It was a lazy Sunday, the sun was out, and the skies were blue, so we jumped in the car and headed for a walk and lunch in Troon. The famous Wee Hurrie fish and chippery is not easy to find, but I remembered to drive past Scotts of Troon restaurant and keep on going until the road ran out where the fishing boats were moored. The Wee Hurrie and their sister MacCallums Oyster Bar share a ramshackle brick building with few redeeming features other than they sell some of the best ever fish and chips and seafood respectively. Oh and they have a great view of those boats! I think half of Ayrshire was having the same idea and we bagged one of the last parking spaces and joined the queue. Most seemed to be taking their fish suppers away or eating outside on the steps or single picnic table. I prefer to eat sitting down and with luck two stools at the window became available inside. Cod is a rare sight in chippies in this part of the world so it was the popular choice and most excellent. At £5.60 for a battered cod loin you'd be forgiven for having high expectations and it didn't disappoint. It was served with a pot of tartar sauce, a slice of lemon and oodles of salt and malt vinegar. Yum, and as good as it gets! I had a bit of a 'moment' when my fork splintered, sending sharp shards of white plastic into my meal. I thought I'd found all the pieces until I took a bite that had too much crunch. Ew! Next time I'll take my own sturdy plastic forks. At the prices they charge some cutlery thats fit for purpose wouldn't go amiss! Sadly the harbour seals didn't come out to play today but it was lovely seeing the fishing boats bobbing about and yachts sailing up the channel alongside. The Wee Hurrie also serves produce from their smokery including BBQ meats, but most people go for the fish. If you want to push the boat out a portion of battered monkfish costs £8.60 and yes, people were buying it. The Wee Hurrie is worth a wee day trip!

Worth a trip to Troon just to come here if you're a fan of good fish and chips. You can sit outside and watch the fisherman carrying the fish off the boats into the back of the shop, so you know it's pretty fresh! They have a great range of things including tempura, squid, thai fish cakes, and a selection of whatever fish they have - usually sea bass, salmon, cod and haddock at least. Last time I was here, I had fritto misto, although it was really just a fish supper with a selection of fish on it - there was way too much food to finish but it was really good. There can be long queues in summer and it's not usually open on Mondays so pick your day and get there early if you don't want to queue for ages. If you can bag the picnic table outside, that's a great place to sit and eat your fish and chips while watching the seals that swim around the harbour cadging fish off the fishermen.

Possibly Scotland's best chippy. Hidden out of the way by the fish market. This red brick building is full of the wonders of the sea. Their fresh fish is battered and fried giving some of the nicest tasting seafood in the uk. Get here early to avoid missing out and jump around the corner to enjoy on the beach. Not the cheapest place to eat and it can get very busy on a nice day, this really is a must visit location for any little jaunt to Troon. My personal favourite is their Tempura prawns and chips but I love the monkfish goujons too,

King prawn tempura supper

I love a visit to Troon. Even in the rain, I just love the drive and to park up and watch the sea. And obviously partake in the obligatory chippy whilst there!! The Wee Hurrie is a wee hidden gem, you'd never find it unless told about it or recommended as its so out the way! It's right on the harbour and you quite often see the seals coming up to say hello. The freshness of the food is outstanding, the term sea to plate is definitely true here, the fish could practically jump off the boat! I had the King Prawn tempura and for 10 HUGE prawns with chips, sweet chilli and a wedge of lemon I paid £6.20! The quality and size of those prawns in a Glasgow restaurant you'd pay at least £20! It is pricier than other chip shops but your paying for quality and freshness that you won't get elsewhere! And the chips are outstanding!! Worth a visit on your next jaunt to Troon.

Gluten free haddock and chips.

You can see the menu in previously posted pictures - it's still the same today! I went for the haddock and chips, with gluten free batter. For two meals and two drinks, we spent about 16 quid - quite reasonable. The place is tiny and we ended up eating in the car, which was fine as it was quite windy out. The food was delicious, the batter to fish ratio was perfect, and the tartar sauce was really tasty. Quite worth the 45 minute drive from Glasgow!

Amazing food if a little bit pricey, you can tell by the queues on a nice day how great it is.

Located at the end of the harbour road in Troon, Scotland and a bit hard to find, it's worth the effort.
