But if you can't make it to the coast then don't despair.
Scotland boasts some top-notch chip shops all across the country.
Here's a look at some of the very best, according to experts at Larder Mag.
Landy's Fish and Chips, Edinburgh Old Town
This retro-chic chippy brings all the charm of the coast right into the heart of the capital.
The team at Landy's prides itself on serving up "proper fish and chips", made the traditional way.
Their fresh, flaky fish is fried to crispy perfection in their signature beef dripping, served golden with piping hot chips.
And for those fancying something different, they also offer baked, Cajun spiced and even vegan options.
You can also tuck into their tapas-inspired treats, including haggis spring rolls, a black pudding Scotch egg and even deep-fried pizza crunch.
Dune, St Andrews
Owned by Master Chef finalist Dean Banks, Dune's menu is described as a "celebration of the sea, built around the finest local seafood and guided by what's freshest each day."
It boasts a more up-market take on chippy scran - offering the likes of a scoop of oscietra caviar, octopus hotdogs and mackerel schnitzel.

And its catch of the day is served with a variety of delicious options including seaweed tartare, curry sauce, peas and triple-cooked chips.
Or for those who love something a little extra, Dune serves their lobster roll for £12.
In fact, the roll, which is served from their outdoor hach, is loved so much by locals that it has become a "cult classic".
Bertie's, Edinburgh Old Town
Another chippy that impresses in Edinburgh is Bertie's, which is located in the Old Town.
It has become a go-to among locals and visitors who love a good classic fish and chips dish.
Not only is their battered haddock delicously flaky yet crunchy at the same time, but it is served with perfectly cooked chunky chips.
The experts say it is a bright, bustling spot in the heart of the buzzing city, which does justice to the classic meal.
The Jigger Inn, St Andrews
St Andrews is one place in Scotland that is known for its high-quality fish and chip shops.
The picturesque setting and being right on the harbour make it the perfect spot to enjoy a traditional fish supper.
And being located near the 17th hole of the iconic Old Course, The Jigger Inn is no different.
But what really makes it stand out is that they have their own recipe for their batter.
It is made with their own Jigger Ale, which is their special brew that is created for the pub by Belhaven Brewery, and it's only available here.
The Grahamston, Glasgow
This all-day chippy brings a quirky, contemporary edge to traditional Scottish fish and chips.
Their menu is served all day and includes incredibly tasty dishes like a thick-cut, crispy, battered haddock fillet.
Even though it costs £18, the standout dish is served with minted peas and tartare sauce.
And it's perfect for any type of visit - whether you're stopping quickly for some grub or you want to sit and dine in, this chippy has everything you need.
Ochil's Arms, Dollar
There's nothing better after a walk through the country than stopping in a cosy, country pub for delicious food.
And there's no better place for that than Ochil's Arms, which is located at the bottom of the Ochil Hills.
This welcoming pub is known for being ideal for both families looking to enjoy some classic fish and chips as well as hikers looking to fill their bellies with hearty food.
It has a relaxed, rural vibe and locals and visitors alike love its fresh haddock, which has a batter that is made using their house Ochils Lager.
This lager is brewed for the pub specifically for the pub and is only available in the venue.

The American diner serving burgers bigger than Llandudno's Great Orme
Towering high above Llandudno, the Great Orme, occupies one of North Wales most spectacular sites and views. I was hoping to find a similar rugged, foreboding pinnacle on Gloddaeth Street in Llandudno, as someone had told me that Dinos, served mountains of meat, which were just as difficult to conquer? Dinos Llandudno is a big and brash American diner and takeaway, which offers deluxe burgers bigger than your head. So, if your eyes are bigger than your stomach, then this could be the place for you. Dinos ranks high in the Trip Advisor ratings, but surprisingly has no American stars and stripe's theme with the inside décor. Instead, it is simply decorated with basic turquoise and pink walls. Despite its central location, the venue was relatively quiet when we visited. Dinos is obviously burger barmy but the saliva-inducing menu has various other options from across the pond such as chicken wings, shakes and pizza. There are lots of turkey rashers and barbeque sauce on the menu as you might expect, with toppings drawing largely on American Ranch influences, with enough cheese to sink a ship. Every type of burger is listed here. From, simple American style burgers with gherkins and American mustard for £11, to a massive Welsh dragon burger, food challenge, which involves two x 16oz Welsh lamb burgers and enough chili sauce to blow your socks off for £34. There were about twenty-three burgers listed on the menu, with all kinds of strange names such 'Heart Attack' 'Angry Bird' 'King Kong' or the patriotic 'Snowdon Mountain' burger. There were charcoal cooked chicken burgers such as the 'Bob Marley' burger or Cajun spiced and even a tandoori version. Although, I still think they were missing a trick by not having a 'Great Orme' burger. When it comes to burgers, there are some who think, less is more, and even though I didn't see any 'Smash Burgers' on the list? I did notice that there were a couple of Welsh Lamb burgers, which didn't include any sauces or cheese, so that you could get the full taste of the meat. The pizza list was just as big with over twenty-four choices such as 'Cajun sizzler' 'Hot Mexico' or 'Spicy Italian', all fairly self-explanatory with their ingredients. Grilled meals included various versions of chicken and there were a few healthy salads on offer for people who were counting the calories. I decided to leave the diet until tomorrow and went for the 'King Burger', which was an 8oz cheese burger with Parmesan cheese and a Caesar dressing. We were told by the waitress that we could add a meal deal, which meant French fries or Potato Wedges with a can of pop for £5 extra or you could add a fresh milkshake and your choice of fries or wedges for £7 extra. I couldn't resist and it was good to have an attentive service from a waitress, who didn't judge us for our guilty food choices. The burger was a plump, well- shaped pillow and the seeded bun was sturdy enough not to fall apart in my hands. There were three extra crunchy onion rings placed on the top of a skewer, which was delicately holding the whole thing together. The burger was smoothed in cheese with a primal, charred exterior but was soft and succulent inside. My wife went for her cheese burger to be concealed in a wrap. The results were surprisingly different and delicious, with her version tasting a bit like a big juicy burger kebab. The burger was cut into half and squeezed into the wrap with some salad and a burger sauce. The fries were presented in a mini chip pan fryer and were very morish indeed. The milkshake section was also extra-large and included all the usual suspects along with flavours such as Kinder Bueno, Peanut Butter, Oreo and Nutella. I completed my American dream with a thick and delicious snickers version, which tasted like caramel, peanut butter and chocolate at the same time. Desserts included USA inspired things like New Yorker Cheesecake, Chocolate Fudge Cake or Cookie Dough ice cream. We also saw a fine-looking Chocolate Pizza, which I am sure the kids would enjoy. Talking of big kids, I was still slurping my thick milkshake, topped with a flake, long after the burger had been digested whilst my more sensible wife sipped her simple Americano. Dinos food is also available for takeaway via the just eat app, and there is just as much choice on there, including melting meatballs, dirty fries, and various chicken bites, nuggets and strips. We decided to walk off our burgers with a stroll along the prom and the pier and by vowing not to eat again for at least 24 hours. Dinos Llandudno offers an American dining experience that keeps customers coming back for more. How can you resist a big plate of delicious carbs and sugar? If you like American classics, such as sloppy burgers, loaded fries and pizzas bigger than a dustbin lid, then you certainly won't be disappointed eating at Dinos. The Facts King Burger £11.00 (Milkshake meal deal) £7 Flake 50p Cheese Burger wrap £11.00 Americano £3.00 Total £32.50 Opening Times: Monday\u00094pm–9:30 pm Tuesday\u0009Closed Wednesday\u00094pm–9:30 pm Thursday\u00094pm–9:30 pm Friday. 4pm–10 pm Saturday\u000912pm–10 pm Sunday\u00094pm–9:30 pm Atmosphere- Despite its central location, the venue was relatively quiet. Car Parking- Some limited street parking nearby. Disabled Access- Some steps into venue and toilet. Plenty of room inside. Service- Attentive service from a waitress who didn't judge us on our guilty food choices. Overall- The American diner serving burgers bigger than the Great Orme, Llandudno.

Why this pub with over 1000 whiskies is Glasgow's top-rated
The Pot Still on Hope Street has operated in some shape or form since 1867 and has had a number of families at its helm. The Murphys, who are the location's current owners, have been involved in the bar since 2003, taking full control in 2011. Since then, the establishment has gone on to win both the Scottish Dram Awards' Whisky Bar of the Year accolade and Scottish Field magazine's Whisky Bar of the Year Award in 2016, according to The Pot Still's website. The Pot Still (Image: Tripadvisor) Why this iconic Glasgow pub with 'mind-blowing selection' of whiskies is the city's top-rated The pub in the heart of Glasgow has received heaps of praise from pubgoers, with users on Tripadvisor giving it a 4.7/5 out of 1322 reviews. Discussing the bar, one visitor said: "Mind-blowing selection of malt whiskies. Very, very busy but quite rightly so. "Good to hear Glasgow voices mixed with tourists from all over the world, and no music or TV pumping out media garbage. Exactly how a pub should be, please don't ever change." The Pot Still in Glasgow has operated in some form since the 19th century (Image: Tripadvisor) Recommended Reading: A second patron penned: "The Pot Still is hands down one of the best whisky bars in Glasgow! With an incredible selection of whiskies from all over Scotland (and beyond), it's a must-visit for both whisky lovers and those just starting their journey. "The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of character—exactly what you'd hope for in a proper Scottish pub."
