About Nories

On George St in Oban, Nories is a fish and chips takeaway run by the same family for years, serving haddock, large haddock and cod alongside haggis and other quick eats from a menu of 56 dishes. Alongside the usual fried fish, the counter also does a deep-fried cheeseburger with no bun. Chips come with curry sauce or mushy peas, and portions are large enough that a single order of chips can cover two people. There's no alcohol on the premises, though customers can bring their own from nearby shops. Seating inside is limited and depends on finding a free table, and food sometimes comes out in a takeaway box even for those eating in. It opens daily on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken, and dogs are welcome in the shop.

Customer Review Summary

Most reviewers return for the haddock, repeatedly praised as perfectly fried and fresh, with one traveler calling their fish and chips the best they'd had; the panko breadcrumbed large haddock and a one piece cod with fries also draw specific praise for arriving piping hot and tender. Portions run generous, with several noting the chips or sides are big enough to share, though one diner found the £25 shared haddock meal initially felt expensive. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, greeting visitors and checking on their holiday. Against this, one reviewer reports notably unfriendly, antagonistic service and singles out the cheeseburger as inedible, deep fried patty and all, while another separately found their fish greasy and overcooked, served in an open takeaway box while dining in, and felt the price didn't match the quality. One reviewer's practical tip: when the menu says cheeseburger, expect it deep fried rather than served in a bun.

    “We’re visiting from the midlands for a week away and thought we’d try out a chippy. We were greeted by the staff as soon as we got in and they were so kind and polite, asking about our holiday and making sure we got our takeaway quickly. I …”

    “Not much seating space in store but if you catch it at a good time to get a table you can dine in. The fish and chips we had here was the best we have ever had hands down. We also got two sides of curry sauce and mushy peas, I would say you would only need one side to share between a few people as the pots of sides are quite big. The fish however was absolutely delicious, perfectly fried. We have had lots of fish and chips across our travels and we are from Australia where seafood is pretty high quality. We came here as a party of five and each tried fish as-well as the seafood box. 10/10 recommend.”
  • Patrick Sweeney
    “This is your best choice for fish and chips while you are in Oban. Perfectly prepared. We had the haddock and it was excellent. If you are dining with someone else, you might wish to only get one serving of chips since the offering is quite generous. No alcohol is available, however you can bring your own into the restaurant ( two places near the restaurant that sell drinks).”
  • Thomas Walach
    “Service was really unfriendly bordering on antagonistic. The lady apologized when I asked why that was: "Long day" and so on. Food: Fish was alright, chips not crispy, "cheesburger": probably the worst food I've ever seen. Patty still deep fried, buns horrible... see picture. Granted, you might not expect much from a burger in a fish & chips shop, but if it's on the menue it must at least be edible. There are much better places nearby.”
  • Isaac Huether
    “Awesome place! Really quick service. Was able to walk there and get back to the ferry in under 30 minutes. People were very nice as well. Pro tip. When they say cheeseburger, they mean deep fried, not with a bun.”
