The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Scotland

I booked with slight trepidation after reading some mixed reviews. Staying at Fionnphort or 2 nights with my wife to visit Iona & Staffa and as the trip coincided with my wife's birthday I booked the Ninth Wave as a treat. We both eat out regularly in Scotland and abroad and have been lucky enough to visit some Michelin starred places over the years. The service at Ninth Wave was slightly quirky but very pleasant and the dining room small but very relaxed. The quality of food served was beyond expectations and on a par with some Michelin starred establishments. The format is akin to a tasting menu with 3 or 4 smaller plates (#4 is dessert), cheese as an optional extra and coffee / petit fours included. We shared a decent bottle of white from an interesting list. I had scallops and wood pigeon while my wife had the mackerel and crab stuffed courgette blossom. We both chose the half lobster "main" course. the Pigeon was slightly tough but otherwise the food was faultless. The lobster was exceptional and so refreshing to see it on a menu without the usual pricing supplement. Fabulous evening - thank you Carla and John. We will visit again one day.

Excellent freshly cooked food , small menu but was more than adequate for people’s tastes , staff are lovely . Food excellent as well . Good choice of drinks .

Absolutely the best fish and chips in this area. Ig is a real treat and the service is always very friendly and professional.

We had a fantastic time at Flavour- the tasting menu was full of new ideas: locally foraged mushroom and seaweed, for instance. Great fish and really tender venison. Chris's enthusiasm as he explains what's behind each dish really shines through. They are planning to open for a few dates over the winter, so worth a check even if it's out of season.

Très bien situé personnel accueillant et on a beaucoup apprécié les raviolis aux crabes avec coquille saint jacques et morue

Please please please open up again. I don't mind paying extra as the quantities and qualities of food are stupendous. 😋😘🤗

This place is definitely worth a visit! The scallops were lovely and fresh and the honesty box is heart warming. There are two fridges. One for pre-orders and another stocked with a variety of scallops and oysters. Would recommend doing the nearby circular scenic drive to Kneep Beach. Such a stunning beach!

I knew not to expect lobster in November but I’d hoped for langoustines or maybe scallops at a push. Not to worry, haddock tacos sounded great! Love tacos, love haddock, so jumped at them and also ordered a kids fish & chips with a side order of mushy peas. I was the only person in and didn’t particularly enjoy having to listen to the young fella in the kitchen ranting about vegans and vegan food for 10 minutes. I’m clearly not vegan but I wouldn’t have enjoyed hearing rants about anything, especially calling people weirdos and generally being unpleasant. Not a great atmosphere to be waiting in. It was a mixed bag to be honest. The mushy peas were not, they were more of a pea & mint purée, not pleasant. The tacos were surprisingly bland. Of course I wasn’t expecting great Mexican food in a tiny village in the Highlands but I did expect some flavour. Even the fish was unseasoned. Luckily I was taking home and had guacamole and chipotle sauce to hand. The fish was plentiful and perfectly cooked though. And the batter (despite the lack of seasoning) was probably the best I’ve ever had. Light, crispy and golden. The fish and chips were faultless. Not chips as you’d maybe expect from a chippy, more like fries but they were really good and well seasoned. I’d probably have made this a 3.5 but I’m happy to give 4. The young woman serving was really pleasant and helpful and countered the rants from the kitchen (she handled him well too, better than I would have). I’d definitely return and recommend but wouldn’t recommend the tacos.

Stopped by for a quick lunch it was everything I hoped for langoustines were delicious would definitely recommend and look forward to a return visit

Some of the best food I've ever had, and I've travelled the world. Try the prawn bap. It's incredible We are back on Gigha next summer and heading straight to the Nook.

Great crab sandwiches and smoked salmon sandwiches. Lobster salad is also very good value for money and very tasty. Highly recommended

Wonderful wee place, well worth a visit if you want to buy a delicious takeaway lobster or crab lunch. We bought small tubs of lobster salad, it was so tasty and fresh, and they were only £6 each. It was our favourite meal of our holiday. There are a couple of picnic tables outside, if you want to eat beside the small harbour. You can also order online for collection, they sell amazing seafood platters. They sell some nice gifts too. The Lobster Shop is not too far from St Cyrus Beach, if you are looking to buy a picnic.

Amazing spot next to a wonderful beach! Me and my 7 year old came down for a wee walk around and then realised how lovely the beach was and how nice the day was so went back and got my wife and 2 year old. Had a flat white the first time I was there and served by a very friendly lady had a little chat about her menu. Tacos aren’t something you can find anywhere in Dunbar so when I returned later my wife we got the beef tacos and a few tins of juice and I have to say there where absolutely lovely! The kind lady (owner I think) also brought them down onto the beach for us while I was setting up with our young ones! 100% will be back again and telling people about you guys! Keep up the great work!

Mark and Lucy run a great restaurant AND hotel. Very gracious and great food. Breakfasts with the room and yummy. We also enjoyed meeting their two yellow labs.

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!
