Fishers is just perfect. My husband and I spent a weekend in Edinburgh at the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society flats, which is just a few blocks from the restaurant. After hearing what seemed like countless great reviews, decided it was necessary to check it out before leaving and grabbed a late lunch on our last day in town.
After being seated, I asked our waiter if the fish soup had salmon and when he confirmed it did, we bonded over the fact that we both find it annoying that we don't like the taste of such a popular fish that is seemingly in everything. Since the soup wasn't an option, I started with queenie scallops. They were served broiled on the shell with a tasty butter sauce. I parted with one in return for one of the six fresh oysters that my husband was enjoying.
For my main I went big and ordered the lobster, which was incredible. I could have honestly eaten a second one just because it was that delicious. My husband feasted on a fillet of smoked haddock with Isle of Mull rarebit. I'm usually not a huge fan of smoked anything, especially fish, but after trying it I reached over with my fork a few more times to sneak some nibbles.
The portions weren't small, but somehow we managed to order dessert. I had the cheese plate which included some very strong slices, which I loved. My husband opted for the ice cream and wasn't disappointed.
Fishers can be a bit of a splurge, especially if you order the lobster, but it's worth every penny. I don't think I'll ever forget my meal.

If you ever find yourself in Edinburgh, make the trip to Leith; it's only a short cab ride. This restaurant is worth the short trip and it's also located near the docks in area that has been revived so it's a different glimpse into Scottish "suburb" life. The food is exceptional! Thankfully, Scotland next to cold waters so you are able to experience seafood and local fish that are so fresh they are bursting with unbelievable flavor. You will not be disappointed. The staff is attentive and strive to make certain that you are satisfied. We brought our toddler child here, the staff was so sweet, we almost asked if they babysat. We loved this place so much that we went twice in 3 weeks. Oh what a find. Had it not been for the kind, old gentlemen strolling along the boardwalk in Portobello, we would have never found this gem!!!

This is a great place for fresh seafood. The oysters were amazing and from a local lake that is both fresh and salt water. We also shared a pot of mussels that felt bottomless and the famous crab cakes. The food was excellent despite the sunburn I got from eating outside.
