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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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...

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 😋

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...

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...

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...

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

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....

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

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,...

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...

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...

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.

Great place, be prepared to queue as it is always busy. The fish doesn't get much fresher, you can see it coming in as you queue. Had the mussels and the langoustines, both were delicious. The pre-prepared sandwiches looked good and were absolutely packed with...

What a great place to eat a lobster, mussels or scallop ! Totally fresh, just from the sea. One of the best experience in town.

Absolument DIVIN! N'hésitez pas une seule seconde et courez vers cette petite cabane verte. Je n'ai jamais mangé d'aussi bons fruits de mer à prix si bas, c'était incroyable. Malheureusement il n'y avait plus de Saint-Jacques mais je compte bien y retourner dans ma vie....

I share the grand platter with my son 9 months ago .. and it was so good, we’ve talked about it ever since. So when we came back, we had to visit again .. and I am so pleased that it was just as good....

It’s a hut selling spankingly fresh seafood at good prices with minimal frills. It’s been here for years and the prawn sandwiches are still legendary. Only a few tables, no plates, no cutlery, so messy. Great view of the harbour, ferocious seagull. Bring your own...

This was the most delicious street food meal I have ever had! The hot smoked salmon sandwich was packed with fish and the mussels in garlic and wine were cooked right in front of me! So fresh! This is such an incredible place to eat...

Hi, tried contacting you by email, don't think you got the message, didn't want to put it on here but.... Queued for 30 Min.s yesterday to buy 2 crab sandwiches, got to the counter and was told you didn't have any and we couldn't have...

Very Very disappointed. Had a seafood platter which was not even properly thawed. Not fresh. My husband wanted a crab sandwich and although we called there twice, they had none. Won't go back.

Delicious hot Razor clams in garlic butter but had to wait a long time for them. Said I wanted to eat them as I walked but they were served on a plastic plate so I had to stand at the table, a box would have...

When visiting Oban I never miss going to the hut for some seafood and its always been lovely. Unfortunately this time has been extremely disappointing. I purchased 2 dressed crabs to take home as I usually do. They were stored in an ice box for...

Wonderful and fresh seafood. Not expensive and good service. Enjoy being there and definitely will visit again.

This was recommended to us by the guide in the local tourist office. We wanted a light lunch of fresh seafood. It was busy, seating was scarce so we ordered king scallops in garlic and a hot smoked salmon sandwich. Staff were great despite being...

My family and I arrived at Oban Ferry Port about 6:15 in the evening and my Dad & I took a wander down the side and saw this shellfish place. We walked over to see what there was and immediately saw the mussels in garlic...

A popular and bust seafood shack located right on the harbour, it offers a good selection of seafood dishes and it’s certainly fresh judging by the bucket of prawns that arrived whilst we were there. I just opted for some prawn sandwiches, and in retrospect...

Got to be the best of its type. Good selection of the freshest sea food. All sea food caught and cooked locally. Mussels take away just melt in your mouth.

Great seafood, fresh, exceptional value for money, great location & relaxed! I would highly recommend a visit especially if you have your own place to stay and you want the best take out ever!

The best seafood in Scotland. We have visited loads of times and are never disappointed. It was our last day in Oban and we couldn't go home without visiting. Ordered 6 oysters. £1.40 per oyster, soooo cheap and the size of them, they were huge....

A great location right in centre of town,beautiful seafood cooked in front of you.....which was very tasty,the staff were friendly & courteous highly recommended.

It's always a must rain or shine whenever I'm in Oban and wanting seafood. More likely rain than sun... There's the occasional nice sunny day. Fresh seafood from the days catch straight to the counter. We always have the grand platter which is basically everything....

The best seafood ever, hands down! Fresh off the boat from the pier this little green hut produces the most incredible seafood. We were in Oban 5 years ago and I vowed to come back to get my scallop (with the roe) fix!! First-come-first-serve for...

We were recommended this place by the wandering Oban Town Guide who also volunteers in the museum. We had freshly cooked mussels, a half lobster salad and hot smoked salmon. All was excellent but the smoked salmon was to die for. Good pricing and friendly...

Got some freebie mussels in garlic & onion which were absolutely delicious & very generous portion as a sample. Was going to buy some scallops but it is cash only & didn't have time to find a cash machine before our ferry left. Hope to...

Love the food that the Sea Hut sells, I had the scallops with chilli sauce, they were delicious, my partner and my sister both had the hot smoked salmon sandwiches, both were impressed with both the quality of the fish but also the price. I...

We happened to be passing and decided to call in for lunch. We had an amazing seafood platter which we ate harbourside in the sun. A lovely casual, friendly feel in a great location.

I feel in love with the Green Shack as I ate fresh Oysters on the half shell. Thank you Green Shack I have returned for more fabulous seafood. Great staff too.

Amazing. Lovely staff and Excellent seafood. The perfect late lunch experience in the harbour. We loved the causal dining feeling shared with others and the selection of food fabulous for seafood lovers. Really fairly priced too for good quality.

A visit to Oban isn’t complete for me without a few fat oysters at the Green Shack. It doesn’t get much fresher than this. You can even watch the cooking. And don’t worry about eating with your fingers - a hand washing station is provided.

We had the scallops and the Langoustines. They were so good that we ordered the mussels and oysters. The oysters are absolutely massive, so be prepared. The food was cooked perfectly. Cash only. Prepare to watch the seagulls fight for the leftovers.

Alfresco seafood from the green shack, ask for the mussels cooking in the pot. Open from 10am you can get your morning shelling of crayfish. Sorry O prefer hot seafood but certainly a wide variety of seafood to go. I had my platter wrapped and...

Went to get some seafood for tea. Sign up saying cash only. I had £20 note and before I gave my order the lady behind the counter snapped she had no change. Strange as it was very busy. Luckily we went to D. Watts fishmongers...

Best place for fresh fish and shellfish 🦞 in Oban I’ve been here many times staff are great and food is outstanding. Great mix of customers. Beside the ferry terminal get your self along and try the bounty of the sea

Prawn sandwiches on brown - the very very best No time to go for the full monty of their great produce as we were late for the train - but these are a quick compromise

We visited twice on our trip to Oban. The prawn cocktails in the shells were so tasty. The sea food sauce was delicious. On our way home we stopped off and got the the platter for two for £25. That consisted of crab claws, mussels,...

Delicious seafood, reasonable prices. Full range of nationalities the day we visited - Japanese, Americans,French & Germans all raving about the food & happy to perch on the outside benches with everyone else. Always worth a visit when in Oban

We visited on the first day of the 2023 season and lunch. As with everything it seemed from comments from the locals that prices have increased, but we still found it very reasonable and had a very satisfactory lunch for 2 for under £20. The...

The Seafood Hut, known locally as the Green Shack, is well worth seeking out if in Oban and looking for great tasting top quality seafood at reasonable prices. At certain times it can be very busy with long queues so finding it with a short...

Really great selection of seafood. They even offer samples to the people waiting in the queue. We had a sharing platter with lots of different seafood. There was a large sharing table and seats. Also a tap to wash your hands afterwards.

In theory this is just a small shed on the Pier at Oban but it is a Mecca if you like seafood! Always fresh, always tasty and always served with a smile even on a colder, wet day.

We popped by the hut in Oban, for the first time this week during our visit to the highlands. We all very much enjoyed the platter for our tea. Thank you 😁

We had the pleasure of tasting mussels and langoustines, so tasty the long queue speaks for itself , definitely recommend

The mussels and the lobster are absolutely magnificent, the only place where you could eat your seafood pure, not smothered in a creamy sauce. Fresh, delicious, just one remark: not enough space to eat, had to sit somewhere on a pier.

Had another amazing lunch at this popular seafood hut on Oban’s pier. Delicious mussels and a substantial prawn sandwich. Great value for money

We stopped here on the way to Isle of Skye. This is our third time here and the food is fantastic as always. My wife and I both love seafood. We had seafood cold plater last time, scallops and mussels. This time we had hot...

We stopped by today for a quick lunch. We got the seafood platter for two - we took our smoked salmon home for dinner as there was Soo much food. The smoked herring was delicious. The muscles in garlic butter were cooked perfectly. Soo much...

Fantastic oysters and a great variety of seafood, super quality, friendly, efficient service, could not be faulted, highly recommended.

Wow!! This should be on everyone's list of places to visit and dine at while in Oban. The seafood is so fresh and plentiful. Great selection. It's open all day until about 6 and very popular for lunch. Dining is casual, outdoor, picnic style.

The oysters and mussels were perfect. Could not believe how good this place is. The prices are fantastic too.

We visit Oban regularly and the seafood bar is one of the places we visit regularly.On this occasion one of our purchases the mussels was a mixture of previously cooked mussels and fresh mussels undercooked. We also had an issue with payment.The counter assistant had...

Followed the tripadvisor crowds to this spot and enjoyed a seafood platter for two in our campervan looking out at the water … delicious and generous, loved it!

The queues say it all! Delicious seafood at very reasonable prices. Prawn sandwiches are superb. Highly Recommend.

great place for local shell fish et cetera. has the feeling and experience of fresh from the sea. def worth the visit

This place may be small but they know what they are doing with seafood. It was queued out all the time. We thoroughly enjoyed the crab and prawn sandwiches...beautifully fresh and tasty. The mussels and the seafood platter were extremely popular. Great

Una rivendita sul molo, un tavolozze all'aperto per consumare sul posto o da portarsi a casa. Noi abbiamo preso del...

Wij hebben genoten van de seafood platter op de pier in Oban. Het kan hier wel druk zijn en de...

The food here was amazing cant deny that. Ordered a weird combination of crayfish and chips to try something different to the woman behind the counter cooking them pulling a face and glaring at me. I then proceeded to wait for the chips to be...

Possibly the most fun eating in Oban. It's a must. Everything from hot smoked salmon and crab sandwiches, to freshly Cooke scallops and lobster platters? By the Calmac very - DONT MISS IT!

We were really looking forward today to have the mussels and a platter. There was a queue but to be expected on a summers day in Oban. Whilst waiting in the queue, we saw the guy with the "cowboy" hat serving the mussels stopping for...

The mussels are the best I have tasted - ever - and great value for money. The lobster and dressed crab also amazing. Simple and very tasty. Took a cool bag and brought home some cooked lobster (fab) and scallops (oh my god how fresh...

Baracchina sul porto che offre pesce fresco. Ottime le ostriche che sono enormi rispetto a quelle che si trovano in...

Abbiamo deciso di fare uno spuntino con una dozzina di ostriche e un piatto di cozze...ottime e a costi contenuti...

A hut in the harbour with great fresh seafood. No comforts, no frills, no amenities, but great oysters, mussels, langoustines, etc. At prices not seen in any major european city. The place to go for seafood lovers in the area!!!

The prawn sandwiches are as always the best, but insistence on paying by cash for anything under £20 is irritating and inconvenient for customers and staff alike. Nobody has cash in these post-Covid days, so please get up to speed!

Dimenticate i fronzoli e i tavoli apparecchiati: qui è tutto alla buona ma di qualità e freschezza ottimi. Lo raggiungete...

My wife has just said that the scallops are the best she’s ever had. Friendly service and a ‘must try’ if you’re ever in Oban

Eating fresh seafood alongside the waters it came from a short while earlier. What could be better! Great lunch. Always a must when in Oban.

Visit family in oban quite a lot & this is place is amazing if you like your seafood all fresh of the boats & made within a couple of hours but you must be quick as this is a very bizzy we hut .

Can’t recommend. This place highly enough excellent fresh seafood straight off the boat was a hard choice but had the seafood Platter at £23 was a bargain lovely and fresh will definitely be back for the prawn sandwich

if you like sea food this place is a must. The selection is huge and the mussels are cooked in front of you. I always go here when in Oban. I highly recommend.

Best seafood ever - and great prices to boot My wife and I are from Australia - we dont have seafood of this quality in Australia A delight

What an amazing experience. Huge queue when we arrived but were handed a small pot of mussels to keep us occupied whilst we were waiting. We had the fish platter for two which was out of this world. We sat on the dock wall in...

The seafood is fresh and simply prepared. It is clearly a favourite in the area given the queues. We had a mixed platter for two with a lobster. It was rather large for two people, and the first time we had a seafood feast in...

This really is the best place to enjoy the freshest seafood in Oban - or anywhere as far as I can remember. The seafood is ridiculously cheap . Oysters really big n juicy . We went there straight there from leaving the ferry . Granted...
