The first Blue Lagoon chippy was opened on Sauchiehall Street back in 1975 by Italian born entrepreneur Ersilio Varese and his childhood sweetheart Edda Varese. The business very quickly took off expanding on to West Nile Street, Argyle Street, Howard Street and Renfield Street in a matter of years truly establishing Blue Lagoon as the face of traditional Fish & Chips in Glasgow.
