Fishmonger/Retail Manager

Honouring and celebrating the history and culture of the Scottish fishing industry, The Fish Shop Restaurant and Fishmonger in Ballater is conceived to provide a friendly and relaxed ambience to cater to the local community as well as visitors that frequent this historic town. The integration of the Fishmonger ensures the "catch to plate" concept, honest to food and process. Both the fishmonger offering and the restaurant menu are dependent upon the daily offerings landed from trusted sources.

Of the 40 covers, there is a choice of seating; on stools at the bar, around a clinker-built fishing boat table in the corner, or on banquettes in the main restaurant above which hangs a sculpture of a school of fish, woven in wicker by a renowned local artist.
