What Richydev doesn't like about Monster Fish And Chip Co Loch Ness:
Just another cog-in-the-wheel of the enormous tourist-machine, that Scotland has become, in the last 20 years. In this case, the erroneous fairy tale of ghe Loch Ness Monster. ....OK, putting that asside, the chips are NOT cut on-site and you will not get a 'please ' or 'thankyou ', from the emotionless girl on the till, just; here 's your change, just wait over there . The cod chips itself was fine, edible and at £9... View all feedback.

We arrived for a lunch of fish chips at that the same time a whole bus load of tourists arrived. The service was efficient and food was hot and fairly fast.

Nestled amid the bustle of Fort William, this fish and chip eatery offers fresh, sizable portions that leave some diners satisfied. However, customer service leaves much to be desired, with reports of inattentive staff, rude interactions, and a concerning lack of understanding regarding dietary restrictions. While the food receives praise for its freshness and quality, the steep prices and occasional unprofessionalism deter visitors. For travelers seeking a quick bite, it may be best to explore other options in town to avoid the pitfalls of this buzz-worthy yet controversial establishment.

Gosh very good firm flesh, tasty batter and not greasy. Fast service to takeaway. A late but pricey though and not enough chips.
