Shack's Fish and Chips — Restaurant in Scotland

I stopped at Shacks for the first time tonight on my way back to Inverness after a long hard day. I asked the big fella behind the counter what their speciality was and he recommended the fish & chips. It did not disappoint. The fish, albeit on the smaller side, was outstanding. Moist and thick surrounded in delightful crispy batter. Unusual to find such crunchy batter these days, to often its soggy or pale. Being a little greedy I added Macaroni cheese sticks and wow, again crunchy outer with an inner that was ouzing creamy, cheesy macaroni. The chips were also expertly cooked, not over or under done, A lovely golden colour and perfectly seasoned. Simply put this meal was the dogs danglies and I will definitely be back. Thanks lads. If I can upload a picture I will to show you all the culinary delights of the Shack,...

So I am staying in the Village and I thought I'd give them a try, the reviews as you read them are somewhat spotty, some people like some don't.

The chips were the best part of it and even then they were a little over cooked. Onion rings tasted like they had been bought frozen from Iceland.

The staff (two young guys) were doing the job they were paid to, customer service was far better than some other people have described it!

Overall, like another review has said, in a village with little options (and one that appears to be wholly focused on the tourist trade) it's...

AVOID! We sat right outside the chip shop and ate our not-very-nice fish and chips, and saw one of the two young men who had served us, VAPING DIRECTLY BEHIND THE COUNTER! He wandered around and continued to vape in the area where the food was fried. There were two customers in the shop at this time, possibly their friends or family, and they vaped too!

In addition, the fish and chips we had that evening looked nothing like the photos that other reviewers have posted. Our chips had the skin on them, and was very greasy. The fish looked like a standard haddock that had been cut in half. It was half the size of any other fish we’ve ever had, and the batter was extremely greasy and weirdly smooth. Will not be back, or recommending this place to anyone, and...
