The Oyster Shed

The Oyster Shed on the Isle of Skye is a delightful gem. During our week-long trip, we were eager to experience this charming eatery, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from an oyster shed—rustic, very casual, and perfectly suited to its coastal setting. Ordering was straightforward, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The oysters themselves were outstanding; I’ve sampled oysters from some of the finest establishments, and I can confidently say that these rank among the best. It’s puzzling to read some negative reviews, as our experience was nothing short of excellent. We also indulged in the mussels, shrimp, and fries, all of which were generous portions and excellent value for money. The freshness of the seafood was evident. If you’re on Skye, a visit to The Oyster Shed is definitely worth it—don’t miss out on this fantastic unique Skye experience!

I had a few oysters and they were shucked in front of me, a wedge of lemon cut and offered to add sauces for me. They were the largest oysters I’ve seen and absolutely delicious! I also ordered a bottle of water and the guys were lovely. The soft crab wasn’t very nice (it was mostly oily batter) and I didn’t like the shoestring chips, preferring normal sized fries - so I gave the food a 3. 5 stars for the oysters though, but a 1 for the crab and chips. I ended up throwing them away.. I had no problem parking today as there were only a few of us. They provided utensils, serviettes, wet wipes and sauces for your meal in the dining shed and the view was lovely.

Really cute place. Mixed reviews from my group for the food. We missed any fresh shucked oysters which I’m sure are great. Half my group got the scampi which they really enjoyed. Half of my group got cooked oysters and did not enjoy them at all. If you want hot sauce, you need to buy a whole bottle. I liked their onion rings though. The parking lot is a little small so keep that in mind if you’re going during busy season.

Got here around 12~ which was a great time to come because by 12:30 it was packed and there were lines out the door! There's a little sitting area that is beautiful but it's mostly takeaway style. Fresh seafood and a great great feed. Highly recommend if you're on the Isle to visit, it was so worth it. We got Oysters, baked oysters and softshell crab which were fantastic, they do whole lobsters for £20 as well! Parking is limited and its a small area so go early!

This place cannot be rated high enough. Fantastic rustic setting. The food is great, with special mention of what must be the freshest oysters out there. Portions are great and prices are reasonable.

This seafood bar, nestled near the Talisker Distillery, is quite secluded uphill, as one would expect from a seafood establishment near the water. They offer both self-order and counter-order options. The food is reasonably priced, primarily consisting of fried dishes. However, the quality is average, good for a quick snack bite. Fresh oyster was sold out when we arrived.

If you’re a seafood lover visiting London, The Oyster Shed is a must-visit spot. Located right on the Thames, it offers stunning river views — especially beautiful at sunset — and a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. The oysters are fresh, plump, and perfectly presented, with a selection that changes depending on the day’s catch. Their seafood platters are generous and beautifully arranged, featuring prawns, mussels, crab, and smoked salmon, making it an ideal sharing experience. The wine and champagne list is well-curated to complement the seafood, and the staff is knowledgeable in recommending perfect pairings. Service is generally friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. While prices are on the higher side, the quality, location, and ambiance make it worthwhile. It’s a great place for a casual yet refined lunch or a romantic dinner with a view of the river. ⭐ Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5) Best for: Oyster enthusiasts, seafood platters, riverside dining.

We wanted to eat here after seeing it on a YouTube video and we arrived around 2 pm We ordered lobster, prawns, oysters and onion rings. They were out of scallops and some of the drinks we wanted too. The food is cooked in the food truck and there are picnic tables to eat on under an enclosure. They were out of many utensils and only had wooden spoons. There was no hand soap and paper towels at the sink within the enclosure. There are no public bathrooms and their parking lot is small. We probably wouldn’t eat here again.
