Fishacre Chip Shop

Fisheracre Chip Shop trades from the Fisheracre — the short street off Brothock Bridge that runs in toward the Brothock Burn, on the inland side of central Arbroath. The shop is a hybrid chippy/kebab/pizza house in the format that has become standard for east-coast Scottish takeaways, with a fish-and-chips counter at the front and a kebab grill and pizza station behind. It also operates publicly as Fisheracre Chip Shop & Kebab House on Facebook.

The fryer-side menu is led by haddock and chips with the local preference for crisp golden batter — a point reviewers single out — alongside the usual smoked sausage, white pudding, haggis and battered pies that characterise a Scottish chippy. The kebab side runs to doner, shish and chicken-shawarma wraps, and the pizza section is the late-night order: stuffed-crust options and big-tray sizes for delivery. The shop accepts online orders through Foodhub and the in-house website, and busy trade builds through the early evening before the kebab and pizza orders take over later.

Reviews are mixed — typical for a high-volume hybrid takeaway — but the freshness of the fish and the size of the portions are consistently flagged as the positives, and the shop is a known late-night option for the central Arbroath terraces around the burn.
