The 75-Year-Old Detroit Fish And Chips Shop Locals Call Unbeatable - Tasting Table
"Scotty's in Detroit, Michigan, is a beloved local staple that's been keeping locals and out-of-towners fed with fried seafood for 75 years. The fish spot was first opened by James "Scotty" Simpson in 1950, and since then, it has had only two other owners, "Uncle" Sean Gilmore and now Harry Barber, who began working at Scotty Simpson's in 1966. Aesthetically, Scotty Simpson's lacks frills, but it features a warm and homey appearance,"
"In addition to fried seafood, Scotty Simpson's Fish & Chips also offers chicken strips; grilled cheese, chicken, and steak sandwiches; and hamburgers, with sides ranging from coleslaw and onion rings to New England clam chowder. There are plentiful sauces, from tartar and cocktail to ranch, barbecue, and hot sauces, and, naturally, the classic fish and chips accompaniment, malt vinegar. The menu rounds out with pie as a dessert option, either plain or a la mode."

The menu centers on classic fish and chips and includes shrimp, chicken, frog legs, smelt, perch, sandwiches, hamburgers, sides like coleslaw and onion rings, New England clam chowder, many sauces including malt vinegar, and pie for dessert.
