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’m not a huge marshmallow fan, but their marshmallows are insanely good! The cinnamon ones are amazing. Loved the puffin poo and hot chocolate as well. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent cafe in a great location with beautiful views from all tables. Service was fast and polite, drinks arrived quickly with the food not too far behind. Food was all quality products. Will be back for another visit

Absolutely unbeatable, Service, Food second to none, you just have to go. Thank you all the team at 88 we will be back very soon

This is a wonderful place to stay directly across from Lerwick via ferry. The room was clean and comfortable with a great shower. Dinner was excellent as was breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay. The ferry to and from Lerwick runs frequently and the ride is short. It is only a couple minutes walk from the hotel to the ferry terminal. The owners are super friendly and obviously work hard to make their hotel comfortable.
