CASH ONLY WARNING: Nobody will tell you that Jim Jack's is cash only until you get the check and…read moreattempt to use a credit card. No signs, no warnings, nothing. And yes, shockingly there are still places in 2019 that don't take credit cards, so beware. Jim Jack's is a cozy little restaurant with seating for only 16 on the right half, and takeout orders only on the left half, with neither connected (unless you're an employee). There is no need to order at the bustling left half where takeout orders are flying like it's a Manhattan diner. You only need to take a seat in the quiet right half and wait for a server. As Americans would say, Jim Jack's has a pretty solid fish and chips game. It's not earth-shattering food but it's tasty, and it will definitely hit the spot for hungry patrons. The haddock is fresh and the batter is excellent (the haddock supper has traditional batter while the breaded haddock supper has a breadcrumb batter, both good). The chips are just like they are anywhere else in the UK. Tip: Try the chips dipped in their curry sauce. Yum! So, bring cash, be prepared for pretty good food, and have a blast.

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 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 the south of Scotland amongst the rolling hills of the Southern Uplands lies the undeniably…read morelovable town of Peebles. There are a surprising number of culinary offerings for a town of merely 8,000, not the least of which is The Cross Keys restaurant connected to a hotel of the same name. As one of the most popular eateries in town, you'll find a bustling crowd at suppertime. There is no indication of how to proceed once you enter the restaurant, so if you're not from here there is a system. Seat yourself, grab a menu and decide what to order. Have someone in your group remain at the table, note your table number, walk to the bar, and place your order followed by table number. Despite a packed house, the food arrived quickly. The large mixed grill is a manly portion of various meats, including 2 cuts of pork, a thick ham, a small steak, 2 sausages, a fried egg, onion rings, and steak fries (what they call chips in the UK). The steak was tough and the ham was average, but the pork was delicious and so were the onion rings. They have a pretty good fish and chips here and good chicken fingers as well. We'd love to come back and try the ice cream sandwich for dessert! If you're out in this rural area of Scottish countryside and looking for a decent meal, Cross Keys will definitely suffice.

Despite there being a perfectly ok chip shop literally across the road from our house it was always worth jumping in the car to get a proper fish supper from Mackays. When I was living at home the shop was further along the high street but this location (the old Co-op) is perfect for a fish and chip shop and cafe. The take away counter faces the high street and in the back heading out to the sea wall is the cafe. They even have picnic tables looking out over the sea with parasols to save you from seagulls diving bombing your chips. You can always spot a tourist by the nonchalant way they assume they can eat their chips walking along the sea wall, locals know this is the fastest way to loose your chips and risk being pooed on! Anyone who has been there will tell you that a present from a seagull is not lucky, they are massive birds with a fish based diet. Just sit under the umbrellas please! G and I had abandoned the girls with my mum and were working on the rule that calories consumed more than 50 miles from your home address really don't count so both ordered fish suppers to go. We sat at the picnic tables laughing at the tourists fending off seagull attacks and tucked into the best fish and chips ever. The chips are perfect mainly chunky, light and fluffy but with just enough wee crispy ones mixed through to keep everyone happy. But the reason you come to a fishing town to eat fish and chips isn't the chips! The fish here is spectacular. Fresh, meaty, flaky perfection encased in the most spectacularly crisp gold batter. I'm salivating just typing this. They make their own ice-cream and I have only ever heard really good things about it, am pretty sure it wins awards. But I just come for fish and chips. The only downside is that it ruins you so that no other fish supper will ever satisfy again, to be honest I'd still do it.

The interior doesn't look much. But then again, how good is the inside of a chippy supposed to look? The portions are a good size, but if you're like me an extra chips will do down well (and still be dead cheap). Avoid going at 6pm on Sundays as the queue is halfway down the street.

If you wander 30 or so feet down to the harbour you'll see where they get the catch every day. This place looks as if it hasn't changed in about 70 years! Absolutely no frills. This is a chippy so no prawn cocktail or scampi, just fantastic fish and chips. Queues outside prove the popularity - prepare to wait, especially on a Saturday night. We drive through from the Glasgow area, (2 hour drive) get a fish supper and sit on the shore walls looking out to sea in the most picturesque surroundings (and we don't have to dodge the seagulls).
