Isle Eat in Shetland Islands

We found Hand Made Fish, the croft smokehouse of David Parham, a true delight. David smokes salmon that he carefully selects from Orkney and Shetland fish suppliers. He is passionate about smoking salmon to perfection, and what counts most is to always improve. Our visit to his smokehouse in Bigton, Maywick, was a unique food experience. He told us stories, explained the smoking process and offered us a fascinating tasting experience that learned us how different the pieces of his artisan salmon taste: tail, head, side, body. What a discovery! Everyone of our family, adults and kids, really enjoyed David’s stories and his wonderful smoked salmon. Simply the best salmon we ever had! A few days later we had the luck to also taste David’s smoked haddock he was so kind to deliver us in Lerwick. We poached it in butter and milk, ate it with potatoes and poached eggs, and loved it!

I was a little disappointed with the fudge as it was more toffee than the melt in the mouth fudge. The cinnamon mallow was absolutely delicious, jaffa jake mallow not so much as it didn't taste of jaffa cakes, my strawberry mallow one was so sticky I couldn't get it out of the pack all that good. Puffin poo, like all of my order was way over priced. I had puffin poo a long time ago and it was much better, a lot more mallow in it which made it a more chewy bite, but it's not so chewie now, more chocolate, won't be buying again....sorry!

Excellent food, highly recommend the Fjara burger. Enjoyed a window table looking towards the sea with a stunning view!

Warm hospitality and service, backed up by the BEST lamb I've ever had. Absolutely blown away.

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips. I traveled here all the way from New Zealand because I heard that these are undoubtedly the best f&c on earth. I was not lied to. Frankie's should should be the Scottish capital. Shetland is worth visiting just for this. Get em in ya
