Harden's survey result
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.
Summary
“Still an Edinburgh favourite” – “a harbourside building in Leith” that’s “focused on expertly cooked Scottish fish and seafood”.
