Quick info
About Dolphin Fish & Chip Shop
Dolphin Fish & Chip Shop is a fish and chips takeaway in Aberdeen, on Old Police Station. The menu centres on the fish supper, with chips served alongside it. Mince and steak pie suppers sit next to it for anyone who wants a pie instead of fish. A double cheeseburger gives a third option. Food is cooked fresh, and customers wait at the counter for their orders while online orders are handled in the same shop.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to slow service at the counter, with waits described for a single fish supper even when the shop was nearly empty, and one says online orders seemed to take priority over customers standing in the shop. The food itself draws more praise than the speed does. Diners single out the fish and chips, the double cheeseburger, a steak pie filled with meat, white pudding and chicken breast, and a few call the fish and chips good value compared with other chippers. One regular mentions the jumbo haddock. Complaints about the food are specific. One order of scampi was called inedible, a delivered chicken breast arrived dry, poorly battered and with cold chips, and a cheeseburger came as a cold bun, thin patty and slice of cheese. Others describe a small portion of sausage and chips with mushy peas and a mince and steak pie supper that fell apart after a long delay. Several note that the shop seemed staffed by very young workers with no adult in sight. One visitor liked the outdoor benches.

“I prefer Dolphin to Fish n Hook and so does my wallet. After trying the Wee Chippy in Anstruther and Oban Fish and Chip Shop, I appreciate Dolphin even more — it was a great value fish and chips 😃”

“Went here whilst on a walk mid week. Was tasty and reasonable price. Seating on bench’s outside which was ideal as we had the dogs with us. Food was cooked fresh, took a little longer to get served but not an issue for fresh food. It was also fairly busy mid week and seemed a popular store”

“Went to the Dolphin Chipper at Hazelhead this evening ordered a mince and steak pie suppers, I was first in, asked for beeper which ended up didn’t work, went in to see if order was ready after about 10mins to be told that the steak pie wasn’t ready as either someone else got it or they forgot to put it in the fryer . at least 8 people got served after me and got their order, eventually I got my order after about 30mins, not much of an apology the pies fell apart when tried to pick it up, they did say see you again and I said I don’t think so, It was our chipper to go to. So will be looking for another Chipper.The service was very very poor, I got the impression that they didn’t work well together and was to busy chatting amongst them selves.”

“I come to dolphin on a regular basis but tonight I ordered 2 portions of scampi .. no chips.. but even my cat wouldn’t eat it ! So will be back for my Jumbo Haddock soon !”
- Katie McNutt
“Honestly the food is good and fresh but the service is slow - 25 minute wait for a fish supper - it was clear that online orders were priority and customers in the shop left waiting and forgotten. Also yes I agree with previous reviews, run by very young/teenagers no adult in sight - worrying”
