Been coming here for years. You will not find a better fresher thicker! Piece of fish in Edinburgh. Stuart ... the fryer here for years cooks them to perfection. Regardless of how busy he is hes always smiling. The girls are amazing too. The food across the board is amazing but it’s fish and chips all day long for me from this place. My brother comes from glasgow to eat from this place.
