Located in the heart of Portobello High Street, Williamson’s screams local flavour. Right down to the knowledgeable and personable gentlemen that tend the counter; they have a conversation for everyone. My experience of fishmongers isn’t extensive to say the least, but on the occasional glance the stock seems to be quite samey with not a lot of variety. That said I don’t really know what unusual sea-dwellers I would be looking for. The basics are all covered and there is a small range of squid, octopus, scallops and the like. Prices seems reasonable. My particular favourite being the herrings in dill sauce that come at a little over £2 for a tub. Lovely.

I’ve not been so impressed with this fishmonger having had some fish on two occasions that has not been the freshest. They aren’t bad and are better than supermarket quality, but a short trip to the Porty side of Musselburgh will yield a much higher quality of fish. I’ve also caught them cleaning their waterfall window with a wooden brush and letting the water drip from its head over the fish in the window which I don’t think is the most hygienic practice I’m all for supporting local shops, but unfortunately other small traders seem to do better

This is a proper fish shop that even has water cascading down the window. There is usually a queue out the door that’s how great this fish shop is. They don’t stock a great amount of unusual fish, but you can get tuna and swordfish on a regular basis. They sell the biggest eggs. The eggs are such great value and are nearly always double yolks. The staff are always up for a bit of cheeky banter. As this is a proper fish shop, it’s always closed on a Monday.
