Title
Aberdeen Market 8: Merchant & Reid
Description
A photograph by Roddy Millar of the fishmonger Merchant & Reid in Aberdeen Market. This unit was located in the building's lower food hall towards the Green. Merchant & Reid is understood to have started business in the Market in 1985 and closed for the final time in March 2019, not long after this photograph was taken. In addition to an array of fresh and smoked fish, this image also shows the stall selling various sauces and other accompaniments. On the pillar on the left is a poster showing the seafood species found in Scottish waters. Below that, a board with an anthropomorphised fish lists the following specials: haddock block, haddock singles, smoked block, smoked singles and bread lemon sole. Behind the pillar is an advert for Avo Concepts, a café that was also located in the Market's lower food hall. It specialised in dishes containing avocado. Photograph taken on 26/02/2019.
