Short answer: Port Isaac has one chip shop: Port Isaac Fish & Chips on Fore Street (4.4 on Google), a takeaway doing locally caught fish in light, crispy batter, cooked to order, with a couple of seats outside. For a sit-down plate, The Slipway on the harbour is the standout and is very good for gluten-free, as one of its chefs is coeliac.
Port Isaac is a working fishing village, and you can eat fish and chips here two ways: a takeaway from the village chippy to eat on the harbour wall, or a sit-down plate in one of the harbour pubs and restaurants.
60 Fore Street. 4.4 from 94 Google reviews. The village's only chippy. Reviewers praise fresh, locally caught fish (local haddock) in light, crispy batter, cooked to order, with extras like a samphire or seaweed topping and homemade tartare sauce. It's takeaway with only a couple of seats outside, so plan to eat on the harbour. Google lists: daily 12pm–3pm and 4pm–8pm.
The standout sit-down fish and chips on the harbour. One reviewer called the peas the best they'd had anywhere, and the kitchen has a coeliac chef, so gluten-free here is taken seriously.
