Askelon09 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I'm gonna have to go with fort, HH left us all with dodgy stomachs last time we were there, new harbour was ok, but not great. Frankie's has been that much of a hit or miss (more miss than hit)I would rather drive the 30miles to town and get from the fort. never had a bad supper from them yet and the fish there wins hands down!

Frances144 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Tbh, fish and chips are becoming a luxury and saved for special occasions. It is not a cheap meal anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDB Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I had a fish supper from Frankies the other night and it was really really nice, yum yum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggywiggie Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 we can no longer eat chippy for tea due to ma partner not being able to eat well anything really (such a senstive belly bless) so i havent had from anywhere in a long time. i quite fancy one now!

tirvaluk Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Having read the reviews on here I had to try Frankies fish and chips, must say the premises were excellent but the fish and chips weren't a patch on the Fort chippie, for taste or quantity.

Colin Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Don't know about the best chip shop but there is one within spitting distance of the Douglas Arms that ripped me off yesterday and has to be about the worst. Biggest chip in the tray (honest truth) could not have been more than 1 inch long. Must have scraped the scuttle clean to get them out. Trouble is that I was home before I unwrapped them. Never again will I buy from them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Tbh, fish and chips are becoming a luxury and saved for special occasions. It is not a cheap meal anymore. Agreed. 4 fish suppers = £22 Cooked meal for 4 (meat, tatties, veg etc.) under £10 (Ok, a little more if you're extravagent). Definately a 'treat'. No Brainer. FWIW; Last time I was in Orkney I got a fish supper.Two large Haddock fillets, a huge tray of chips, a tub of beans and, a bread roll. £4.70.....

xoni Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Frankies used to undercook thier chips but they have them bag on now and they win for me, i used to love the fort but the last few times ive been there thier fish has had a perculiar taste , I know it sounds odd but it actually tasted like stagnant sea water..I sent it back twice but then began thinking it was my taste buds, wonder if anyone else has had this experiance?

Noodeyn Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 we went to Frankies when it first opened and we both ordered a chicken supper, however they came without batter??? I thought it being battered was the norm and if requested you could have it without? Havnt been back although it was very good but we missed the batter.

paulb Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 try a chippy south they are massive compared to what you get down there. also even if you were to do it at home most fish is around £10 per kg. so its not massively over priced.

roadrunner Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Had a Frankies tonight, fish supper was bloody good but could have counted the chips in tray. Could have more for what u pay. In the toon den Fort wins hands down, always fresh fish and good portion. You don't come away hungary from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
