WHITE Horse Oyster & Seafood Bar is opening soon on the site of the oldest pub on the Royal Mile. Set up by the team behind Edinburgh institutions Chop House & Monteiths, this new restaurant promises to deliver the freshest Scottish seafood in a casual and relaxed environment.

INGREDIENTS: Serves 1
100g skinned salmon fillet
15g avruga caviar (some for garnish)
Juice of 1/4 of a lemon
1/2 a spring onion
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Small bunch of watercress
METHOD
1 On a chopping board finely chop the spring onion and set aside.
2 For the salmon we use the freshest Scottish salmon we can source to make sure the quality is of the highest standards. If you are buying from your local fish monger ask for sushi grade salmon to ensure you are using the very best salmon. With a sharp knife carefully dice the salmon into cubes approximately 5mm wide.
3 Next grab a medium sized bowl and add in the diced salmon, half of the avruga caviar, lemon juice and finely chopped spring onion. Gently mix together so that all the ingredients
are thoroughly mixed. Season with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt to taste.
4 To plate, take a circular metal mould and spoon the salmon mixture into the mould gently, pressing down with the spoon so that the salmon keeps its shape once the mould is removed. Remove the mould and garnish with the remaining caviar and a small handful of watercress. Serve immediately.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
