Joes Fish Bar

Joe's Fish Bar is one of the better-regarded independent chippies on the Strathmartine corridor, trading from a busy unit on the residential stretch of Strathmartine Road in the Coldside / Maryfield area. The shop runs as a full Scottish chippy with a bolted-on pizza-and-burger menu — fish suppers, sausages, pies, fish cakes, scampi and the deep-fried staples on the chippy side, with a pizza, kebab and burger list and a separate chocolate-and-confectionery line for the evening crowd.

Trading hours run a long late-afternoon-to-late-evening stretch, with collection from the immediate Strathmartine closes alongside an online ordering site and an Uber Eats delivery feed. Reviews on Tripadvisor, Yelp and the aggregator pages sit around the four-out-of-five mark, with the fish picked out for its consistently fresh batter and the chips for the size of the portions; counter service is described as friendly and the shop as clean and well-run. For DD3 households between the city centre and Downfield it is one of the default chippy options at the mid-end of the local price range, and one of the busier shops on the Strathmartine corridor.
