Dundee’s legendary Deep Sea Restaurant almost ready to reopen

Dundee’s fabled Deep Sea Restaurant will reopen in October under new ownership.

The famous eatery, which was said to have served The Beatles and two James Bond’s, closed its doors a year ago when long-term owners the Sterpaio family retired.

Now, successful fish monger and restaurateur Darren Spink is planning to reopen the chippie after a “complete overhaul”.

The G&A Spink owner, who also runs The Tailend Restaurant and Fish Bar in St Andrews, also revealed he has a deli planned for the Nethergate site.

He said: “We’re hoping to get some of the frying range installed mid to late September, so we’d hope to open the takeaway in October and the restaurant will follow.”
