The Original

A landmark on Leith's historic Shore, Fishers has been one of the city's favourite spots for seafood for over three decades.

Set in a seventeenth-century stone watchtower, it has two dining areas to choose from: the cosy round room near the bar, or the main restaurant — not forgetting a table outside by the water when the sun's out.

Come see us for proper fish, fresh salads, and fine steaks in a setting that never gets old.

Seafood cooking with flair and commitment from a small kitchen in boatlike surroundings — here, traditional Scots dishes get an imaginative twist.

Fantastic fishing restaurant

Great experience. I got the delicious smoked salmon with rucola and capers served with delicious fresh bread. Really delicate.

Excellent fish restaurant

We had a superb and high quality meal at The Fishers in Leith. For starters we had the Gambas and Smoked salmon, followed by a whole Sea Bass and also Hake. It was all terrifically cooked and served.
