Frankie's Fish And Chip Cafe And Takeaway

What a poor experience, called in for lunch, had a Scampi chips supper and a sausage supper. When meals were bought to us I thought they had made a mistake and bought us child’s portions. Very small quantity and even the chips were Luke warm. Scandalously over priced and tiny portions. Won’t be coming back here until the portions and quality improve.

We stopped in here at the end of a long tour to see Shetland’s award-winning fish chips shop. We got the big fish chips battered, small fish chips panko-breaded and mushy peas. There were many other options on the menu for our meal, but we opted for the standards on our first visit. It was quite crowded, requiring either a reservation or takeaway, but food came out quickly. Overall, the food was pretty well-done. We’re certainly glad it’s here, upholding the classic tradition.

We were trying to find a good spot to dine on a Monday (a difficult day to find food on Shetland) and our guide to us to this great place. The seafood was fresh and we were told the owner catches fish and brings it directly to the restaurant. Me and my family shared Mussels au natural – basically with just lemon juice and parsley, juicy and buttery pan-fried scallops, nicely flavored haddock fish cakes with fries and a fried mushroom, and a baked potato with corn. Everything was on point, except for the baked potato, which arrived cold and not so easy to enjoy. They were pretty busy though, so maybe the potato temperature fell by the wayside to fulfill so many orders.

While staying at Brae I had read the reviews about this amazing fish and chip shop and decided to have lunch there and wow was the food a delight As an Australian where we have quite good fish and chips, the food here was the best ever by a country mile (Australian expression). Would recommend a visit here as a must do while in Shetland and with sea views and a car park and dining in options though book as it is very popular.

Slightly strange place, with table service finished at 6pm and takeaway 7pm. Maybe everybody eats/goes to bed early in Brae. Ended up eating our fish and chips from cardboard boxes in the car. The fish was tasty, but disintegrated from being touched, which made it...
