Pans Jambo Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Nowhere near Edinburgh but if you are ever in Oban there are 2 chippies on the main road in the town. Cant remember their names but one of them over-looks the bay. Both have a sit-in part as well. OMG! this is how a fish supper should be!!! I think its Cod they use instead of haddock. Completely different experience to anything through this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pans Jambo Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Chippy at the town hall in Musselburgh is quite good. The one across the road from Lucas Ice Cream shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pans Jambo Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Also, they have just opened a drive through chip shop (really) in Port Seton on the site of the old Ship Inn Hotel & boozer on the main road through the town. Its built and open but the drive through bit isn't operational as yet. I suppose they will be waiting for the "trip down the coast with the family" brigade in the summer months before they open it. Carlos is what its called. Chips not too bad either. Modern, sit in facilities, toilets, TV's on the walls, off street car parking etc.Think he's also got another chip shop in Portobello high street.

Mr Brightside Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Can't say I've heard many complaints myself, but since Xmas/New Year ive been trying my best to avoid takeaways, so ive not been in for a while. Barracuda with its made to order suppers has always been better IMO, but Gio's must be a goldmine. It's always heaving. Saturday tea time there always a queue out the door - and that's with a seven staff chain gang behind the counter They are my 2 local chippys both good. Never seen so many staff in a chippy as Gios. Think portions are bigger in the Baracuda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinJambo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Had a fish supper from The Fountain on Yeaman Place a couple of weeks ago and I am still thinking about it. Really good. Not had anything else from there so not sure what rest of 'menu' is like but whilst I was waiting for the chips to fry, I saw a pizza being made and it looked nice.

the sub goalie Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 BBQ is shite these days other than their pizzas. Soggy batter and even soggier chips. Went right downhill, used to be a cracking chippy aswell. Best fish supper I've had recently has been the tail end. Also got one from the Gorgie fry after the Cowdenbeath game and fresh made and was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester™ Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 A shortlist of 28?

Say What Again Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 A shortlist of 28? To be fair, compared to the amount of chippies in Edinburgh and all the surrounding areas, 28 probably is a pretty short list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Another vote for the Tail End from me, very good fish supper and it's rare you get chips as good as theirs.

chester copperpot Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I was in the BBQ on Sunday after my weekend exploits and remembering the mentions on this thread. Got a Hamburger Supper and it was totally rank. The burger was way overcooked and the batter was soggy as feck, which seems a bit of a contradiction but that's how it turned out. Shame as I was really looking forward to it after being burst for most of the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
