The Oyster Shed

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Heard and read some good things about this spot. So this time around on Skye we made sure to grab some lunch here. The last 200m or so is a steeper one-lane road, but not problems here if you just look ahead a bit. The parking lot by the Oyster Shed has limited spaces. Again here...just don't rush - bring some time to either wait for a spot or to park further down and walk up. We got lucky and got a spot. Two RVs parked here too. Almost couldn't get in and out and did hold everybody up - so I wouldn't recommend bringing your RV up here. Inside you order by tablet. It's quite a big space inside the shop. Once you got your food (outside) you can sit down right in front or head around the corner to the big table with some views. We were happy to sit out front though. Ordered two kinds of cooked topped oysters (salmon/seaweed and spicy seaweed chutney), crab legs, a softshell crab and half-a-dozen of regular oysters. The fresh raw oysters were nice and of good quality. The cooked oysters were decent, maybe easier for oyster-beginners since the toppings cover the sea/oyster flavour. The softshell crab was really tasty - but also a bit pricey for our served size. The best item were the crab legs cluster. A good load of legs for little money. Very tasty! All in all a good place to enjoy some seafood. Some items were great, others also very good - but not great. If we come back it would be for the Crab legs...

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.
