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.

We visited this restaurant for lunch today while on a one day visit to Fraserburgh. The service was excellent and the food did not disappoint. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the area.

Flavour Flavour is probably the best dining experience I have ever encountered. The food tastes fantastic and is beautifully presented, and Chris’ commentary on how it was gathered and prepared adds a depth to the dining experience that enhances one’s appreciation of and enjoyment of each dish. Add to that the fun of watching Chris and Alex actually plate each dish in the open-kitchen dining area, and the whole experience is absolutely wonderful! Each dish, many of them using ingredients foraged from the hills and shores of the Isle of Harris, provided an explosion of wonderful tastes. The island is a great place to visit for its natural beauty and friendly people, but even if that weren’t the case, a chance to dine at Flavour would make a trip there worthwhile.

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 was a really special last night to a beautiful stay in Mull, we feel like we found a secret in this wonderful place and lucky to have got a table Recommended to us on a boat trip the food was simply divine, complex and reminiscent of past lost tastes. Leave yourself in the trusted hands and go for the selected wine choices. You could taste the enthusiasm and love that went into the preparation. We will be back. Thank you.

This is a new addition to the eating options in Tobermory - and will completely put it on the map as not only’ vaut le detour’, Michelin style, but as a destination in its own right . I had the tasting menu, my partner the a la carte ( so first, no nonsense about the whole table has to have the tasting menu)- the venue is bright, the welcome warm and informative, and the food - some of the best I’ve ever had. The langoustine and halibut courses were absolutely delicious whilst the scallops - with fennel oil and white chocolate sauce, amongst other flavours- the best I’ve ever had. Totally brilliant. Sauces for all the meat and fish , absolutely imaginative, some unusual, and worked! Wine choices delicious, atmosphere ‘ local’- tables talking to each other! ‘ and welcoming - ‘ walk ins’ were warmly greeted. All in all - an experience. And again - the food - superb. I didn’t take any photos but someone will….. we’ll done, and I wish you all the success you strongly deserve!

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

What a great shop and seafood ‘ hut .’ I could eat here every day ! A really friendly place and the food was to die for , fresh and shortly cooked . I had the scallops . Thanks so much for a lovely lunch !!

An amazing spot for coffee, cake or lunch. Varied menu with delicious food, lovely coffee and superb cakes all with a gorgeous sea view.

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

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 had seen this place advertised everywhere and heard them on a few radio stations too, as they are selling deep fried creme eggs and we had always wanted to try them so we popped in and werent disappointed.. The prices are very reasonable compared to other chip shops in the area and they have a few unusual things in the menu like deep fried pickled onions, deep fried lorne slice sausage and any deep fried sweets you want. We ordered chip rolls and some deep fried creme eggs and were pleasantly surprised. They were very tasty and the chips were lovely and crispy, just how I like them. We will definitely be back!

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!
