The Dolphin Takeaway

The Dolphin is something of an institution in Dungannon town, a traditional chippy that has picked up serious national recognition — it was named Northern Ireland's Best Fish and Chip Shop at the National Fish & Chip Awards in 2016, 2017 and 2018. That pedigree shows in the basics done well: a proper Haddock Supper in crisp, light batter, hand-cut chips, and even a dedicated gluten-free fish option that keeps coeliac customers coming back.

It carries a Google rating of 4.3/5, with reviewers regularly calling it among the best fish and chips they have had in Ulster, though a few find it busy at peak times. Sitting right in the heart of town, it is an easy walk-in for shoppers and workers looking for a quick, satisfying lunch or an evening supper. For anyone who judges a takeaway by how well it fries a fresh fillet, The Dolphin remains a benchmark in this part of County Tyrone.
