    This is my plate of fish and chips with a side of mushy peas. You've got to try it cause it's delicious.

    This is a busy fish and chips shop in Oban , Scotland. This is their specialty and it's great. Fish is really crispy and tasty. The chips ( fries ) are great too and the mushy peas top it all off well. We had a nice table and enjoyed our lunch there.

    Wow!  I know they don't make it but these drinks were good!!!

    We were feeling snack-ish and realized we hadn't had fish and chips the entire time we've been in Scotland so we decided to stop by Oban Fish and Chip Shop, hearing that it's the best in the town. We sat in instead of doing take out because we had been out in the sun all day, on the water. Our server was nice and didn't seem to mind that we were sharing food, instead of both ordering a meal. We shared a large portion of haddock and chips and man it was large. We were just looking for a snack but this could have been a whole meal for the both of us. I'm curious to how big the regular portion is. I didn't mind though, I needed the carbs to soak up the whisky I was about to have. The fish was fried perfectly and it was moist and delicious. So very, very fresh. The chips were good. I liked their tartar sauce a lot, and I'm not a big fan of tartar sauce. The place is clean and cute, with a lot of natural sunlight in the back. I was shocked at how clean the bathroom was. It may have been the cleanest restaurant bathroom I saw on our whole trip.

    Amazing service, with outstanding speed of the best fish and chips anywhere! Strongly recommended for the freshly caught dinners no matter if you're eating in or via takeaway! I has the scallops, and this was the best I've ever eaten!

    We were told that this restaurant has the best fish n chips so we decided to give this a try. I ordered a haddock and a cod fish n chips plates that came with fries. Mu mom and I really liked it. My wife wanted to try the spicy bean burger but unfortunately the entire vegetarian menu was unavailable and we were not informed before being seared. So for the vegetarian folks in the group. Onion rings were ordered which was decent. I would recommend this restaurant for the fish n chips

    So good. So fresh. I had the haddock fish and chips with curry sauce and sat at a park bench and inhaled it. Best I've ever had.

    This place came highly recommended via my tour guide on my trip to Oban. First and foremost, I will say this is definitely the best fish and chips in town. Portions are huge and everything is deliciously fried. They do have options that don't include seafood if it's not something that's your favorite. The waitress was sweet and stayed on top of everything, despite being so busy. I ordered the regular prime haddock with chips. My food was brought out promptly and included a side of Tartar sauce. My regular sized piece was quite large and I was very full when finished. It was light and crispy. Everything overall was wonderful. I highly recommend if in Oban!

    Cod - fish

    THE BEST fish and chips I had while traveling through Scotland. We got there closer to closing time and they were only opened for takeout when we got there a little before 9pm. They had tables but restaurant portion closed already. I'm assuming around 8 since there were people still eating. Right when you walk in, you see the counter and the chippy making the food. I liked that the menu had a lot of different things on it and with fish and chips - you can do either cod or haddock. I decided on the cod and my BF got the haddock. We also got two orders of chips & cheese (cheese fries). They had a few chairs to sit and wait. When they finished, they asked if we wanted salt or malt vinegar. Of course. We went to our car to stuff our faces. I got a good size piece of cod for £5! It was sooo good. It was crisp and the fish juicy. The fries were delicious. The cheese was so good and the order was huge so we could've shared one order. Definitely a proper place for fish and chips.

    Amazing chowder
    Andrew R.

    Absolutely the best place in Oban for fish and chips. Everything here is cooked to order, not held in a window waiting to be ordered. Many variations on the classic fish and chips from haddock to cod to the day's fresh catch. Additionally there are large platters to be shared by multiple people that allow you to try multiple different items from the menu. The staff is very attentive and more than happy to meet any request. The shop is a bit of a smaller place, but if that bothers you all the wonderful menu items are available for take away. The one item that stood out to me is the chowder. In a large menu it can easily go unnoticed. Do yourself a favor and order a bowl. It is rich and creamy, with a generous helping of cod and smoked haddock. The smoke is a very nice touch, offset by the fresh herb garnish, and brought together with rich creamy broth.... it's absolutely amazing. One of the best chowders I've ever had. The search function did not lead you astray, this is absolutely the best place in town for fish and chips!

Except I walked over there and found nothing, just open waterfront. Whoops. Fortunately, I walked right past this other open restaurant that also had fish & chips at a reasonable price, and more importantly, HAGGIS! I can tell you now, they should rename to Fish, Chips, and Haggis. Because this fried haggis sausage is da bomb. I think when they named that one sandwich "da bomb", they were wrong. It's this. Delicious haggis, perfectly deep fried, just the right amount of breading. Classic, timeless, Scotland. The dinner includes plenty of chips, light fried, not dripping with oil - some of the best I've ever had. So get that, not the single. In the end, the only downside is it's takeout-only. No room inside. Great service, great selection, great food. Do stop in when you come to Oban to head out to the wonderful North West isles. (Do all of this. Trust me. It's wonderful here.)

It's a very austere interior -- all glass -- but intentional for the lights out views of the working fishing harbor. Of course we had to have the oysters! They were very deep cups; meaty; and creamy, unlike any oyster I've had before. For American sensibilities, no cocktail sauce, or mignonette, which disappointed my husband, but I was fine with it. Lots of lemon is the Scottish way! We also had one of their specials, the lobster & langoustine cocktail, which, again for American sensibilities, was lobster & langoustine bits on lettuce, with a DELICIOUS rose dressing, not the meat in a martini glass with sauce.... Our dining partners had beautiful, plump mussels, which they shared and devoured; another had the open faced salmon, also scraped clean from the plate. We returned the next day for a reservation I'd made online, only to find we weren't on the list. Since reservations in Scotland are more than recommended, we asked for help from our desk agent, who said this happens at eeusk a good bit. So, please be sure to have an email confirmation, or simply call/stop in yourself to make your resy. Cheers!
