Oban Seafood Hut.. (Green Shack) — Restaurant in Scotland

If you love seafood - this is the place to come. It’s a no-frills eatery which offers the freshest seafood ever! You choose what you want from the menu to the side of the counter, queue to place your orders and make payment, and collect your food when your number is called. If you are dining in, you eat your food at a standing communal table by the counter.

We ordered the grand seafood platter for 2 (£42.50) and the mussels steamed in garlic butter (£4.95). For the quality and amount of seafood you get, these prices are a steal. The grand seafood platter comprised a whole lobster, crab claws, two scallops in garlic butter, squid, langoustine, prawns, shrimp, a whole smoked salmon filet and butter toast as accompaniment… on a bed of blue-lipped mussels. For the first time, we felt like we might have ordered too much mussels.

But no worry - because everything was so fresh, it was mind-blowing. The seafood was sweet and succulent. I don’t think I’ve eaten seafood this fresh in quite a while, and certainly not at this price. This is definitely worth the travel to Oban.

Please note that the seafood in the grand seafood platter (other than the scallops) is served cold. Everything is cooked but served cold, so if you prefer your food hot, you need to check which items are hot (e.g., the...

Food decent, but if you're going to be rude to customers for not hearing you call out food, then you maybe need to think about a more efficient system. I don't expect a five star waiter experience in a small place with a quick turnover, but I think a bit of politeness isn't too much to ask for when people haven't heard you call out food. Particularly if you're trying to be helpful by not getting in the way of the counter. Anyway, you're clearly doing well enough that it doesn't matter if you upset a few customers, but if nothing else, i think it's considered ableist to expect everyone to hear you right away. How do you expect elderly or autistic or hard of hearing people to cope? Incidentally, the guy cooking mussels was polite and friendly, despite his job being just as intense, so it's not all of you. You're clearly modern enough to read and reply to Google reviews, so maybe have an electronic board with the numbers come up or something? Would save you all a lot of shouting and be a cheap enough solution. I don't know, I wasn't the only customer who got berated while I was there, so am pretty sure it's not just me. Can't believe I've just wasted over an hour of my holiday...

Absolutely without a shadow of a doubt THE BEST SEAFOOD in Scotland .......infact probably the World !!!

Just had a week on holiday in Oban and I visited the Shack 5 times 😁😁😁 I had this place recommended to me before I went and it didn't disappoint.

I had 2 Grand Platters, and a Platter for Two ( which was only consumed by one 😁) Platters are amazing the only shell fish not on the platter are species that have not been discovered yet !!! Lost count of how many portions of Scallops I ate along with dressed crabs, lobsters and mussels in wine. Only two days I didn't visit and that was because we were away on day trips 🙁😂

The wife said I could of swam home today!!!!!

Amazing Food, Fresh Caught and more importantly Amazing Staff who still have time to be courteous and friendly no matter how busy they are ( and they are extremely busy) I can see why the place is always full of queues of people

I've eaten a lot of seafood in 45 years and this is they best I have ever tasted !

Scallops in Garlic Butter are out of this world !

I have told my wife we have to book up for next year so I can try the other half of the menu...
