I bought takeaway fish and chips here for my partner and myself, as we were visiting Nairn for a wedding, up from Newcastle. The fish was extremely high quality and cooked very well. Very crispy batter. My partner, who always wants a small size fish was very happy with the portion size and none went to waste, which is not often the case. The mood in the chippy was very friendly and chatty. The owners seem very nice.

Best fish supper in Nairn, quick service by friendly staff. Can get busy at times, but worth the wait. All freshly cooked, lovely chips and nice white fish all packed in a cardboard box so will stay warm longer. Takeaway only no dining in here.
