Also do a deal on trimings ideal for the fish pie :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2153#post-22690 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 22:03:52 +0000 SRD 22690@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Coming from Newfoundland I too am fussy about my fish. The only place I buy it now* is Patterson's from Eyemouth who come to the farmer's market on Saturday mornings. Have tried Eddies but not always impressed; Something Fishy on Broughton not bad. But Patterson's always fresh (although perhaps not quite as good now as a few years ago). </p> <p>* save the occasional fishfinger for the younger members of the family. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2153#post-22688 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 21:44:11 +0000 kaputnik 22688@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.qype.co.uk/place/69141-Eddies-Seafood-Market-Edinburgh">Eddie's Seafood Market</a> in Marchmont seems to get good reviews and be popular. Can't comment myself as even though it's just round my corner I can't abide seafood! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2153#post-22687 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 21:40:19 +0000 chdot 22687@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well there's one in Marchmont that famous TV chefs like, but I've never been that impressed - has more 'exotics' than most fish shops.</p> <p>One in Morningside Road next to Mellis is fine - though they usually start taking stuff out of the window about 5 (don't shut 'till 5.30) which can be a bit annoying.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/330320774/in/photostream/"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/129/330320774_3a869e450b.jpg"></a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2153#post-22685 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 21:28:21 +0000 Mabs 22685@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi there folks.<br /> Coming down from Shetland, The Land of Good Fishmongers and one inparticular 'The Hand Made Fish Co' I am on the lookout for some quality fish once my student loan comes through next year.</p> <p>Do you fine people have any preferences?<br /> Now I am cycling it's great not worrying about parking either.</p> <p>So any recommendations are greatlt appreciated.</p> <p>Many thanks.</p> <p>Michael </p>
