The Fishmarket ★ 4.6
The Fishmarket on Pier Place in Newhaven Edinburgh, a collaboration between Welch Fishmongers and the Ondine team, serving oysters, langoustines and grilled fish.
Order: A dressed crab with brown toast and a glass of house white on the outdoor deck.
Why locals love it: Newhaven Pier is a 20-minute bus from the Royal Mile and feels like a different Edinburgh: working harbour, outdoor tables, Ondine-team seafood at takeaway prices. Most.
Tip: Book the evening deck table in summer. Buses 16 and 32 from Princes Street reach Newhaven in 20 minutes.
