The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Scotland

We saw the great reviews for this place and decided to go for our birthday lunch. Naturally the satnav took us round in a couple of circles, but we found it with two minutes to spare before our reservation time. There is plenty of space on the sloping carpark, and access for the less mobile is via a gently sloping ramp. The dining room itself is on one level at the top of the ramp, with absolutely gorgeous views out to sea and the headland towards Banff. There is a separate section, which is up a couple of steps, and which presumably just improves that view. The waiting area by the bar has comfy wingback chairs, and the dining area is furnished with dark wood tables, and chairs which are a mix and match of fabric and leather look material. The latter are a bit worse for wear but it looks as if they are on a rolling replacement system. The ambience is pleasant, the staff friendly and helpful, service efficient and reasonably fast. The menu is a delight. Spoilt for choice, but there is something for all tastes. You can download the restaurant and quick lunch menu to save me explaining further. I took the Cullen Skink Risotto. A thick soup with rice, obviously, topped with a beautifully poached egg, and crispy potato sticks. Gorgeous. He chose the Chicken Liver Parfait. I tried it. Chicken livers are not my scene, but this was rather good. He said excellent. For mains, he chose Beef Three Ways. All three were superbly cooked, according to him, but the little pie and the sauce stood out. I chose Duo of Pork, roast pork squares served on beautiful creamy mash with leeks, and braised savoy cabbage, plus a little pie, which was light, moist and awesome, topped off with nicely cooked veg and a lovely peppercorn sauce. We didn’t want puds but had to test them for research purposes! His ice cream was really good, but my crème brulee was something else, the custard beyond wonderful, and the sugar top simply defied belief So. Yes the views are superb, but the food beats them! Recommended!!

Wow wow wow! Ondine at Seaton House was the most fabulous experience. Firstly the setting, sea views in a beautifully decorated room. It’s comfortable, sophisticated but super welcoming as well. The food is Roy Brett’s usual perfection. We enjoyed a range of seafood and beef all cooked and presented beautifully. Finally, the staff are charming and super professional. Shout out to Craig and Roy for looking after us so well. Most definitely worth the trip north to St Andrews. And look forward to coming back soon.

The staff were unsure if they could have us seated without a table reservation. This seemed strange as the place was empty. Didn’t enjoy the chicken steak - the sauce was gingery and strange. The beef in surf’n’turf was rubbery and didn’t taste fresh.

Very good food, and the staff is also very attentive and friendly. Anyone who likes fish will love this restaurant.

Nice airy bookshop.all departments well signposted. Friendly staff. Lovely cafe on the 1st floor overlooking Argyle Street. Great shopping experience.📚📚

Hi, Called into today had buttermilk wrap and chips with a diet coke. Staff were very friendly, great atmosphere considering it wasn't busy at the time of my visit. I have to give a special mention to Aiden , who is gergous and if he ever wants a date get in contact. I ground the place extremely friendly and welcoming even the other customers were chatty Def be back

Had to write a review as I had a great experience last Friday. Phoned to book and the girl couldn’t be more helpful. When we arrived our server was cheerful and helpful. The food was fantastic, fresh hot and crispy. What a great experience

Stopped off at Dunkeld Fish Bar today and couldn’t have been more impressed! We had white pudding suppers (each), a single fish (lovely crispy battered haddock), and a spicy haggis single — all cooked fresh while we waited. The quality was excellent — proper fresh ingredients, crispy batter, and generous portions. The owner was a very warm and welcoming host, and the staff were great fun — really friendly and made the whole experience even better. Prices were very reasonable too, especially compared to some other fish and chip shops these days. We took our food down to the banks of the River Tay and enjoyed it on a bench overlooking the water (while fending off a few seagulls who fancied our chips!). A fantastic spot, wonderful food, great service — if you’re in or around Dunkeld, I highly recommend popping into the Dunkeld Fish Bar. We’ll definitely be back!

What a lovely restaurant that clearly supports local businesses and fishermen. We visited on a weekday lunchtime and there were lots of occupied tables, a good sign. Dog friendly and they even removed a chair to give him more room and offered water for him, which is lovely. Nice clean and bright atmosphere and the waitress was super friendly and helpful. The scallops starter was divine and the homemade bread to mop up the garlic butter was a great touch. The smoked haddock and cheddar fish cakes were another highlight and I liked the way you could choose your sides and sauce. Only one fresh catch of the day, but that is understandable given the nature of the beast - the sole was lovely. Thank you for being a highlight of Redventures trip north...

Decided to visit as the chippy is near the sea harbour and has a restaurant part to sit down and enjoy your meal. Experienced possibly the worst fish and chips Ive ever had. The batter around my fish was not crispy but strange and bendy like it’s was made of plasticine. The fish inside had a weird mushy texture with a faint tinge of fairy liquid mixed with something else, disgusting. Chips fared no better they were not crispy but again bendy…seems to be a theme here. It appears they didn’t have the fryer hot enough to get crispy chips and batter or they were using really old oil….this I don’t understand. If you cook fish and chips all day you should be an expert at doing this limited cuisine..not many things to perfect or get wrong. The restaurant is poorly designed sitting near the window was an uncomfortable and sweaty experience like being in a crappy conservatory. Unpleasant. Toilets were filthy and looked like they had been decorated by. drunken 2 year old. Came away and felt unwell all day…think I consumed too much old chip fat oil. Avoid!

I used to absolutely love this chippy. My family has been going for years, and with us living just three miles away, it’s always been a firm favourite. Unfortunately, after my most recent experience, it’s now a place I will never visit again. At the end of November, my husband and I ordered seven portions of food for ourselves, our children, and my father. Once we arrived and paid, a member of staff made a comment to the woman preparing our order: "I’m not doing this order, I’ll just poison it." This employee has a brief history with my husband and clearly still holds a grudge. Shocked and horrified, I contacted the owner that evening. After a few exchanges, I was advised that this is now considered a civil matter and was told to contact the company’s lawyers. It’s baffling that a company would think it’s acceptable for employees to threaten customers. My advice to anyone working in public-facing roles: if you can’t handle certain situations, perhaps working with the public isn’t the right choice. This whole incident is both sad and embarrassing—for the employee involved and the company as a whole.

Best chipper been to for long time and very well priced also

Order completely wrong, incompetent bunch at this place and they don't care. Probably can't even spell or read.

Jantamos duas vezes aqui. A comida é óptima, tem sopa (o que não acontece em todos os restaurantes), opções de peixe e sobremesas excelentes. Serviço amigável. No primeiro dia fizemos reserva, no segundo tivemos sorte - definitivamente é melhor fazer reserva.

Great fish and chips. Freshly cooked to order.
