Finally found the best fish & chips here in Glasgow. Hard to say after searching for ages. You will also understand that Merchant Chippie’s probably the healthiest of them all. (You’ll understand once you visit the place and eat). The curry sauce absolute banger! And yea their strawberry tart is really amazing. The chips tastes nice and soft! Highly recommended, any day if you’re in Glasgow!

My go-to chippie in Glasgow! The haddock is always fresh and perfectly crispy—especially love the breaded version. Generous portions, great quality, and consistently delicious. Only slight gripe is the 0.40 charge per packet of tartar sauce, but honestly, everything else more than makes up for it!

The best chipper I have had and that includes many ranging from Aberdeen down to London. Super friendly, considerate service and the Haddock was delicious. Curry is the British Chinese style curry and is a perfect replica. Battered sausage - one of the best juicy sausages in light batter. Highest recommendation!

Fish was great! Deep fried Mars bar was a first - if you love warm, gooey chocolate you can't go wrong with it! Piping hot mushy peas. Lots of regulars came through while I was there. Simple vibe, solid fish!

Best fish and chips I've had in many years. Although most customers seemed to opt for takeaway, there are 5 or 6 very adequate tables available by the large windows for sit-in. Staff are helpful, friendly, and efficient. Quality of the food is truly excellent. Shop is bright and clean. Price was reasonable. Overall a great experience and highly recommended.
