The Fishmarket in Edinburgh, City of

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

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 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.

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.

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

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..

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

Good fish and chip…. Good seafood Great service

The Fishmarket is a bit far from the city center but still a good place to try. The fried squid with vietnamese sauce was fresh and delicious. Same goes to the fried battered haddock which came with fries and pea mush. The fresh oysters were amazing with the lemon, tabasco sauce and vinegar with onion. The fried shrimp and scallops were good too and came with fries. Was not able to have dessert as were so full from the appetizer and main course. Place is clean overlooking the sea and service was great.

The Fishmarket's take away queue was super long and now we know why 🍤🦪🥂🦐🦞🐟 Amazing food! And we felt like we were away on holiday with the atmosphere. Really a place we will visit again!

Great fish and chips. Well worth a visit..

One of the best fish and chips that we’ve ever had and the view was incredible - shout out to Pinja for the outstanding service. Perfect spot for anyone looking for Scotland’s freshest seafood

Outstanding Fish and Chips. Top 3 in Edinburgh 100%.

The fish and chips were really tasty, fish was fresh, peas were well seasoned, chips were crispy. I would strongly recommend that. Btw, the fried chicken was good as well. However this restaurant is always busy, you may need to reserve a table beforehand.

Incredibly great and well-seasoned seafood. I definitely recommend to visit. Calamari and battered cod amazing!

Best fish and chips around, but, far too expensive for what you get. Update: still great food, but portions are smaller. Still recommend.

To eat inside, reservations are essential. Excellent fish'n'chips in the pretty little port of Newhaven. Rather than sticking with a traditional haddock dish, why not try other specialties, such as crab legs? Yum. The chips aren't great, though. Snow pea puree is fun. A good address to know.

Very good fish & chips with different choices of fish so choice compared to the basic! Fair price compared to others and impeccable service!

Best fish & chips I've had for long, I took a supper, the fish is so good it's heaven in the mouth!

Been to probably most places serving fish and chips carry out! Got to try it fresh fish basically straight from the boat it's that close to the fryer I swear it jumped straight in 🤣 yea that fresh ! Good portion of chips fresh also batter crispy perfect absolutely yummy 😋

A beautiful and quiet place on the marina and beautiful for photography 🎥

Overpriced because of TV appearance server at till very obnoxious won't be back.

We were “recommended” by Netflix’s “Somebody feeds Phil” and were not disappointed! Very tasty oysters and my main course, catch of the day, pan-fried fish fillet with buttered potatoes and spinach, was also super tasty! Very nice service

Quite upset with my order this evening. I get the same thing regularly and for some reason tonight my kids portion came with my more chips than my large fish supper.

Fish batter tasty. Chips Tasty. Queues very long and takes much longer than it should do for some fish and chips. Portions could be more consistent (one didn't have many chips)

Amazing, delicious, and as fresh as seafood gets. Outdoor seating is nice as well. Definitely recommended.

The fish sticks are very delicious and the environment is beautiful. Lovely.

Food not as good as previous visits. Chip portions very small with some hard

Loved it, second time here, wish we lived closer

Always a great fish supper here, served very quickly and food was perfectly fresh…. Highly recommend..

A little over-the-top place. The fish market is out of the center, it takes about 30 minutes from the center of Edinburgh by bus. The kitchen is ok.

I came here after being introduced to a good restaurant on Google. Freshly grilled fish and chips, mussels, and 2 glasses of white wine!! It was my first time eating fish and chips, a popular dish in the UK, and it was really delicious. Is it because this restaurant is a gourmet restaurant? Everyone calls it soso and it is so delicious. The mussel dish is 200% better than the restaurant we ate the day before. It tastes like wine!! Anyway, I ate well by myself.

Came as a group of four. We were all not very hungry due to a late lunch. This all changed after trying the pan fried fish of the day (turbot). Simply put the fish was to die for. So much so that o had to order another one. To add to that, the seaside view of the pier makes for a great spot to watch the sunset. Definitely coming back when I visit Edinburgh again. The restaurant is rather small tho, so do book in advance!

Mia the service provider was absolutely 💯 brilliant she made me feel soo welcome very attentive nothing was too much trouble fantastic experience xx

Amazing food The fish is sooooooo good 🤤

Best fish and chips in Edinburgh!

But how well you eat! Delicious fish, very friendly and attentive service. Nice view, fair prices.

Best meal we had in Edinburgh! Best seafood we have had in a long time! The prawn linguine pasta was out of this world! And beautiful views!

It’s great to pack and eat in front of the sea. lol

Good food, but many customers and a line that was too long (1 hour wait).

I just love this place! There's a seasonally long queue, but it's worth it 🥰I am not local, so I go here every time I visit Edinburgh with a car. My favourite dish is Battered Squid with Vietnamese Sauce. The service was fantastic and quick. I always take my friends who are visiting Scotland here.

Not worth it! Basically street-food level fish&chips but for double the price and half the size.

Very delicious food and fast service. We will be back.

After a few communication problems, I got the wrong food/the guy at the checkout was probably new and overwhelmed. But it was delicious and we were full. You have to order it inside to take away and then you can eat at the table outside.

Very good fish and chips (but not the best I've ever eaten), the problem for me was the order management. The fish is fried and placed in a heated pan. Usually the fish remains there for a short time but, unfortunately, one of the two portions served to us had been waiting for at least twenty minutes. The portion was lukewarm and no longer crunchy. Because of the wait, this can be a little annoying. Sauces (meager) must be paid separately

That was delicious! And right at a cozy harbour

I've wanted to eat here for a long time after seeing it on TV. It was without doubt the best fish, chips and mushy peas I've ever had. The only thing that let it down was the curry sauce! 3 of us ordered it and left it, I can't explain why it was SO terrible but it was! That said, I've told the world how amazing the was today, I've just been sure to add to avoid the curry sauce!

Best Fish & Chips, enough said.

Great food, service, venue and music. Highly, highly recommended

A bit pricey, but the food and service is great

Finally.. after 2 trials, we finally made it to dine here and we weren’t disappointed! The mussels marinere was fresh and fantastic. We couldn’t stop eating the moment it arrived. Their signature haddock fish and chips was among the best fish & chips we had. The haddock was fresh and meaty, and for once the mushy peas actually tasted nice. But my favorite was the battered monkfish - more flavorful and meaty. We also shared some smoked haddock chowder - the big smokey taste was very prominent. Maybe a tab too strong.

Fish could be a little bit less oily, but apart from that it's great.

The food here is excellent, but you need a reservation to enter the restaurant. We stood in line at the so-called buffet. It was really hot, but the food was worth it. If you are in port - do not miss this place.

Book a table or you won't get in. Great service and food.

Came here after hearing of it from a TV show and did a day trip. There wasn’t a queue, had a chat with the man behind the counter and took his recommendation of monkfish and chips, which was perfection. Juicy monkfish with a crisp batter, chips were beautifully cooked, crispy exterior and fluffy inside. Well cooked fish and chips.

There is very tasty fish and chips here. Kede portions are freshly prepared. There is a large selection of different fish, mussels, lobster and vegetarian alternatives. In addition to classic chips, there are also pea puree and the like as side dishes. There is the option of having smaller portions prepared for children. It is possible to sit in the restaurant with service and take a seat outside in the self-service area with a view of the harbor.

Nice... in line with the prices and good quality!

Just too good!!! Amazing food and atmosphere. Eating from a paper box on a terrace overlooking the sea only elevates the whole experience. :) Also the staff is super nice!

A great fish restaurant and takeaway, though slightly pricy

2 x fish supper small white wine + one pint inc service charge we left £60. All what we got was a flat / dry piece of something which I find hard to call a fish not even mentioned a tiny handful of chips. Honestly 80% of it it was breadcrumb and nothing else, won’t be back that’s for sure !

The name just fits the taste Fish market ... I love my fish and chips

Staff really friendly and helpful. Food great & service.

Delicious, crispy yet light fish and chips. Grabbed a box to go and sit outside and enough the view.

Excellent battered cod fish and chips, and the smoked salmon starter was lovely. Nice harbour location, outdoor seating is possible if you order takeaway. Dine-in is indoor seating only.

Monkfish supper is out of this world

Very good food, fresh fish 🐟 and good service

Great fish, highly recommended.

Good fish and chips, hideously expensive though with the “harbour view tax”

Found this a much smaller area than expected, lots of tables crammed in and lot of bustle, Noise didn’t bother us tho. Went to loo before dining and toilets were far from clean, let’s hope that not reflective of kitchen hygiene standards! Waitress pleasant and service efficient. Scampi v good, Buttermilk chicken v good. My young son commented that it could do with something else on plate ie veg portion. I felt scampi ought to have tartare sauce inc in price too. Portion I got at additional 1.50 didn’t take me more than half way through dinner. Daughter had shellfish stew..was about half litre of bland bisque with only a few bits of seafood. She is eleven and commented on lack of fish in the portion. Mussels were good and tasty but again portion control was tight - about 2/3 of standard pot which disappointing. All in all we were underwhelmed. Food good, portions poor as above, additionals £5 a pop! Believe there will be far better value establishments in the city which we will visit for the next week of our stay.

we went here for dinner (takeaway) because of the good google reviews. it was an excellent idea. of course, deep-fried fish is no easy fare, but it really tasted good here. we tried different things. ambience: sitting outside on the pier and eating delicious food - without the seagulls attacking you - it's fantastic. waiting time: we were lucky and only had to wait about 10 minutes for our turn - it got really busy after 6pm.

My wife loved the scallops and chorizo, and I thought it was very well done. But we came for the fish and chips. Not sure exactly what I was expecting, but after having fish and chips at a few other places on this trip, I thought it was nothing special. I wanted to kick it up a notch but was told they did not have hot sauce. A spicy version on request should be offered. We originally saw this place on a tv show in the us and was very excited to go there. I had to ask for napkins. You would think a dish that you use your fingers for this was automatically, but no.

What a spot to enjoy an afternoon.

Excellent restaurant.....very friendly staff, efficient......I had mussels as a main.....and friends all had the fish and chips.....all fresh made, as you can see the two chefs preparing your dishes as you sit in restaurant......Large varied menu....Inc whole lobster for £50......Will be back.......

Excellent cuisine! Unfortunately there was very little space so we were asked to eat outside.

Goodness me! What a place! Sat at the bar and had the most delicious meal. The service was brilliant too! For starter I had the chowder - which was sensational! For main 1/2 lobster - wish I'd gone for the whole thing! Even the pudding (banana cake) was amazing. Some great wine and whisky pairings were recommended too. Throughly recommend. Beautiful spot, with amazing views.

Menu used to be more elaborate, offering lots of fish instead of plain haddock. Unfortunately that has changed and they've moved to a much more commercial production line model.

A wonderful restaurant..the most delicious fish and chips you can taste in Edinburgh The seabass bitter is delicious I recommend it and try it again
