    This has to be one of the best fish suppers in Aberdeenshire. I regularly make the 13mile round trip and it is well worth it.

    I'mma start this review off by saying I don't like FISH. Like, pretty much not at all. I never…read moreorder fish when I'm in the United States or any type of fish soup to be sure. That being said,... When in Rome... Or Scotland.... So going to the UK, I've been there before, I know fish and chips is a thing. So when I am traveling, I will order and eat the local traditional dishes. So when we found Findlay's just by chance while driving through the Scottish countryside, the fish and chips was the thing to get. And I'm very glad I did to be honest. First of all, the cut of fish was massive. Like, covered the entire plate big. We were actually greeted and served by the owner of the restaurant (and possibly head Chef?) He was an absolutely wonderful fellow. He told us all about the history of the restaurant, how they are close to the ocean so they get an excellent selection of very, very good quality fish, which helps their dishes to be the best fish and chips you can get in Scotland. I believe that was what he claimed, and I think it'd be hard to dispute that. My wife and I very much enjoyed it. She likes fish a lot and orders it often, and she loved it. The breading was light and crispy and full of flavor. The fish was meaty and very tasty. The owner also recommended a local dish, which was the Cullen Skink. Now, prior to this experience, I thought skink was just a lizard. But I said what the heck, let's do it. And I'm so glad we did. It was actually a fish soup, no lizards involved. And it was very, very good. I literally finished the bowl myself. My wife and I shared it, but I left none in the bowl. It was that good. We very much enjoyed our conversation with the owner and I loved the interior of the restaurant. It has a very cute interior and it was a very clean restaurant. The the walls were covered with photos and history of the area, local fisherman and women who were involved in the fishing trade. It was very informative and just an absolutely wonderful lunch for us. To be honest, we chose this location due to the fact it was very close to where we happened to be, plus the name, Fraserburgh reminded us of the Fraser characters in the Outlander television series. Findlay's Fish Bar & Diner was an excellent experience for us from start to finish. And I would highly recommend it to anyone who happened to be in the area and looking for an excellent meal.

    I was happy to see fresh caught Langoustine on the menu so we had to order. I was able to switch my…read moreorder from chips (had too many back down the road earlier in the day) to onion rings. The breading was light but greasy so I opted for taking off the breading so I could taste the langoustine. It was very good but I wasn't over the moon about the overall flavor of anything. I loved the little corner cafe though and the lovely gentleman who waited on us and everyone with genuine care and a huge Scottish smile.

    Fish and chips. Something I just can't get enough of whenever I'm back in the UK…read more We visited Mr. Chips going off a recommendation from some family members when we were back visiting Aberdeen. It is right in the Rosemount area so it's pretty convenient if heading into city centre. We stopped in for a cheeky chipper lunch before doing a bit of shopping/wandering around town. The place is immaculately clean, almost sterile seeming with it's polished steel surfaces and digital menu. While not a cosy place to sit and enjoy your chips, (there's only a couple stools anyways) it's definitely better than some of the grimy chippers you find on late nights out.. The prices are right about standard, and I got the jumbo haddock dinner, it was about 8 pounds or so, and it was seriously jumbo. A lot of fish and a lot of chips, so it was a great deal for the amount. I probably shouldn't have eaten it all myself, but I couldn't resist. The fish and chips were piping hot, fresh out of the fryer, and even when we took our boxes away and walked to Union Terrace gardens before eating we still had a very hot lunch waiting for us. The breading on the haddock wasn't too greasy and had just the right amount of crispiness to it. The fries were firm and not as greasy as some chippies make em, but if they weren't greasy at all, you'd wonder what was up. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in Aberdeen. Until then, I need to find a way to get fresh, hot, salty, vinegar-spritzed fish and chips in the US for a reasonable price...

    Came in starving on a weeknight after working late, just before 10pm and they were still taking…read morecustomers- score! It's a small business in a residential area right on the corner, you can't miss it. Despite the late hour and the staff just wanting to just close up and go home, they happily took my order and cooked the fish fresh, about a 10 minute wait. My food came out hot and soo delicious (though I was in an extremely food deprived state so probably anything would have been delicious by this point). Ample portion size, food cooked fresh and the shop is clean, I know this because I spent the 10 minute wait time watching them clean up the shop. Highly recommended, would return again.
