Visited a pretty UK seaside town and had the best fish and chips of my life

A visit to Troon, Scotland, highlighted for readers what the author calls standout fish and chips amid warm UK weather. After spending a scorching week making three beach trips in seven days, the writer drove about 45 minutes from Glasgow to the coastal town overlooking the Firth of Clyde. The outing came as a thunderstorm ended Scotland’s heatwave during the day, with the sun returning for a quieter shoreline. The meal destination was The Wee Hurrie, a harbour-side chippy known for fresh seafood and described as having been closed during the earlier, snowy January trip. Dinner included scampi with a delicate batter, plus a menu that features items such as fritto misto, noodles and lobster. The takeaway cost £14.30, and the portion and seasoning with salt and vinegar were noted as well balanced.
