I’m a Scot here on vacation and being Scottish I reckon I know a thing or two about fish suppers and I can tell you for sure that was one of the best fish and chips I’ve had. I loved the fries (we call them chips btw) and the fish and was very moist with a nice crispy batter. It was fairly busy night eventually in the cartel as it was super hot so quite a few of the carts were closed so The Frying Scotsman ended up being quite busy after a slow start.
This little spot is insanely delicious. I'm so thrilled to have stumbled across this gem of an eatery. Gluten allergy kids rejoice because they have a gluten free batter option! The cod is cooked to perfection..crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. The chips, coleslaw, and tarter sauce are the perfect complement to the star of the plate. The small but mighty food cart is located inside a food cartel that offers picnic tables to enjoy your freshly cooked meal. You can also take your food to-go if you wish. Next time you are craving fish n' chips, stop by The Frying Scotsman. It will not disappoint.
Only proper fish and chip shop in the Portland metro. The haddock ones are great. Firmer and more flavorful than the typical Atlantic cod
The fish and chips are great. The place is usually very busy, but the wait is worth it. It's a "food truck," so the atmosphere is what you'd expect. But there are tables and a small play area for kids. There's even a pet area.
I had the haddock, and it was delicious! The breading was buttery and fluffy.
Our go-to menu item is the Haddock fish n' chips. Walk right up to the cart, order, pay, and owner will tell you exactly how many minutes it will be ready. Condiments are self-added after the order comes out. The fried batter is absolutely perfect (golden color, satisfying crunchy bite if you eat it right away). Their curry dip also pairs well, just comfort food at its finest. Thank you for this experience!
My boyfriend is British and he says they have the best, most authentic fish and chips he's had since moving to America. It's always fresh and the portions are huge. Can't recommend it enough!
So good. Haddock batter was so light and perfectly done. And the chips were amazing too. Split the large with my husband (plenty of food!) and enjoyed it with a nice Pilsner at the tap house a few steps away.
Haddock was fantastic. Cod was great. Haggis was ok. Chips were on point. Fried Mars bars were delicious! Potions were huge. James was polite, helpful, and friendly. Thank you for a great wee gab! We will be back to try the mushy peas!
Omg gf fish and chips that are seriously perfect and delicious. The permed a bit gruff, although everyone had bad days so not a big deal. Absolutely delicious!
