New Shanghai

New Shanghai trades from Cross Street in central Tayport, the small Fife fishing village on the south Tay shore connected to Dundee by the Tay Road Bridge. It is a dual-line Chinese-and-chippy operation rather than a single-line takeaway — fast Cantonese-style cooking sitting alongside traditional fish and chips through the same fryers and woks — which is fairly common for small-village Scottish operators where a single shop has to cover both cuisines for the residential catchment. Cantonese sweet-and-sour chicken and salt-and-pepper chips are the dishes that turn up most often in customer reviews. The shop runs collection and delivery rather than sit-in dining. It trades a Tuesday-through-Sunday pattern with a Monday closed day and short evening service. New Shanghai shares the small Tayport catchment with Tayport Chinese on Castle Street and Zara Balti House on Elizabeth Street, and pulls most of its trade from the residential streets immediately around the central village.
