One of Scotland's top chefs has launched a new summer menu on Edinburgh's waterfront at the Shore in Leith, showcasing the best fish and seafood from Scotland.

Chef Barry Bryson's 'Barry Fish' is now one of just a handful of restaurants in the Scottish capital included in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Barry Fish has also earned its place on The Good Food Guide’s UK-wide list of ‘100 Best Local Restaurants 2026’.

Diners can enjoy views directly into the open-plan working kitchen from the pass, as well as out over the Water of Leith from the comfort of the restaurant.

Big snack highlights of the new summer menu at Barry Fish include Berwick crab flan pâtissier, crème fraîche, apple and pickled celery; as well as smoked sea bass rillettes, soused Orkney herring, radish, tartar and crackers.
