The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Highlands and Islands

First day popped it at 3.50pm, ordered coffee and cake, told to take a seat, items duly brought to table. Then someone from behind the serving area literally shouted at a group of older ladies that they needed to leave as "we are closing in exactly 5 minutes". I caught the waiters eye and mentioned he had just served me, the same disembodied voice "we close at 4pm sharp". 2 days later at 2.10pm I dropped in for a sandwich, took a seat, looked the menu, went to order to be told "kitchen is closed" I mentioned that it states food served till 2.30pm, "served yes but it needs to be made first so we stop taking order around 2.15pm". Maybe the food is good but I have yet to try it. Staff need some lessons in customer care, speaking to some locals it appears they are well know for the lack of customer service.

What a special treat we experienced on our visit to Flavour this week. From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and relaxed. Each & every course offered a wonderful taste of the produce available seasonally on our Island with the attention to detail that goes into the selection, preparation & the presentation of the dishes, quite amazing. We enjoyed hearing the story of our food from start to finish & the dedication put in by Chris, the Flavour team & also His family is evident. Absolutely Michelin star dedication. Thank you all for a very special evening A&A

First time and definitely won’t be the last the fish was absouletly lovely tasting and thick to bite into the batter was crispy and chips nice and dry , highly recommend as you won’t be disappointed 10 out of 10 😀

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

I have watched the postings from this restaurant and the reviews by diners for over a year. This was the first opportunity to sample it for ourselves and it did not disappoint. The warmth of the welcome and the personal involvement of the chef were really unusual. The meal started with a rich tomato soup amuse bouche . The starter course of marinated sticky monkfish on a dressed salad was superb - tasty and optimal size. We both had a whole lobster accompanied by a bed of various vegetables and served with fries. We loved it. The desert of a cherry/ apple/nut strudle was soft and delicious. We had a reasonably priced bottle of Romanian Pinot Noir which was smooth and flavourful . I finished my meal with a Springbank 12 Malt and my wife had a brandy. For what we had,we thought the final bill was remarkably reasonable. We will be back !

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!

Sadly the restaurant did not live up to our expectations. Restaurant itself was lacking in atmosphere. Food was overpriced and lacking in flavours. Very disappointing.

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.

Quick stop by for a lunch break, had the Langoustines , delicious and very very fresh, fair prices,quick service what’s more to want?

Delicious beef and veg curry pasties. Also sampled the brownie, chocolate butteries and frangipane tarts. All fresh and thoroughly delicious. Do stop off and sample these delights

We were amazed at the welcome we were given,the crab we bought so fresh and tasty and the crab brioche we ate at the pier was wonderful, we will be back for more. We loved it. Thank you

To actually be there when they say they are going to be, was looking forward to this but yet AGAIN they didn't bother to turn up!!

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!
