Seafood Shack

Shack-style cafe, outside, with friendly people serving top quality seafood. Menu changes based on catch of the day, prices are fair, and quality is excellent. Ullapool is quite a remote town and this Seafood Shack is one of the highlights of making the journey there. Be sure to check opening times which vary by season.

Had seen the Seafood Shack posted on a user group elsewhere, rude not try it on our road trip. Parked up outside for the 1 limit, popped in and ordered, then the rain arrived, so stepped into the motorhome and ate the delicious Haddock Wrap and coujons. Easy to find and park. Recommended

Very delicious fish! It said “today’s” menu which I think implies that it varies based upon availability of fresh fish. I can especially recommend the wrap! Small “drawback”: there aren’t any smaller servings on the menu, so be sure to arrive with enough appetite to finish your meal! The atmosphere is good and the staff is very kind, but being next to a road meant I didn’t want to hang around after my meal was finished.

Loved this place! It was a cold raining day and we managed to find a table under the canopy and wait for our food. The queue was small and in less than 15 minutes everything was ready. We tried the haddock wrap, the Cullen skink and the seafood taster. Everything was freshly made and very good. Nice portions and very good prices. Thank you guys, everything is amazing!

Great food, and great atmosphere. Tempura battered fish wrap was awesome. Also the smoked mackerel pate was great. I would definitely come back.

Though a bit expensive, the food is Top-notch. The battered haddock wrap was very tasty. Please be mindful of birds in the area. One did soil our food, which affected our overall dining experience. The picturesque atmosphere is breathtaking, especially during the rain.

Way to see why they have a great rating! I got the fish wrap and shared with my wife. They suggested getting it prepared as two kid wraps, and PLENTY of food for one person. The mayo pesto was also very nice addition.

The best fish and chips / fish soup ever in a shack place. It’s simply excellent, tasty , flavors well handled between the fresh fish, sauce and bread… soups with huge pieces of fish, no joking with food in that place… A must try in town.

Ullapool. A pretty little town. We were on the way up north and came here for lunch. Read good things about this little place. And still were suprised about how popular this place is. A pretty big line...15-20mins waiting time. We got lucky and got some seats within a few minutes. Be prepared to share your table, since there's a a lack of space for all customers. But the wait is worth it. Who knew that some of the best oysters we've ever had in our lives would be served here? Tasty, fresh, creamy. Brillant oysters. Nothing else to say. Speechless. But other items were great as well. The shrimp were nice and fresh. The langoustines a real treat. Fantastic item to order. And the fried fish sandwich hot, crispy and oh so tender. Amazing fish and seafood that gets served here. And for fair prices. You can tell the products are fresh and the whole team prepares everything fresh. Highly enjoyable food in a busy, but nice atmosphere. The only thing that fell a bit short was the chowder. Was a bit of a fusion-chowder with asian influences. We love asian food, but this one didn't really impress us. But surely enjoyable for some folks. But all in all it is an amazing place to grab some real and real fresh fish and seafood. Not to be missed. Dog-friendly too!

The freshest oysters , since visiting Cape Cod last fall. Ordered 3 , devoured and ordered 6 more! We also loved all the dogs ;)

Hidden gem behind the main road. There is a little bit of a line - but it went fast. Two things going on here. The food stand and the gin stand. I went for the food, stayed for the gin. I did two different meals here - a cullen skink (like chowder but so much better) and then a seafood combo (salad greens type thing) - they were both hands down the best food I've had in this part of Scotland !!! and I've been here 3 weeks, eating out every meal. The cullen skink had a slight smoky flavored fish and the broth was done to perfection - thick enough but not too thick, and not watery. The seafood combo was awesome ! (i tried to get this the first night but it ran out - so go early) Mix of local favorites and catch of the day. Fresh vegs. The service was fast, clean and very polite. The food was amazing, well prepared, great tastes and excellent portions. The gin shack - sorry i don't remember the wonderful bar name, but it was in the same patio area - has lots of options - i went with a local drink and it was refreshing, cool and the taste was AWESOME ! I know Scotland is all about the whisky but the gin is amazing as well ! Check the hours --- you can walk by anytime, they have a board up with meals and times. it is a covid restriction and not their fault for timing or space. I just don't want to type a set of hours and then it be wrong. Some reviews say 'Cash Only" But I can CONFIRM they have touchless credit card payments - i used my Apple pay but they have a bunch of other logos on the screen. Gin place has touchless credit card as well - Apple pay and others.

This a nice spot with amazing and fresh seafood. We had the tempura haddock wrap and fresh oysters with Tabasco. The haddock wrap was crunchy and delicious. We shared our table with some fellow Americans from Chicago after some locals offered us their table. The setting was nice and the service was fantastic. Every local we met in Ullapool was super nice and friendly. It's worth a stop if you are ever in the area which is an area of great natural beauty.

It's a food truck- so check your hours first, as you often aren't going to get a late meal here and you don't want to miss it like I nearly did! Take your pennies too, as it's cash only. (It says online that t(hey reopen again April 1st 2020 as they close over the winter, and I don't blame them as it was brisk enough back last September with the NC500 crowd thinning.) Permanent set up, lovely people which just adds to the fab, seriously fresh food, I had the garlic crab claws, and they were so so good, but you'll get to pick off the chalkboard on the day.

Food was super fresh, I had scallops with beetroot couscous and salad. Everything was delicious! The food truck atmosphere is cool and casual. Prices are reasonable. Wish I was staying in town longer and could have eaten here again.

Definitely eat here if looking for good food in Ullapool! Super high marks for sophistication, quality, taste, and execution! Price is really good for fine dining type food because it's served in a food truck set up (but offers a spacious outdoor seating area) and admittedly you don't get a ton of protein. But for the amount you pay, you get enough super fresh and delicately flavored protein, paired with a salad dressed in a nice homemade vinaigrette, and a heaping amount of couscous that probably soaked up some of the delicious juices from whatever protein you ordered. Had the scallops, and it was awesome! Would totally have had it the next day, had we stayed more than a day in Ullapool. Also had the fried monkfish, which made for a really fresh fish and chips (without the chips) experience.
