Partan Bree

This seafood specialty hails from northeastern Scotland, where most of the country's fishing fleet is based, which makes fish and seafood regular staples. Partan bree is essentially a traditional Scottish crab bisque whose name is derived from the Scots Gaelic word for crab - partan, and bree (lit. brew), a Scots term for soup, referring to the broth in which the crabs were cooked. This creamy, luscious Scottish crab soup is typically served garnished with fresh, finely chopped chives.
