Spectacular. The best seafood I’ve ever had. SO fresh, and so well cooked! Drew is a seafood purist, believing in showcasing the incredible flavour of the fish instead of drowning it in sauces, and we couldn’t have had a better experience.
His incredible connections around the area culminate in a platter worthy of kings, with some incredible smoked options, dips, home-baked bread, and more. While neither my partner nor I have any dietaries & the meal is (obviously) primarily seafood-oriented, we were pleased to find out that you can request a meal suitable for even vegans! Would highly suggest having a conversation with him about what you like & want to explore, he’s very friendly and extremely helpful.
Keep in mind it’s BYOB, however complimentary coffee & dessert is offered. He has great local suggestions for stores to buy wine from, though, which I would also recommend! Also ask Drew about taxi options home - he put us in touch with an excellent driver and even organised it for us.
All in all, I couldn’t recommend this experience more. Absolutely incredible, will absolutely come again the next time we’re in Scotland!
Drew was so helpful to our friends when they booked the six of us for dinner at the Fisherman's Kitchen. The entire night was so entertaining. Each element of the dinner was explained and we were encouraged to watch Drew putting together the sharing platters. Everything was excellent and presented beautifully. Definitely a special night.
We love a Seafood platter we have eaten many in many different places in the world but last night we had this one on our own doorstep at ‘The Fisherman’s kitchen’ Balvicar it was beautifully presented and tasted delicious the freshest of products used. Thank you Drew we had a lovely night in your company as well as delicious food. You need to make an appointment as Drew serves you in his own home he can also offer you accommodation in this beautiful location. I recommend a visit here to anyone who loves fresh seafood and fish served beautifully. Edna
I can’t recommend this business highly enough. The Seafood platter is fantastic and such good value. You get a really big platter for £55 per person. We had Lobster, crab, langoustines, squat lobsters, hot smoked salmon, cold smoked salmon, smoked mussels and scallops ceviche. Also lovely homemade bread and homemade mayonnaise (one with chilli and one with dill seeds). It’s simply the best. I’m a real seafood lover and happy to prepare my own but to have all of this brought to your door during lockdown or when on holiday is fantastic. Drew who runs this business is always so friendly and welcoming too. Always tries to accommodate what people want and delivers with a smile! Thank you Drew.
Enjoyed this special treat whilst holidaying with a local friend.
It really was outstanding. Perfectly cooked and presented. It came with delicious mayonnaise, pate, and home made breads.
A very big platter.
Can't wait to visit again! ????
I think I'd do the 1200 mile round trip just to eat this ????
What an experience. We had lunch at the fisherman's kitchen today, the four of us.
Drew is an amazing host, kind and friendly. He welcomed us and we immediately felt like we were home. Talking to him is a pleasure as he will walk you right into his passion for the sea and its products. Everything was prepared, cooked and served to perfection. You can feel Drew's experience as an expert fisherman and as a chef just looking at the plates he served us. And after you tasted those products that just came out of the sea (at most 12 hours before) you realize what is happening. A miracle. The best seafood you ever had in your life. Nothing more, nothing less. Crabs cought just a few hours before. Unbelievable. Plus the journey you have with Drew during the meal, talking about where he sources it, how it prepares it, how he choses every single ingredient. You can feel the passion from the man and suddenly you realize that he is also a great human being.
It was a pleasure we would definitely recommend to experience to anyone, at least once in a lifetime.
We will come back, for sure.
Thank you Drew, from all our hearts.
Just fabulous, eating this amazing seafood is one of life's greatest pleasures! Highly recommend!
We collected a platter for two with 4 lemon possets and took it to our wee caravan where we thoroughly and enthusiastically enjoyed with the kids!!!
Don’t miss this, even though you have to organise somewhere to eat during the pandemic (we asked our guesthouse). Drew is a lovely guy, the food is beautifully prepared and presented, the best meal we had on the holiday. Oh, and fantastic value!
