Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon on Fintry Road is a long-established local chip shop within the Fintry housing scheme on the north-eastern flank of Dundee, not a branch of the Glasgow-and-central-belt Blue Lagoon chain despite sharing the trading name. The shop runs a Chinese carry-out and fryer-shop hybrid — fish suppers, chip suppers, haggis, pies and the standard chippy core alongside a chow mein, chop suey, curry-sauce and special-fried-rice Chinese menu. That kind of split-board operation is common in the older Fintry parade where the small shopping cluster has to cover the full takeaway trade of the scheme rather than support multiple specialists. Customer feedback runs to the middle of the road on Restaurant Guru — the value-and-portion end of the trade lands well, while the slower-night freshness draws the usual chip-shop criticism. The shop trades the long midday-to-late-evening pattern rather than the evening-only Chinese carry-out shift. Catchment is the immediate Fintry housing, the Findcastle and Forfar Road bus-route trade and the Cheviot Crescent residential streets.
