Harden's survey result
Summary
“For us, the best fish and chips we’ve ever had, sitting by the ocean!” – this famous and good-value chippy has been owned for almost 20 years by Robert Smith, whose family has been involved with the local fishing industry since the 1700s. Any complaints? “we had to queue a very long time to get our order (but that was because it’s so popular!)”.
Summary
Famous for its “top-quality”, “astoundingly cheap” fish – this harbourside chippy has been owned since 2003 by Robert Smith, from a local fishing dynasty that stretches back to the 1700s. He set up supply specialist Argofish in nearby St Monans with his wife Alison in 1980.

Summary
“Putting up with the fast-food-joint interior, because of the quality of food” is all part of the experience at this “astoundingly cheap” and “warren-like” fish ‘n’ chippy – as is being prepared to queue (“everybody for miles around knows how good a place this is”).
For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
