Summary
“Properly fresh fish with no fuss but lots of care” (plus delectable puds) continues to explain the success of this two-decades-old haunt in a historic Leith harbour watchtower. Their sibling venue The Shore, next door, serves British grub, and there’s also a city-centre spin-off, the literally titled ‘Fishers In the City’.

Summary
“Faultless fish” – and “first-class puddings, too” – have made this 17th-century Leith harbour watchtower a “charming” Edinburgh destination for two decades. Success at this original has brought the Shore bar/restaurant next door and a branch ‘In The City’.
Summary
The original Fishers occupies a 17th century Leith watchtower, and has been a go-to for enjoyable fish and seafood for over two decades; consistently high ratings this year.
For 30 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"What a shame - my fault for having the steak which was dreadful. Next time I'll stick to the seafood which looked amazing. Great starters and puds."
