Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I don't think I've had a better fish supper.... Just amazing. Fish was cooked perfectly, melt in you mouth stuff, batter was perfectly crispy and not too thick and the chips were superb, I will be back soon and I'll be telling everyone about it."
"Freshly cooked fish and chips, only had to wait 5 mins this evening. Social distancing measures in place and staff were very friendly and efficient. The establishment was spotless as usual. Food was delicious, highly recommended."
"Have visited fochabers fish bar a number of times and everytime the fish has been cooked beautifully. Really nice crispy batter with homemade tartar sauce."
"This is probably one of the best fish and chip shops around the UK. Granted, you can’t currently sit in due to COVID-19 restrictions, but that doesn’t stop the food from being amazing! Normally when sitting in, for an extra £1 you can order tea and buttered bread for the table. Obviously this isn’t possible at the moment. I usually go for a black pudding supper, (for non-Scots that’s a deep-fried black pudding with chips) followed by the classic — a deep-fried Mars Bar. Soft, slightly melting inside and still warm, this is some of the best food in Scotland. If you’re ever up on the coast near Elgin, head down the road to Fochabers Fish Bar and drop in. You won’t be disappointed!"
"We are from South Korea, it was business trip from Aberdeen to Inverness. One of my collegue want a emergency stop for the rest room. Bus driver stop next to this restaurant, we couldn't keep patient when we saw signboard with Scottland's No.1 Fish and chips 2017. Inside the restaurant was croweded with the people who were already ordered for take out. That gave us more expectations for the food. Food was hot and cripsy. Tartar sauce was great I've never had before. Vinegar on the fish was excellent that caught the oily taste. It was lucky and fun experience."
"The fish and chips served here was excellent so fresh and a nice portion also. The restaurant part is not open but you can make your order via a small wondow. You are given a buzzer which activates once your order is ready. We did have long to wait and it was not too busy. The village of Fochabers may have a by-pass but it is certainly worth a visit to see what the village has to offer."
"Just had a small breaded fish supper. Was cooked fresh and was amazing. Best fish supper I’ve had in the north east. Reasonably priced and friendly staff."
"The fish and chips were delicious, fresh fish, crispy light batter and great chips. Nice touch with the lemon wedge and pot of tartare sauce. Good service and friendly staff. I highly recommend and will certainly be visiting again"
