The Bay Fish & Chips in Stonehaven

"Fantastic fish and chips which tasted amazing. There was a considerable queue on a sunny bank holiday Saturday evening which is always a good sign. It was very organised with the staff knowing how to manage such a busy establishment. Our fish and chips were great and drinks and condiments were very up market for a chip shop. A lovely area to visit on a sunny day, I would highly recommend."

"Fish & Chips Worth Having! Excellent place, high quality food and breath taking location to make the most of your trip because of the care and consideration they put in their food. Definitely the best fish and chips. The tartar sauce and mushy peas were equally outstanding. Throughly loved and enjoyed every bite. Due to busy period all the seats were taken so ate it in the car. There are other benches nearby. Parking is available nearby but if a busy day then may struggle."

"First chipper I've ever been to and it'd be hard pressed to beat The Bay. The batter was excellent, the haddock was light and tender, fried to perfection. The chips were quite large. I got a standard and it was more than enough for me. We also got a steak pie and it was excellent. So good I would consider getting it on its own if I wasn't in a fish mood. It was a long line, but it moved quickly. Perfect sunny warm day in Scotland as well made for an incredible atmosphere in the bay. 10/10"

"Had fish supper from here tonight. Lovely meaty fish in crunchy/crisp batter. Chips fluffy inside, with no excess grease in box. Girls serving, polite and processing online orders and customers in shop in a well organised order. Best chip shop in Stonehaven."

"Freshly cooked fish and chips. I love the fact you can see the boat the fish was caught on. Haddock only as it’s more sustainable but portion sizes are quite small."

"My daughter and I popped by mid week at an off peak time. I’ve tried before but there can be a queue. I enjoyed our fish and chips, it was certainly better than most, but it was also very expensive. It also took along time to get served despite it being quiet."

"I do have to admit that's the best-tasting fish and chips that I've ever had. Of course I couldn't wait to eat it before I took my picture."

"During our trip to the coast, our group stumbled upon a charming fish and chip shop that left a lasting impression. The restaurant doesn’t offer indoor seating, so be prepared to queue—but trust me, the wait (about 15 minutes for us) is absolutely worth it. The fish was outstanding: crispy on the outside, tender and flaky inside, cooked to perfection. And the tartar sauce? A revelation—creamy, tangy, and full of flavor. Even one member of our group who follows a vegan diet found a satisfying option, which speaks to the shop’s thoughtful menu. There are outdoor seating areas available, perfect for enjoying your meal in the fresh sea air. Just across the road, there’s a large public parking lot, making access easy. Best of all, the view from the restaurant is stunning—you can gaze out over the sea while savoring your food. It’s the kind of place that turns a simple meal into a memorable moment."
