The recent upsurge in game dishes on restaurant menus is hardly surprising; their exquisite flavour is enough to warrant attention, but what about game fish? The Atlantic blue marlins are one such species with a spear-like snout ready to knife through a school of prey. Thankfully, its namesake restaurant has shifted to the heart of Dundee on the waterfront which is a restrained place where diners are seen enjoying the best of what the coastal waters of Fife and Angus have on offer.

So here's a chance to get your feet wet, sorry taste buds whetted, possibly with a warm calamari salad with red onion, pimento, chilli and olive dressing, or Scottish mussels steamed in white wine, onion, garlic, herbs served with French bread. Grilled chicken breast served on champ with mushroom, garlic and chorizo butter or lobster and prawn tails set on turmeric flavoured rice in a creamy South African style curry sauce are particularly attractive main course options. In addition to the usual sticky toffee pudding, the dessert list at Blue Marlin has something else interesting; keep an eye open for the dark and white chocolate cheesecake set on biscuit base with raspberry compoté.
