About The Fry Inn

On E Church St in Buckie, The Fry Inn is a fish and chips takeaway with a sit-in restaurant area offering table service alongside counter ordering. Fish and chips are cooked to order, with chips fried in beef dripping. The fish supper comes with a side salad, and a Chip Butty sits on a menu of around 80 dishes. Curry sauce is available on the side, and extras such as extra bread or mushy peas are charged separately from the meal price. It opens Monday to Saturday and closes on Sundays, taking walk-ins rather than reservations.

Customer Review Summary

Most reviewers return again and again to the haddock and chips, describing it as fresh, flaky, and moist with crispy batter, and several call it among the best fish suppers they've had. Chips draw praise too, hot and freshly fried, though a couple of diners found portions "terrible" or the chips not quite hitting the spot. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and happy, with clean tables noted by one visitor. But complaints recur around portion size and value: one reviewer describes soggy batter with a watery curry, another says the fish was mostly batter, and a detailed account describes a £14 fish tea with a "handful" of chips, a token side salad, a single slice of bread, being charged 85p for an extra slice, and an upset stomach afterward attributed to greasy fish. Despite this, the dominant thread remains satisfaction, with one diner saying it restored their faith in fish and chips.
