Morton's Fish & Chips

Down by the harbour in Ballycastle, Morton's is the kind of chippy locals point visitors towards when the question of supper comes up. The fryers turn out proper crisp-battered Fish And Chips alongside the usual seaside favourites, and the kitchen keeps a dedicated gluten-free fryer on the go, so coeliac diners can tuck into the same golden plates without worry. Sea air, fresh fish and that unmistakable smell of hot chips make it a natural stop after a stroll along the seafront.

It is a genuinely well-regarded spot, rated 4.2/5 by Google reviewers, and it also holds a Good Food Hygiene Rating from the local council, which is reassuring when you are grabbing food to eat on the move. Portions are generous and the batter draws particular praise, though it stays a no-frills takeaway at heart rather than a sit-down restaurant. For honest, fresh fish suppers in this corner of the Causeway Coast, it remains a dependable choice.
