The Fishmarket in Edinburgh, City of

Really loved it. I tried Squid, prawns and also fish and chips there.

We order grilled cod, grilled haddock and chicken. The cod is the best, so buttery and fresh. Really match with tartar sauce. And the service is amazing. Eating outside with the nice view.

The people here are really friendly, and I had the fish and chips, which were amazing—crispy, and perfectly cooked. Although the queue was long, it’s understandable because it's such a popular chippy. The location is also a highlight, with a lovely sea view that makes the experience even better.

Great spot to visit near the waterfront in Edinburgh. We wanted to supplement our full lunch order with one additional item from the next door and they raised a huge stink and told me we couldn’t eat items from other establishments. While it is understandable to draw a line on outdoor space given its scarcity, the fact that a large order was made them seem a bit petty. In fact, they soured the entire experience despite their food being wonderfully prepared.

Excellent service lovely staff 👍

Went here for lunch with friends. Best seafood lunch ever! Prawn scampi to die for. Well worth the price. Much more than a fish supper.

I had the opportunity to visit the Fischmarket, and I have to say it was a fantastic experience! 🐟🍟 The fish was incredibly fresh and its flavor was simply breathtaking. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just as they should be. The service was fast and friendly, and the environment was welcoming and clean. I can't wait to return to enjoy these delicious dishes again! If you are a fish and chips lover, this is the place for you. Absolutely recommended!

Had high hopes for the best tasting fish supper in the city, but this failed to live up to expectations. Scallops were overcooked, battered fish was dry, curry sauce did not taste like the usual chip shop curry and tartar sauce lacked freshness and dill. Overall, not a bad restaurant, but just not the hype that people make it out to be.

When asked where to get the best fish and chips in Edinburgh, our hotel told us this restaurant. - The journey by tram takes a long time, but we were not disappointed. The fish is really big ("large"), crispy and, above all, not drowned in oil. The pea puree was also delicious and there was nothing to complain about with the fries. You can tell from the location that it was a former market hall or something similar. There are also outdoor spaces with views over the harbor. We were there in December. If you are sensitive to the cold, you should choose your table carefully - the seats near the door are a bit drafty.

Everything is good. My lobster was cooked beautifully. It tasted naturally sweet and got aromatic grill char smell.

The food in this place is really good. Can't fault it, the service however is really bad. We went during oyster happy hour and they took our order at 5:58 and we asked if it would still be OK during the happy and the waitress said it would be. We only found out when we got the bill that they charged the full amount. The waitress said it was because she entered it in their system after the hour ended. Fine. But tell us before giving us the bill? Probably just a bad waitress as she was quite young, but the manager didn't help much either. Proper scam.

Best fish and chips i have ever tasted. Wonderful stuff and nice atmosphere. Thanks 👍🏾

Our go to place when we are in Edinburgh meeting up with a friend. Never been disappointed with the service or the food, and once again we had spot on service and delicious food. Thank you!

They always miss the HP sauce for my takeaway. It's happened 2-3 times now. Just get your staff to read the order notes when packaging!!! Also chips didn't taste fresh and food was not hot. Will not order from here again, this was the last time.

Food was great. Service was OK. The restaurant area is smaller than i had thought, so I'm glad we booked ahead because I'm not sure we would have gotten a table without this. Great views out over the harbour from the restaurant.

Excellent service, great food, very friendly but not over attentive staff, great atmosphere and buzz around the place. Look forward to visiting again

I have been to The Fishmarket many times and have never been let down - it is simply the best Chippy in Edinburgh. The food is cooked fresh and the service is friendly and efficient. To be honest, I have never sat in, as I tend to go when it is nice weather so that I can sit closer to the sea - fish always tastes better when you are as close to the sea as possible. I always have the fish - which is always flakey and tasty. But my partner has often had the squid which comes with a wonderful dipping sauce (so much so that my Nephew kept a piece of the squid in his pocket whilst he played on the park so that he could have it later).

The fish & chips was great and the service was also good. The only problem was that the place was boiling hot. Obviously they are frying fish etc so this is going to generate heat but I did notice they had A/C so could have controlled the temperature in the restaurant if they wanted. A shame because we would have spent more time and money but the temperature was way to high to stay.

An atypical and original atmosphere, fresh and super well prepared products!!! A pleasant and warm service 🥰

Good quality fresh fish! Chowder is amazing!

Our server was so pleasant and friendly and the food was delicious.

Fantastic place for a seafood platter. Will go again. Service was amazing too

We called in on spec and were lucky enough to get a table, only just surfing the formation of a queue. Really affable, friendly staff. Attentive without being intrusive, enquiring without pressurising. And now, onto the best bit, the food. We had the monkfish curry. It was, without doubt, one of the most pleasant curries we've ever had. Tasty, spicy without being oppressive and full of fish. Having this with some bread meant we couldn't find room for a dessert. Well worth a visit - and probably a revisit!

Best fish and chips in Edinburgh

The server was wonderful, friendly & helpful. The restaurant is lovely, and the food was delicious!

Best fish and chips in Edinburgh!

Top food, very good location at the harbor and competent service. We had the fish platter and fish & chips with the shrimp cocktail. Were very excited

Really nice place. Not mant places do Cod Loin. Yes it's smaller in length but it's thicker and more tender and is the perfect way to serve Cod. Haddock is a traditional single fillet which is nice not the angel cut haddock and they do homemade mushy peas which I think is probably the only place in Scotland what does them

Great service and a fantastic selection of fish to choose from.

I’ll be honest, the fish and chips were really good, we really enjoyed them and the place is lovely. I don’t believe the hygiene rating for this place is accurate though. The cutlery had hair on it and did not look clean, and the waiter who swapped out cutlery was openly wiping his snot with his bare hands. Seeing that made me really regret having lunch here. It’s such a shame since the food was really good. If that’s going on in front of customers, I can’t imagine the hygiene standards in the kitchen. Would not recommend.

Excellent smoked haddock chowder followed by classic fish & chips. All very fresh and tasty with attentive and friendly service.

Absolutely cannot fault. Pricey, yes, but worth it. We went for standard fish supper (so, fish with chips), mushy peas and a single portion of haggis bonbons. Everything was steamin' hot, the fish was meaty and a reasonable portion of chips that were perfectly seasoned (few places get the salt:vinegar ratio correctly but he definitely did!) We ate them on the picnic benches outside with lovely, misty/harr-y views over the Firth of Forth. A short walk the tram stop (end of the line at Newhaven) and well worth the travel.

The food is delicious. I recommend trying the fish and shrimp

Such delicious and fresh fish with a stunning view of the Harbour. We were spoilt with beautiful weather on this autumn day.

Fish snack, nothing special. Fresh fish that tastes better elsewhere. You have to change your clothes afterwards because of the smell of grease, and the toilets aren't particularly clean.

Used to be really good but food quality and portion size has dramatically changed over the past few months

Very good food. Very good price and quality! Gladly again :)

Fast and friendly service, very good food & the location including the surroundings was really nice.

Lovely place with amazing foods, if you spend some days in Edinburgh you have to try it!

This is out favourite chippie in Scotland! We don’t live in Edinburgh but have driven all the way there just for the fishmarket. Love the. Monkfish, Crab Claws, Muscles and generally most things on the menu! So glad they extended the outside part to have the tables to sit and eat takeaway We have eaten inside in the restaurant too, which is nice as they have a few additional items in the menu.

Enjoyed the food and service here. Grateful to the service staff for being proactive helpful to the requests we had to handling our toddler. Well worth a visit but do make reservations beforehand.

Great spot overlooking Newhaven harbour and the Firth of Forth. Excellent menu with good options for non-fishy-fanatics (pure vegans might struggle for choice?) and great front of house team too. Worth the trip down (200m from the end of the tram line).

They cooked everything fresh. That’s taking time. However, it was a bit too long for outside the rush hour. We found the price/benefit rather high. Overall it was good, but we would go elsewhere next time.

Delicious seafood, nice view. Great choice for dinner!

The best fish & chip shop in edinburgh by far 👍

One of the best “fish & chips” I had so far. They have a great selection of fresh fish which you can get as starter or main. I can recommend trying both! They have a great outdoor terrace which offers great view over the Bay Area

Had a takeaway, really tasty. There wasn't a massive wait as the queue was low due to the timer off day.

Delicious food in this nice tent. Friendly staff and excellent prices.

Have had fish and chips here a few times in the past and it’s always been our favourite chippy ever but had it delivered today and it wasn’t as good as it used to be. Still good but when it’s not like it was it’s disappointing.

The haddock supper was gorgeous and such good value.

Pedido le faltaban patatas fritas grandes, restaurante con la culpa, pedido no revisado completamente por el restaurante o el repartidor. No es aceptable ya que es una comida muy cara para el cumpleaños de mi esposo. Mal así que por lo tanto la entrega a domicilio a través de Uber come. Cero estrellas

Two of us for Friday evening dinner. Great food and friendly service.

Just received a delivery through an uber order . Cod and chips . We joked about how fish n chips is the only takeaway that doesn’t taste better the 2nd day . Our delivery WAS a 2nd day takeaway. Chips weren’t fresh . Cold and clearly from last night . The cod was half the usual size and not fresh ,we order often . It’s been double fried everything has . When we phoned the restaurant the fact we ordered through über eats seemed to mean the restaurant was absolved of any blame . Do uber staff come in and make the food ?

Just ok. Could be better. Food was average.

Had a fish supper, was fantastic the batter was so crispy and the Fisk melted in the mouth

Top notch fish n chips restaurant that also does take away. Fish is fantastic, with lots of varieties, cooked in different ways and good sauces.

Overpriced, fish not fresh and overall a sense of being taken for a ride. £14 for some squid rings was a complete rip off. There are far better fish and chip shops for locals and tourists to go to at much less cost. Nobody goes for deep fried lobster, monkfish etc and tend to go for haddock or cod and chips - standard chip shop fare so it’s a place built on hype by the internet and has become a con, in my opinion but we have seen this before many times.

We went without a reservation on a lunch on Monday, and it was packed! Would definitely recommend reserving during summer and high peak times in general. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff was great and very helpful, my husband is vegan and they were able to find delicious alternatives for him as well (curry cauliflower for the win) Views on the Lighthouse were fantastic, cannot recommend this place enough!

If you are a fan of seafood, you must visit it. If you are in Edinburgh, the food is delicious and the place is nice. It has indoor and outdoor seating, but it requires a reservation. I came without a reservation and sat in the bar seating. The food is very, very delicious and the price is reasonable. The staff are very nice and helpful. If you are a fan of seafood, you must pass by if you are in Edinburgh. The food is delicious and the place is nice. There is indoor and outdoor seating, but you need a reservation.

I come here just to eat the mussels they’re so yummy

We loved it here! Delicious food, amazing service!

Good fish supper not quite the best I've had. House of bruar for example or Anstruher.

Billed as the best fish & chips in the world, according to BBC program How It's Made. The fish & chips are extremely tasty. We had a great time. Yet the fish & chips in Howth at Wrights score a full 10 out of 10.

I chose this particular place with the hope of trying Scottish lobster (but East Coast lobster was available). The entrance to the restaurant is quite unclear (first you have to choose the right entrance, one for takeaway food, another entrance to the restaurant, you have to press a button to enter). We came about half an hour after opening, the restaurant was full, so we had to wait 10 minutes for a table to become free. We were seated at the bar (but it was for the best as the barista saved the impression of this place both with service and cocktails) . The seafood was not bad, but the fries that came with them were not tasty and dry. It was the first time I spent £60 per person and left the restaurant hungry.

We had their fish and chips and prawn scampi. It was so good! Great service and warm atmosphere though it was a rainy day.

Great food but extremey expensive, very noisy in the restaurant, £19 for fish & chips. Toilet could have been cleaner.

Best fish and chips I've ever had

Their haddock and chips are the best I’ve had anywhere

Nice place, good food. Nice staff. Good local beer.

The best fish and chips I have eaten in the United Kingdom, the monkfish one is recommended, very delicious

Still served me and my friend at rhe last minute that they wanted to close, so we didnt starve that night :'D

Oyster and Fish and Chips - fresh from the Ocean 😉

one of the best places to eat in Edinburgh. we had oysters, soup and large fish and chips to share. everything was excellent

nice palace to stop have a tea and food

Sadly didn't get to eat here,but just wanted to say a big thankyou to whoever made up an ice pack for my eye,when I slipped close to your shop and badly bruised my eye.It made all the difference. So again a huge thankyou.

The picturesque setting in Newhaven, Scotland with small harbor and lighthouse. Taste buds set for good menu of seafood and other items. Takeaway service very good with umbrellas over outdoor seating.

For better hygiene, it's recommended to use tongs when handling food products like fish, as opposed to using gloves that have come into contact with various surfaces including the payment terminal and other items.

The food was incredibly delicious, freshly prepared, and the atmosphere was fantastic, thanks to the wonderful staff and the great soundtrack. I’d love to return and highly recommend it.

The fish and chips here were amazing! We came on a sunny day, and watching the sun set over the coast while enjoying our food was a great experience. One of the few places where you could eat your fish and chips without any sauces and not be a complete psychopath

We had haddock with chips for takeaway. No que for us and also the service was extra friendly. The fish was very tasty but the fries were soggy and not our taste. 1.5£ for the dips is a little bit too much for me. Still a recommendation for tasty fried fish.

The previous restaurant had better choice… expensive

My favourite chippie in Edinburgh without a doubt and certainly my first stop when friends visit. Beautiful harbour location can’t be beat and outdoor seating with heaters and umbrellas for half the section usually means we have somewhere comfy to enjoy the fish and chips. Takeaway: downside is you’ll often find quite a queue and that’s because everything is fresh and made to order. Would like to say the queue moves fast but I’ve definitely ended up waiting an hour in this line before - which can be unbareable on a sunny day as it heats up like a greenhouse. Pity they can’t make the pickup order system work. Staff are usually super busy and straight to the point (I would be too if I had to explain the menu to every tourist tbd) but great people overall. Food is simply amazing with perfect batter. Look no further for a prime fish and chips experience. Restaurant: pros - you don’t have to wait an hour in the greenshouse. Cons: somehow convinced the food doesn’t taste the same if it’s not in a paper box but might be my own biased. But seriously, somehow manage to triple what you end up spending next door with drinks, appetisers and all that getting involved.

Great for tourists, mediocre for locals! The Fishmarket’s prices have become ludicrous and the quality of the food is also not a good as it used to be. £7 for a small chowder with mostly potatoes? £14 for a supper?

Lovely on the terrace in the sun. Friendly staff. Only you come for the food. The fish is haddock...some mealy fish. The fries were dry and limp. Mayo very.nasty. In short, unfortunately not recommended. Which is a shame because we came here after a TV program 5 years ago... this is said to be the best fish and chips. Unfortunately we didn't find that. Brown sauce is not my thing

Great spot for some fish and chips with a wonderful view to enjoy while eating.

Beautifully decorated restaurant, great, fast and professional service and excellent fish and chips! I highly recommend it!

Visited the fishmarket with the family last night, the service was brilliant, the staff were so friendly and went above and beyond creating a me a chocolate sundae instead of a fruit one which made the evening for me. All six of us ordered different things on all courses and absolutely everything that arrived at the table not only looked delicious but also tasted delicious. I could happily have eaten anything on the menu it was all great. Although I forgot to photograph it my battered monkfish was so good. Would definitely return on future visits to Edinburgh and would recommend this restaurant highly to anyone who was coming here. Below in order is fried squid, fish sharing board, garlic prawns, special board seafood risotto, battered cod, regular battered haddock, chorizo scallops, 6 Langoustines, chocolate sundae, strawberries and cream with chocolate rubble and the pavlova

Food was amazing great smoked fish platter and mussles dish was fantastic

The service was fast and friendly, and the food was superb - the best fish we've had in a long time. Highly recommended. Easy to reach by Edinburgh tram to Newhaven.

The fish and chips were delicious and the atmosphere was great, but the service could use some work.

Really good fish and chips. Booking essential if you want to sit in. Otherwise you can get takeaway and eat outside around the harbour and pier.

The venue is located directly on Leith Harbour, with lovely views of the moored boats and the ocean. We ate à la carte, but Fishmarket also offers the "take away" option, with a large selection of products, all of great quality: the oysters were very fresh, caught that morning, and the fries were perfect, without being heavy. Luckily we found an Italian guy on the staff - very kind! - who was able to advise us and explain the menu well. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Great experience!

Food is really great, and the staff is very attentive and polite.

I had the most divine scallops and a mean mojito beforehand

Best oysters! They deserve their own category. The mussels are gently bathed in an exquisite broth that doesn't rely on a overly garlicky background. Shouldn't be missed if you're visiting Edinburgh.

I had monk fish and chips. It was fresh and delicious. The best fish&chips I had in Britain alongside The Wee Hurrie in Troon. Andy and rest of the stuff members were pleasant. I’ll definitely go back.

Best fish and chips eaten in Scotland. Excellent Crispy fish with generous servings. Loved the view. Totally worth it. Excellent staff.

Our favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. The fried squid and grilled langoustines are especially delicious. Lovely views for a romantic dinner, and great service.

Definitely the place where seafood lovers should go..

I love it: I go there every time before taking the bus to the airport (stop right next door). The portions are extra generous, and in good weather, it's a great lunch break! The haggis balls are delicious, the same goes for the fish. Many thanks
