Fishers in Leith (1 The Shore, Edinburgh) | The List
food menu
A Leith stalwart, its longevity based on a rock-solid reputation for showcasing excellent Scottish fish.
Fisher’s in Leith has a formidable reputation for cooking consistently good fish and seafood sourced in Scotland.
Opened in 1991, this is the original Fisher’s restaurant and it has a homelier atmosphere than its larger city centre sister, as well as a different menu.
It’s not all fish – steaks are always available on the Fishers favourites menu and there’s a meat choice on the à la carte.
Housed in a 17th-century watchtower on the Leith waterfront, this informal restaurant is also a fine location for summer outdoor dining.
Best Edinburgh seafood restaurants - The Scotsman's top five
menu food
It’s no surprise then to find that Scotland also has some amazing seafood restaurants, here are six of the best to be found in Edinbrugh: It’s fair to say that only one name could top our list and that had to be Ondine.
Recognised last year as one of the top five seafood restaurants in the UK, in annual awards run by Seafish, Ondine offers Scottish produce coupled with amazing worldwide flavours; classic fish soup enhanced with North African spices, razor clams with Iberico chorizo and Sicilian lemons or Shetland mussels cooked in an Asian broth of fermented ginger & black bean with freshly shredded coriander.
Housed in a 17th Century watchtower, Fishers serves up classic Scottish dishes like Shetland mussels, Anstruther Smoked salmon and the seafood platter.
The shore-front terrace which sits beside the Water of Leith, is not to be missed on a summer’s day Their fresh Scottish seafood is delivered daily from local fishmongers and the menu reflects this with a highly recommended section for Crustacea & Molluscs featuring dishes like Loch Creran Champagne Tempura Batter Oysters and the Ship’s famous smokehouse platter.
This cosy little Stockbridge restaurant offers some truly fun dishes such as Calamari Fritte with chipotle aioli and the Fillet of Shetland Salmon with crab risotto, though of course we recommend the eponymous Kilted lobster.

Leith continues to be one of the best places in the capital to go for food; from fine dining to casual cuisine and with some amazing seafood, Scottish fare and pub grub on offer, you won’t struggle with options when it comes to dining out.
Picture: TSPL There are very few places outside of London that are home to as many Michelin Starred - or previously awarded Michelin Starred - restaurants as Leith, and with such a rich heritage of culinary excellence, you won’t be surprised to learn that it really is one of the best places in the capital to go for a bite to eat.
THE KITCHIN (78 Commercial St, Edinburgh EH6 6LX) Very little needs to be said about celebrity chef Tom Kitchin’s eponymous restaurant, other than that alongside Restaurant Martin Wishart, it truly is one of the best dining venues not just in Leith, or even Edinburgh, but across the whole country.
Run by one of Scotland’s top chefs, Wishart worked under the likes of Albert Roux, Michael Roux Jr and Marco Pierre White before launching his own restaurants across the country, two of which have Michelin Stars and in the flagship eatery in Leith you have a selection of menus that highlight just how skilled the vastly experienced chef is - with the six and eight course tasting menus particular stand outs.
