I went to the Tailend for high quality fish and chips, and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered the basic "fish tea," and it was excellent in every way. However, the thing that impressed me the most was a starter that was listed on the specials board: whitebait. If they have this (and if you aren't squeamish about eating little fish... more

Ate here having read great reviews on this site. Wasn't disappointed. Great fish and chips. Fish in the lightest batter we have ever tasted. One slight oddity though. We arrived early evening, around half five. The place was empty apart from one couple that were finishing their meal. We asked if we were ok for a table for two. Two... more

Really good quality fish and chips (and being from Yorkshire I like to think myself a good judge), with great service in fresh modern surroundings. It seemed a fair way down Leith Walk if you are walking from the city centre but well worth it. more

This place has been a wonderful addition to the area and I can recommend it wholeheartedly. The restaurant is excellent and the takeaway service puts the other fish and chip places in Edinburgh to shame. I'm lucky enough to live just 10 minutes walk away and the food is still in superb condition when you get it home. Great value... more

A clean and modern looking fish and chip shop but it's still only a fish and chip shop - I wouldn't recommend going out of my way/taking a taxi to go there - go to the Mussel Inn instead. more

I live round the corner from the Tailend and work 2 minutes away and although I'd heard good things about this place, I'd not yet been. Went for lunch today & sat in. Really great fresh fish. I had mine grilled but they'll do it breaded or battered too. Was perfectly cooked. Lovely minted mushy peas & great non-greasy chunky... more

Coming from North Yorkshire, grew up 20 miles from Whitby, I would like to think I can tell the difference between good and excellent fish and chips. This place is as good as I have tasted. Well presented and very crisp batter, lovely. Wife had cod, looked as good as the special I had. Plus you can have a drink... more
