The Lemon & Herb Baked Fish was so flavorful and juicy. I tried a Deep Fried Mars Bar for the first time and loved it (I don't know what it reminds me of, but it's crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and hot enough to burn the top of your mouth). The star was definitely the Breaded Haddock. I've had fish and chips around the UK for much cheaper, but at a slightly higher price point you get a perfectly crispy piece of fish with double-fried chips. It's really more about the experience of being in a posh fish shop. It's packed with tourists, so you'll be handed a map of the city at the end -- which I found to be pretty funny given I was living in Edinburgh at the time and came with another local. But it's charming and certainly worth a visit.

i could rave about this place for hours. stumbled into here with my friends on our week long trip…read more we were jet lagged and tired from a day of walking. this first thing was that they are three floors tall and include an elevator for accessibility. the second was that they had fully closed bathroom stalls, each equipped with a sink and were very clean. they also had an accessible AND gender neutral toilet. the overall vibe of the place was fun and they had a lot of space with many tables. for the food, they had a key with all possible allergens, and showed which foods included them or not. the first thing we were asked was if there were any allergies in the party. as someone with many allergies, this was amazing. the wait staff was wonderful and very friendly. the food came quick and was so delicious. we had a few drinks, i got the cider, and they were all so good. we have since then gone again during our week in edinburgh and i am so glad we did.

In good ol'…read moreScottish fashion, they deep-fry just about anything you can imagine: fish, chicken nuggets, pies, haggis, sausage, ribs, pizza, and so on. You get the point. One item that's not listed on their menu, although it really ought to be, is the deep-fried Mars bar. According to MyFitnessPal, this tiny snack will tax your body a whopping 600 calories! Worth only £2.50 a piece, it probably deserves a medal for such a stellar calorie-to-price ratio.

The staff were very attentive , helpful and offered great customer service. The fish and chips were delicious. Also ordered the curry sauce and sausages . This fish and chip offered a great selection on their menu. The establishment is very clean and also sells products from Scotland. It should be noted I am from Washington DC and served with the United States Marines all over the World and traveled all over the United States of America. I definitely know a great cafe from all my travels and life experiences. This cafe is A must visit upon your traveling to the Highland's of Scotland. The establishment rates many stars. I definitely will be visiting again in the near future.

After waiting for about ten mins to get served at a quiet point on numerous occasions i regularly find myself waiting for at LEAST 20 minutes to receive an order of usually just two items. The staff are rather unfriendly and impolite and can be seen speaking amongst themselves before bothering to acknowledge the queue that has gathered. This would be mildly understandable if the staff comprised of just teenagers but I have witnessed individuals over 30/40 years old being just as rude. I won't even bother to discuss my few encounters I've had with them over the phonea disgrace to say the least. The only individuals I know who use them only do so for convenience, it appears that most prefer to use the other local chip shop which is a quick drive away. If they could go back to the standards of about two years ago they would be fine, but think they need to review their current staff and procedures to achieve this!

Don't go near it..The female who cooks at the fryer is filthy looking. Whilst I was waiting on food…read morethe pizza cook threw a burnt fish right across the shop to the fish fryer which he got from a bucket. The fish fryer was pinching one of the young boys bottoms and then moving foods around with her hands. One other staff member had a receipt in her mouth for someone's carryout meal and then stapled it to the bag it was being delivered in. There is only a couple of staff who seemed decent enough, the rest are foul mouthed immature and should not be working in any establishment that handles food. Now I am going to report them to the food standards.

To be honest even seeing Auchterarder on a sign post can have me salivating. I really am that suggestible! So when we were heading towards Auchterarder at tea time it seemed like the Gods of overeating were smiling on us. 2 fish suppers and one mini fish supper later the car smelt awesome, it had gone very quiet, fingers were greasy and all was right with the world. The chips were perfection, proper chippy chips. Unfortunately, the batter on the fish wasn't quite crispy enough, another couple of minutes in the fryer and the batter would have done justice to the fresh, meaty fish within. That said we managed to finish everything and ensured that the next trip up north comes with the requisite craving.
