The popular chippy is famed for its legendary fish suppers, dog-friendly dining, and cheeky take on traditional favourites.
And its most recent creation is described as being "a brekkie to be proud of" on the mornings when "only Pure Filth will do".
Bosses have said the new menu, dubbed the Pure Filthy Breakfast, is perfect for anyone who overdid it the night before or is just crawling home after a night out.
They said it's also a tasty option for workers whose jobs require them to get up super early during the wee hours.
The new breakfast menu will be served to punters between 9am and 11am almost daily.
And the new headline option is the £8.95 Bigger Bites, which is a base of golden hash brown bites, topped with a fried egg, smothered in melted cheese, and loaded with your choice of sauces.

It will also include the option of either smoked sausage bits, crispy bacon, or a veggie sausage.
The choices of sauces on offer are good old-fashioned brown sauce, tomato ketchup, spicy chipotle mayo or hot creamy horseradish for anyone who fancies something a little bolder.
But for those who aren't so keen on something so heavy in the morning, Cromars is also serving classic breakfast rolls.
Customers can pick up a bacon, sausage or veggie roll instead if they're looking for something easy.

Or those who're looking for something lighter, there's the new 'Boost Your Breakfast Box' for £5.95.
This includes a Greek yoghurt with chocolate granola and a Monster Mango Loco yoghurt shake.
Bosses say this is the "ultimate morning wake-up call", adding: "Still Cromars. Just that little bit cleaner!"
Wendy Napthine-Frame, owner of Cromars, said: 'We've built our reputation on serving great-tasting food with a side of fun and banter.
Flavour-packed dishes are what we're known for. Our new 'Pure Filth Breakfast' is no exception – it's big, bold and gloriously indulgent
Wendy Napthine-Frame
"At Cromars, we don't take ourselves too seriously – but we do take our food seriously.
"Fresh fish, top-quality ingredients and flavour-packed dishes are what we're known for.
"Our new 'Pure Filth Breakfast' is no exception – it's big, bold and gloriously indulgent.
"A proper St Andrews chippy breakfast for locals, students, workers and visitors to St Andrews, really anyone who knows that sometimes only something outrageously filthy will hit the spot.'
It's not the first time that Wendy has hit headlines because of her incredible creations.
In May last year, Cromars launched a special menu for dogs to become Scotland's first canine-friendly chippy.
The menu includes £2 beef sausages and £1.50 'puppucinnos' - whipped cream that is usually served in an espresso-sized cup or a small bowl.
It also offers free dog biscuits, and 50 per cent of sales from the canine meals will be donated to the SSPCA.
Wendy said the menu was inspired by the amount of customers who visit the eatery with their four-legged friends.
The businesswoman, who also has three dogs of her own, also wanted to help owners enjoy their suppers in peace by offering pet meals.
AWARD-WINNING CHIPPY
Cromars was established in 2013 and is one of Scotland's best-loved fish and chip shops.
It specialises in making the very best fish and chips, adhering to three key pillars of quality: fish is only ever cooked to order, only the very best 'angel cut' Haddock is used, caught from the North Sea, and locally sourced ingredients.
Cromars Classic Fish and Chips in St Andrews is multi-award-winning for the quality of its fish and chips.
It ws crowned 'Best Fish Supper on the East Coast of Scotland' at the 2023 Scotland's Fish & Chip Awards.
Cromars' owner, Wendy Napthine-Frame, has fishing in her blood.
Born and raised in Peterhead, the largest landing port for fish in the UK, with a large extended family all working in the fishing industry either on boats or in the markets, Wendy has an innate understanding of what constitutes the best quality fish, along with the connections to source the very best that Scotland has to offer.
Wendy regularly takes a 'fry' around to the homes of friends and family.
Forget wine, chocolate or flowers, a fry is a box of the very best fish to eat as a treat.
At the time, she said: "We are a nation of dog lovers. I have three dogs myself, so I know how much people love them and want them around as part of the family.
"We see so many people travelling with their dogs now, especially as we come into the summer season, when the city is teeming with tourists and visitors.
'We are blessed in St Andrews with wonderful beaches and countryside, offering perfect walks for dogs and their owners, and for years Cromars has welcomed them all afterwards for a fish supper.
'I've often thought we should create a special menu for dogs, not least so that owners can eat our award-winning fish and chips in peace.
"Without the pleading eyes and the nose-nudges that as dog owners we all understand!
'So, we have done just that with the introduction of our new menu, which is catering for doggies and doing good by helping support the tremendous work that the SSPCA does in Scotland.'

Diner's fury as trendy Ibiza bar charges her £10 just to hang her BAG up – and she has the receipt to prove it
The restaurant hit back saying it was a 'misunderstanding' ON THE HOOK Diner's fury as trendy Ibiza bar charges her £10 just to hang her BAG up – and she has the receipt to prove it Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OUTRAGED diners have slammed an Ibiza bar after it charged a diner £10 to hang her handbag on a table hook. The fuming customer even shared the receipt to prove the bizarre fee which was slapped on her check at a sushi restaurant on the Spanish island. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The restaurant is located in holiday hotspot Ibiza (stock) 3 A restaurant charged a customer £10 for a 'bag hook' Credit: Getty Tourist Laura Cunei took to social media to share the mind-boggling check which she received after eating at Wakame Ibiza. The receipt said she had been charged €12 (£10) for "gancho bolsa" which means "bag hook" as part of her meal on August 5. She wrote: "The waitress kindly offers to hang our bags on a little hook at the table. "We decline her offer, but due to her insistence, we accepted. "Our surprise upon seeing the this normal? Is it legal?" The stunned diner added: "When we saw the receipt, we told them it didn't seem right to pay that much because we hadn't asked for it. "They told us we could keep the hook if we wanted. "After our refusal and our incredulous expressions, they gave us a new receipt without the 'bag hook' tag." Seething social media users piled on outraged comments on the social media post. Hospitality expert Jesus Soriano, who uploads real-life examples of restaurant rip-offs, shared her post on TikTok. Monkey gang caught 'running scam' targeting tourists at sacred temple One outraged user said: "They'll be charging us to breathe next." Another user even made the jaw-dropping claim that they had been charged extra for having a "good" table. Meanwhile another weighed in saying on one occasion they had been charged nearly £2 per person for not having starters. Spain's consumer protection agency OCU replied to the post on X giving a link to file a complaint. The restaurant's furious bosses later claimed the charge had been a "misunderstanding". Wakame Ibiza said on Instagram: "The amount that appeared on the ticket was the result of an error in our system. "It was marked as a merchandising item with a price, when it should have been shown with zero cost." It comes as diners around the world have been slapped with other unexpected surcharges as part of their restaurant receipts. In the US, outraged diners slammed restaurants for adding extra surcharges onto receipts. The hidden fees were branded "silly and disingenuous" by online users, who poured out on social media to vent their fury at the changes. Tourists have also reported other alleged scams in popular holiday hotspots. Fuming Brit holidaymakers reeled in by prices as low as £7 accused Croatian-based Carwiz of bullying sales tactics, fabricating damage, verbal abuse and even assault. Online reviews of the firm's franchises seen by The Sun allege staff have forged documents, up-sold unnecessary insurance, and taken unauthorised payments from credit cards.

Labour MSP defies Scottish Secretary in call for wealth tax
A wealth tax is a form of taxation which is designed to collect money from an individual's total assets as opposed to specific levies on income or property. Proposed wealth taxes have included a levy on cumulative wealth - including everything from property, to investments, to art. The idea of the policy is that it could make the tax system fairer by directly targeting accumulated assets. The policy has recently emerged as a key dividing line in the parliamentary Labour Party in both Westminster and Holyrood. READ MORE: Last week, Scottish Secretary Ian Murray dismissed the idea of the UK Government implementing a wealth tax, saying that there was 'no silver bullet' to the country's economic woes. Speaking to the Comedian Matt Forde at the Edinburgh Fringe, Mr Murray said '[A wealth tax] doesn't work. The Laffer curve [an economic theory which explains the correlation between taxation and government revenue] is there for everyone to see. 'So, yes, you can bring in a wealth tax, because it might make you feel principally better. You might bring in £200 million but the cost of doing that would be huge because there is just flight, whether we like that or not.' Scottish Secretary Ian Murray last week publicly denounced the idea of a wealth tax (Image: PA)Contradicting Mr Murray, Ms Villalba said of the Laffer curve: 'this theory, though influential, is unfounded.' She went on to say that she believes that 'all financial wealth originates from human labour'. 'It would therefore take a mass exodus or nationwide risk to life for wealth creation in a country to cease.' 'We need only look at the hit private profit would have taken during the pandemic had the state not stepped in to shore it up to see the primacy of human labour evidenced. 'A significant proportion of wealth is in immobile assets like land, property and British-based businesses…This wealth cannot up sticks and leave with an individual. The resources remain in the country and are subject to taxation. 'We know we won't lose wealth creation as long as we have a fit and able population to do the work. 'In fact, the greatest risk to wealth is workforce shortages caused by a public health service on its knees, an undervalued public education system and a cost-of-living crisis deterring new parents. In short, the greatest risk to wealth is continuing to let it go untaxed.' The Scottish Greens have also recently made fresh calls for a wealth tax in response to 'soaring' CEO pay. Discussing new figures which showed that some British Executives' pay had reached over 100 times that of the average worker, MSP Maggie Chapman said: 'A wealth tax is now a necessity, to make sure that those who have enriched themselves the most pay their fair share.' Rachel Reeves refused to be drawn on a wealth tax when quizzed by journalists earlier this month. She said the UK Government had to 'get the balance right on taxation' but stressed the 'number one priority' was growing the economy.

Crystal Palace bid £26m for Premier League flop to replace Eberechi Eze
Eberechi Eze may be one step closer to joining Tottenham in a £55million transfer as Crystal Palace have reportedly made a bid to sign his replacement. Having been closely linked with Arsenal all summer, Eze now looks poised to sign for their north London rivals instead, with talks between Spurs and Palace progressing well though a deal is yet to be agreed. The England international, who scored the winner in last season's FA Cup final, had a £68m release clause in his contract but it expired last Friday. The Independent report that Tottenham have offered £55m plus add-ons and the player is keen on the move, but the payment structure of the transfer fee is proving a sticking point. It is said that the Eagles, who were held to a goalless draw by Chelsea in their Premier League opener on Sunday, want as much money up front as possible and will not sanction Eze's sale until they have secured his replacement. Metro's new weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. Following in Eze's footsteps will not be easy after the attacking midfielder recorded 14 goals and 11 assists during a historic campaign for Palace last season. The Eagles have made approaches for two players, namely Leicester City's Bilal El Khannouss and Club Brugge forward Christos Tzolis, with The Telegraph now reporting that they have made a €30m (£25.8m) bid for the latter. It remains to be seen whether the offer is accepted as Brugge value Tzolis at around €40m (£34.5m), with the Greek international signing a new four-year contract over the summer. The 23-year-old's previous experience of English football was a disastrous 18-month stint at Norwich City, where he was relegated from the top-flight and would manage just one goal and no assists in 27 Premier League and Championship appearances. More Trending His form has greatly improved since leaving Carrow Road however, recording 34 goal contributions in just 37 games at Fortuna Dusseldorf before joining Brugge last summer for just €6m (£5.6m) So far, playing primarily as a left-winger, he has 42 goal contributions for the Belgian giants, including three goals and two assists in seven appearances this season. Eze started the draw at Chelsea and notably had a stunning free-kick goal ruled out by VAR thanks to a little-known rule. Unless, significant progress is made in this transfer saga over the next couple of days, the 27-year-old is expected to feature in Palace's Conference League play-off first-leg against Frederikstad on Thursday night.
