Peter's in Dumfries the big winner at Scottish Fish and Chip Awards 2024

Scotland’s finest fish and chip shops were celebrated in style at a glitzy awards event in Glasgow on november 11.

Judges for the Fish and Chip Awards travelled the length and breadth of Scotland, from Dumfries to Shetland, making unannounced visits to sample the fish suppers of entrants. Each shop was evaluated on everything from the quality of their fish, to taste, freshness, value, authenticity, innovation and more.

One of the night’s highlights was a head-to-head live fry-off among the best fish fryers, held just before the evening awards ceremony.

The ultimate winner was – Peter’s Fish and Chicken Bar in Dumfries. Other award recipients from across Scotland included Buen Appetito in Clarkston, Barassie Chippy in Troon, Bertie’s in Edinburgh, Frankie’s in Shetland, Carron Fish Bar in Stonehaven, Quintiliani’s in Larkhall, Highland Haddy in Thurso, The Kraken in East Kilbride, Tony’s Chip Shop Shawhead, Valerio’s in Lanark, Vincenzo’s in Stirling, and The Wee Chippy in Anstruther.
