Nestled by the picturesque Portree harbor, this charming seafood restaurant is a hidden gem that captivates diners with its delicious offerings and friendly service. While the venue can be busy, often requiring a wait, the culinary experience is reportedly worth it. Though the fish and chips drew mixed reviews—with some describing them as dry and underwhelming—other dishes like fish pie and pan-seared scallops earned high praise for their flavor and quality. The cozy atmosphere and attentive staff enhance the experience, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors alike, despite cash-only payment and modest seating.

The food and service at this restaurant are outstanding. We enjoyed our meals so much that we dined there twice. I highly recommend this place, and they also offer a great selection of wines.

Excellent food! Semi limited menu but they do the food well. We arrived at 5:45 for dinner service (they open at 5:30) and they were packed! You do have to wait in line outside and they do not take reservations or hold tables for you. You have to wait and if you have a larger party, they may sit a party of 2 prior to your table. We were told it would be a 45 minute wait which was fairly accurate. I’d recommend this place on the food alone. They did run out of the scallops on the night we went but I believe this was due to the catch that day. Plenty of locals also in the restaurant. They are a cash only restaurant so consider this. There is allegedly an ATM nearby.

We got a table as soon as it opened at 5.30pm. They took our order straight away and served drinks . My wife and I both had fish and chips which arrived very quickly, almost too quickly. The chips were dry and judging by their texture reheated from early. The fish was very thin and could easily have been bought from the local co op and heated up. The peas again looked reheated. Overall very bog standard food at high end prices. They only accepted cash today. Not sure if that was a one off or is a regular thing. But could, if inclined decide their own profitablity. Service was good but the test for me is would I eat there again. Answer no.

The line out the door is the first sign that this is a great choice. I have the scallops, which were perfectly prepared and served quickly by friendly staff.

Having been regular takeaway goers for 8 year, we can comfortably say this is the best fish and chip shop on Skye! We generally don't eat fish now, however we allow ourselves one fish supper a year and it's always here! The batter is crispy...
