Known to tourists as the national Scottish dish, known to locals as the newspaper parcel of potato perfection, picking up a poke o' chips or a fish supper for some post-party pillaging is many a Yelper's favourite thing to do.

Here are some tasty spots in Glasgow and Edinburgh for your tasting pleasure!

Burger Meats Bun

48A West Regent Street, Glasgow

John B raves about the "hand cut chips with sea salt - which were as good as my auld Da' used to make. They tasted like they'd been par fried and left to cool before being put back in the fryer to crisp up to perfection. The chips almost, but not quite, stole the show from the fantastic burgers."

The Tailend

14-15 Albert Place, Leith Walk, Edinburgh

"The fish and chips are the reason you are here. A large piece of fish is lightly battered and perfectly fried. The meal comes with a small side of garden peas or mushy peas, and a huge mound of chips. The chips are thick cut, and are crisp on the outside, and smooth and creamy in the middle," says Veronica P.

Pommes Frites

476 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow

"The fries are big and twice fried to perfection, they are soft on the inside and crispy, crunchy perfection on the outside. The seasoning was perfect and the mayo was creamy and luxurious," says Pammi G.

Burger

94A Fountainbridge, Edinburgh

Tom S loved the chips here; "light and fluffy and not a speck of grease anywhere."

The Chippy Doon the Lane

McCormick Lane off Buchanan Street, Glasgow

George D defines chips as "nice squared cut pieces. A light crispness on the outside with a mushy, warm inside. If you like 'em well done, these ain't those. The potion is generous."

Teuchters Landing

1a and 1c Dock Place, Leith, Edinburgh

Claire C says the "chips were seasoned perfectly, crispy and came with brown, tomato and mayo sauces."

Hooked

1027 Cathcart Road, Glasgow

Steve C had "a decent sized piece of haddock and a generous portion of chips, both cooked fresh to order, in a choice of 3 batters (I went for tempura), and a wee slice of lemon too. The chips were great too, crispy on the outside and nicely soft on the inside."

Bar Kohl

54 George VI Bridge, Edinburgh

Lucia A tried "a portion of hand-cut chips and a portion of sweet potato chips which has a yummy cajun seasoning on them, very scrummy."

Ox & Finch

920 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow

Take your chips to a whole new level with "truffle salt and roasted garlic aioli." Jennie H says, "they were amazing."

The Golden Bite

102 Portobello High Street, Edinburgh

Craig N says, "let me tell you I've had a few chippies in my time, some might even consider me a chippy snob, but this is up there with the best that I've had. The chips are perfect - nicely rectangular and full of flavour."
