A Day in Leith

'Oh how do like to be beside the seaside...' 

Some of my earliest memories of Edinburgh were of visiting my sister when she lived in Leith. Leith is located in the north-east of the city. You might know it from the book and film, Trainspotting. I know it for its fabulous seafood restaurants, cute little boutiques and of course, The Shore.

I recently went to the Fishers restaurant there for my sister's birthday. We tried her massive hot shellfish platter that cost £80. Quite a lot on first glance but the dish itself was enough for about 4 people. And man was it DELISH.

Fishers is a a wonderful chain of two restaurants and a bar. Their menu is comprised of only the freshest ingredients and fantastic flavours for a reasonable price.

The unsung hero of the day for me were their roasted parsnips. Seafood may be their prime dish but all their trimmings are done to perfection too!
