About Fishers

Fishers stands as Leith's anchor seafood restaurant, housed in a historic building that radiates cosy charm and romantic appeal. The kitchen demonstrates consistent mastery over fresh catch—whole plaice and seabass arrive perfectly cooked, oysters pristine and briny, garlic prawns and softshell crab burgers earning passionate repeat visits. Mains span local halibut, lobster, king prawn curries, and fish soups, each grounded in quality sourcing and precise technique. Sticky toffee pudding and crème brûlée close meals with equal care. The wine list earns repeated praise, complemented by a strong beer selection and thoughtful cocktails. Service strikes the rare balance of attentive without hovering—staff are described as friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaged. The venue welcomes families with high chairs and changing facilities, accommodates dogs on the terrace, and offers wheelchair access. Lunch menus deliver strong value; dinner reservations are essential.
