When in Aberdeen, the first place we wento to was "Ashvale Fish Restaurant".
The time was perfect for a good lunch, maybe a bit late...3 p.m.
We knew this place for the mazing reviews I found in magazines and tour guides.
It seem that Mr. John M. Low opened this restaurant in 1985. His dream was to give Aberdeen, famous for his qaulity fish, the first traditional fish and chips restaurant.
He just wanted to buy daily fresh fish and cook it in a special batter recipe: good quality and right price.
He achieved his aim: the "Ashvale" has had a huge success since its opening and has been awarded for many years as the best fish and chips restaurant in Scotland.
I ordered the "Fisherman Feast"
while P. chose "Haddock and chips" 
Eating this fish was a great experience, the batter was very crunchy, not oliy nor smelly (typical when the ingredients are bad!). All perfect! We drunk Saint Andrew's beer. Unfortunately there wasn't any room left for my daily slice of cake! But it was worth it!

I haven't been Scotland but only London... and I think I will love both places, and the fish!!! Just heard from what you described about the batter is what I'd fight for!
S, I'm burying under a pile of document (mainly about my temperary residency and such), hope things will sort out later and back to blogging *baci*
