Proudly claiming to be the northernmost fish-and-chips shop in Britain, this "chipper" is also the best of its kind on the islands. The combination of superfresh seafood—skate wings, squid, and crab legs—and light and crispy batter (including a gluten-free option) means Frankie's is everything a chip shop could be. Try the local mussels: you won't find any that are fatter or juicier in the United Kingdom. Sit on the deck or in the lovely dining room with views toward Busta Voe. The restaurant closes at 8 pm.
With a stunning position overlooking the Drongs (rocky columns standing in the sea), this eatery serves famously large portions popular with visitors and Shetlanders alike. Browse the local crafts in the shop while waiting for a crispy battered-fish supper, or just sit back on the sofas by the huge picture window and watch the dramatic sea and sky. Don't pass up the many tempting home-baked desserts like sponges, cheesecakes, and giant scones. Reservations are required for Sunday lunch.
