Originally a fishing village built around the High Street, and formerly known as Stonehive, the town has grown to a population of around 11,000. The sense of history, with the impressive ruined fortress of Dunnottar Castle, the awe inspiring views of the sea and harbour, the friendliness of the local people, combine to make Stonehaven special. Stonehaven is the main county town of Kincardineshire and the Mearns, although, due to Local Government changes, the town now lies within Aberdeenshire. In August 2010, Stonehaven was voted the best seaside town in Scotland in a survey carried out by the Bank of Scotland which looked at the quality of life in coastal towns throughout the country, looking at factors such as crime rates, weather, property prices and earnings.
I normally don't like the normal Fish n Chips cos the fish Are usually frozen. But I have second thoughts when I tasted The Bay Fish n Chips, the fish is so fresh and succulent. My girl who is rather fussy on food, told her brother that we must come here here again for their Fish!! And of course, it includes their homemade ice cream too!
The Bay is our first stop!
Yes, wishing Labby is here strolling too....
Outside the Auntie Betty's ice cream shop....
And our enormous fish n chips!
Two scoops of rum n raisin and diam something....
Thanks Aaron for waiting and getting us our dinner!
We are famished....Let's dig in!!
Fish and chips! UK's national food!!! What???? They use polystyrene there? Aiyor!!!!! Used to be wrapped in newsprint, add lots of vinegar, the traditional way.

ReplyDeleteThat fish and chips place is a good find. Very hard to find restaurants selling fresh fish there, since their SOP is immediately freeze everything.
Hahaaaa... I must ask the girl again... Diam saja....
DeleteI heard so much about the fish n chips over there. A must try!

ReplyDeleteShould have taken the fish before we ate... Too hungry to take...
DeleteThe traditional fish and chips. Looks good!
ReplyDeleteTriple cooked chips were at one point quite readily available in traditional fish and chip shops in London but not so now. I don't know about up North. Unfortunately, polystyrene is still widely used although paper plates and paper food cartons can be seen in fish and chip shops in London including other eateries.
Not sure why... Maybe convenient and cheaper i guess
DeleteWhat a lovely place by the beach! I agree that most Fish & Chips used frozen fish and they tasted different.
ReplyDeleteWithout your glasses, you always looked like Aaron's sister. Now you looked like his loving mama! You look elegant with glasses.
Hahaaa... I never thought I look older with glasses... Hahaaaa
