Seafood restaurant, offering ‘posh’ fish and chips, opened near Glasgow

Anew seafood restaurant, which offers its own unique take on ‘posh’ fish and chips, has opened near Glasgow.

Thousands of diners have already visited the 30-seater restaurant, which boasts an extensive dine in and take away menu, packed with locally sourced fresh seafood dishes and the usual fish and chip shop favourites.

There is a distinctly nautical feel to the impressive interior of the two-level Bearsden restaurant which features traditional dark wood panelling and brass fittings set against a deep blue colour scheme which offers a ‘refined family dining experience unlike anything in the surrounding area’.

A big hook for families is the inspiration for the restaurant – The Scallop’s Tale, a wall mounted story charting Sally the Scallop’s journey which diners can read as they enjoy the experience. A famous Earnest Hemingway quotation also takes pride of place which is certain to catch the eye of diners.

Bookings are a must up as foodies and families alike are queuing up to enjoy signature dishes such as Pan-Fried King Scallops with Parmesan Mash, ‘Posh Fish and Chips, and Breaded Lemon Sole with a Minted Pea Puree, Fries and Hot Tartar Sauce’.

The speciality ‘Scallops High Tea for

two’, which includes two ‘Posh Fish and Chips’, Sourdough Bread, and Tea with Cakes and Scones has attracted diners for sharing and socialising.

There is also a selection of nonseafood dishes, as well as vegetarian and vegan options, and smaller portions for children.

The Scallop’s Tale Fish & Chip takeaway menu features all the classic dishes customers expect. The menus have been devised by executive chef Stephen Pohler, who has built an impressive CV including spells at the Lisini Dalziel Park Hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn, Crowne Plaza and the Radisson Red, in Glasgow.

Scallop’s Tale owner Dr Usman Qureshi, a Bearsden local, said: “It’s a real thrill to open The Scallop’s Tale. This restaurant has been a long time in the making and we’re so excited to be able to share it with the public.

“Since we announced the restaurant was opening recently a day hasn’t gone by where somebody hasn’t asked how it’s looking, and now we are open for all to see.

Families can come out and enjoy a delicious seafood meal, or they can take away to enjoy in the comfort of their home.”
