There is a nice variety of seafood on offer on the menu but the better choice is to select your fish from tonight's specials on the wall. That's what we did and we were very satisfied. The wine menu is limited. We chose a Pouilly Fuse that was unfortunately not drinkable. The staff were kind enough to take it back. I then chose the IPA that was much better. The appetizer recommended by our server was the mussels. These were best mussels I've ever enjoyed. It was served with a sauce made with garlic, butter, milk, and onion. It's good enough to be a soup! Our sides included brocholini and halumi. Both were excellent. The brocholini was flavorful and crunchy with a nice sauce-though know that the sauce has ham in it. The cheese, lightly fried is served with a spicy sauce that I really enjoyed, bit was too much for my wife. It was superb. We selected the monkfish and sea bass for our mains. Both were excellent, moist and flavorful fish-generous portions of each. This was an extremely satisfying and enjoyable meal. It was I've of our best in Scotland. We were frankly unable to eat more and we didn't have dessert.

So I went back the next day by myself, I did rsvp for 1 for 3pm, which was't necessary. After looking at the menu, went with: - Haddock & Chips with mushy peas. One thing I do like about this place was that, they offer different fish options, but no cod, thus I went with haddock. They do better job with frying their fish. The fish and the batter did not fall apart. The mushy peas was not my cup of joe :) When you walk in, to your right is the kitchen, where you can order for take out, walk towards the left to go to the dining room. The service was mediocre, thus only three stars. The wait staff rarely stopped by to check on you or refill your water, you had to hunt them down to get more water.

By 8:15 I tried to contact the restaurant and they were unresponsive - the phone would click that it was picked up and immediately was hung back up. This happened when I tried to call again 3 more times. It's now 8:45 at night and still no food and no way to reach the restaurant to resolve this. I'd give 0 stars if I could- don't advertise delivery, take a order and send a confirmation, charge my card then NEVER ACTUALLY DELIVER my food.... oh wait it's now 9:00 and what's that? A knock at the door? Yeah thanks for delivering now I say to which the response is sorry very busy and walked away- I hope the food is better now as leftovers tomorrow than your service... not pleased.

I'm allergic to fish but was able to find some tasty options to fill up for the night. I had the smoked sausage, chips with vinegar and smashed peas. I especially enjoyed the smashed peas and smoke sausage. My dinner mates had the fish and chips and the lobster patties and seemed to enjoy those as well. We didn't have dessert but they do offer chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream. This is a simple cafe with a handful of tables and an easy setup for carry out. Located in the heart of Crail, it was an easy five to ten minute walk from the Fife Trail. Such a reward to cap the day off!

Because I will never - EVER - find a fish supper superior, or perhaps even equal, to the one I had this weekend from the Golden Bite. I travelled to Portobello with Moray L on the express mission of trying the legendary Bite Of Gold after reading Justin G's review, and we were the first ones in when the doors opened at 16:45. The man who greeted us over the counter could not have been happier if he had been a dog in a field full of squirrels. It doesn't seem an exaggeration to say that I suspect frying fish has been his lifelong passion. Because we were so early, we got the first haddock to go into the fryer - clean, white haddock of gobsmacking, Jonah-swallowing proportions which the chap wobbled at us playfully before setting about the battering and frying. At this point - minutes after the doors opened - the shop filled. I mean it properly filled. I know not how many of these were pilgrims like us, and how many were locals, but it's clear that the reputation of The Golden Bite's fish suppers is widely renowned. I was reaching five stars simply from the cleanliness, the rich frying smell, and the chap's jollity before I'd even put anything in my mouth, and when a small girl entered and he pulled down a teddy bear to wave at her, I was smitten with the place entirely. But the food. The food. The proof of the poisson is in the eating. Oh. My. Wrapped lovingly in paper and carried down reverently to the seafront for consumption, these piscine Midas fillets were battered to crispy perfection, but still with the softer underside that makes a fish supper truly sensational. The chips - proper chip shop chips - were glorious and plentiful, but not so numerous as to prevent one from finishing the lustrous, luscious fishywishy that so enchanted both me and Moray. I need to go back. No, you don't understand. I NEED to go back. Now. And I don't think I will ever love a fish supper in quite the same way that I love the Golden Bite's.

Crispy batter and cooked just right. I did notice that a plastic sheet A5 size was placed on top of the fish to stop it from sticking to the paper what a great idea, this shop is a must for anyone passing by

I did comment about the price and they gave me a reasonable answer - the quality of the food they get is expensive. They told me that over Christmas they had a good time in Edinburgh, and were selling fish for nearly £8! I was shocked - as they seemed to be - but upon trying it was worth every penny! I have been to other chippies, plaid similar prices and got less. I don't know where everyone else went, but it was not here. The batter was gorgeous and the fish was the size of a whale! Anyway - if you like high quality food that are a joy for your taste buds, fanatic service (with a bit of decent conversation as well) and all for a decent price - go now where else bar Alanda's! It's the best... by miles!
