My in-laws, husband & I drove up to Oban for a night - in the evening, we were out walking along the front, in the rain !!, when the lights on attracted us to pop in for a quick snack .. we were expected for dinner a little later, but who can resist the smell of hot chips ?!? The chaps behind the counter were friendly & chatted away telling us a little about Oban & their shop. We got haggis, black pudding & a portion of chips - I know, no fish ! but the food was great & the chips brilliant. There is a pic of Rick Stein on the wall rating the fish & chips as the best so we were in good company .. we continued along the front happily munching on our take-away & resisted the urge to go back for a 2nd portion ..
Highly recommend the fish tea. Lovely meaty fish in a light batter with golden chips. First class service and clean toilets.

Explored oban today, visiting various beautiful sights around the local area, as well as checking out restaurant menus and sitting areas and their kitchens when possible.
I checked out multiple chippies, and upon entering this establishment my party of 4 all agreed this place was perfect.
The cook was preparing fresh haddock and cod when we entered, inspecting them and preparing them to be battered for incoming orders. It all seemed very sanitary and other customers food all looked very appetising.
The cook was quick to check if we're looking to get takeaway, or to sit in and eat. We of course informed him we'd be sitting in, and he informed us that we'd have to wait at least 10 minutes as the seating was full, and there was 4 of us, but we happily waited after seeing other people's food, and the way everything was being prepared.
We waited roughly 10 minutes, a couple did enter and stand infront of us seemingly hoping to be seated first, but we weren't forgotten and got sat down first.
The staff are lovely and friendly, as well as very helpful and informative, as I was unsure what the soft drink Firefly was, and also wanted to know the difference between the Haddock sizes are. A large Haddock is actually one and a half Haddock which seemed to big, so we got a single Haddock supper each.
The Haddock arrived with a perfectly light and crispy batter and the Haddock itself was fresh and meaty - absolutely perfect. It is served with a slice lemon.
The chips came perfect as well - crisp coats with a soft potato interior that had a great crunch.
The mushy peas had seemingly been seasoned and tasted really good.
