Scotch and spanking-fresh seafood come together in this outpost of the Auld Alliance (the long-standing friendship between Scotland and France, cemented by opposition to England). Enjoy unusual pairings such as smoked mackerel and burrata (cream-filled mozzarella) or red-mullet tart with star anise and turnips, then linger over a single malt.
