Dunkeld Fish Bar

Great fish shop! If you are driving through the area, stop by for some fish’n’chips. It’s nothing fancy, to say the least, but it’s great quality, clean, environment friendly and efficient. The fish is really delicious, but I didn’t quite like the fried haggis, which I found very salty… but maybe it’s supposed to be that way and I just don’t like haggis in general :-) The gluten-​free batter is a nice and rare idea, very cool!

I don’t know what kind of magic is happening in Dunkeld, but I was so pleased when my friend brought me to Dunkeld Fish Bar, where they offer gluten-​free fish and chips! As a relative newcomer to Scotland/​the UK, this was actually my first chance to eat fish and chips since arriving as it can be tricky to find gluten-​free batter on offer.
The batter looked maybe a little thinner and paler next to my gluten-​eating friends’ dishes, but was still crunchy and delightful. The fish inside was tasty and the chips were acceptable (though we did takeaway and the 15 minutes in the takeaway box might have brought them down a notch from their original glory — not the restaurant’s fault!) All in all, a great first fish and chips experience in Scotland.

Brilliant fish supper from the Dunkeld Fish Bar while staying in Perthshire on holidays.
This place has won awards for its fish and chips, and I can see why.
The shop itself is for takeaway only, is clean and well presented, and the staff are lovely.
On the walls hang various awards and letters of recommendation from happy customers. Their haggis, sausages, and burgers are all supplied from local producers.
As for our fish and chips — the chips were deliciously crips on the outside and floury on the inside with a lovely flavour. The fish was meaty, fresh, with light crispy batter. Fish & chips don’t get better than this!

These guys won an award for the quality of fish and chips that they make, they serve their food in cardboard boxes that are more environmentally friendly that the HB10’s or polystyrene hot boxes that you normally find. Great food served here highly recommended.
