Introduction

Fish Shop sits on Netherley Place in Ballater, serving as both a seafood restaurant and fishmonger in the heart of Royal Deeside. The restaurant celebrates the heritage and traditions of Scottish fishing, with a menu centred on ethically caught day-boat fish, creel-caught or hand-dived crustacea, and drinks from biodynamic wine producers, local microbreweries and distilleries. Fresh fish and shellfish arrive early each morning, supplying both the restaurant and the fishmonger, while the shop offers click and collect, weekly delivery to Braemar, lunch rolls, sandwiches, ready-to-cook items and meal kits. The restaurant has been awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, recognising good-quality, good-value cooking. With its restaurant and fishmonger under one roof, Fish Shop gives Ballater a direct link to Scotland’s coastal larder, serving carefully sourced seafood in a village better known for hills, estates and Highland roads.
