    Got nothing but great things to say about this Fishmonger's. This isn't a large or incredibly…read morestocked fishmonger by any stretch of the imagination, but it does what it needs to do. I've been in here a few times for bits and pieces, and the staff are such lovely and pleasant women. They'll give you advice where needed, eg recipes/seasoning, and they'll tell you the best place to get something they don't provide. I went in and got a bag of 30 small prawns for less than a pound and almost fainted. Less than a pound! Excellent quality as well, so it's not like you're paying less for lesser quality. If you want something big/obscure such as a whole crab, or swordfish loin, they won't have it in store but they can order it in for you, which is great!

I used to despise fish. I would refuse to go into the fishmongers with my mum because the smell made me squeamish, and the sight of prawns on my dinner plate saw me recoiling in horror! As I got older though, my fishy distaste started to lessen, and I began to try new things. It took me until I was 21 to try a prawn, which is actually embarrassing! Ever since I tried it though, I have been hooked. I have always preferred white meats and fish to red meat, so my love for prawns really widened my horizons, and made me try more fish. I can now officially say that I love it! I went to Pisces one afternoon on the way home from work to pick up some king prawns. My friends and I were recreating Come Dine With Me, and I was determined to win with my juicy prawn tempura starter, and I had been told that Pisces was the place to come. The fishmonger was extremely nice, de-veining my prawns for me (I'm still a bit squeamish) and even recommending how I cook them. I left with a bag of around ten large prawns, for a very competitive price of under £9. I think he might have even given me a wee discount! Fantastic shop, don't be afraid to ask for cooking tips either, my prawn tempura turned out brilliantly!

I had the best seafood here in Oban Scotland! A massive ouster is Only 1.2 pound each ! With this market, are you kidding me ??? I had similar oysters in a restaurant downtown Glasgow 12 for 50 pounds ! This is the absolutely the best hands down fresh off the boat seafood you can have in my humble opinion!

Whilst waiting for the ferry to Barra me and my friend decided to get a deluxe seafood platter.. We decided to go for take away as we were soon going to board the ferry, so sat in the car to eat it.. The box contained a whole lobster, 2 crab claws, 2 scallops, 2 langustines, loads of mussels, small prawns, medium prawns, razor clams, clams and calamari.. It also came with two dips and some salad.. All this for just £27.. Total bargain and fresh.. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful.. There is also the option to sit in on a wee bench and table.. But be prepared to be rained on.. On my route back I stopped in again and got 3 crab claws (my favourite) the cost was £2.30 they go by weight.. I sat on the harbour wall to eat them which was just prefect and I managed to finish them before the rain started.. This place is a must if you are in Oban..

    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.

The decor of the place and his friendly demeanor make it so much more special than your average fishmongers, and he is always happy to talk to you about your choices and cut you a deal for bulk buys. It's a fantastic idea to go in and get a whole bunch at once for really reduced prices. I went in towards the end of the day looking for a quick dinner option, and what I got were two ENORMOUS (like srsly double those pititful things they sell you at waitrose) for around £4! And I could have easily fed 3 with that amount of fish. Now, this might have been yesterday's catch and hence so cheap, but it was absolutely delicious- perfectly tender, not fatty, and fresh tasting. Some of the other types of fish are more expensive but I think they are still reasonably priced and better than you'd do than the supermarket. I feel verrry lucky to have the Wee Fish Market right on my doorstep and Anderson's greengrocer just next door- it makes supporting local businesses the easiest thing ever and makes dinner a cinch!

Despite this, over 60% were dead and they did not smell good. I know how mussels should be handled and tested -- I grew up in France and trained at a French cookery school -- so I am very familiar with proper preparation. These were clearly not fit for consumption. I contacted the company straight away with photos, but the process was disorganized. First, I was told my email wasn't received, then I had to call, then resend everything. Finally, I was met with a patronizing response questioning whether I actually understood how mussels work, which was completely inappropriate from a customer service perspective. This isn't about the £4 -- it's about safety. Sending out mussels in this condition risks people becoming ill. The way this was handled was poor, and I won't be ordering again.

I got some smoked haddock from here last week to try it. I hate the dyed stuff, I just think it's so unnecessary.

The fishmongers are expert, filleting and preparing the goods with precision and a well-trained. I would get off the Subway just to go here!

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!

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!

However, I have been in here on quite a few occasions with mother dearest when she's determined to make 'a special fish pie'. Be assured that it's never anything special, smells faintly unappetising and looks very unappetising. Yet, this is purely down to her cooking not the fresh produce she buys from here. No, the produce stocked here is fresh, fragrance free (the best indicator with fish) and neatly presented in an array of white plastic trays with clear price tags next to them. As well as stocking the usual fishy suspects (lemon sole, monk fish or cod anyone?), they also have a good selection of shell fish, homemade fish cakes and other goodies on offer. The staff are very knowledgeable about which fish to use for what and alert you to any special offers they have on or 'limited edition' products in. The staff also provide a high standard of service which is quick and friendly. It's perhaps the speed at which they service that means they is barely ever a queue in here despite the constant stream of customers. Personally, I would say it may be slightly overpriced. However, I also hold up my hands and admit that I don't really know much about fish buying; apart from the nice tidy packets you can pick up in Tesco of what doesn't actually look like fish. Hence, if you're a fish lover or a budding cook then you should check this place out and you'll probably not mind spending that little bit extra.

    Bernard Corrigan has apparently been in business in Glasgow since 1949. That's a pretty good sign…read more Another good sign is how often I see their vans parked outside certain of Glasgow's exciting fish restaurants. Now, I don't cook fish as often as I'd like, but if I have the time to plan ahead and there's a specific dish I want to make, this is my first choice fish. Not only fish, though. This a fishmonger, poulterer and game specialist. Sure, drop in when you're in search of sea bream and the best you can find at Tesco is "white fish fillets" but have a look and see what else they have. Their poussins are very good, and, when in season, it's well worth picking up a couple of pheasants to roast - they're as easy as chicken, even if you're not a confident cook - just watch out for the shot. See it as an opportunity to go try something you haven't had before. I suspect people find going into a fishmonger's to be slightly intimidating because they don't know what they're doing. You don't really need to - the staff are very well informed and they're happy to walk you through the things they have for sale. They'll even suggest how best to cook it if you ask for some points. Also, don't be worried by the fact that prices are shown as per kilo, rather than per portion. That can make things sound more expensive than they are. You can always ask for either £5 worth of, or 400 g of almost whatever you want to avoid over spending. So go in and have a look, if only to buy some lemons and some duck eggs, if only to be nosy. Chat to the staff, see what they recommend and if you're feeling brave, try something you've never even heard of just because it's in season. You'll get great service and the very freshest fish.

They have a wonderful selection of all sorts of seafood, including a couple of fish that I'd never heard of.

Each week's selection varies, depending on what the fishermen bring in, and they're only open on Fridays and Saturdays. The staff are really chatty and provide great advice if you're not sure what to do with your fish. It's run by a group of fishermen; everything comes straight off the boat and is very reasonably priced compared with other fishmongers (not that there's many on this side of the river).

They also have a range of smoked products from Kintyre including salmon, haddock, clams and kippers. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I promised to return soon to buy something. This shop is well worth a visit if you're looking for locally sourced fish and seafood.
