The Ship on The Shore

Fish and seafood restaurant · Leith

@cntraveler

"Set right on the waterfront in Leith, The Ship, with its black painted wooden tables outside, looks like a handsome pub. Step inside, though, and it's clear that this is more like a serious wine bar and restaurant. With a dedicated crustacea and molluscs menu, The Ship makes its focus clear: seafood. At breakfast, go for the Bunnahabhain smoked salmon or the Arbroath smokie (smoked haddock) with buttery toast. For lunch, go all-out and order the seafood paella Royale, with whole Scottish lobster, king scallops and chorizo. For supper, keep it simple with oysters and fish 'n' chips and a glass of house bubbly. A notch up from all-out casual, but pretty laid-back nonetheless, The Ship is a good choice if you're looking to kick back and enjoy a boozy lunch with friends." - Caroline Eden
