I'm a fan of Alan Beveridge in Giffnock and now there's one in Shawlands too, which I think has been open for about a year.
It's a small shop, but sells exactly what you'd expect a fishmonger to sell - fish. And chicken. The Giffnock branch does that too which is a little bit strange to me but they do say tuna is the chicken of the sea so maybe that's why.
Anyway, I already had a meal planned for dinner that night but thought some fish might go nicely with it. I was making a pasta with a pea puree sauce and bacon, so the lady in the shop suggested a naturally smoked piece of haddock. It was about £3 and she wrapped it up nicely in paper which I thought was very old school. She also gave me a tip on how to cook it which I appreciated as I wasn't totally sure (I've only used smoked haddock in fish pie before).
The fish was lovely and managed to go with two dinner serves of pasta with leftovers for breakfast the next morning in scrambled eggs. Pretty great value for £3. I'd definitely come back here again as they had a pretty good/fresh looking range of seafood. read more
