A quest to find the perfect Fish and Chips - Central

Central, Potterrow
Price: £6.80 (Supper)
A brief walk from the centre of town took us to the Central chip shop.  We had seen this on our outing to Marchmont so decided to revisit.  I had heard great things about the Edinburgh Chip Shop sauce from this place.

The shop needs a little spruced up as the seating and decoration was past its best.  There was an old TV on the wall that looked a little broken and a model ship that provided something to look at.  My food was served by a man who gave little to no chat and took ten minutes to serve my food in a polystyrene tray.  It was efficient, but not exactly the most pleasant experience I have had.

A discount is offered at lunch time, so if you are in the area, it is worth a visit.  They do sell bottles of their famous Edinburgh Sauce
for £1.60 a bottle.  They are served by Just Eat.

My fish was one of the most delicious that I have had.  It was not too flaky and a little bit meaty.  The chips were a close match to my second rated chippy L'Alba Doras.  One thing that made the food a magnitude better was the vinegar.  I've found that the vinegar can either break or make a meal but this place has learned that lesson long ago.

All in all, if you want to go for some delicious food in the centre of town and do not care about the decoration or what the chat is like then this is the place for you!
