A super-friendly takeout shop on Leith Walk, The Mermaid serves up a veritable smorgasbord of battered, deep-fried delights. From some of the finest fish and chips you'll ever taste to the deep-fried haggis (a little brown sauce helps), The Mermaid batters just about everything in store. For the truly daring, there's the King Rib, somewhat of a deep-fried rendition of McDonald's beloved-yet-creepy McRib sandwich. Note: This spot got the Anthony Bourdain seal of approval, as he filmed a segment here for the Travel Channel's No Reservations.
No alcohol available. Serving lunch and dinner daily.
