Frankie's Fish & Chips in Brae, Shetland, has been named one of the best fish and chip shops in Scotland by Time Out magazine.
A remote Scottish island is home to one of the best fish and chip shops in Scotland . For lovers of a good fish supper, the options in Scotland can be overwhelming. Across the country, there's a seemingly endless list of restaurants and takeaways that locals swear are the best. According to the Daily Record, Time Out, a renowned travel magazine, recently named the top three fish and chip shops in Scotland .
The three chippies recognized were the Anstruther Fish Bar in Anstruther, Fochabers Fish Bar in Moray, and Frankie's Fish & Chips in Shetland. The latter is one of the most remote fish and chip shops in all of Scotland. Frankie's Fish & Chips can be found in the village of Brae on Shetland's Mainland, roughly 23 miles from the island's capital town of Lerwick. This café and takeaway is the UK's most northerly fish and chip shop, and it sources sustainable Shetland seafood. Since first opening its doors in 2008, it consistently draws visitors from across Scotland and beyond. This award-winning chippy offers a varied menu that includes classic chippy fare like chip butties, smoked haddock, and scampi. It also features mussels, burgers, pizzas, and even a soup of the day. Time Out wrote: 'Not only is Frankie’s Fish & Chips the UK’s most northerly fish and chip shop, it’s also one of its best. Sourcing premium and sustainable Shetland seafood, this spot was set up in the bucolic village of Brae to provide locals and tourists with the ultimate chippy experience.' Frankie's Fish & Chips has also earned acclaim from the public. The chippy currently has an average rating of 4.6 out of five based on 914 reviews. One recent visitor wrote: 'Food was excellent and the staff were very friendly. There were a range of typical fish and chips meal options as well as fresh shellfish also.' Another shared: 'It was so good we had to go twice. Definitely one of the best fish and chips we ever had.' Meanwhile, a third posted: 'Absolutely fantastic fish and chips. I traveled here all the way from New Zealand because I heard that these are undoubtedly the best fish and chips on Earth. I was not lied to. Frankie's should be the Scottish capital.' Elsewhere in Brae, there is plenty else to see and do despite its small size. The town is also home to the Mid Brae Inn, which serves up both traditional pub food and a range of beers and other drinks. Meanwhile, nearby attractions include the Tangwick Haa Museum and the Mavis Grind. The former is a great place to learn more about the fascinating history of the local area, while the Mavis Grind is a narrow stretch of land that joins the northwest of Mainland Shetland with the south and is perfect for a hike.
