Aberdeen, Fish & Seafood Restaurant Guide

“A stunning setting on top of the old customs house” on Pocra Quay makes this restaurant the “perfect place to sample the local fish and shellfish” while “watching boats come into the harbour as the sun sets” – “all the food is very fresh and there are some excellent vegetarian options; they also have a creative list of cocktails and a lovely wine selection”. ‘Silver darling’ is an old nickname for the herring that used to be such an important catch for the fishermen of ‘Fittie’ (officially Footdee), the historic fishing village you can see from this perch.
