Fish and chips eaten out of the paper by the sea is one of the simplest and best pleasures of a Scottish holiday. Fish landed that morning, batter that crackles, chips that are actually hot, and a seat on the harbour wall with the gulls circling overhead. Some of these places have been doing it for generations and haven't changed a thing.
We've rounded up our favourite fish and chip shops across Scotland, from harbour-town institutions to newer places doing it with better oil and lighter batter.
