Fishers In The City

Absolutely WONDERFUL experience all around. Our server, Ada, was soooo kind, friendly and attentive. Thank you so much for the well wishes and hope to see you next year, Ada! Ordered the classic fish and chips, as well as the half dozen oysters. Both were extremely fresh and delicious! The creme brulee and pear parfait desserts were remarkable! Pouilly-fume was a perfect pairing for all. Definitely make reservations in advance, which seems to be a common theme in Edinburgh (lesson learned). So glad we made that reservation and waited. Truly memorable experience that we'll seek to repeat when back in Scotland. Highly recommended!

Loved fishers by the shore so decided to give the second location a try too since it’s closer to our hotel. Still pretty good, but I definitely preferred the shore location. The shore location has more variety other items (foraged mushrooms, pasta, crab toast, soft shell crab sandwich). Keeping in mind, I went to the shore location for lunch so maybe it was different but nevertheless, personally I would go back to the shore. Either way though, still a fantastic meal. It’s a much bigger restaurant, and more of vibe. We ordered the small smoked fish soup, small mussels, small grilled oysters, smoke salmon plate, and the hand dived orkney scallops (too buttery in my opinion) for two. And finished off with a cheese plate. Delicious and memorable meal. A lot of variety of fresh seafood, prepared in multiple ways.

Wow! Best mussels in the city hands down. Mussels are cooked in a cream white wine sauce with garlic and it was absolutely addictive. Moreover, the cleanliness of the mussels was also spot on as there weren't any sandy surprises waiting for us in our mouths. The scallops, langoustine, and haggis bons bons were good too and worth a try as well! Lastly, we also had the pork belly which wasn't as crispy as we would've liked and came in a more gelatinous texture but the taste was still wonderfully umami without having any funkiness to it. Overall, great seafood and service in the heart of downtown Edinburgh!
