Love the fish and chips and as well as the meat pies from this place! Wish they made their own tartar sauce though.

Thank you very much Phil M. for reviewing this place so I can give Haggis a try without going overseas. What you're missing out on is the new Menu item, Deep Fried Oreos with 2 scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream. From the selection of a few St. Andrews Lunch Specials($6.45), I chose Haggis & Chips.
It was a bit on the small portion but I'm not sure what the Market Value of the Modern Haggis is actually. For that price, it's actually very acceptable for someone new to this specialty item to get a taste of Scottish/British Cuisine. For those not doing a taste test, it's a bit small so you'll have to go with the regular A La Carte or Dinner size.
This place as it is named is set in British setting with wooden furniture and photos of St. Andrews Golf Course along with Golf Clubs on the top walls.
Back to the Modern Haggis, it is not what a rookie Haggis eater would envision as similar to how Sausages used to be in Intestine casing but now in artificial casing, so is the new style Haggis. My Haggis came deep-fried and inside was finely chopped pieces of various Sheep internal goodness. It's sheep because my friend knows that flavour anywhere and not for her.
It was strongly flavoured with Black Pepper and from my little knowledge it tasted similar to fillings in Meat Pies obviously the difference is the ingredients. Treat it like a Deep-Fried Haggis Sausage with A-OK Fries.
The Deep Fried Oreos($4.25) was done in a similar Batter as the Fish so it has a slight savoury flavour to it but I enjoy it as it tasted like a soft Chocolate Cake batter inside the Fried Batter. Everything goes well with Vanilla Ice Cream. Btw, they have Deep Fried Mars Bar as well.Listed in: Plenty o' Fish

St Andrews Fish and Chips is located in one of those strip in Scarborough. I have been shopping at the Global Pets next door for a few years and I never even notice its existence...
My fellow yelper said let's try Fish and Chips... hmmm You know I don't like Deep Fried food too much or non Asian food... but what the heck!
I am happy that I have lunch here, not only it has reasonably priced lunch specials $6.45 each. The fish is coated in a light batter, deep fried to golden crispy colour, It is not too oily and not fishy for sure.
My advice is don't order the soup.. the clam chowder is the canned type.
The Deep Fried Oreos with ice cream for sure is a nice surprise! Yummmmy!
Now I know where to go if I have cravings for some Fish and Chips and of course deep fried desserts!!
They accepts all credit cards. -

Simple place, great food, big portions and cheap prices. Definitely a must for anyone that is Scottish, that is the cultural theme of this place. The menu reflects this as well with things like deep fried jam sandwiches and haggis. When you're done, check out a Scottish deli only two doors down in the same strip mall.
