You want to get yourselves up to the Fish & Chip Shop, Oban then Anne - I agree with Rick that it is the best Fish & Chips ever. That is, I agree with Rick Stein, not Rick. Nobody really knows who Rick is apart from the people in Oban who own a rival Fish & Chip shop :D

Reminds me of Yakapark and the Original Yakapark  ;)

There is a new restaurant in Winchester bearing the  Rick Stein name, which is one of the least frequented places we have ever seen. I had a wee look at the price list, and very quickly realised why !  Now, Winchester is a pretty well-to-do, up-market city, and if his restaurant there is not attracting custom, it can only be due to the fact that his food is not up the standard expected by the local population , for the price asked !! Just saying, like .

Being in the major white fish port of Europe.. Peterhead, we get the best Fish and of course,  the best Fish and Chip shops ever. When my daughter was at Uni down at Luton.  She hated the fish and chips down there.  I visited her and brought a whole pile of fish and cooked it for her and her house mates. They all said they had never tasted fish like it.

That bad, was it ??  Only joking Jacqui.  ;-)  When I lived in Bo'ness, West Lothian as was, MANY years ago, there was a little fish & chip shop on the Linlithgow Road, Newtown area, ( Teeny Buchanans ), which sold the best ever fish & chips in the world !! They used proper beef dripping in their fryers, and it was changed very regularly. The shop is still there, used it last year, but sadly, the quality of the fish & chips is absolutely dreadful, chips come to the customer in one big lump, all sticking together, not good !!

That reminds me of holidays to my gran's here in Perth Gordy - the fish and chips were cooked in dripping and were absolutely sensational, if a lethal weapon in the long term. Our local chippy today is that same one. The quality is still incredibly high - it is a standard takeaway chip shop but sits at No.3 in Perth Restaurants on Tripadvisor - but the beef dripping long since gone.

Our local chippy won the National Award for the best chippy in the country.  It is always packed and always a queque as everything is freshly made. 
In Scotland Fish and Chips is called a Fish Supper and is always made with Haddock.

It was a Shetland fish and chip shop that won the whole of the UK award this year. That's a really good achievement.

 Our local chippies won sod all but the grubs good, the down side is it's too expensive.

 I can have a lovely carvery at a local Inn for less than the cost of a fish n chip takeaway.
