A famous fish and chip shop in a historic Scottish seaside location has been brought to market.
The premises in the "most beautiful" seventeenth-century fishing village also have a spacious family home.
Hook, Line and Sinker, in Portsoy, Aberdeenshire, is "an easy-to-operate venture with a simple yet highly effective trading model", said agent CCL Property.
"The business is presented in excellent condition, boasting exceptionally well-appointed facilities and modern catering equipment, with nothing subject to lease. This comprehensive and up-to-date equipment provision contributes significantly to its outstanding trading reputation in the locality.
"Customers travel considerable distances to enjoy their fare, as evidenced by positive reviews on various platforms. This takeaway caters to a strong year-round demand from both residents and passing trade, with a significant boost in turnover during the spring and summer tourist seasons. Hook Line and Sinker specializes in traditional, high-quality fish and chip meals, while also offering a wider menu including pizzas.
"The establishment prides itself on catering to diverse dietary requirements, including options for vegetarians and those with allergies.
"Emphasizing quality, the business primarily sources its produce locally for food preparation. While currently trading at a highly profitable level, the business has the potential to further increase its income, supported by its modern, fully-owned equipment.”

Portsoy is a popular seaside holiday destination, renowned for its scenic coastline, picturesque walking trails, and proximity to neighbouring golf courses."
