Fish And Chips at the Wee Hurrie


Once in a while I like fish and chips...when living down south in Eastbourne I was partial to plaice and chips from the Sovereign Fish Bar in Beatty Road...the owners family originated from Hong Kong which might have had some influence with the light batter which enhanced the fresh fish...yum...Of course wrapped in paper...

Since being up here in the south west coast of Scotland I have sampled a few establishments...the variety of seafood in these chippies varies immensely from whats merely described as a "fish supper"...which I was informed by a sign within was always haddock unless unavailable to be replaced by whiting...On the other end of the scale I think I've found my favourite place for fish and chips albiet a 20 minute drive to Troon Harbour...

Called the Wee Hurrie...I think I can say this is best fish and chips I've ever had..only cooked to order... in tempura batter...presented in a box with tartar sauce lemon and plastic cutlery...they never make it back home as they cool too quick and are consumed in the adjoining car park whilst looking at the seals in the harbour or out to the Isle Of Arran...

The menu is so varied...so tonight was fish and chips night...I asked what fritto misto on the blackboard menu consisted of and was told a mixture of haddock cod sea bass sole and salmon...mmm maybe next time I thought and had my usual sole goujons chips and tartare sauce...which was naturally consumed in the car park...yummy...
