The Fish-House (also known as the Salmon House)[1] is a Category B listed building on Golf Road in the Buchanhaven area of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. One of the two right-angled blocks dates from 1585,[2][1] making it the oldest building in Peterhead.[3] Walker and Woodworth state the structure was built as a coastal store for Inverugie Castle by William Keith, 4th Earl Marischal, whose initials are on a skewputt.[4] They also state that it was "rebuilt c. 1801," but without clarification as to which building.

The property is still in operation, as the home of the Ugie Salmon smokehouse.[5] The addition, which is not attached to the original building, was added the following century.[1]

The original section of the building has a crow-stepped gable with a forestair up to the loft.[1]

The road on which it stands is so-named because it leads to Peterhead Golf Club, although that was established over 250 years after the fish house.
