Mario's

Mario's is a fish and chip shop at 74-75 Shore Street in Gourock, serving fried fish suppers alongside pizza, pasta and other Italian dishes in the style of the area's long-standing Italian-Scottish chip shop tradition. The shop operates as a takeaway rather than a sit-in restaurant, opening in the afternoon and running through to 10pm. It fries to order rather than holding pre-cooked stock on display, and offers a family menu alongside its standard chip shop range. Mario's takes orders in person, by phone and through its own delivery app, and has built a following among locals for its fish suppers and pizzas. It sits among several independent chip shops along Gourock's seafront strip, an area with a concentration of small food takeaways serving both residents and passing ferry and rail traffic. The business is independently run rather than part of a chip shop chain, trading from a single Shore Street premises.
