    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!

    It's strange how when you get older, your tastes change dramatically, and things that would have…read moremade you baulk a few years ago have made their way onto your Yummy list. 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!

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!

    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 fish on offer here offers both good quality and reasonable pricing, which is as much as you can really ask for. My main complaint is the fact that they only display prices in pounds. I know that fishmongers work in pounds, but I work in kilos and I can't help but think that it wouldn't be much effort on their part just to knock out the conversion on a calculator whereas I have to try and do it in my head without really knowing how many pounds are equivalent to a kilo. Despite this, you do seem to get a good amount of fish for you money even though I'm not precisely sure how much you get, but it is certainly on a par with elsewhere. The staff here are friendly and will be happy to have a quick chat with you as they weigh out your order and get you your chance which adds a bit of pleasantry to your visit although I must admit I still struggle with some of the accents so my parts in these chats often end up being nodding and smiling a lot. Another little criticism, however, is that the range is fairly small sticking to the old favourites which most will be happy with, but I do like choice in my fish so I do find this a bit disappointing. As it is, the place is a nice fishmongers to visit.

I was immediately drawn to "Something Fishy" as the lovely wee shoppe reminded me of the old fishmongers we used to have around in my birthplace near La Rochelle before the bloody supermarkets put them all out of business. So my friend and I popped in on a Tuesday an inquired about these fine ladies of the sea.. alas there wasn't any. As the benevolent and knowledgeable owner explained us, since it's a pricey delicacy people tend to treat themselves with it only for fine supper over the week-end. That said, the good man went on a limb and offered to order us a kilo of them to pick-up on Thursday morning, without any guarantee that the Frog and Yankee tourists will be back for it. Needless to say, I was there on Thursday morning at first light! And what lovely beasts they were.. big, extra fresh and full of caviar.. But pictures are best. Quel délice!

I took 2 medium live crabs for only £4 each and 2kg of the freshest largest most shiniest mussels I've ever had, fresh from the Shetlands. All completely delicious.

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 fish seemed really fresh, and when we had it for dinner, it wasn't too smoky, it had just a hint of smokiness, which was lovely. 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!
