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

An absolute must visit when in Edinburgh! I can't recommend this place highly enough
Read moreI have been wanting to go to this place for a while now and it did not disappoint! It tastes so much like real fish & chips - so mind-blowingly tasty!!!
I can't wait to go back and try everything else that is on the menu! Also the service is equally as good as the food!!
Food: 10/10 🤤

So tasty! - Edit
So glad we went to try this, we had the happy fish loaded fries and the cauliflower wings - I think they were the best cauli wings I’ve had! The pub is very quirky, nice spot for a casual meal/drink and very friendly staff.

For those missing Fish Suppers - Edit
We attended as part of a Vegan meet-up event.
Read moreElliot has worked some magic & made one of the best Vegan Fish & chips I've had in a long time. There's loads to choose from - I had the Smoked Funk-fish supper & it was amazing. The portion sizes are decent & really flavoursome.
If fish-style things aren't you jam, the chips are reminiscent of chip-shop style chips & are really tasty. There's also a chip butty, battered sausage, & other Fish & chip shop menu items too (including deep fried pizza).
The venue got quite busy whilst we were there, so a little noisy, but a great pub with some very eclectic décor.
We were also able to sample the desserts which are a great addition to the meal. There's ice-cream & some deep fried favourites again.
I would thoroughly recommend a visit to the happy fish.
Pros: Loads of options , Amazing flavours , Good portion sizes
Cons: The venue can get noisy

A little bit fishy - Edit
Happy Fish was exactly the place I needed on a Monday night. I left feeling ready to stock up on fruit and veg for the rest of the week! Duncan did a fantastic job making sure we had everything we needed, and we opted for the faddock supper and the loaded fish fries.
Read moreThe food came out quickly and was served in generous portions. While actual plates would have been a nice touch, we made do with the cardboard trays. The dish was a taste of the sea without the cruelty, and the flavors carried a bit of Glasgow with them—which we all loved.
I could easily eat here often, but I’d be happy making it a treat every few weeks. Great food and service! If you’re in Edinburgh, give it a visit.

Best Chippy for Vegans around! - Edit
The dog house is a pretty wild setting but it is so interesting and full pf character who wouldn't love it? Here i have dined several times and each time has been so tasty, it has been so fun trying new things every time. All options are also very reasonably priced. The owner (elliot) is so bubbly and chatty, it is wholesome to see someone that feels so much passion for their job and values. Elliot really is the heart and soul of The Happy Fish at the dog house. Great selection of food to try, good portions and food always arrives promptly. I will be back no doubt very, very soon.
Read morePros: Elliot, The tofish, the menu
Cons: Cant eat here everynight

Proper fish and chips - Edit
We had heard the fish and chips here were amazing and tried to go one Saturday night but were sadly unsuccessful as it was too busy. Alas, we tried again on a Thursday night, and boy-oh-boy, it did not disappoint!! (Moral of the story — do book if it’s the weekend)
Read moreWe both got the Tofish Supper and wowzers, the ‘fish’ was spot on — delicious flaky texture, light batter, amazing taste. The chips were perfection (i got the chunky ones and they were crispy af but fluffy on the inside). But the absolute HERO for me was the mushy peas! I’ve never had peas that taste that good!! They were in a mixture of spices/seasoning with fresh mint leaves — i’ve not stopped thinking about them.
The person who runs Happy Fish was so lovely too! Came and chatted with us, it made the experience even better. Needless to say, we will DEFINITELY be going back!

Impressive menu and great food - Edit
It felt a bit strange at first, as I did not realise that the business is separate from the pub and that you need to order via WhatsApp. Then, a person comes to collect your payment, and your food follows in about 15 minutes.
Read moreI went conservative and had just the "faddock" as a supper with chunky chips and mushy peas, but the whole menu looked so yummy! They even do "mussels" or "calamari", things I've never had in a non-vegan version, let alone vegan one! Definitely want to visit again and try more.
Pros: Affordable, Great choice of food
Cons: Need to order via phone, Single use packaging

Felt like a proper chippy tea - Edit
Set in a quirky pub this place offers really tasty “fish” & chips.
Read moreWe had the fussles as a starter. They were good and the sauce was tasty.
We ordered the wings and rings but this was probably one side too many. They tasted really good but was just a lot of food.
For mains we had the Faddock and the Fackrel these came with mushy peas, tartare sauce, chunky chips and the tofu “fish”
I preferred the Fackrel as the smoky flavour was really good. But the way they construct the tofu means the “fishy” flavour runs throughout both dishes.
We were also given some battered Oreo’s on the house. They were surprisingly good. Like little doughnuts with Oreo filling.

Best vegan fish - Edit
By far the best vegan fish and chips I’ve had since becoming vegan! My partner (who is not vegan) also said this is incredible and would definitely come back. We have plans to change our dinner reservations tomorrow so we can dine here again.

Great fish! - Edit
Happy Fish prides themselves on being vegan fish specialists and they really are! We specifically chose "fish" to try out this claim and it was the best fish alternative I have ever tasted.

Vegan fish and chips - Edit
My wife and I had a great time at The Dog House and the food from Happy Fish was delicious! We had great service, too! There seemed to be just one person serving and preparing the food, so they were super busy. Naturally it took a little while for us to get our food, but we were not in any hurry because the pub was a lot of fun. The food was worth the wait! I highly recommend Happy Fish!

Wer über 30 (OK ich bin doppelt so alt) ist, sollte sich auf ein junges Publikum einstellen und Ohrstöpsel mitnehmen. Die Musik war ohrenbetäubend!
Read moreZudem wird auf Sauberkeit etwas weniger Wert gelegt.
Aber zum Essen: Alles frittiert und genau deshalb geht es da ja auch hin.
Die Fritten waren wirklich gut, die Fackerel erstaunlich lecker und die deep fried Oreos... keine weiteren Kommentare, heute gibt's wieder was Gesünderes.
