Nories

Nories in Oban might catch your eye with its corner location and modern look, but that’s where the positives end. The moment you walk in, the layout feels scattered and uncomfortable—your eyes don’t know where to land, and not in a good way. We ordered fish & chips and sat down to wait. When the food arrived, it was served in an open takeaway box (while dining in!), which already felt cheap. The fish looked overcooked and greasy, and when we cut into it, it crumbled apart in a thick, heavy batter. It was more oily than flavorful, and overall very disappointing. On top of that, it was expensive for what you get. The quality absolutely did not match the price tag, making it feel like a complete waste of money. As for atmosphere—there simply isn’t one. The place felt lifeless, bland, and without any warmth or character. If you’re in Oban and want a proper fish & chips experience, do yourself a favor and walk right past Nories. Just across the street and a few steps up, you’ll find Oban Fish & Chips—a far better choice with a welcoming vibe, great food, and value that actually makes sense.

Antony and the staff are welcoming and friendly. You can take away or sit in and enjoy your chippy supper. Loads to choose from the menu. Fish freshly cooked, crunchy batter and fresh ,moist, great tasting fish. I've tried all fish and chips shops in Oban over the many years I've visited and they are all very nice but Nories is by far my favourite. You won't be disappointed.10/10.🤤😋 Johnny.😁

The fish and chips were OK. I thought there was too much batter on the fish and it wasn't very crisp. The mushy peas were good. You have to pay for any sauces like tartar sauce (and it just comes out of a packet). There is some indoor seating as well. When we arrived, the restaurant wasn't busy so we dined in. We had finished our food and were chit chatting when one of the employees asked us to leave because a large group was coming in even though there were empty tables available. Overall, I think there are better options for fish and chips in Oban.

Had the fish and chips at Nories and really enjoyed it—the fish was fresh and melt-in-the-mouth, definitely one of the better ones I’ve had. That said, I think there’s room for improvement in the service. A bit more attentiveness would’ve made the experience even better. Still worth a visit for the food!

I must admit that the haddock & chips I had was very nice indeed. I was shocked by the price, but I really wanted to try it - after all, Gordon, Gino and Fred recommend! £13.40 is not something I'd want to splash out very often though...

Probably the best fish n chips I’ve ever had. Damn perfect.

The best fish and chips I ever had. It was full, but the attention was good and quick. Hopefully I'll come back one day

Haddock and chips were good but had a few bones, which is not very nice, around 6 bones. Seafood basket was good. The sausage was tasty))) Overall nothing special. I think personally the chipper next door is better.
