A quest for the perfect fish and chips - The Station

The Station - Haymarket
Across the road from the newly refurbished Haymarket, I sampled a fine fish and chip supper on a banter filled trip for dinner. The staff were good fun and offered to keep my food warm while my friends meals were being prepared.
The chips were quite crisp which I liked as was the fish. Not as flavoursome as you would get on the coast, however this is the centre of Edinburgh.
For £6, it was not as cheap as last weeks disaster but on average the food was better quality and the banter at The Station more than made up for the extra cost.
On average:
7/10

A quest for the perfect fish and chips - Derya Kebab

Derya Kebab - Dalry
Although not strictly a traditional fish and chips venue, I decided to sample the offerings in Dalry.
The staff did not seem that friendly while preparing my food and even tried to charge me twice for the poor offering.

The chips were a soggy and flimsy affair that were quite tasteless. I could have bought a similar quality fish out of Farmfoods and made it taste better! It was a breaded fish similar to one bought out of a supermarket that they made the bizarre decision to throw in a deep fat fryer.
At £4.50 I really should have asked my money back, but decided to sample the goods for the purposes of this review
On average:
1/10
