Great, freshly caught lobster and crab…read more We stayed in lovely Johnshaven for two nights. Just around the corner from our place was Murry McBay. We were looking for some fresh seafood and asked them were to buy some. We were very happy to learn that we can purchase lobsters and crabs directly from them, freshly caught (and still alive). We even got a box for them. So we bought two nice-sized crabs and a lobster. And....it did cost....9£!!! I mean wow....you can forget any seafood counter at any grocery store. Unbeatable prices and freshness! We cooked them for dinner. Great great flavour...did I mention already how fresh they were? Yeah, I guess I did. One of the crabs was female and had loads of eggs....a feast for seafood-lovers! So, if you stay in Johnshaven...or anywhere close: Look no further! This is THE place! Not sure about opening times, we just walked by, asked and got lucky.

The food was fresh but not the most flavorful. The fish cakes were too potato-y but the crab and…read morelobster were cooked very well on the roll. The brioche was lovely.

I went with friends to this place that opens at noon. We lined up at 11:45 and soon enough by the…read moretime they opened there was a huge line. All I can say is delicious! I got the lobster and chips. The lobster is so so so tasty. The chips had the lobster garlic and butter juice all over them. I don't actually like chips (French fries) however these were so good I ate the entire tray to the point of making myself sick with overeating! They do run out of lobster and there is always a line so be warned, but I would wait in line anyway for this glorious food.

Suzy has checked into....... yep - Welch's .....AGAIN! Either I've become predictable or this…read moreplace is too good not to go to nearly once a week. When I buy seafood - it makes a big impression that I can actually see the sea and boats from the store. Now add in years of experience, a super clean and shiny shop, great variety, friendly staff and of course fresh FISH. Whole fish, fillets, 'steaks', shellfish - langoustines with the whiskers still twitching, a giant tank of lobster, piles of mussels and loads of extras. They have smokies, smoked haddock, cold smoked salmon and my favourite - their own Hot Smoked Salmon. You can even get slices of these vac packed (well - they can vac pack anything for you) to keep in the fridge for a few days. Soft, flaky, smoky, delicate - great cold or gently warmed up. All this is set at the quaint Newhaven harbour - completely with picturesque lighthouse, dock with seats to sit and watch the boats from and a couple of restaurants. Makes it all worth the trip!

I thought Welch's in the West End was the seafood business, but big brother in Newhaven is THE King…read moreof fishmongers. If it swims in the sea or lives in a shell, it'll be found here. Live crayfish in huge tanks adorn a wall, filleted & whole fish, shellfish, prawns, you name it, they'll most likely have it. The most endearing point to make is the fact that rather than reside behind a counter, the fishmongers mix amongst the patrons and take an active interest in showing their produce in best light. Tesco, Morrisons, ASDA and the like, take note...this is seafood and that is service at it's best! Bravo!

Eddie's is the sh*t when it comes to fresh seafood. Admittedly it stinks when you walk past it, but…read morefish is a smelly food so you can't really hold that against them. I have never seen a fishmongers so busy; on saturday mornings you can see people actually queuing outside just to pick up some prawns or whatever. I mean how many places can you say that about. And the fish is incredible. Having bought the aforementioned prawns (didn't queue though - not because they're not worth it, just because I'm really lazy) I can safely say they're the best in Edinburgh. They are absolutely huge, really fresh and tasted amazing. The rest of the food is awesome as well, even if you're just picking up a piece of haddock or something then it is the best place around. Admittedly slightly more expensive than the supermarkets, but when you're getting fish of this quality that is fresh every day then you can't really complain.

This really is the best fishmongers I've ever found in Edinburgh. If you're having a dinner party…read moreor cooking for a special occasion, you need to get your ingredients from here. Although it's right in the middle of student-ville, Eddie's is well-known all over the city and once you've bought from here it's easy to see why. The staff are not only friendly but also really knowledgeable. When I went in I needed things to make a fish pie, although I didn't know which fish would be best for it. Rather than simply trying to flog me the most expensive fish they had, the guy was very patient with me and showed me loads of different options. When I used to live in Marchmont I used to see the new deiliveries coming in every day (on the rare occasions I was up early enough, that is!), so you can always be confident that the stuff they have is fresh.

A* service. Love the Scottish Fishmonger…read more With this cool new service delivering anywhere in the UK, Glasgow is fast becoming my favorite city to go to. Forget Edinburgh. Glasgow has Cookie, Rogano's and this amazing fishmonger. Where else could you want to go for seafood, besides actually go and catch it yourself? If you need fish then check out these guys!

It appears that McLeishes has closed down- whether this is temporary or not im not sure…read more If it reopens, however, McLeishes is a great deli with a fresh fish counter on the one side (try the Arborath smokies and smokie pate); and meats, cooked products, sandwiches and hot foods on the other. Its always been very buzzing when I've shopped there so i would be surprised if its closing down permanently- would be a shame to lose something liek this from the high street

We love it either raw or for BBQ - it does look and smell very fresh Not everything there is local, but you can buy local eggs (not free range though) But, it can be quite pricey there - unless you go for their offers.
