Review of Fishers in the City: Write your review

A city centre branch of the long established Fishers down in Leith, Fishers in the City makes full use of the teeming waters of Scotland’s West Coast. Along with the daily blackboard specials & Fishers’ favourites such as the seafood platter, this buzzing restaurant pushes the boat out with recipes like Thai marinated crab with vermicelli noodle salad, & roast fillet of monkfish with tempura baby fennel & baby asparagus with a raisin & caper berry vinaigrette. Raspberry & strawberry filled Pavlova makes a great finish.

Justin R. (30s, Male, United Kingdom)

Having trusted both the Square Meal description and one Guardian journalists article description I headed to Fishers in Leith with images of seafood platters and grilled swimmers fresh from the water not 50 feet from the restaurants front door.
The menu greeted me with seared tuna & snapper to name but two foreign folk. I didn't see hide nor hair of anything remotely local apart from the lobster. Great to have local lobsters but hardly making much use of the surfeit on offer from the neighbouring docks.
I did plumb for the seafood platter and unfortunately I was disappointed. It consisted of frozen green lips from New Zealand, frozen prawns you'd expect from Tesco Metro, smoked mackerel (not the real thing though, painted) and marinated anchovies again from the deli counter.
I'd suggest you try next door or better still book ahead and go for Kitchin just round the corner, I couldn't get a walk in table but the menu looked fantastic!
