According to Scottish tourism officials, Edinburgh has more restaurants per person than any other city in the UK. We are talking about 5,000 restaurants. And that doesn't count another 500 pubs. Since it is such an international city, pretty much every type of food can be found here. Naturally, British restaurants dominate. Indian, Thai, and Asian restaurants are everywhere. We have even seen Himalayan restaurants. Don't forget the fish and chips (french fries). Our dinners out, which have been about once a week, have all been very good.
The seafood is first class. After all, Edinburg is on the coast. Our Stockbridge neighborhood has a fish monger. Even the supermarkets have an abundance of fresh seafood. No surprise, salmon tops the list of delicious seafood; it is the UK's number one food export. On that note, we have read about the concerns regarding salmon farms; apparently not all are responsibly growing salmon. And, the wild caught salmon is being depleted. These reports remind us of the Alaska and Chili salmon situations. Good eats.
