Reviews Marco's On The Shore

The best chip shop in Arbroath is a big debate and everyone has their own opinion of which is the champion. Personally I’m split between Marcos and the Golden Haddock. We ordered tonight for delivery to Carnoustie. Delivery costs £5 out here which is on par with others. It was estimated 90 minutes but arrived after about 35. The food was all beautiful. My fish supper came with a little extra bit of fish which was fantastic (see the pic). The portion of chips was a bit disappointing, I’d probably say one of the smallest I’ve ever had as part of a supper. I had a couple of fritters ordered too, so it wasn’t too bad, however given it costs 3.30 to go from a single to supper I’d expect a decent amount of chips. My girlfriend had a half battered pizza which she said was nice. I could hear the crunch any time she bit it which is also good. Onion rings: in most chip shops across Scotland when you get onion rings, it’s those terrible frozen ones that arrive - not hear though! Proper home made onion rings that have been battered. They’re fantastic. All in all, another delicious meal and great service time. A shame about the chips, but that’s overshadowed by how excellent everything else was.

Excellent fish and chip shop in nice harbour location. We were seeking a fish and chip supper on holiday and weren't disappointed. Great food and hard working staff in a busy location. Always a good sign when a takeaway is busy... My daughter thought the ice cream shop next door was equally great!

Marco's has a lot going for it: probably the best batter I've had on fish light but still crispy keeping the fish moist, generous portions for the fish, a frying to order policy so the fish gets to you in the best condition, and very good chips. The prices are very competitive compared to other chippies in other cities. The location, on a sunny day is pretty good as well.

Come to Arbroath 2 or 3 times a year and always used the closest chip shop, we checked Google reviews and gave Marcos a try. Wow, superb fish and chips, fritters were the best. I would say this was the best fish supper I have had, I have had a lot! Kids loved the sausage and chicken, definitely our favourite chippy.

This has come a long way again, used to be my favourite chippy they hit a bit of a flop at one point but buck up to top tier fish and chips, ice cream is expensive but you get what you pay for.

Best fish supper I've ever had...go to Arbroath on holiday every year but also do the odd day trip just to get my fish, chips and tartre sauce....
