The Viking

This is the famous «The Viking» fish bar… which won «Best Fish and Chips in Scotland» quite a while ago now, and you can tell. I’ve heard that the ownership changed hands soon after they won the award.
The food is nice enough for a chippy, but not deserving of any awards. If you come here expecting to have the best fish and chips you’ve ever had, I’m afraid you will be sorely disappointed.
They do now sell mushy peas, but at the extortionate price of £1.20 for a tub! The fish supper was £4.20 when I had it, and it was quite nice, however the fish was small, especially by typical Scottish chippy standards.

The Viking is Largs’s main chip shop attraction. Situated on the front across from the water, the delicious smell of deep fried goodness is carried on the wind and you are powerless to resist.
Chip suppers in here are around 4 pounds which is about average these days, but as far as fast food goes they are a really high quality and you are speedily served. They have a wide variety of fried shizz and the fish is sea fresh and scrummy!
If you’re hungry and your rumbling tummy is calling out to be fed, you can’t miss this place. With the 5 foot Viking figure acting as a bouncer outside the door, you can get your picture taken by him while tucking in to a tasty bag of chips.
A sign on their door boasts that The Viking holds world records in speedy service — apparently they once served 12,000 suppers in one day! With the lightning quick service and satisfying food, I’m not surprised this place is always busy and never disappoints.
