A quest to find the perfect Fish and Chips - The Harbour

The Harbour Takeaway, Port Seton
Price: £6.00 (Supper)
On a fine winters afternoon, we set off to Port Seton to try out this well known and popular chip shop.  I have only ever passed through here on the bus so this was a little adventure.

The shop is a little cafe near the harbour that sells fish and chip suppers.  While a little cramped, we were able to sit in and enjoy the unique decoration in the shop.  It seems to be a meeting place for a few of the older generation as we discovered as we had to share condiments with them.  The staff were very friendly and offered to open up a fresh packet of biscuits when Ryan went back for pudding.

My fish was delicious.  A little flaky and the batter was just right.  We sat in for this one so it was nicely served on a plate with a slice of lemon to squeeze over it.  The chips were quite flavoursome and definitely worth the effort to go back here.  What often makes a dish is the sauce and vinegar that you put on it and the vinegar here was delicious.

If I was passing through Port Seton again, I would definitely go back.

On average:
8/10
