  “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 had scampi and chips which were lovely and fresh and as seen in the attached picture, my partner got a deep fried pizza!! This was definitely something new you must try. Very nice but a whole one was a bit much, we’d recommend you just get a half 🤣 overall great experience and fabulous customer service. Deffo worth a try :)”

  “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.”

  “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.”

  “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.”

  “First time experience and what can we say, fabulous atmosphere, really friendly staff and a very enjoyable experience. We sat in to eat and the food was first class and tasted as fresh as you can get. We ordered the salt and pepper squid supper and chicken goujon supper which was cooked to perfection. Portion size was spot on and nothing was left to waste. Was well worth leaving a tip (which we did) it was that good. We would definatly recommend Nories to anyone looking for a bite to eat, as you will receive fantastic service, excellent quality food and service with a smile. Thanks again Nories from Heather and Billy fae Banff.”

  “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).”

  “Staff and food were amazing ! Attentive, helpful and friendly. We ordered a one piece cod with fries each, mushy peas and two teas and we literally couldn’t believe our eyes, and our taste buds! Piping hot, super fresh, tender and delicious!! We could have shared as the portions were generous - but we managed ;) and were starving and cold! Fixed us right up! When in Oban- eat here!”

  “We enjoyed sharing the panko breadcrumbed large haddock and chips with a side of mushy peas. It came to about £25, which initially felt expensive, but it was plenty of food for the two of us, and the quality and taste was very good so overall I was happy with the price. Pros: Genuinely delicious fish. Friendly staff. Had a nice chat with the owner. There is the choice to sit in or take away. Nice fresh decor and colour scheme. Great location. Cons: A minor gripe is the single use plastic cutlery and single-serve plastic tartare sauce sachets. At 70p per 26g sachet, it felt a wee bit pricey and not environmentally friendly. I’d love to see more fish and chip shops just allowing you to help yourself to tartare sauce from a big pump dispenser container and avoid single use plastic. Overall I highly recommend this place.”

  “Nories in Oban might catch your eye with its corner location and modern look, but that’s where the positives end. The moment you walk in, the layout feels scattered and uncomfortable—your eyes don’t know where to land, and not in a good way. We ordered fish & chips and sat down to wait. When the food arrived, it was served in an open takeaway box (while dining in!), which already felt cheap. The fish looked overcooked and greasy, and when we cut into it, it crumbled apart in a thick, heavy batter. It was more oily than flavorful, and overall very disappointing. On top of that, it was expensive for what you get. The quality absolutely did not match the price tag, making it feel like a complete waste of money. As for atmosphere—there simply isn’t one. The place felt lifeless, bland, and without any warmth or character. If you’re in Oban and want a proper fish & chips experience, do yourself a favor and walk right past Nories. Just across the street and a few steps up, you’ll find Oban Fish & Chips—a far better choice with a welcoming vibe, great food, and value that actually makes sense.”
