best we have EVER had! Time and time again, they do not disappoint. Our favourite through and through!

This is worth a visit, what else can you say about a fish & chip shop! Excellent service and good varied choice on menu.

Third visit to Silvery Tay and wasn't disappointed. Fish suppers were delicious. Chips are fried perfectly, light golden colour with a good bite and no grease. Fish cooked well in tasty batter with a nice chew on the ends.

Having heard of this chip shop, we were finally treated to fish and chips here. The orders are taken as you queue and specially prepared. The small portion £4.50 is plentiful and my husband struggled with his regular portion. We enjoyed our meal so much we returned later in our holiday. Although the weather was cooler, we were able to eat at a picnic table overlooking the Tay with Dundee across the water. Trains crossing the Tay Bridge.

A brilliant fish supper, served by friendly helpful staff who are always happy to see you. The food is made to order to a short wait but well worth it.

when you order you fish and chips its all cooked fresh , if its the regular fish supper you get 2 4 oz fish and lots of chips, the fish is so fresh and i would recommend a visit here, you will be disapointed.

Never had a bad Dinner from the silvery tay. The staff are always helpful and all the food is cooked fresh so sometimes a bit of a wait but then good things come to those who wait!

Mejor pescado había probado, el personal era simpático y agradable, bien merece una visita incluso la pena viajar. A orillas del río Tay. Tuvimos nuestra comida sentado en la orilla mirando el puente Tay.

El plateado Tay es uno de los pocos lugares en que en realidad comprar pescado y patatas fritas. El pescado es realmente fresco y encantador que te dan los filetes gruesos, perfectamente preparado (más que difícil y duro). Tanto empanadas y pescado fresco y luz...

Si estás buscando una buena cena de pescado frito o cualquier otra cena de calidad tendrás dificultad para superar la Sivery Tay en Newport en Tay. Una vez al mes nos dimos el lujo de una cena de pescado y la calidad siempre es excelente. No se desanime si hay una cola larga es bueno, nunca tuvimos que hacer cola durante más de diez minutos y creo que me vale la pena esperar.

Often take my mum here on a Tuesday night. Sometimes there is a very long queue, but, always worth the wait. Freshly cooked, good food. Particularly like a spicy haggis.

I went along with family for the gluten free event and it was great! The staff knew exactly what they were doing and the food was delicious, will definitely be back for future events.

Visited the Silvery Tay tonight for the first time, very impressed from the moment I entered the shop very helpful staff and everything we ordered was cooked freshly. Can not speak highly enough the fish and chips were terrific will be back again.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Order swiftly taken and cooked fresh. Fish was amazing - they have lots of choice all cooked fresh. Hamish the friendly fryer is just amazing - what a memory - he can remember every order given him.

After having an outing in the bonny kingdom of Fife we stopped off here on the spur of the moment.There was a fair wee queue in the shop but we reckon that's generally a good sign - and we were right.A "standard " fish supper was two generous pieces of succulent, fresh fish in the tastiest batter we've sampled in a long time, and the chips were perfectly done.Next time we're across the bridge around tea-time we'll make the small detour to stop off for a tasty treat.( Be aware it's cash only sales.)

I was in the area this evening as I was visiting family.Popped in here for a mini fish supper for my mother, and I decided to have a single King Rib and a single portion of fishcakes. Have used this fish and chip shop on countless occasions over the years whilst in the area and have never been disappointed with the food.More often than not the place is always busy, which is a good sign in itself.There was a slight wait, which I didn't mind, as everything was cooked fresh.Service was okay, and as usual the food was faultless.Will continue to return.

I moved from nearby Tayport to Anstruther, where they claim to have best fish and chips. It's not true. Thing I miss the most is silver tay. Great quality, great service! Always busy but much worth to wait! Always fresh and cooked in clean oil! Portion sizes are extraordinary!One thing I could say is fact that place is pretty new (I guess) but they still have to remember all order. They should have some till and printer for checks because it looks a little be chaotic when very busy, but they seems to manage very well anyway!

After you have worked out how the queuing system works, which is obvious locals and the owner, but a bit of a mystery to visitors, you are rewarded with some excellent fish & chips and at a fair price.

The standard fish supper option is large by most peoples standards. Fish is cooked to order fresh and full of flavour. Prepare for long queues on a Friday. Great chips and perfect after a long walk.

All the good folks of Newport on Tay know a good thing when they see it and in the SilveryTay they have a takeaway par excellence. At popular times be prepared to queue but it will be worth it. We have two fish suppers which was more than ample portion wise (so great value) and beautifully fried. Stop and enjoy if you are in the area.

Excellent Fish Suppers, succulent black puddings and tasty haggis, drive / walk round the back of the sheltered housing opposite and sit by the river Taylor overlooking Dundee. Wonderful.

I went here with my spouse/sibling after being recommended it by a work colleague, who I had told I was going on a weekend visit to Dundee.My spouse was initially worried about it at first because she doesn't usually like Fish - "Not a fish person" she always used to say. I trusted my friends judgement and we both went here for a Fish Supper.Lucy served us and was fantastic, my girlfriend I pleasantly surprised by how good the meal was and keeps insisting we return.Would eat here again!!! Thank you staff at the Silver Tay!

We discovered the Silvery Tay for ourselves last May. We are back again these few months later, and sure enough it is as good as we thought. We will be here for a few more weeks so today's trip to Newport for chips will not be our only last.The chips were more enjoyable because we drove down to the car park near the Fife side roundbabout off the Tay Road Bridge and enjoyed the view of the river and Dundee. We had the best seat in the house.I recommend it.

The fish suppers here are consistantly good and have been for years. The food is freshly cooked and service is prompt. It's a top fish & chip shop.

Great fish and chips, good selection if you fancy something else and I'm told very good but I can never resist fish, chips and mushy peas! Very clean, great service, nice staff and generally a winner!

Fish cooked to order so you might have to wait a bit but always worth it. Never had a bad fish supper here. I like the small fish suppers with just one piece of fish and slightly less chips - you can eat it without feeling too stuffed

Being accustomed to Fife having some chip shops that are unbeatable in quality. I expect good quality. This stands very high up in quality of Fish & Chips. Staff didn't seem upto very much in terms of "service with a smile" but certainly worked efficiently to get the customers in and out the door. Food was lovely. Didn't notice any bones in the haddock compared to some other places I have tried in the past. Light crispy batter on the fish that was cooked fresh. Chips to fish ratio was adequate to say the least. Especially at a price of around £7+ for a fish supper. Be sure if you're going to charge similar prices to some of the best chip shops in scotland, then be sure to match their overall standards in service & portions etc. Also noticed a random sign that humoured me. Something to the effect of only being able to sell fritters on like 3 days of the week? Umm why? Hilarious. None the less even through being critical on some minor issues this was overall a very good food experience and would return without a doubt. 4/5.

Excellent chip shop. Fish, cooked in demand, is especially good but Haggis suppers hit the spot too.Friendly efficient staff too.Highly recommended.

Cracking wee chippy. Always made fresh, great service. Reasonably priced. Great fish supper. +++++++++

Well, I'll tell you now, that Hamish from The Silvery Tay is bloody lucky he still has his head and teeth intact!!! Firstly, he was extremely rude when we placed a very large order. First thing mum asked for was a battered chicken supper, then started to read from the list, to which Hamish said " give me the list, it will be easier" to which mum replied no, because the list had changed slightly. He said " well, would you remember if I told you that list!!!" Well, mum gave him the list as so shocked at his attitude. Then we got to the counter and the Wee lass had the list and read it out, we noticed that there was no chicken supper there, to which Hamish bashed in and shouted "you didn't ask for one!!!" And then proceeded to argue with us across the counter, said well, we all can't be perfect like yous and remember an order among other abuse!!! I then said we wouldn't be back and other customers stood there in shock at the abuse. Anyway,we get our order and he then tried to apologise in a very patronised manner. "If you don't come back, then that's your prerogative!!!" By that point, I had enough and told him to f off and walked out. Get back and we all start digging in. Mine and Linzi pizza and chips drowning in oil, as was Hayley's dinner, then Liam finds this sticker still on his fish!!!! Disgusting and feeling very ill now. Dinner was binned, but still taste the grease!!! Won't be back!! #thesilverytay

Great fish and chips, best on the East Coast, great staff, friendly atmosphere and if fish is not your thing there's plenty more to choose from and all reasonably priced, the area the shop is in allow plenty of choices for you to sit and eat your food while enjoying views if the River Tay

I have been to the silvery Tay many times over the years and it is always good no matter what is ordered. The food is always better though when the head friar (Hamish) is on, timed to perfection.

No dried-out fish suppers found here, with all orders freshly cooked and served hot! Two good quality pieces of haddock constitute the 'standard' fish supper, accompanied by a commensurate portion of chips.

Very good fish and chips. I enjoy breaded fish and this was excellent here. Freshly cooked to order. Good service.

We are lucky to have one of the best fish and chip shop's close to home. You not only get good quality produce but you also get good value for money.

On our way home from a day out and decided to take a different route. Spotted this chippie and reckoned fish and chips would be ideal for tea. Couldn't have made a better choice. Lovely chips, succulent fish and good sized portions. Delighted.

My wife and I returning from an evening in Dundee had a hunger for chips. We were already on the bridge when we realized our options of finding a chipper open were getting slimBut we wandered into Newport and there on the corner was the Silvery Tay. "Best chips I've ever had," said my wife who had grown up in Dundee. We will be making additional trips to the Sivery Tay next time we're over.

I live just around the corner from this chipper so have used it quite often. Sells high quality, fresh food and is good value too.

Great little chipper, always busy and there is a good reason for that!Obviously the cost of the supper will go up and down depending on the price of fish.

This is my regular chip shop. It is normally quite busy but waiting time ois never unacceptable. The quality of the meals is excellent. The staff are always friendly.

It's our local and favourite. Always freshly cooked and the staff are friendly! Good value too! Would recommend to anyone in the area or those from Dundee who fancy a nice walk near the water. Lovely views while you enjoy your supper!

Always cooked fresh once ordered, wee bit more expensive but worth it for freshly cooked and good quality fish

no 1 in north east fife,food always fresh and tasty,try the specialities there quite unique,staff always happy and smiling,nothings too much for them,shop is spotless, yes no 1 .

Silvery tay must be the best chip shop in Dundee,,abit more expensive than most but you pay for what you get,fish cooked fresh and the batter is amazing,very busy shop so be patient if ordering,,the staff are lovely and chat away whilst you wait for your order,I would highly recommend to everyone

Very nice fish and chips. The place is nice and Clean. Nice people. No problem there . we will be back sometimes.

This is the best chip shop in Scotland by far. The food is served freshly cooked and is worth the short wait. Always a que outside waiting for it to open. Can't say it enough but our whole family enjoy coming here.

Undoubtedly the best fish and chips in the area. I have used this chip shop on several occasions and have never been disappointed. Fish is the best in the area and thier White Puddings are equally as good.Staff are very friendly and prices very competitive.Forget the award winning fish restaurants down the Fife coast. This is the one to beat.

Moved back to the area and decided to try the Silvery Take away .Yes there was a reasonable queue , but when you see your food getting cooked fresh , you kinda don't mind.Service was sharp and the local " banter" good with the customers .The food choice is wide , but did not take a long time to receive your order. Price is slightly on high side but worth it We got the food back and quality and taste very nice . We will be back.

I go a good few miles out of my way to buy my fish suppers at The Silvery Tay. I've never yet been disappointed. Well worth a visit.

Thus is our local fish &Chip shop. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is made to order so depending on how busy they are you may have a wait. However always worth the wait. So when I had my 50th birthday recently I opted for my favourite take away the Silvery Tay

Excellent chip shop. Haddock is good quality and usually cooked to order. They also do good cod when it's on special. Portions are big, and prices reasonable. Chips are pretty fresh and are good as far as chippies go. The shop is always very clean and the staff really seem to know what they're doing.Good enough that I'm quite happy to travel a few miles here when I want fish and chips.

Our usual Friday treat, a tasty fish supper from The Silvery Tay. The normal queue out onto the pavement shows how popular it is with locals and passers by alike. A few minutes wait saw me inside and a friendly welcome from the proprietor asking for my order. It never fails to amaze me how he can take so many orders and in a short space of time and get it right every time. Ten minutes later, with the queue still as long I was on my way home to enjoy a tasty tea.

The Small Breaded Fish supper is tasty for £4.70, but the fish must have been physically battered to a pulp as it was mainly 5 milometers deep! Decent quality, but pitiful fish portion for nearly a fiver!

Wonderful fish, generous portions. Friendly, want to talk about your dog. Handily on the way home from Dundee to Gauldry.

Having been out and about for the day , and having just moved back to the area. We decided to have a " lazy dinner". Yes , you have to wait for your order to be cooked. But what you get is fresh food , hot and tasty.Service was happy and efficient .Well worth a visit , take your time , let someone else cook and enjoy .

Lovely fish and chip shop situated in Newport on Tay in Fife. The shop is on the Main Street on the banks of the River Tay. All food is cooked freshly and the portions are huge. I would go for a small fish supper or share a regular. You always get a friendly welcome.

Always busy, the suppers are delicious. And how Hamish remembers all the orders is beyond me! Well worth a visit.

The best chippy in the area. Freshly made to order and very generous portions. It's no surprise there's always a queue.

Food cooked while you wait, varied menu, best red puddings ever . Cheerful staff,Different fish on specials board. don't miss out this chippie.

Good wholesome fish and chips. Varied menu includes black,red, white,haggis puddings.Special menu and a toy for kids.Food cooked as you wait.

My husband and I have just moved, today, to Wormit which is the little village adjacent to Newport on Tay. We had a couple of friends and their children come over at teatime to look at the new place and decided to christen the kitchen with some fish suppers from The Silvery Tay. Husband was duly sent out for 4 fish suppers. What a treat!...there was so much delicious fishy loveliness that it fed all 4 adults, 2 hungry kids and with some left over for the cats too!Now we are resident in the area, I can't wait for more tasty delights...although my waistline might disagree! :)

Kids would eat from here every night if they could!!! Super fish and chips at reasonable prices - the regular queue down the high street says it all

Lovely fish suppers and a good size to satisfy a big appetite. Very popular chippy. The queue is usually away down the street. Would recommend this chippy.

We have been here a few times coming back from St Andrews. The service is always quick and the fish and chips is always very hot and tastes fresh.

Very busy fish and chip shop. Big menu, including unusual Scottish items such as red pudding and deep fried burgers! All food cooked to order and our haddock suppers were excellent. The "standard" supper included TWO fillets of haddock! Friendly service despite a short wait as it was so busy on Saturday tea time. Ate them on nearby pebbly beach at Wormit bay. Highly recommended.

Not a huge fan of going to a chippy - this one however is just fantastic. You have to visit this place at least once in your life!

Always stop here for a carry out of fish & chips if we are on our way home from a trip, as always the service quick and orders are cooked while you wait. No matter if its fish, pies, pizzas or chipsteaks everything is always pipping hot and served quickly. This shop along with the sister shop in Dundee is always worth a vist if you fancy a great chip shop carry out. To have some fish with a view over the silvery Tay, and great scenery not far from its front door there isn't much more you can ask for.

I ordered take away fish and chips, I find it out very untidy and staff was even handling food with dirty hands without wearing gloves.Entrance was smells and decor was not pleasant.
