"Best Fish Restaraunt
The Captain's Galley, Scrabster, Caithness
It's a treat to find a small friendly space offering such a wealth of locally sourced seafood (its harbour location gives views of the local boats bringing in the day's catch). The fact that it's all fully sustainable is a bonus. Jim Cowie, working on his own in the kitchen, takes you on a whistle-stop world tour, from vichyssoise with a smoked local oyster via miso-cured fish with Thai jasmine rice to 'tapas' of monkfish liver and salt fish brandade. In lesser hands, you'd be nervous, but in the stone-walled former ice house, with his charming wife Mary pouring you a glass of reisling, it feels just right."
This wasn't best in the highlands, it is best overall as far as the editor is concerned.
Well done Jim and Mary.
