Ullapool’s Deli-ca-sea chippy among multiple Ross finalists for national fish supper awards
Ullapool, Black Isle and Contin chippies are among the finalists for the Scottish Fish and Chip Awards 2025.
The awards recognise excellence across dozens of categories, including Best Fish Supper, Best Family Business, Best Menu, Customer Service, and the highly sought-after title of Best Chip Shop.
Some of the Highland chippies nominated include:
• Tarradale Chippy and Auld Sweetie Shop, Muir of Ord
• The Smiddy Chippy, Contin
• Deli-ca-sea Fish and Chip Shop, Ullapool
• Harbour Fish and Chips, Avoch
• The Seaforth, Ullapool
David Mackenzie, who co-owns the Deli-ca-sea chippy with his wife Mairi, said: “Both Mairi and I are just floored to have made the finals! It’s just incredible! A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for us.”
Awards Director Warren Paul of Paramount Creative said the competition showcases the “best of the best” in Scottish food culture.
“Fish and chips and the chip shop culture is ingrained deep within the Scots lifestyle,” he said. “Fast, affordable, nutritious food from the best fish and chip shops is a tradition, a convenience and at times it can be a lifeline for struggling families.”
“We are proud of the phenomenal food coming out of Scottish chip shops every single day and night, that’s why these awards exist.”
Judges will now visit all finalists before the gala final on November 10 at the Doubletree by Hilton in Glasgow, where the winners will be crowned.
