Get in

Fair Isle, a hidden gem in Shetland, offers a unique island experience. To reach this enchanting destination, you can hop on the mail boat, Good Shepherd IV, from Grutness Pier at the southern tip of Shetland. Alternatively, during the summer months, you can catch a ferry from Lerwick. No need to worry about renting a car - the #6 public transport bus conveniently runs from Lerwick to the pier to meet the ferry. A small fee is required for the ferry, which varies depending on whether you are a resident or non-resident of Fair Isle. Booking in advance is essential, and you must have accommodation to secure your ferry ticket. Once you arrive, your gracious hosts will pick you up from the ferry and provide all your meals. Fair Isle has no public buses and only a small shop, ensuring a peaceful and remote getaway.

Popular Foods

The first most popular food in the United Kingdom is Fish and Chips. This classic dish consists of battered and fried fish, typically cod or haddock, served with hot, crispy French fries. The fish is coated in a light, crunchy batter that contrasts with the tender, flaky fish inside. It's often accompanied by a side of mushy peas or tartar sauce for added flavor.

The second most popular food in the United Kingdom is Full English Breakfast. This hearty meal is typically enjoyed on weekends and includes bacon, sausages, eggs (often scrambled or fried), black pudding, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, baked beans, and toast or fried bread. Sometimes, it can also include kippers (smoked herring) or haggis (a Scottish specialty made of sheep's heart, liver, and lungs).

The third most popular food in the United Kingdom is Shepherd's Pie. This traditional comfort food is made with minced lamb (or beef) mixed with onions, carrots, and sometimes celery, forming a savory meat mixture. This mixture is then topped with a layer of mashed potatoes and baked until the potato is golden brown. Some recipes may also include a layer of cheese or breadcrumbs on top for added flavor and texture.
