It's an obvious choice when visiting the coast to indulge in a fish tea but with so many excellent eateries available where do you choose?
Thankfully, Tailend St Andrews - which has become so popular it's opened a second restaurant in Dundee - makes the choice a little easier by mixing the comforting style of a traditional seaside chippy with the class and delivery of an award-winning restaurant.
All of the inscrutably sourced fish they serve is supplied by their own fish house in Arbroath, G&A Spink Fish Merchants and they offer a range of seafood dishes including an excellent fish tea.
They also do a five course seasonal menu for £45 per person on a Saturday night - dubbed the Chef's Table, it's well worth checking out.

The Adamson is named after one of the town’s most illustrious characters, pioneering photographer Dr John Adamson, who lived on the site until it became a post office in 1865.
Now a restaurant, it's one of the town's most popular - and effortlessly cool eateries - with a brasserie style format and a menu that's stuffed to the brim with seasonal ingredients and delectable dishes. Make sure you don't miss out on their award-winning cocktails too.

Locations for restaurants don't come more dramatic than the Seafood Ristorante, perched on a bank on the shorefront, the glass frontage offers stunning views out to sea.
