Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Fish Supper

Fresh Musselburgh haddock in batter, with chips from potatoes peeled and cut in the shop that day. The house says this is what made it famous; we'd take it as a supper, with the homemade tartare.

Also on our table

  • A pot of the homemade chunky tartare sauce

L'Alba D'Oro

Scottish fish and chips · chip shop (chippy) since 1975 · Canonmills (Henderson Row), Edinburgh

7 Henderson Row, Edinburgh EH3 5DH

Must-goOne of the few places in this city we'd plan a trip around.

Filippo and Celeste Crolla opened this chippy, a fish-and-chip shop, as newly-weds and named it the golden dawn after the mountains around their home town in Italy. Their son Gino and Gino's wife Emanuela run it with them now, and it is still the fish supper that brings Edinburgh in.

The proof, in the house's own words
