The Fishmarket Restaurant in Highland

Friendly, welcoming and fresh! Delicious seafood and lovely staff. A most enjoyable lunch but must pay with cash (ATM across the road).

Outstanding lunch and gluten free! I thoroughly enjoyed the clam & prawn chowder-- delicious with an incredible gluten-free bun. My husband loved the haddock pie. Great wine and beer options and wonderful service! Great prices too!

This is the second time back to the Fishmarket as it has afew vegetarian options on the menu. I had the cauliflower curry with basmati rice, followed by raspberry cranachan which were both tasty. The waiting staff are lovely here, very chatty and helpful. I’ve enjoyed it here both times.

Sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Die nette Kellnerin war sehr freundlich und sehr aufmerksam

Great food. Absolutely delicious smoked haddock pie and cranachan for desert. The service was perfect - got served quickly but the two servers were really friendly. There were only a couple of tables filled tonight, so the atmosphere wasn't exactly buzzing, but it felt like a friendly, comfortable place that I'd be really happy to visit again.

I ate here with my family for lunch and had a great experience. We all had the soup of some sort. The food was very good and came out fast. The server was very friendly and helpful. We had a good experience.

Not a proper fish and chips experience. Nearly £45 for fish and chips, scampi and chips and a small portion, fish bites with chips. Can of iron bru and curry sauce. The curry sauce was not proper chippy curry, was like a thai curry. Chips where poor and small portions. Rip off ! Won't be back !

Staff ultra friendly and chatty. If you’re after a light lunch just order from the starter menu and then don’t comment on the prices!!! Prawn and scallop chowder (and bread) was plentiful and DELICIOUS. With a glass of chilled white wine came to about £40 which was amazing value for money. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Fish and chips were fine. Nothing special but tasty enough. The prices however are eye-watering. £17.50 for a fairly small portion of haddock and chips that doesn't even include tea, bread or peas is obscene, especially in a place that should be getting it's fish from the local catch

Encouraged by nothing less than a stellar experience at other place we were dining the night before on our second trip to Mallaig (the Cabin) , we decided to give another place a try tonight, for our final evening meal on this trip. We decided on take away fish supper.... Big mistake. Huge. We are still shell-shocked by the £15 we had to pay each for a measly portion of a handful of chips and a small fish. The quality (def not fresh) and size of the food certainly didn't justify the astronomical charge for it. Save yourself a disappointing meal and choose elsewhere to dine!

Très bien accueillie. Personnel super sympa . Même si vous ne parlez pas très bien l'anglais, ils font tout pour que vous soyez a l'aise. Fish and chips excellent et le dessert local aussi, le carnachan. Bien réserver avant.

Excellente adresse locale avec un accueil chaleureux et un service de qualité. Le fish and chips est très bon ainsi que le Carnachan en dessert. Avant le ferry pour l'île de Sky, c'est un arrêt à ne pas manquer !

Excellent food and good service. Recommended!

Wir hatten Langustinen als Starter, zum Hauptgang Dover Sole und Megrim als frischen Fisch, hat hervorragend geschmeckt, wir wurden sehr zuvorkommend bedient, sehr zu empfehlen

gutes Essen und hervorragender Service

Sehr, sehr nettes Personal und eine ordentliche Chipsportion. Vielen Dank!

We had prebooked our table and when we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. We had travelled on The Jacobite Express so we needed a fairly swift lunch which is what we had, and it was delicious.

We were through in Mallaig off the Jacobite train and choses here for lunch. Cullen skink was delicious and the best fish and chips with homemade curry sauce ! Good view of the harbour and staff really friendly to all in restaurant.

Nice restaurant serving seafood, a bit expensive tho

We ate here in July 23 having come into town on the Harry Potter Express. Was it a mistake to choose one of the first restaurants we came to ? I was hoping for fresh juicy seafood straight out of the harbour and into the kitchen. Unfortunately the langostine were plentiful but rather dry and I suspect were not freshly cooked. The scallops were better but a little overcooked. Service was quick and friendly Later we discovered that other local restaurants had similar dishes for about £5 a plate less. So maybe they are better value.

We lunched here during the lunchtime stop of the Jacobite Train. Just turn left out of station and restaurant is one block down. It was really busy. We had a table with a view over the harbour. Excellent menu with specials on the board. I had Cullen skink which was perfect for a light lunch. My husband ordered mussels which were delicious. The meals of other diners looked very tempting. Excellent service. We had a leisurely lunch and were back at the train in good time.

Fish and Chips were awful. £30 for 2 frozen chips. Cool. Didn’t enjoy at all. We got a takeaway and was absolutely tasteless. Nice thing they put some salt and vinegar with it .

Nice food and nice staffs .. friendly, accomodating and smiley.

Very lovely upstairs cafe we found at Mallaig. Very clean. Lovely pleasant and friendly staff. Great pit-stop sandwiches, cakes and tea. Will re-visit if in the area again. Recommend.

I usually don't eat fish and I don't like fishy smell. But this fish and chips was great, there was no fishy smell, the food was fresh and crispy, and the views was fabulous. However, the prices were the highest in comparison with the other fish and chips restaurants that I tried before. Also, the lemonade can does not worth £2.5 since it was very hot and there was no ice.

I actually just went for fresh smoked salmon, went twice as I ate the first one I was taking home for a friend lol. It was so freshly smoked that I had to go back an hour later as it hadn't cooled to the proper temperature for sealing. Very friendly and helpful staff. Gets a big thumbs up from me.

Un de meilleur restaurant qu'on ait fait jusqu'à présent. Nourriture vraiment très bonne, simple avec des produits locaux. Fish and chips très très bon vraiment et le saumon magnifique. Le personnel est chouette. A tester si on aime le poisson.

Sadly, this is not a proper fish and chip venue. The Haddock was lightly battered and really nice but it was served with cheap standard pub chips, not hand cut / cooked chippy chips. Kids Cheese and Tomato pizza was a cheapo Chicago town microwave pizza that cost £3 for a pack of 2 in a local spar shop. Fussy you might think..! Ok so the bit that really stung was the cost: 2 x Haddock and Chips 1 x kids Haddock and chips 1 x kids pizza 2 x beers 2 x soft drinks £72-50 Make your own mind up. The service was great, friendly staff. But the company itself are just ripping off tourists sadly.

Excellent meal with attentive staff. We arrived on the Jacobite Express and had a lovely lunch here. Cullen Skink was excellent, very tasty and the langoustine main course was a huge portion. Staff were lovely and the service was quick.

Restaurant gastronomique de poisson, plats chers mais goûteux , donc à tester . Accueil au top , conseil et gluten free possible pour le pain à la demande , un plus . Très belle adresse

Mallaig was the main stop for our Jacobite Steam Train Ride. With time (1.5 hrs) just for a quick lunch, we came to Fishmarket after another seafood restaurant didn't have room for two of us. Though packed as well, the very nice lady manager found a spot for us, stating we may have to share the table which was fine. Though busy as a bee, she made time to explain the menu, took our orders, and made sure we got our food quick knowing that we had to catch the return train. We had coffee/tea and the seafood chowder which was delicious, along with lovely complimentary bread. If you find yourself in Mallaig, do check this place out. Great food, brilliant service.

In this small restaurant right by the harbour we had delicious Cullen Skink. The mains were a bit pricey but this filled us up - highly recommended. The staff were very friendly and professional too.

Food seems very expensive for the portion and the quality, the worst was that I ended up feeling sick afterwards

Amazing experience . The customer service is just incredible, good vibes! And don’t forget the haddock. Best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten (in my experience)! Definitely a 5/5.

Very pricey. Disappointed that mussels were not available and the langoustines were far too overcooked. The scallops were very fresh, the best out of all what we ordered, but they are a wee bit small with roe on. Another dish we all like is the scallops and prawns chowder.

As vegetarians, there's not much choice in Mallaig as a fishing town, but we ordered their veggie option the Broccoli, Carrot & Coconut Curry with chips to takeaway and was very disappointed ☹️. It was literally just boiled veg with a watery curry-like drizzle with onion on top and chips were not the best either. We know they're quality is probably in the fij products but for £13 quid each it was a bit of a rip off for what we got. We would have been better off paying just for chips for £3 and curry sauce. Had we ordered this in the restaurant I would have asked for a refund and left. But it was the only dinner option left at 8pm on a Thursday. Veggies be warned!

Perfect light lunch when we visited Mallaig briefly on our train trip from Fort William. Lovely food, very good and friendly service, recommended.

Lovely spot just off the harbour, great lunch, very tasty food. Scampi was delicious as was the chowder. Nice friendly staff we chatted with them throughout our meal, food arrived quickly and was nice and hot.

the portions are big and make us totally full, so it’s good based on value for money. their toffe sticky pudding is great! sweet enough but not too much, warm, and served with ice cream, totally fab. their staffs is great as well, very accommodating.

Nice cafe and friendly staff! We mentioned we were in a hurry to catch the ferry and the staff assured us it wouldn't take long. The food served on time and well prepared. We had the peanut butter pumpkin soup and chicken strips which were delicious.

Enjoyed the haddock during the stop over on the Harry Potter train.

Oh my goodness. The food here is amazing. I’ve had a lot of mussels in my day - but their Thai mussels were amazing. The cullen skink was excellent. Thanks so much.

Excellent service,staff very attentive.Meal was excellent albeit quite expensive. ordered the scallops &at £17 a dish was expecting more than 4 scallops.

Visited this evening. Food was very nice but way too expensive for what it was. £32 for a fish dish? Service was good. We felt ripped off for what we got. Scallops and chorizo £32. Monk fish in thai sauce £32 but not even full...

A group of nine of us had dinner at The Fishmarket, which we enjoyed. Booking was easy, even for the party size, a size which several other local restaurants would not take. Service was excellent , and there was no delay in food coming from...

Absolutely the best. Excellent seafood menu. Food of the highest standard superbly cooked and presented. They do small plates for those with less robust appetites. The lightest batter I’ve ever encountered and cooked to perfection.

Great and delicious food, recommend the scallop and prawn chowder! Lovely staff and quick service. Highly recommend.

We arrived in Mallaig on the Jacobite train. We had made a reservation for lunch at The Fishmarket. The restaurant has about ten tables and they filled immediatly after the train arrived. Everyone arrived at the same time and there were only two people waiting...

Amazing food. Ordered the scallops and they were fresh and cooked perfectly. My mother ordered the cream of tomato soup and she said it was really good. If you are visiting Mallaig I woudl recommend this restuaurant.

After checking the reviews online, we decided to book the Fish Market for a late lunch after making the journey from remote Rannoch to Mallaig by train. This was really a good move. The fresh seafood menu was extensive. Usually, we search out some decent fish or seafood from a menu but this time we were totally spoilt for choice and struggled to decide. Eventually we chose langoustines to share as a starter and my husband went for the mussels as a main. I had the scallops with chorizo and without doubt, the tastiest I have ever had. We ended up sharing all of the meals between us and could not fault it. Washed down with a lovely chilled bottle of rose wine, the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly, advising us of different options on the menu. Shout out to Christian and Anna - both an absolute credit to the restaurant. Definitely a reason to return to this quaint little place.

Amazing seafood platter. Great service, took our little two year old and they couldn’t have been more attentive.

We ordered 2 chips and cheese and 2 cans of irn bru to take away. The portions were tiny and definitely not worth the £5 each container! The cans were £2.50 each, we'd have been better going next door to the co-op for juice! £15 for 2 little portions of chips with a little cheese on the top and 2 cans of juice is ridiculous. I'm glad we had the dog and couldn't sit in for an actual meal. We won't be back.

Tasty seafood and quick service. Prices are reasonable as well.

Not recommended to go to this one, unless it is absolutely necessary,those on the opposite of the road are better.

Terrible food. My onion rings were not fully cooked. The staff did not bother to address the issue when pointed out.

Amazing food. I had the scallops and hubby the haddock with the lightest batter he's ever tested. Arrived from Fort William at 3pm, on the Jacobite train, went straight to the restaurant, just as well as they closed the kitchen 30 mins later. Staff very...

Deliciously fresh seafood. Kind, professional and friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. All in all a must visit if you go to Mallaig. My family and I really enjoyed spending our time I this restaurant.

Moules marinières parfaites à recommander : n’hésitez pas

11 EUR für ein knatschiges takeaway Lachsbrötchen, was nichtmal geschmeckt hat

What a GEM of a restaurant. I took my Grandmother here as part of her 80th birthday present. The two waitresses were fabulous, Anna & Laura. Both welcoming, friendly & helpful. A menu to die for! We had the lobster & scallops for the main...

We had the best cullen skink and haddock in all our travel through Scotland there! Not to mention everything elese from daily specials to the fabulous dessert (try the cranachan)! In addition the staff was an absolute delight! We recommend to visit the place in...

We arrived on my birthday in early July following our Scotrail ride from Fort William to enjoy the environs and see the viaduct! I am so glad we chose The Fish Market! I was determined to enjoy the local flavors so I chose Cullen Skink....

Delicious food fresh from the sea. Friendly and knowledgeable staff helped us have an enjoyable evening. I can wholeheartedly recommend the scallops. Accompanied by some Hebridean Gold which was also very good. 🍺

This is a clean, light place, staff very helpful and efficient. I’ve had better fish and chips in a restaurant or chippy but they were pretty good all the same, they were expensive for what came on the plate.

The waitresses are really nice, but the food unfortunately not. We ordered the fish platter with lobster, langoustines and mussels. Both lobster and langoustines were clearly not fresh, probably frozen or pre-cooked. When we asked, the waitress said “they are fresh, I saw them alive...

Very disappointing. London priced for inferior quality. We were really looking forward to fresh fish & seafood. Out of 5 of us, 2 rated their meals “OK”, 1 “Not up to much”, 1 “barely edible” and one downright horrible and abandoned after a nibble. A complaint about the quality resulted in a token £2.50 off the bill. ** but only because the service was excellent

Fabulous 🤩 Don’t let the unassuming interior put you off, the service was very good and the food was exceptional. We had mussels to share as a starter, they were succulent and the white wine sauce was delicious. We followed with the Dover sole and the seared scallops with prawns and chorizo in a langoustine sauce, delicious!! Not cheap but worth every penny 😊

Wir hatten hier nur zwei Suppen und Pommes Frites. Die Suppen waren super lecker. Das dazugereichte Brot war ein normales Baguette, also nichts besonderes. Die Pommes Frites waren etwas trocken und fad.

Tourist fall / Touristenfalle 14.95£ for Hering from glass from supermarket. Oakcake was not self made (my opinion) Do not go here to have lunch - overpriced.

My second visit here after having had some really nice food at this place several years ago. I can safely say that the food is still excellent (you get what you pay for. It's not the cheapest place on the block). They serve fresh local...

Long weekend in Mallaig is a challenging time to find a place to eat. Takeaway fish and chips, an hour wait! Pizza sold out! Sunday night ... then we found the Fish Market! Great fish and chips for only £3 more than the takeaway! A...

Ignore the negative comments! Our lunch was divine. From mussels to fish and chips to the scallops…it was all very fresh and delicious! Great lunch mid train ride!

Excellent scallops. Veins not removed from the prawns. Terribly overpriced.

For the sum of £13 for one portion, this was the smallest, thinnest piece of fish I've ever been served by anywhere serving takeaway fish and chips. The mediocre chips and objectively bad tartare sauce didn't help matters. I wouldn't normally bother to call anywhere...

Ovoid £13pound for takeaway haddock and chips haddock looked like a child's size and chips were frozen chips will be avoiding restaurant now

Specials were varied but main menu was quite standard. Expected more types of fish. However what we chose was good but also expensive. £81 for two starters and mains and half bottle of wine. Hadn’t eaten in this part of Scotland before so putting it...

We called in for lunch as we were doing the Jacobean train trip from fort William and back. Only wanted something light so just had the soup of the day with crusty bread. Very tasty. All the seafood dishes coming out looked good. Very busy...

Excellent seafood restaurant. We arrived just before the Jacobite train arrived, 5 mins later it was full so get your timing right or book. We treated ourselves to the seafood platter for 2 at £80. It was fantastic served with bread and salad 2 halves of lobster, 8 langoustin and a mountain of mussels all beautifully cooked. Service was friendly and efficient. We would thoroughly recommend the Fish market restaurant

Glad we chose this place; bright, well lit, no wait, fast, friendly staff. Fish & chips, scallop soup(made us choose this place), beer, wine and 🍨 @47.40💷

The Food, the staff, the view, everything, just lovely. I have been looking for a quality seafood restaurant since arriving in the highlands. My partner had the scallops, I had the haddock, both meals were exceptional.

When I "barged" into the kitchen to speak to the "chef" I was on crutches awaiting a hip replacement Cheap shot to suggest I only did this because it was a female Regardless your food is overpriced and overcooked

A cold, grey, windy day in Mallaig,(really!) but a visit to The Fish Market soon cheered us all up! Greeted & served by two charming ladies who soon had us happily munching on the local produce, as fresh & delicious as any posh pretentious city...

Very welcoming and friendly restaurant with delicious vegan options. We had a plant based curry and a stir fry which tasted great. Very impressed with the food options here.

Excellent choice on the menu. Very interesting food. Chowder was delicious. Pricey but worth every penny, and service was very friendly

Absolutely beautiful meals - delicious, fresh seafood and vegetarian options were great too. Service was second to none - we were never left waiting and the waiting staff were so friendly and helpful. Will be back next time for sure. Thanks for a lovely evening!

Food quality was good, fish tasted fresh, Anna and Jess were fantastic very friendly and professional, also the location is great.

Wonderful restaurant with great menu at reasonable prices. Enthusiastic, friendly and attractive (!) staff.

9.20 for the smallest portion of fish and chips i have ever seen for a takeaway Basically the same as a school meal never been this irritated over a takeaway what an absolute disgrace

We visited the Fishmarket Restaurant in August on our stay in Mallaig. The food was absolutely amazing and the service 2nd to none. Staff very friendly and nothing too much trouble. I had the langoustine which was so tasty, definitely be back.
