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.
