This is where your own photos go — the batter, the board above the counter, the walk back over the road to the park.

About
A family-run chippy, the traditional way
North Bay Fisheries sits at 179 Columbus Ravine, across the road from Peasholm Park on Scarborough's North Bay side. It's a proper traditional takeaway: you order from the board above the counter, pay at the till, and your fish goes in the fryer there and then. Nothing sits under a lamp.
It's only open for a few hours each evening, so the queue is part of the ritual — and more than a thousand TripAdvisor reviewers reckon it's worth it. Plenty of them walk straight back over the road to eat theirs on a bench in the park.
Good to know
- Takeaway only — order at the counter, take a number
- Cards and contactless accepted
- Evenings only, Monday to Saturday — closed Sundays
- Fried the traditional way, not in vegetable oil — worth knowing if you're vegetarian
- Peasholm Park is across the road — plenty of benches
