Fish Shop in Ballater hits Condé Nast’s World Hot List for 2024 – DRAM Scotland

The Fish Shop in Ballater, sister restaurant to the award-winning the Fife Arms Hotel in Braemar has been named one of the world’s best new restaurants by  Condé Nast Traveller in their world Hot List for 2024.

Opened last year, and managed by husband-and-wife team, Executive Chef Marcus and General Manager Jasmine Sherry,  Condé Nast Traveller judge, Sarah James said “ Despite its name, Fish Shop is not a classic British chippy but a smart, sustainability-focused seafood restaurant with its very own fishmonger.

“The double-use venue is the sister property of Scotland’s slickest hotel, the Fife Arms, which is located just 25 minutes away. Russell Sage Studio (who also designed the Fife Arms interiors) chose tasteful nautical accents to complement the food. The menu is local and seasonal but might include Cape Wrath oysters in Champagne tempura or Shetland mussels with East Coast cured nduja.

“Whatever you order, accompany it with a round of Negronis (local gin and vermouth with Campari, pimped up with samphire), followed by glasses of Riesling or Picpoul.”
