This famous Shetland chippie uses only locally sourced and sustainable seafood. As well as chip-shop standards, the menu runs to tasty Shetland mussels in garlicky sauces and, when available, plump juicy scallops. It also does breakfast rolls, baked potatoes and fry-ups. Eat in, out on the deck with views over the bay, or take away.
