Oban Seafood Hut.. (Green Shack)

If you come to Oban and miss the Seafood Hut, you'll be missing out. We ordered: Lobster 10/10 Scallops 10/10 Mussels 10/10 - expect a portion that outweighs he price. Oysters 1000/10 - the oysters of the day we went were rather large. I typically prefer them small and sweet but these we so beautiful, creamy and delicious that it made me reevaluate my favourites.

This spot is a must-visit for fresh seafood lovers! The platters are incredible value—portions are generous, perfect for sharing, and packed with variety. Highlights include the mussels, scallops, salmon, and especially the oysters, which are unbelievably large, fresh and flavorful. Whether you’re going for the affordable £29.95 platter or splurging on the £48 premium option, you’ll leave more than satisfied. The only downside is limited seating, so you might end up eating nearby while dodging seagulls. Despite this, the quality and taste make it worth it.

Quite simply the best place I have eaten in a long time! I’m a chef of nearly 30 years and this place seriously has mastered their market, I only wish I lived nearer so I could eat there all the time! If you are looking for fancy, this is not the place, but if you are looking for honest fresh seafood at reasonable prices and enjoy the social aspect of communal outside no thrills dining, you simply won’t find better. I wish there were places like this all over the UK, rather than golden arches and the like. My partner and I shared the big seafood platter and it was superb. Beautiful fresh cooked mussels, langoustines, prawns, calamari, a whole lobster and crab clays all for £48. We enjoyed it so much we went back for oysters and two fresh crabs to take away. The oysters were among the best, if not the best I have ever eaten - lovely plump and creamy - and I cheffed in Australia 16 years with beautiful produce. Likewise the fresh dressed crab (yes I did cheat and get a dressed one, although whole crabs were also available) was probably the tastiest brown crab I can remember. 10/10 to these guys, keep up the great work!

Seafood was very fresh and tasted great. The portion sizes are really good too for the price. On our second visit they had limited supply of lobster sandwich, probably the most expensive sandwich I've ever bought at £10, but was very well worth the price as they didnt skimp on the lobster meat! Shame they didn't have a lot of seats so had to sit at a nearby bench as the seagulls eye up our food. Seating is also outside so may get cold and wet.

OMG! Seriously good food!!! Oysters were large and plump, bring and full of flavor...I got the mussels with extra garlic and they were perfect...great prices and friendly service...I grabbed a crab sandwich for the train ride back to Glasgow...certainly not to be missed

This place slaps. We got way more seafood than expected with the premium platter, and it was great… but honestly the best part were the oysters we added. The giant, fresh, local oysters served with nothing more than a lemon wedge were the best I’ve had and I think they knew it. Next time I’ll do 100 oysters over the platter… which isn’t a negative… but that’s how good those fresh oysters were.

Amazing spot for some fresh seafood. We opted for some oysters & the large £48 platter. Oh boy it was HUGE! Plenty of stuff on there for sharing & a very good variety. Noteworthy were the scallops & salmon. Really delicious. I think this was fabulous value for money. No wonder it’s famous for their seafood! YUM. There are a few tables to eat & rub elbows with fellow customers but if this doesn’t bother you then it’s perfect 🙌🏻

We made a special detour to Oban just to try this place and it was absolutely worth it! The seafood was incredibly fresh and reasonably priced. The mussels were exceptionally delicious, and while the lobster took a bit longer to prepare, it was well worth the wait. 😋 Highly recommend for any seafood lover!

Cooked me up a KG of muscles right in front of me and they were the best I ever had. Prices great too and just super fresh seafood.

A do-not-miss destination for any stop-over in Oban, this green shack has fresher than fresh seafood of pretty much any variety you can conjure up: razor clams, scallops, mussels, oysters, shrimp, langoustines, salmon, crab, and more. Enjoy the sweet, clean flavor raw or cooked to order with some garlic and butter. The line can be justifiably long, but it's well worth the wait. There are some covered picnic tables outside, but we just grabbed a to-go box and ate sitting by the bay.

Fresh fresh fresh. Sweet juicy mussels. Fat oysters. Lovely big scallops. An authentic sea town experience on wooden tables on the water front. Loved it.

An absolute must. Better seafood here than in most fancy brick and mortar seafood restaurants. Worth the wait. Scallops and lobster are a must.
