Fishmongers

Fishmongers

Our fishmongers offer seafood from the same boats and providers as the restaurant, with a seasonal selection of fish and shellfish arriving early each morning. A range of seaweeds, preserved seafood, Scottish Blackthorn Seasalt, other store cupboard essentials and daily deliveries of seasonal vegetables can also be found alongside a selection of wine and freshly prepared fish dishes for local delivery, or collection in-store. We even deliver to Braemar on Saturdays.

Sustainability

Working with carefully selected fishermen, partners, growers and makers, we supply sustainably-sourced fish from day and short-trip boats, as well as creel-caught and hand-dived crustacea. All meat is free-range and locally sourced.

The restaurant and fishmonger are committed to being low-waste from fit-out to packaging; even smoking techniques use zero-emission charcoal.

Fish Shop is a proud supporter of the Ocean Recovery Project.
