Best fish and chips ever - Edit
We wanted to try these fish and chips so bad because of the reviews on here and we weren't disappointed.
Read moreAs eating in a pub with crowds and loud music isn't really our thing, we simply texted them via WhatsApp and asked if we could order for takeaway. (The menu and phone number are available on Instagram or outside the pub too.)
That was absolutely no problem, they were extremely friendly, even provided us with wooden cutlery and napkins and everything and the food was DELICIOUS! We had the battered tofish with chips, sauce and peas as well as the fauxarella sticks and the wingz n ringz duo.
The tofish is so good, we loved it and also the chips, sauce and peas and sides were great. Just an overall banger.
Tip: The tofish portion sizes are huge, we wouldn't have needed the starters and didn't manage to finish all of it.
Pros: Best tofish ever, Huge portions, Very friendly and uncomplicated

Incredible - Edit
We had the lemon tofu fish and the smoked tofu fish and it tastes unbelievably real. The ordering system is a bit odd, you have to text a phone number on Whatsapp, but the person who makes the food is very nice and the food is absolutely worth a visit. We're definitely coming back!
Read morePros: Amazing food, Very nice people
Cons: Strange ordering system, A bit loud

Wow, just wow - Edit
I had the funk fish and my partner had the battered tofish burger. Both were amazing. Batter texture scarily reminds me of a fish supper! Chips and condiments were also top notch.

Great Vegan Chippy - Edit
Unbelievably good! Absolutely delicious and also fresh (not something you would usually associate with a chippy). If you’re vegan (or not) you need to check this out. Huge portions and great value. Amazingly helpful, friendly and passionate staff. 10/10.

Hearty tofish and chips - Edit
At least three types of tofish to choose from. Very big portions. You order the on WhatsApp. The staff were friendly. Interesting eclectic arty/junk shop decor, including old trainers hung from the ceiling. If you like clean lines and minimalism this is not the place for you.

Weird - Edit
Dans un pub sombre. Vous ne rencontrerez pas le cuisinier ; il faut passer commande par WhatsApp (!!). On ne nous l’indique qu’après 15mn d’attente en vain. Ils indiquent qu’il y a peut-être des arrêtes dans leur poisson véganes : honnêtement, sans voir ni la cuisine ni le cuisinier, caution is advised.
Read moreCons: Commande via WhatsApp, Très sombre et étrange, Louche

Perfect - Edit
Ordered takeaway which was delivered to our hotel last night. Oh. My. Goodness. Gracious. Meeeeee! It was out of this world good. The gluten free options were amazing! I had the funk fish supper and my partner had the faggis supper both of which were deee-lish! The tofish had the perfect texture, seasoning and everything - very rare in the world of eating out as a vegan gluten free-er. But the absolute star of the show was the mushy peas; holy crapamoly they were better than any mushy peas I've ever had. And the tartare sauce was perfect too. Oh snd the chips, of course. Cannot recommend this place enough. We WILL be back next time in Edinburgh and if they ever decide to open a joint in Glasgow. We'll be first in the queue!
Read morePros: Delicious food, Excellent delivery service, Delicious food again
Cons: Absolutely nothing, Not a thing, It was all amazing

Amazing! 10/10 would recommend - Edit
We arrived just after they opened and ordered straight away - the guy behind the bar was a bit grumpy but the food staff were incredibly friendly, the bar and kitchen are ran separately. Food took ages to come out and when it came the chef (and owner) came out really apologetic and explained their head chef had walked out the previous evening and it had been absolute chaos, he was so kind and it was clear he was very stressed but kept it together and still delivered insane food!
Read moreThe food itself was so worth the wait and the portions were huge!! We had a pizza crunch supper and a battered sausage supper which were both incredible. My partner isn’t vegan and even he loved it!
The pub itself is quirky, fun and a little bit rough round the edges with students deals on drinks and various games to play.
All in all I would recommend a visit if you’re in Edinburgh and fancy a proper good chippy tea

Not worth it AT ALL. - Edit
We came to Happy Fish excited for Scotland’s first (only??) vegan chippy! The fish is made out of smoked flavor fried/battered tofu and we also had the faux mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were made with store bought cheese. Like Violife. It was honestly pretty gross. The fried part - good. Cheese - bad. It would be better if they made the cheese themselves.
Read moreNow… the worst part was the environment. What a disgusting musty sticky loud college bar! Graffiti everywhere. Sticky tables. Neon lights. Horrible loud music. So loud we wore earplugs. We ordered, ate as fast as we could and booked it out of there. We could NOT recommend Not coming enough. The fish and chips just aren’t good enough. Like very innovative and awesome to see a vegan option, but seriously not worth how gross this place is. It looks like a health violation.

Make their own vegan mozzarella cheese, seriously? The majority of this review is based on the Dog House establishment and not The Happy Fish. You're welcome to your opinions, but personally I find this 2/5 massively unfair and quite frankly pretentious

Insanely delicious - Edit
Really quirky place which was nice. But the food really was borderline phenomenal. Huge portions too (I'm a fatty and couldn't finish or had room for desert). Tastiest vegan fish alternative I have ever had. The cauliflower fritters were absolutely beautiful too.
Read moreOnly point I'd make is you pay first and are asked about a tip first before any service or food which I'd never tip before.
Pros: Options, Portion sizes, Absolutely delicious

Really good vegan fish - Edit
The bar is really fun. We really liked how it was decorated. You have to order the food on whatsapp. It worked really well. We only had to wait a moment, and our food arrived. The fish was amazing!

Quirky place, great food, lovely people - Edit
The place is very unique, super quirky, great atmosphere.
Read moreWe decided to get the Munchie Box for £25 for two people - do not do that unless you can eat a loooot of food. It was amazing taste-wise, just a bit too much.
Very friendly staff and dog-friendly. Can only recommend.

Nice - Edit
Came here in the aftermath of storm Éowyn. Very nice chippy tea. Interesting decor inside! Pay separately for food and drinks. Nice to support a vegan chippy. Business is responsive on WhatsApp too.

Best fish supper ever! - Edit
I’m a gluten free vegan, so eating out is a challenge. Great fish and chips has been a treat missing for a long time, so to be able to go to The Dog House (brilliant pub) and get the best crispy battered fish, chunky chips and mushy peas, with homemade tartare sauce is incredible 😁 Real care was taken over my gluten free food too. All the stars 🌟 #Veganuary
