Oban Seafood Hut in Argyll & Bute

Highly recommended! Fantastic seafood, superfriendly staff, the oysters ar huge, scallops superb, langostines the best I had and the servings of the mussels are enormous. If I lived in Oban this would be my lunchhut 👍

Having heard so much about the fish platter my friends and I had one last night Excellent value at £28 All shellfish delicious and well presented Very generous variety of food Thoroughly recommend and will definitely be back

Seafood isn’t necessarily my first choice but highly recommended by our guide, so… gave it a try. Awesome hot smoked salmon sandwich… absolutely stuffed with juicy fragrant fish. Without question the best sandwich of its type I’ve ever eaten and at £4.95 an absolute steal. I hate getting my fingers dirty when eating but for some reason took a risk on the langoustine tails in hot garlic butter… on special at £10. Oh boy, dripping in butter and no way around dirty fingers but more than worth the ‘discomfort’… juicy and succulent. There’s a hand basin and soap to clean yourself up after eating… never seen that before! Cash only but close to a cash machine. Loads of proper seafood options for those who want mussels, clams, scallops, lobster etc etc

What a find! We wanted somewhere to have seafood platter for lunch whilst visiting Oban, I had seen the Seafood Hut online and thought it looked interesting, however, on chatting to a couple on the bus on the way to Oban they said it is a definite must, much better value than any of the restaurants, we were not disappointed. We had to queue to be served and were lucky to get a space at the huge table outside, we didn't wait long before our feast arrived, it was absolutely delicious, eating seafood outside is the best, it was such a great atmosphere, everything we could have wished for. Thank you for a great experience.

Sin duda calidad precio muy buena. Marisco de calidad cocinado al momento y a buen precio. Nosotros pedimos los mejillones al vino blanco, gambas que eran cigalas com mantequilla y vieyras con mantequilla.

Best oysters, langoustines and scallops ever eaten ! Worth it even on a pooring rain !

We always go to the Seafood Hut every time we go to Oban. We love the oysters and usually get the smoked salmon, the crab and the prawn sandwiches which are jam packed with filling. Lovely staff and great atmosphere

The taste is ordinary, not particularly delicious.

Nice (crab sandwich!) but very simple. Beware of the seagulls!

What a great find! Food straight from the sea that morning, and wow it was beautiful! 🤤 Despite the wind and the rain, everyone under the shelter was very happy - a great sign!

The seafood is fresh tasty and the oysters are really a big one. Although there is not many seat, we really enjoy our meal in sea breeze under sunshine.

Small bare bones seafood shack next to ferry terminal. Reasonably priced for the quality and portion size you get. They understandably get very busy! Small table canteen style and seating area which is fine except when the weather is miserable as it's partially open to the elements. Friendly (understanding and forgiving of inept mumbling from hungover person) staff. Only downside is they only take cash. There's a RBS ATM round the corner opposite the train station less than 3 mins walk away though so no excuse really.

Delicious lobster for a fair price. People are friendly, food is fresh. Good variety to choose from.

Food and service was great , we really enjoyed the sea food was very fresh and cooked to perfection, variety of choices was very good

Amazing seafood, fresh and delicious. This little hut is always busy and sells out fast! No frills just awesome seafood. Staff were brilliant, quick service and friendly. Cash only. Get there early!

Fresh seafood, simply prepared. Generous portions and very affordable.

Brilliant food on the pier. Mussels like I've never eaten before. Ambience unbeatable. Would come back immediately.

You can eat seafood while looking at the sea view and smelling the sea. This is definitely an unforgettable experience. The seafood tastes fresh. The staff are very friendly. When you queue up, you can see the continuous influx of customers. I came twice, the first time ordered oysters, scallops and razor clams and a crab sandwich to take out, the scallops and razor clams were hot, the scallops were great but the razor clams had sand in them, almost every one had sand, I didn't like the lack of them Clean seafood. I ordered a breaded crab for the second time. There is a price for each crab, so you can choose how much you want to eat. The crab cannot be heated and can only be given a small jar of melted butter. The crab meat is delicious and the crab roe seems There are too many, which makes people feel very greasy. Generally speaking, oysters and scallops are worth eating, but the rest depends on personal preference.

We visited the Green Shack during our visit in Oban. On several days I had the fresh mussels, prawns as well as salmon sandwiches and their famous prawn sandwich. The sea food they served was the freshest and best sea food I ever had and I ate lots of sea food. If you are in Oban, take time and enjoy this fresh local sea food. Please note that they do not accept card payments, cash only.

Been once. Wouldn’t bother again. Crab sandwich had cartilage in it and very limp lettuce. Experience made worse by seagulls rummaging through the bins which didn’t have lids on.

Contacted them via Facebook to see if it was possible to get a seafood platter when we were getting the ferry to Mull. They were more helpful, the seafood platter was waiting for us when we arrived for the ferry, they packed it my cool bag with ice and what a brilliant meal we had on arrival at our holiday cottage.

This place is such fun and the fresh seafood is fantastic. All the family enjoy this place and talk about it all the time. Take tissues/wipes!

You can get very fresh fish here. If you're surprised, it's right at the harbor.

Fantastic seafood. Pure, fresh and sooo delicious.

So often we buy food from this shop. So lovely stuff’s and tasty food. But I’m so disappointed. Few months ago we with my man ordered oysters, don’t remember how much, but after them I got food poison. My man also didn’t feel himself well. We forgot about that bad situation. And the same happened 2 days ago, we bought mussels, and again got food poison. Honestly I thought that I will die this time. Never before didn’t feel myself so bad

Really looking forward to having their seafood platter but they had a limited menu in November. Ordered everything on their hot menu because it was so cold. Loved the chowder and the mussels are the best I have ever had! They told me they are closing for the winter this Sunday and will only reopen in March.

Stopped in Oban late in the afternoon on our first leg of our honeymoon doing the NC500, back in September. We took a walk round the pier and noticed this place, it was really busy so we thought we’d keep walking for a bit and come back and get something light to eat. Unfortunately they had just closed by the time we got back and pulled the shutters down, however, the owner spotted us and our dog and shouted for us to come back. She was so lovely and gave us two sandwiches on the house (all because she loved our dog) 🥰 one was a smoked salmon and the other was prawn. Both were absolutely delicious and our husky loved the salmon and prawns too, he wouldn’t stop licking his lips after and wanting some more! Thought I’d repay the kindness and generosity of the owner with a good review and to thank them again! Thank you so much and we will definitely be back on our next trip to Oban to try more of the menu allowing plenty time next time! 😊

Seafood secondary to none across the globe. Simple, but extraordinary. Not the cheapest, but unquestionably worth every penny.

너무나 친절하고 착한 식당이다. 해산물도 싱싱하고 가성비가 완벽하게 좋다. 강력추천! 일단 여기서 먹고 다른 식당 찾아보길 바란다.

As fresh as it gets! Lovely food served by lovely, friendly people

Cash only. Have small change. Had 5 lunches there, tried various items: scallops, cold shrimp, lobster sandwich, mussels, crab sandwich, prawn sandwich. Value-for-money. Convenient location near Calmac harbour. Communal benches: Grab a seat, eat and make friends with fellow diners/travellers! Eat fast though, in the colder months the cold wind makes the food turn cold fast.

Great food, even greater price. £1.4 per oyster, 6/5 star

I bought 5 oysters for eating outdoors at the hut. They were large, fresh, beautifully prepared and exceptionally good. Can't recommend highly enough.

Aufgepasst Seafood - Enthusiasten .... the platter for 2....unvergesslich !

I loved it there. Oban is a lovely town to visit. I would highly recommend seafood hut. I loved langoustines there and mussles too! We had oysters and calamari too, which was fresh and good. Reasonably priced and quite a few options.. They have a small seating area with a couple of big benches and tables, you might not find a space when its busy..

Best prawn sandwich we have ever had. Quirky seating area & great value for what you get

Got to sample some great seafood from the local waters in Oban. Service quick and courteous, prices good and the seafood was excellent. Make this a must do on your things in Oban.

We were originally planning to leave Oban immediately after breakfast for the Highlands but fortunately decided against doing so. Sticking around allowed us to wander close to the famed green shack and give its offerings a go. We were richly rewarded for having cash on us (do note it is cash only) with a sumptuous spread of seafood. Of special note were the enormous and fresh oysters and scallops. We will certainly be back the next time we are in Scotland.

Cash only!! Great quality and value. We got the seafood platter for 2 and asked for it to be wrapped up as we were heading for the ferry. We saved it for dinner than night with a bottle of white and we’re not disappointed. Lots of variety and delicious.

Simple, no frills seafood as fresh as one can possibly get. Our langoustine was caught that day! Very inexpensive for what you get. A must try in Oban.

If it’s good enough for Jay Rayner it’s good enough for me! This place is incredible for fresh seafood 🦞 a must visit if you are in Oban.

Oysters were 💯!!!! Mussels and scallops was our second favourite! a must try seafood place when you visit Oban!

Really disappointed with food and service. Mussels over cooked and scallops bland & not seared. Sliced supermarket bread which was soggy and pretty awful. Claimed not to have enough cash/coins and so gave us less change back than was due when we paid. Server thought...

The oysters were super fresh and delicious! My daughter was in love with the mussels they sell. We will be back for sure!!

Recommend! If you go there you have to try the local oysters! Also mussels recommended… but oysters…. Oceanic one? Flheshy? Juicy? Go for it!

Fresh and friendly -huge bang for you buck! This was only £25!! And that view!!! It’s a must.

Loved the location near the water. First time trying oysters, guided by our server who advised me what to do. Really generous portion of King scallops. Free crab sandwich due to time of our visit near closing time.

Tried a prawn sandwich as heading for a ferry, without doubt the best prawn sandwich ever, super fresh and tasty and a v generous filling. Will definitely try something else next time I am passing, all looked so fresh!

Locally known at The Green Shack and located by Oban’s ferry terminal. Delicious seafood, cooked onsite, table eating area outside but covered by tarpaulin. Unpretentious, friendly and reasonably priced, a taste of Scotland 😋

Seafood doesn’t get any fresher than this. The best local produce served simply and absolutely delicious! 🦞🦀🦪

Cash only, runs out of many things later in the day. Come early! Don’t believe hours online, they change. Small seating area available but often full as this is a popular spot - on a sunny day you’ll have plenty of options but at least there is some covered seating on-site for rainy days, squish up and watch for seagull thieves. Fresh as can be seafood and great value for the price!

We came for lunch one wet, Sunday afternoon in October. We had two oysters, scallops in hot garlic butter and hot langoustines. All came to £30. The oysters were the biggest I've ever seen! All the food was fresh and tasty. Great little casual lunch spot.

had read about this venue whilst looking for places to visit in Oban , reviews sounded good so popped along. its at the end of the harbour area , right beside where you would board the ferry, so a prime spot ! it was a...

Délicieux, face à la mer, magnifique, bonne franquette. Homards, langoustines et crabes pour un Breton je n'ai pas été dépaysé. A recommander absolument

I znowu byliśmy tu na Seafood. Jest to jeden z niewielu polskich akcentów tutaj na północy: nad kioskiem z prawdziwymi smakołykami powiewa Polska flaga. Tutaj spotkaliśmy bardzo miłą Panią z Polski, której jeszcze raz dziękuję za uśmiech ,fachową obsługę i pomoc. Ostrygi były pyszne i....po1,40 £ za szt. Naprawdę polecam wszystkim wielki półmisek różnych owoców morza: homar, langustynki, kraby, krewetki, ośmiorniczka, mule- wystarczyło na obiad dla 3 dorosłych osób. Muszle św. JAKUBA są chyba najsmaczniejsze . To tylko namiot z jedzonkiem, ale przyjeżdżają tu Goście z całego świata. POLECAM.

Scallops in hot butter was absolutely fantastic!

We went here expecting a restaurant environment. What we found was a seafood hut on a pier with a couple of picnic tables that had no seating available. There was no line to speak of, and our place was within walking distance, so we ordered...

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 steamed mussels).

Alright, I'll try... Outblo*dystanding! This is literally the best seafood I've ever eaten, anywhere! The mussels in garlic butter, the prawn sandwich, the smoked salmon sandwich, and oh sweet baby Jesus those Langoustine in garlic butter! This place needs booths so nobody has to watch...

After all the recommendations we decided to visit for a quick lunch. Sadly it did not perform as expected, I even threw away the last piece of hot salmon and the crab meat sandwich did not extend to a full brown sandwich sadly. The ex owner might also be disappointed, as were we, not even a smile. I know the weather was dreich but also know that you can do better

The most delicious seafood. Beautiful oysters, mussels and lobster for very reasonable price. Would love to have more places like this.

Every time I go to Oban, this place is my first stop. You could not get better FRESH seafood if you tried, and the prices are insanely good. If you like seafood, I highly recommend you go! Go.. go now!!

Heerlijke vis, mosselen en mixschotels. Extreem goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.

Ich hatte mich so gefreut hier zu Mittag zu essen und dann gab es nur kalte Dinge wie Sandwiches... Schade aber so geht es nicht. Nicht mal einen Backfisch oder Muscheln gab es... Und bei Nachfrage nur "nur kalt, nix warm".. Gern dann woanders gegessen...

Very good seafood at a good price. You have to be patient to queue up for ordering the food, but it should not take too long. They are serving both cold or hot food. There are only limited seats or standing place with shelter, that can be difficult if it is raining. But definitely worth to go if you want to have some fresh and good seafood that is not easily found in UK. Cash only, remember to get enough cash from the cash machine before you go.

Great customer service and good seafood. My husband went shopping here and was very excited with his seafood purchases.

Fabulous sea food hut on the pier. We were lucky on both occasions last week that the queue was small and we got served very quickly. Scallops cooked right in front of us, mussels so fresh, and huge oysters, which were just amazing. So creamy....

It’s my must go every time visiting Oban. Fresh local seafood and great service. Must try scallops and oysters.

Amazing food fresh from the day. Highly recommended!

So I'll start by saying, absolutely no issue with the food (delicious and fresh), or the pricing - which I thought was reasonable. Long story short, we were berated by one particular member of staff who was bringing food out. Unfortunately, reading a few other reviews, I don't think we were the first.

If you love seafood then you should definitely visit. The seafood platters are epic and the prawn sandwiches are jam-packed with prawns. It’s really good value and service is quick

Really good seafood! We ordered 6 oysters, 1 lobster and 2 nests of crayfish for £50. No alcohol is served. Really recommended!

100% uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen!

I’d rate this zero stars if I could so you guys won’t come visit this place and keep the lines shorter! But really it’s awesome. Best and freshest seafood in town! Portions huge for the price and very very simply seasoned to highlight the seafood! Come early to avoid lines and lack of eating spaces :)

You stand and eat and you clean up the table. Sea shore is next to you. Fresh and hot food.

My wife had the oysters and scallops. The oysters were gritty and were not what was expected by comparison to New England oysters. We actually threw them out. The scallops were better and they included the foot which tasted a bit weird. The scallops were tasty but not as sweet as their New England cousins.

Food was absolutely amazing will definitely visit again

Mussels, scallops, langoustines, prawns.

Unbelievable value. Fantastic mussels and great lobster. Despite long lines things move fast. Highly recommended

Super fresh and local seafood, very nice service and cheap price for such amazing quality food. Totally recommend!

Started come here prob since 2007, many nice things have changed in Oban over the years with more tourists coming, but this place simply remains same as the old time

Fabulous takeaway seafood fresh from the sea, cooked and served at the port. You can't beat this place for simple fresh seafood at reasonable prices. It can be quite busy so queueing may be required and there may not be space at the covered outside dining area.

You won't get sea food as fresh as this place, the muscles and lobster are cooked in front of you, there is always a queue but goes down quickly, you eat outside but there are chairs and tables available.

Nous étions impatients de découvrir cet endroit qui semblait authentique et simple avec de produits frais. Nous étions 4. L’un de nous a été terriblement malade après voir mangé les des huîtres, moules à l’ail et un sandwich aux crevettes. L’hygiène n’est pas au rendez-vous,...

Magnifico sitio para comer marisco de la zona . Ostras , bogavantes y más

being based in the lake district fresh seafood directly out the water isn't something we are usually spoiled with, my husband and i could not believe the prices and the quality, this place has set a very high bar for us and our food adventures...

Heerlijke mosselen gegeten en voor het eerst oesters. Plek die bezocht moet worden wanneer je in Oban bent. De rij lijkt heel groot, maar het gaat erg snel!

Just… wow… blown away by this spot. Highly recommended!!

Absolutely amazing! Can't say more! The food was just amazing! Definitely we'll worth a visit

Very popular, so expect queues. I only had to wait five minutes to get served, and a further five minutes for my food to be served, so well worth that short wait. Scallops and squid were fine, but the mussels on white wine were excellent...

Their seafood is so fresh. I feel the lobster alive on my tongue 👅. I’m so picky about seafood quality but I enjoyed everything I had in here. However cash only is a bit inconvenient. 🥹 And the tidiness of the dining area can be improved. 🦞

Cash only, no service, dirty tables, no toilet. This place could be better with normal area for eating and washing hands. Oysters are great, but the rest is much worse. I am not satisfied with the experience at all. The prices are like in a good restaurant 😩 Almost no hot dishes.

Managed to get the last order of massive oysters for the day!

The best lunch we had in Scotland! The seafood was so worth paying! The scallops were the best ones I’ve ever tried! Keep up the good food guys!

Snack qui vends des fruits de mer au port de Oban. D’excellents produits frais préparés quand on les commande, c’était délicieux, faites le détour quand vous êtes dans le coin.

O tym miejscu krążą legendy. Mała i bardzo niepozorna budka serwująca świeże owoce morza. W korzystnych cenach można skosztować takich rarytasów jak ostrygi, eskalopki, kraby, chomary i całą menażerię morskich smakołyków. Przepyszna była kanapka z łososiem .Miłośnikiem owoców morza nie jestem ale chętnie skosztowałem ostryg.

This is a 'must do' visit if you like fresh, straight off the boat seafood. Absolutely delicious choice of mussels, crab, lobster, langoustines, prawn etc etc etc.

Lo consiglio per gli amanti del pesce. Trattasi di un tipico locale all’aperto dove provare le specialità di pesce espresse. Consiglio di andare prima delle 6 PM

Great wee place. Massive portion of fresh mussels for just £4.95. Also sandwiches are packed full.
