The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Scotland

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.

I second all 5 star reviews here and will make it short: investing in this stay was absolutely worth the money. The rooms are exceptional, the staff is authentic and very friendly and the food (breakfast & dinner) is delicious and made with fresh, local ingredients.

We went (from Glasgow) based on the review in The Times in January 2025 and were not disappointed. The food is amazing and reasonably priced. Atmosphere is great, the restaurant is small and we loved the decor. The team were great, sharing menus ahead of our trip and accommodating for three children in our party. Can't wait to go back.

Just like how a fish supper should be; no nonsense. Was so good didn’t even need sauce. Visited for dinner after hearing great things about the place and it didn’t disappoint. Super fish suppers, coleslaw, onion rings and finished off with a single nougat wafer. Our server Lyla was a delight; fully competent, smiley and polite. The place takes you back in time, even with a fryer from nineteen canteen - very special. We will most definitely be back!

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.

We very much enjoyed an amazing platter for two. A whole prepared lobster, champagne lobster pate, dressed crab, prawn cocktail, smoked salmon, hot smoked salmon, a box of super Greek salad,oatcakes, crusty bread. It was beautifully presented and delivered on a covered platter. Enough amazing food to last us a couple of days. Highly recommend all their products,produced by a small family business.

Very nice little place with excellent food, and drinks ! Our last restaurant after a 3 weeks road trip Scotland and a hit ! We loved the food, the staff and the nice owner.

Absolutely delicious fish supper. Our favourite chippy of all time. Coupled with excellent service. Were able to sit in even though there was no table service that evening. We are so grateful. Hopefully be back soon. Thank you.

Excellent food - extremely fresh seafood

Customer service a joke. Rude arrogant staff member. If you had of spoken to my wife like that outside i would drop you! We ended up walking out and going If you had of spoken to my wife in that manner outside you would of found yourself on the decking. You are a very rude man manager or waiter you need customer service skills looking at as you have none. If you think that serving good food is all you need to do to be successful your wrong. You need your customer service skills looking at you very rude man. Even tho your local to us we will give your pub a wide birth from now on. Did you honestly think we would spend our money with you after that? The food was poor quality, overpriced.Slow service.Room cold and bathroom not clean..lots of dust everywhere...If you want to spent your money well dont waste your time to go there.They are advertising that is a special place but the truth is theg have long way go and lpys of to learn.

Wonderful food, and so accommodating of my dietary requirements. Special shout out to Wendy who was just the most lovely and attentive server: whatever you are paying her isn't enough! A knife fell on the floor and she had it replaced almost before it hit the ground. What an asset to your team. :)

First, Crail is a quaint town with great views. Lots to offer here but Reilly Shell Shack was a must on our list. My grandson had not had crab or lobster before. So he and I had one of each to try and compare. For me a seafood lover, it was the BEST. My favorite in the UK. For my grandson, nothing will compare to this, the taste, the experience, and the town.

Enjoyed both lobster and crab rolls from here . Amazing tastes ! Loved how we booked and collected later that day as we did some exploring . But you can just pop along and see what is on offer and get straight away . ... fab and highly recommend

Such a great little café! I had a latte and the pea, cucumber, and dill soup, light, fresh, and flavorful. My partner’s brisket toastie was also fantastic. Bonus: the café has a cute little shop inside. A highlight lunch spot on the island!

First timers, lovely. Chips sooo yum and everything cooked to order. Can’t wait to come back and try the fish - won’t be long 🥰
