First and last time we will use The Frying Scotsman. The fish was stale and looked even worse. We only ate it because it had been paid for

Visited this place a few times now and the food is always very good, well cooked, well presented and hot Staff are very accomodating and friendly. Best chippie aroubd imho.

Service here is good, had fish & chips here a few times but fish usually overdone to the point of being chewy and chips not quite cooked enough. Prefer to keep it local, but there are better places in the bay. I see people complained that it's expensive, but I'd say it's comparable with others locally.

Having not long arrived at the nearby holiday park thought we would try the local chippy.Had fish and chips 2 times we over priced to much batter on the fish and chips were hard and crispy not the best

Dry chips obviously been in the heater cabinet for a long time. Fish was two separate pieces battered together. £21 for 3 fish and chips?

Sent someone to buy fish and chips form the new DJs chip shop. Shocked with the price of £19.95 for 2 large cods and one large chips, wouldn't have paid it if id gone myself. would have gone back to Nikkis. Fish was good but only normal size, not a large size compared to what you normally get elsewhere. Chips were awful had a awful taste and left a grease after taste on your lips and mouth, really not nice. chips are so much better, first class from the kebab shop a few doors down. Again portion size for a large chips was poor more like a standard to other chip shops and some have the outer skin still on them which spoils it. Very disappointed with price portion size and chips, won't be going back.

Good food overall but chips a bit ropey. Battered sausage was one of the best I’ve had. Fish good. Easier to go and order inside instead of click and collect

The facebook page needs updating so customers know the correct prices. It is unfair that the prices on facebook do not match those at the shop.

On arrival we had to place our order first, however, nothing is explained and you have to rely on the people stood outside to guide you through the steps! You would think that the sensible idea would be to queue to the left for orders and to the right to collect, but everyone just stands hopelessly in the street! Okay, I understand Covid issues but atleast when you order give everyone a number or something. Instead the poor man tries to call out each order from inside. Outside with the traffic you can't hear a thing!! Food is okay - prices fair. Chips were well over cooked and dark (the oil needs changing - I know, I am a chef!) Sorry - nothing to write home about. PS... Take cash as they don't take cards. (Unlike most other establishments who don't want to handle cash!!!!!) There is a card ATM in the street.

We always use this fish bar whenever we stay at the local holiday park. Staff friendly, service good, food excellent. All cooked fresh and to order. Very reasonable prices and decent portion sizes. The cod is amazing - a little smaller than some other places but thick, white, soft and flaky and clearly very fresh. As it is cooked to order the batter is perfect. The chips, whilst quite a dark colour, are really good too. Highly recommended !
