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”).
Summary
“The best fish ’n’ chips in bonny Scotland!” (“and also the best cup of tea around”) plus a “lovely harbour setting” continue to make this “diner”-style venture a “very popular” destination; “it would cost at least double elsewhere!”
