We could enjoy variety of hot seafood platter. Lobster, langoustine, mussels, oyster and clams were amazing. We ordered salmon for main dish as well, it was amazing. However I am not sure this restaurant is very special or impressive. I feel it is just normal fancy seafood restaurant.

Splendid place, excellent food and service even though slow it was efficient and courtious. Top of the line menu that is worth the high price, my plate was a la carte and requested some changes that were perfectly delivered by the chef, just like you expect from a 5 star restaurant. It would get a 5 star from me if it was not for the fact that I thought service was slow and pricing was high for certain menu items. Do not take me wrong, this is a must go in Edinburgh but be prepared to pay the price for what you get and you will not be disappointed.

I had my best meal here during my visit at Scotland! I loved everything about this place - their atmosphere, food, wine selections, and whiskey :) The oysters were fresh and full of flavor and their mussels were cooked perfect! Will definitely come back when I visit Edinburgh again!

one of the best seafood restaurant in Edinburgh. an early reservation is important because always full . i love the scallops, oysters , langoustines & mussel ! highly recommend when in Edinburgh

Excellent. Food was delicious and fresh. Husband had mussels for main and I had Deluxe Fish and Chips which was half fish and half prawns. Great portions and loved the mushy peas. I had a Harris gin cocktail and hubby had a sidecar, now his new favourite. Lovely service with friendly and welcoming staff. Haven't been for a while but will definitely be back.

Amazing! What a lovely restaurant. We came on a Tuesday night and had a wonderful time. Scallop Starter served on a shell - 10/10 Halibut with Prawns and Squid - 9/10 Cod with cauliflower - 9/10

During our short stay in Edinburgh after Christmas before New Year, Fishers was recommended by Hotel Staff where we were staying and were very impressed with the quality of the food and service. The wine selection was equaliiy wonderful. Thank You for an amazing evening.

Good restaurant in Edinburgh. The ambiance is good. The food was just sumptuous. We had seafood and it was so good. You have to try it. The price is on the higher end.

Decent seafood restaurant with fine execution. The oysters were expectedly fresh, the scallops big plump and juicy. The chowder was tasty. The prices were a tad high but otherwise an enjoyable meal near to the castle.

Amazing seafood and wonderful service. Try the mussels and scallops, but really all the food was beautiful! Was looking for a nice but casual seafood restaurant and I think I nailed it. Ordered multiple starters of the king scallops, the prawns tempura and the pork belly bisque. Honestly would have ordered another round they were so good. For mains we ordered the surf and turf with scallops and the mussels. Probably a slight crime to order a steak at a seafood restaurant but I have no regrets as it was perfectly cooked and tender. Put this on your list if you’re looking for a really great seafood experience in the city

Had the hot seafood platter and chocolate fondant, both tasted amazing, especially the chocolate fondant. Most of the seafood were fresh (with a few mussels gone bad). The seafood were cooked perfectly. However I still think it’s a bit overpriced (£60). The chocolate fondant was decent, the nuts, ice cream just matches perfectly with the chocolate. The service was nice and made me feel at ease.

Absolutely WONDERFUL experience all around. Our server, Ada, was soooo kind, friendly and attentive. Thank you so much for the well wishes and hope to see you next year, Ada! Ordered the classic fish and chips, as well as the half dozen oysters. Both were extremely fresh and delicious! The creme brulee and pear parfait desserts were remarkable! Pouilly-fume was a perfect pairing for all. Definitely make reservations in advance, which seems to be a common theme in Edinburgh (lesson learned). So glad we made that reservation and waited. Truly memorable experience that we'll seek to repeat when back in Scotland. Highly recommended!

Not fancy food but just well cooked traditional fish and chips and fish soup. Batter was light and airy with tender juicy fish. The soup was rich but not too heavy. A great pop in to get the mandatory fish and chips!

The beef short ribs bao is excellent. The meat is flavourful and succulent. Place is full on a sat. Do make reservations before going. Thankfully for us; there was a cancellation and they could sit us.

Loved fishers by the shore so decided to give the second location a try too since it’s closer to our hotel. Still pretty good, but I definitely preferred the shore location. The shore location has more variety other items (foraged mushrooms, pasta, crab toast, soft shell crab sandwich). Keeping in mind, I went to the shore location for lunch so maybe it was different but nevertheless, personally I would go back to the shore. Either way though, still a fantastic meal. It’s a much bigger restaurant, and more of vibe. We ordered the small smoked fish soup, small mussels, small grilled oysters, smoke salmon plate, and the hand dived orkney scallops (too buttery in my opinion) for two. And finished off with a cheese plate. Delicious and memorable meal. A lot of variety of fresh seafood, prepared in multiple ways.

This is one of my favorite restaurants to visit when I am in Edinburg. I have been there few times as foods so tasty and staffs are friendly and attentive. My fav dish to order is mussels in creamy sauce that remind me of Brussels. Highly recommend to book in advance as it’s always busy.

Wow! Best mussels in the city hands down. Mussels are cooked in a cream white wine sauce with garlic and it was absolutely addictive. Moreover, the cleanliness of the mussels was also spot on as there weren't any sandy surprises waiting for us in our mouths. The scallops, langoustine, and haggis bons bons were good too and worth a try as well! Lastly, we also had the pork belly which wasn't as crispy as we would've liked and came in a more gelatinous texture but the taste was still wonderfully umami without having any funkiness to it. Overall, great seafood and service in the heart of downtown Edinburgh!

I don’t really take a lots of pictures while I’m having food but only when it’s tasty :D Definitely one of the top 3 oysters place I had in Erdingbour and the mussels were great! Good wine list🥰 The only small issue is the waitress seems need to look after a quite big area so we have been neglected for a while, I am sure she didn’t meant to be like this but great food! By the way, the Mandarin translation in the bathroom is in correct in case you want to amend it 😂

This is a spectacular restaurant. The food was delicious. Really really delicious. Service was attentive without being fussy or too much. The mains went too quickly to get pictures I’m afraid. Oysters were just divine. But here are the deserts.

An upmarket seafood restaurant with good attentive service. I ordered a few things and enjoyed the fresh oysters and the creamy seafood chowder. Although the bowl of chowder was a bit smaller than I expected it to be. I ordered the deluxe fish and chips, which came with an extra skewer of king prawns. The fish inside was good, juicy and flaked nicely. But the batter was disappointing, bland and not overly crispy. This was the same for the prawn skewers. Maybe other items on the menu might be better, so maybe skip the fish and chips.

Seafood platter really hit the spot! Langostines were slightly mushy, but the fresh mussels and razor clams made up for it. Pork belly & squid starter was really interesting - I’d recommend, and the fish & chips was great! The desserts were as fab as they looked!

Excellent service, everyone who served us from the moment we entered the door to the moment we left was excellent 👌 We had a range of dishes and everything was superb from the octopus with beetroot puree and vinegar jelly, to the duck with pear puree, to the sole wih olives, capers and tomatoes to the hot sea food platter. 5/5 all over.

This is a happy meal, everything is fantastic. The friendly service, the food and atmosphere are excellent. The seafood is so good and it couldn't be better. The mussles, scallops and Oyster were so fresh. The pork belly is out of this world and the fish & chip is so delicious. Best of all, the price us reasonable. We really enjoyed this meal.

Almost all the dishes here are seafood based with one starter and one mains dish that is Pork based. Ribeye and Fillet steak are also available. Fishers Fish Soup (£6.50 small) - Salmon and Smoked Haddock Cream Chowder. A timeless classic, the seafood chowder. A hearty, soul-warming dish that combines the large chunks of salmon and haddock with a velvety, creamy base. There’s a comforting creaminess about this soup making it ideal for this cold weather. King Scallops, Jerusalem artichoke puree, black pudding, apple puree and hazelnut butter (£11.50) If you're seeking a dish that effortlessly combines exquisite flavours and textures, look no further than this creation. The heroes of this dish are undoubtedly the succulent Scallops, boasting a delicate sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the earthy notes within the ensemble. Cooked to perfection, their opalescent flesh is lightly seared to retain tenderness. The black pudding's earthiness adds an unexpected but delightful dimension to the overall composition whilst the apple puree offers a lively and invigorating contrast to the rich and robust elements on the plate. 6 Pacific Rock Oysters (£19.00) - we tried Tempura with Sriracha Mayo: A delightful combination of crispy and creamy. These oysters are delicately coated in a light and airy tempura batter, giving them a satisfying crunch with each bite. The heat from the Sriracha Mayo adds a spicy kick that balances perfectly with the natural brininess of the oysters. Natural with Lime, Chilli, and Cucumber Granita: For those who prefer a more refreshing and citrusy experience, the Natural Pacific Rock Oysters are simply divine. Served in their purest form, these oysters showcase their natural essence and pristine taste. What truly elevates these oysters to another level is the cucumber granita. This icy, refreshing accompaniment adds a cool and invigorating element to the oysters. Grilled with Smoked Salmon, Caper, and Dill Butter: Here the oysters are gently grilled, resulting in a smoky and slightly charred exterior that enhances their natural sweetness. One thing to note is that the oysters are not cut free from their foot. You will have to do this yourself. Halibut Fillet with Moqueca, King Prawns, Squid, and Palm Hearts (£31.00) Indulge in a culinary adventure with this exquisite fusion of flavours found in this dish. At the heart of this dish lies the Halibut Fillet, a treasure from the ocean depths. Renowned for its delicate and flaky flesh, the Halibut Fillet takes centre stage, asserting its presence with its rich, buttery flavour. Cooked to perfection, the fillet is tender and moist, effortlessly melting in your mouth. Accompanying the Halibut is moqueca, a vibrant Brazilian stew that infuses the dish with a burst of exotic flavours. The moqueca serves as a fragrant and tangy base, enhancing the natural sweetness of the fish while providing a harmonious blend of spices. With hints of garlic, peppers, and onions, this traditional Brazilian sauce beautifully complements the seafood ensemble. Orkney Scallops with sweet cicely, cray fish, hazelnut butter and miso carrots (£30.00) This dish captures the essence of coastal flavours - big, fat, juicy Orkney Scallops, plucked from the pristine waters surrounding the remote group of islands at the top of Scotland. These oceanic jewels, with their tender flesh and delicate sweetness, remain locked into their shell and require some cutlery skills to loosen them without tearing them apart. They are served with the roe on swimming in a golden puddle of hazelnut buttery goodness. I was unsure of the miso carrots. These sliced, tender orange batons are glazed with the umami richness of Japanese miso. There is great depth of flavour here but just didn’t suit my palate. Fishers in the City is a lovely seafood restaurant and the menu is a symphony of marine delights, from succulent langoustines to plump scallops sourced from Scotland's bountiful waters. Next time I’m having the Hot Shellfish Platter (£110.00 for two) as it looked incredible!

The restaurant location is not by the main road of Edinburgh Old Town centre.. better to book a taxi if you want to come here as there are not much space for car parking outside.. book a table in advance is required as they are always full and busy.. This is heaven for a seafood lover. Was here to celebrate my Husband birthday. We loved the oyster and the cheeseboard. For the main, my husband experienced as what he expected which was really good. Slightly different with me because i ordered Tanzanian Curry for the first time. I found it too mild for me (i am Asian and get used to strong flavour).. it was good, smooth, i just need to learn more about Tanzanian Curry is 'mild' as how it should and always be.. ? Overall we both are happy, service was quick, can see the live open kitchen as well.. will be happy to comeback again when visiting Edinburgh
