FISH MARKET RESTAURANT££
( 01687-462299; Station Rd; mains £9-21)
At least half-a-dozen signs in Mallaig advertise
'seafood restaurant', but this bright, modern, bistro-style place next to the harbour is our
favourite, serving simply prepared scallops with smoked salmon and savoy cabbage,
grilled langoustines with garlic butter, and fresh Mallaig haddock fried in breadcrumbs, as
well as the tastiest Cullen skink on the west coast.
Upstairs is a
coffee shop
(mains £5-6; 11am-5pm)
that serves delicious, hot roast-beef
rolls with horseradish sauce, and scones with clotted cream and jam.
