Fish Shop
A seafood restaurant and fishmonger in Ballater, listed in the Michelin Guide, serving only sustainably caught Scottish seafood.
Opened in 2023 as a sister restaurant to the Fife Arms hotel in Braemar, run by Marcus and Jasmine Sherry and formerly known as the Rothesay Rooms. Fish comes from boats at Peterhead and Scrabster, and shellfish is hand-dived or potted. The signature is the Macduff crab muffin. The Good Food Guide recommends Shetland mussels with nduja, and the Michelin Guide mentions Shetland turbot. A wicker shoal of fish hangs in the dining room, and an on-site fish counter sells fresh fish. Reviews say prices are high and portions small. Expect about £40–60 per person. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays, and booking is recommended.
Opening hours
Wed–Sun 12:00–14:15, 17:30–23:00; closed Mon and Tue
