The Fish Works in North Ayrshire

Super tasty chip shop grub located on the seafront. I ordered the double battered sausages and chips with a side of haggis. Food was really lovely & all cooked fresh to order. Pleasant staff here too. I'll be back for more when next in the area.

Not an experience I would return too. Had to throw chips away 😕

The best fish and chips I've ever had. It's no wonder this place has awards, absolutely fantastic

Fish and chips were delicious. One is enough between 2 adults. Yum yum. Friendly staff

Definitely justifies its status as the best fish and chip takeaway in Scotland and Top 3 in the UK.

October 2024 update: decided to give them another chance. My bottle of diet iron bru was flat checked the label out of date last month. Chicken katsu loaded fries came in a small box and were cold and at £9.50 are a total rip off, worth £6 max if they were warm. Food quality is excellent. Value for money has went downhill. The chicken breast strips used to be decent sized pieces now they resemble chicken fingers. I’d rather pay more and keep a high standard of product than cutting the size of the portion.

I am really, really disappointed. This is the 3rd time out of 5 in about 7 weeks that the food has been sub-par . First bad experience. Burnt black haloumi chips. Complained, sent photo. No response. 2nd time fish overcooked. Holiday season understandably v busy. But locals will be here all seasons. Tonight. Fish lovely hot, flaky. Chips.....cold, rubbery like not freshly cooked. I mean surely consistency is the answer to being an award winning chippie?

The service was really good, I believe Ozkan served us - such a wonderful person! Our food was delivered quickly and it was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much!

On holiday from Hastings so we’ve tried a few alternatives in our time, but the fish and chips we had were perfect, light batter non greasy chips, sat outside by the water, perfect.

Had take away fish and chips, sat outside the shop and ate them watching the ferry come in and out.

Perfect fish and chip albeit fish a little bit small

Delicious food! Eaten on the pier with fish 'n chips. Very friendly staff!

Fish and chips good but no curry sauce which I paid for order 114

Easy to see why this place is award winning. Amazing smoked haddock supper.

Was there on Saturday afternoon.I ordered a haddock supper the fish was tasty but extremely small six small bites and it was finished the chips were in two clumps all stuck together. If this is what the industry thinks is the best I give in. Going forward I will go the extra miles and go to the wee hurrie in Troon

Disappointing that they didn't have cod. Could only taste the batter and oil with the Haddock. Don't understand how this is the best in Scotland. They should try Oban or even Moma Frank's in Gourock

Best fish and chips in the area, with Gluten Free options. Highly recommended.

Fantastic fish and chips. The battered sausage was delicious too. Served by a very professional pleasant young man. My only note would be using sprays for vinegar, never been a fan. Otherwise perfect👌

Great place for gluten free 👍 never been let down with this place, worth the miles to get there

Had haddock and chips, big fish plenty of chips,it's take away or they have tables and chairs on the promenade that you can sit on or use the council benches facing the Clyde.opens at 12.00 noon at the moment, the fish suppers are brilliant huge fish in crispy batter.the carpark beside the promenade is now pay and display and at the moment payment is by card at the machine,there are three machines to get your ticket from.the carpark that I use beside the fish works is also close to the toilets,if coming down to Largs check if there is any events on,like the Viking event as Largs becomes very busy, one time that I was down during the Viking festival the carpark was being used for displays and there were stalls so please check online for Whats on in Largs,there are other carparks but I would think that they would be busy, or you could take the train or bus and save the worry of finding parking.

Chippy is a chippy !! It was good ... I've had better and it's expensive ... wasn't keen on the curry sauce fish was great 👍

We stopped for a poke of chips and ended up having a whole meal! the menu is very modern and impressive. The panko lemon sole was the right amount of soft crunchy. Beautifully cooked. I’d definitely recommend this plaice.

Great food polite staff and chips on beach whats not to like. Tonights meal crab and chips, squid, sausages and chips all cooked perfectly served by polite young team and owner was in the kitchen supper nice people. Guys its not cheep but it is GOOD. With the cost of living it is to be expected if you want to keep places as good as this open then prices to cover all the high cost are required. Only down side is the council need try harder to stop the aerial attack its relentless. Culls are controversial but then so is a 3 year old getting attacked whilst eating. So atmosphere is a problem but everything else is wonderfull.

Absolutely incredible chippy. I love their sign that lists the boat that caught the fish, what type of potatoes they use, and what type of oil in the fryers. Excellent transparency. Fantastic food. Great views. Voted 3rd best in the UK - for good reason!

Stopped in for Fish n Chips for lunch & it didn't disappoint. Fish supper cost £10.50 with Tartar sauce and extra £1 and sat at the seafront enjoying it.

Great choice of meals, some of which I've never come across such as battered smoked haddock.

Freshly cooked and not at all greasy. Good quality food . Friendly staff

A very decent fish supper. I had haddock and chips, my partner had smoked haddock in batter. The fish was great and the batter light and crispy. Chips were fine. My only slight issue was that the portions are not huge.... you get more elsewhere. Great location, right on the seafront. Service was easy and pleasant.

I have to say we didn't get the best of this place, assuming they had a bad day when we went. Really looking forward to it so were very disappointed The fish was overcooked and dry. And pretty tasteless. They didn't have cod either. The mushy peas were no better. Over done and dehydrated.

Got take out. It was great on time, double wrapped as requested and still hot by the time I cycled to Larg Marina where we were staying. The food was excellent. Highly recommended.

Really friendly and helpful staff, lovely wee building. Fish was well cooked and the batter was nice and crispy. Chips were perfect as well. Wee wedge of lemon chucked in. Good choice on the menu too. Everything cooked to order as well and the fish allowed to drain properly (which so many chippies don't bother with). Really lovely place. Would've been four stars but for a couple of things. Food was way over-salted, would be much better if customers could do their own salt & vinegar. I also thought the portions were a bit small for the price. It wasn't the cheapest but the chip portions were tiny and the fish was only ok in size, not huge. Otherwise, really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back.

Really friendly and helpful. Best gluten free chips I’ve had, and when there was a problem they solved straight away.

The fish was awesome, a nice thick piece of fish not like most chippies are more batter than fish I'll definitely be back it was pricey but beautiful 👌

Fish and chips are lovely out of here

The best fish and chips I have ever eaten! Fresh fish, delicious, crispy fries, and a very large portion. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for unique food!

Amazing chippy, seems like they really care about quality and using the best ingredients. The squid from there was sooo good!

Food was ok.but the portion of chips was pretty poor with each supper for what they charge wouldn't rush back !

Great fish and chips (and other things), with fantastic service for Coeliacs - we felt very well looked after.

If you like fish & chips by the sea, this is the place in Largs. Super food and service.

Excellent busy place. Lemonsole is superb

Enjoy the sea, impeccable quality/price ratio, fast service...and the gulls who put on a show...we're in Scotland 😍

Really good! Mega lecker! Fast serving, only 10min. to wait. Nice Location at the sea and watching the ferry. Absolut zu empfehlen 👍🏻

Quality of fish first class, plenty of staff cooking and serving. Friendly and courteous. Didn't have long to wait.

The fish tasted fresh and delicious.

A very good place to eat fish & chips because it is fresh fish and a good portion. If you want tartar sauce you have to buy it separately. There isn't much space if you want to consume right there. Plus, it is outdoors and it depends on the weather that you don't get rained on. The service is acceptable. Recommended if you want to eat fresh fish.

I can see why it was voted number one in Scotland. Cooked to order and, therefore, piping hot. Staff are friendly and efficient and the product is absolutely splendid. I am in my eighties and I cannot recall ever enjoying haddock and chips more than these and that isn't because my memory is failing! Well done everyone involved - the accolade is well deserved. We have eaten in some of the English award winners and The Fish Works is better! Bill C

Amazing food from the fish works We had the Louisiana prawns and fish supper, both were delicious.

Food was pretty good. Chicken strips quite a small portion. Had to wait quite a while for our last meal. Servers were nice.

Fish is delicious and made fresh to order , there's always a Q curry sauce isn't Chinese curry sauce I'd say it's more Indian in flavour

Our first time visiting The Fish Works after reading some positive reviews and it didn’t disappoint. Great food, generous portions and very friendly service. We’ll definitely be back!

Best chips I've tasted in a long time, crab meat was tasty and fresh👍👍

Even if it’s a blustery, grey and cloudy day The Fish Works is the best fish and chips on the coast and beyond. Locally sourced ingredients proudly on display. Thank to the team.

Langoustines were great as was the haddock but chips were a little skimpy and not so fresh as usual.

Great fish and chips cooked to order lovely and fresh curry sauce is fab it rounds off a lovely day out at Largs with the grandkids

Nice fish and chips. Friendly staff

First time trying the fish and chips. The fish was tasty portion size good. It was really busy we managed to get a table. Tables are outside. Prices reasonable. Staff were friendly Would definitely go back

great fish and chips but the seating area was let down by people and thier dogs sitting at the seats please do not let your dog urinate under the chair and table when other customers are eating thier food it disjusting !

Fish was not fresh and not up to a high standard! After travelling some distance to try this venue we were very disappointed

Second time now we've had fish suppers from The Fish Works, and again they've knocked it out the park! The batter was light & not greasy, the fish (we had the Haddock) was thick, juicy & cooked to perfection. And just the right amount of chips. I really recommend their homemade tartare sauce also, lovely light and tangy, a perfect addition to the fish supper. It really does beat the other fish and chip shops by miles, definitely worth every penny.

I have been to a few places that say they do the best fish & chips, wasn't expecting anything spectacular. These were some of the best I had ever eaten, and what was really impressive was that it must have been at the end of the busiest day of the year so far. Tasty, non-greasy, fish and chips and some impressive veggie options.

Quick and friendly service. Haddock suppers, (one was gluten free) and battered sausages were delicious. Really good sized portions. Would definitely recommend.

Tremendous day out with the kids had a lovely time with all great food and ice cream

The awards don't lie. Amazing food, every cooked fresh to order. Can't go wrong here!

Asked if fish was cooked separately. Young man serving me understood I was asking if the sausage meats were cooked in the same oil. Advised that panko breadcrumbed fish is cooked separately and would avoid cross contamination. Deeply appreciated the guidance. Food was fabulous and cooked to perfection. Easily the best fish n chips we've had in decades. The price was ridiculously cheap for the quality of food on display. Highly recommend when visiting Largs 😍😍

I am not a fan of fish and chips at all, far too often they’re greasy, flavourless, lack in all flavour of fish and chips. The fish works however, absolutely brilliant ! A generous portion of haddock over a bed of beautiful chips - and the best thing: absolutely no grease left on the bottom at all. Served with a lovely house made tartar sauce and mushy peas, with lashings of salt and vinegar and a lemon wedge on top. Serviced by 3 wonderful young members of polite, well mannered staff, and best of all - a smile. We ate by the bay, a lovely environment, with even lovelier food. Worth mentioning, the pricing, a large fish supper, tartar sauce, mushy peas, 2 cans of sweet nectar (Iron Bru), and another portion of chips - £21.20, fantastic value for money. I could not recommend The Fish Works highly enough, thank you to your wonderful, cheery staff!

Really tasty fish - very crispy, good chips, curry sauce a little bit watery but overall really tasty!

Visiting Largs on our way to Arran we stopped by this excellent Fish & Chips shop with friendly staff. Had haggis fritters and chips and both were top tier. 12 years since Id had a proper haggis supper so this was very nostalgic for me

The place is not bad, it's a chippy on the seafront. Can't more than that🤷

It is a little bit on the dear side, but has really nice food.

The best fish and chips I've had in a very long time. Well worth the 15-minute wait.

Fantastic Fish and Chips on the seafront.

Delicious food at great prices right on the water front

An amazing chippy. Super fresh and well priced. Ate on the beach as no sit in area but plenty of seats outside. Well worth visiting.

Wow wow wee wow! Great success! Fresh fish! Crispy chips with a fluffy middle! Tartare sauce 10/10! Atmosphere slightly spoiled by a family shouting at each other (lol!) Would recommend to anyone! P.s vinegar spray is a golden idea and I love it x

Haddock was lovely. Perfectly cooked in batter with good size portion of chips. Ideal location on the promenade. Obviously popular but has good service so did not have to wait long for order.

The best chippy I’ve ever had. We had the smoked haddock supper, curry sauce and the loaded crab chips special. It was amazing! Chips cooked perfectly, seasoning perfect, curry sauce the most delicious fruity homemade version, crab so fresh, batter light and crispy. Such lovely, quick service from your team even on a busy Saturday. Thank you so much!

Best chippies on the West Coast

Tasty fish supper after a great day out. Perfect.

Not as good as I expected. Lot batter not much fish. Chips ok.

simply the best fish & chips you will ever have!

Visited Largs recently and had a fish n chips and curry sauce. Firstly, to order you need to go inside and squeeze past the sacks of potatoes and between the two tables to get to the counter. Then you are instructed to stand outside in the wet n windy summers day and wait for you number to be called. Despite being ‘cooked to order’ it had no freshness about it. The chips are described as twice cooked which they definitely were and resembled chips that had already been fully cooked left to go cold and then refried to heat up leaving them hard and chewy on the outside with almost nothing left inside. The fish batter was very dark (over cooked) and again suspect was ‘twice cooked’. Peeling the batter off the fish was coated in oil and that was all that I could taste. The curry sauce was like a generic Chinese sauce but was overly thick and grainy. Over priced, terrible ordering routine and the food did not meet expectations.

Fish Tacos were absolutely fantastic. Chips were cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and efficient. Definitely worth a visit. We will most definitely return. And my dog very much enjoyed her sausage 😁

Best ever langoustine scampi!!! As well the service super nice with the most fresh and delicious food. The chips were just as good and the scampi itself, highly recommended

Amazing fish and chips. Busy Friday night service. Great to have the vinegar from a spray bottle to make sure the batter on the fish stays crispy and not soggy. Chips were heavenly. Definitely going back.

I found the chips very hard, were like reheats, very disappointed, won't be getting my fish and chips there again.

Selling Rock water for £1.70 a bottle which you can buy 12 bottles bottles for £3.75 in iceland RIP OFF LARGS

Went to this chippy 2 nights in a row while staying at wemyss bay and couldn’t recommend it enough, fresh food everytime and one of the best chippy’s we’ve ever had! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

doesnt meet its hype, overpriced and food not great

very busy but food was delicious

Seafront Fish & Chips - rude not to? Fish was perfectly cooked, batter crispy and crunchy, plus the lemon wedge added the extra zing that makes the difference. Chips were crisp outside and fluffy inside. We had a great Fish (Haddock) Supper, great Haggis Fritters & they even do a dog-sausage for a couple of quid. The best views out onto the Clyde & ferry terminal, to watch the world go by whilst enjoying the good food 🎣 … carpark is a few strides away, for those days (like today) when you need to take shelter!

Do gluten free (almost the all menu) and it taste just like the real stuff. The only downside is it is only outdoor seating so if the weather is miserable, that isn't ideal. Haven't been disappointed by the food yet.

Wasn't impressed ordered 2 cod and chips and and I think they forgot to put the fish in the batter . The fish was that thin couldn't even pick up a piece of fish using a fork although the chips were very good and the place was very busy

Normally this chippy is really good I normally get a fish supper. Went last Friday on break from work. Got sausage supper it was absolutely disgusting skin on the sausage was disgusting taste. When I split the sausage in two. I could see the skin on the sausage. It has honestly put me a sausage supper from any chippy. My stomach is turning writing out this message. I don't normally do this kind of message. But it was really really bad

Ordered haddock fish supper with sides for Aunt and Uncle Absolutely Delicious we're comment I received from them,Great Value,Large Portion,pipping hot on arrival.website very straightforward,

Absolutely fantastic service from a young girl and the fish was crispy and the chips were good.

Fish and chips, both ordinary and gluten free very nice. Mushy peas particularly nice. Take out but tables available outside looking at the ferry's and the water.

Amazing location on the prom in Largs. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten free. Made sure that I got the proper condiments in addition to my gluten free fish & chips. It was the best fish & chips I've had since discovering I have celiac. I had no reactions afterwards. I had heard the seagulls were bad, but we had no issue. The fish was fresh, the batter was crispy and not greasy. I'm an American so I don't have the same feeling towards chips that the rest of my party did, but they liked them quite well. I was so thrilled with the fish that the chips were an after thought for me. I found them to be very tasty as well.

Best fish and chips in Largs, Scotland and the whole of the United Kingdom 😍

Just had the best vegan fish and chips I've ever tasted. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Place was busy which is always a good sign. Also added mushy peas, curry sauce and chickpea fritters which were also amazing. My brother law had the gluten free options which he said were amazing as well. Really impressed and can't wait to go back.

Nice that they have gluten-free options. The battery on the fish was lovely and crispy. Unfortunately, the chips were disappointing, pale, and under cooked for me.
