barry
a Scottish word for good, also a man’s name.
Barry Fish is the first restaurant by the award-winning chef Barry Bryson, focusing on direct sourcing of the best fish and shellfish from Scotland as well as optimum seasonal produce from farmers, fishermen, producers and growers across the UK.
Our ethos is simple. The best ingredients we can get, cooked with skill and passion in a welcoming warm environment. There is no formality at Barry Fish other than the respect that we have for what we do.
Barry Fish was included in the Michelin guide shortly after opening and has retained its listing since. Additionally the restaurant has been awarded within the Top 100 best local restaurants UK by the Good Food Guide, The Times Top 75 best Scottish restaurants and been shortlisted for four major hospitality awards.
