A new fish restaurant has opened its doors at Macdonald Aviemore Resort, serving authentic fish and chips alongside gourmet, seasonal catches.

Located within the Aviemore Hotel, the Highland Fish Bar offers guests, visitors and locals alike a taste of the Scottish Highlands with freshly-caught fish served every day.

The Highland Fish Bar offers more than just traditional fish and chips. Its menu features favourite classic seafood dishes, such as haddock, king prawns, monkfish, and sole, to gourmet specials including lobster, oysters and langoustines.

Every fish served is caught daily, then delivered to Peterhead and Scrabster ports before arriving at the Highland Fish Bar.

Kenny McMillan, managing director at Macdonald Aviemore Resort, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome people of all ages to experience this fantastic, new dining concept located within the resort.

“The idea behind the Highland Fish Bar goes to the heart of what we stand for in terms of fresh, locally-caught and sustainable produce. I’m confident it will prove to be a hit with guests and local people alike and look forward to the restaurant going from strength to strength.”

The restaurant is proud to meet rigorous standards for environmental responsibility and sustainable ocean practices by ensuring every piece of fish, provided by local supplier Sea Stocks, is certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
