Oban Seafood Hut in Argyll & Bute

A local friend has been going there forever. I wasn’t disappointed. Seafood was soooo fresh.

No card payments in 2025 is ludicrous. Saying they don’t have WiFi is even more ridiculous when there is full 5G on the pier instead. Must not like tourist money!

The best sea food canteen! Everything was so fresh and tasty .I will highly recommend to anyone who will visit Oban .You can eat crab or lobster sandwich also there is a plate for 2 with Lobster , langoustines , oyster , mussels , prawns , smoked salmon only for 48 £ .

WONDERFUL ! Fresh, authentic, local, Price OK 10/10

We had fresh Oysters and a yummy crab sandwich. If we had stayed longer, we would have tried everything. The fast and efficient market vendor vibe might not be to everyone's taste, but the food is absolutely amazing and worth a visit.

Super fresh and delicious food. There was a long line, but it moved quite quickly. Cash only.

A bit hesitant when I heard it described as an Instagram spot, but it's truly delicious. Oysters, scallops, mussels, salmon... Delicious Note that it's a shellfish spot, not fish

We went for the biggest seafood platter « Grand Platter » — and it was pure joy. Perfect for 2 people. And oysters too. You eat outside, standing up, and it’s absolutely worth it. Just a wonderful place to enjoy incredibly fresh and delicious seafood. Unforgettable!

Typical seafood stall. Mussels cooked to order. Very good quality of products. Warm welcome.

Great quality at the cheapest prices!

Real local spot with incredible fresh seafood for a very fair price - best mussels and langoustine I ever had.

the best Seafood Restaurant in Oban Town! the Must to come & try if you visiting OBAN :) p.s. Don’t forget to try Scallop, Mussles, Crab, and Prawn

This is the place to eat seafood especially if you are in a hurry. Ready made seafood sandwiches, mussels are always on the go, in fact we were offered free tubs of half a dozen cooked mussels while we waited in the queue to place our order. We had scallops and langoustines meals with salad and dips. We were given a chitty with the order. We managed to find seats and the food was brought out to us when ready. We were at a table underneath the canvas shelter. So basically outside. We bought drinks too. Extra fresh and lots to eat. Fabulous.

Great price and literally Fresh food. You gotta do this!!!!!!

Lovely harbour street seafood, the lady at the counter was kind and helpful. This is what I call a real fresh and crispy seafood place! Highly recommend.

Stopped at the Oban Seafood Hut to have the garlic butter scallops. They were served on a bed of lettuce leaves with fresh bread to soak up the extra garlic butter sauce. They were some of the vest scallops I’ve had and I was able to enjoy them standing outside staring out at islands and boats on the water. There was a steady stream of people but the service was fast and friendly.

A nice experience, fresh fish directly on the port can be eaten in the company of other customers at the same large table

Truly incredible place with the freshest seafood I've ever tasted. Very good value also and prime location literally facing the sea. Amazing place to enjoy any type of seafood, and with a lovely staff cleaning and delivering the orders. Perfect

Fresh, delicious, authentic. Go get it.

Just had the seafood platter, WOW, can still taste the sea. Amazing, what a find and we will be back when next on our travels. Thank you, deeeeelicious.

Nice fish stall with delicious food. Crab salad on bread was very tasty and more than enough.

A must do when we’re in Oban. Always a crowd tucking in to the freshest seafood. Our must haves are mussels cooked in garlic and wine before your eyes and oysters. Staff are so friendly, prices are good and the atmosphere brilliant.

Amazing Giant platter option for only 48gbp, all fresh shell fish includes, crabs, prawns, lobster, mussels, Salmon. They offer unlimited sauce, lemon and fast serve!

Extremely disappointing crab sandwich, unfortunately. Don’t know what the ‘sauce’ was but nothing like the crab sandwich we make from crab bought in Plymouth.

They do excellent seafood sandwiches!!

Yummy! A great Scottish experience.

This place is a must do, if you go to Oman! So yummy and real

Good food, seats and tables rare, prices okay,

Eat scallops. You won't regret it. Bring cash.

Fresh seafood, good value. Good energy. Even somewhere to wash your hands. Cash only, but ATM 5 min walk away.

Oban in the sunshine and delicious sea food.This is the stuff that dreams are made of! What a gem of a place. We shared a seafood platter between 3, huge, generous portion! We also got a smoked salmon sandwich for one of our party. Again, packed with delicious smoked salmon. Thank you so much!

First visit to the hut, despite being in Oban several times. Seafood lovers after fresh produce at reasonable prices this is the place for you. King Scallops for £15.95 was a steal. The hut has a good system in place re ordering and getting the food. Scallops were delicious. Definitely be back on our next visit to Oban.

I had a crab sandwich and the mussels. The mussels were spectacular but I don't know if I really liked the sandwich. However, I recommend eating there since the product is fresh, the people are very friendly and it is not expensive at all. I had a crab sandwich and mussels. The mussels were amazing, but I'm not sure I completely liked the sandwich. However, I do recommend eating there because the ingredients are fresh, the staff is very friendly, and it's not expensive at all.

10/10- the freshest fish! Get the mussels. Will not disappoint. Servings are HUGE. Be aware it’s cash only though. ATM close by though.

Incredible experience, so much kindness and love for seafood !! Mussels are awesome thank you some much for this meal from little Brittany !! This is the place to eat !!

Enormous portion of delicious mussels. Huge, beautifully fresh oysters. Didn’t enjoy the squid in chilli jam.Excellent cup of tea. A very sensible price. If only the sun had been shining!

Very special place for the freshest ever seafood, brilliant food.

I remembered that I've had so much food that was definitely enough for at least 5 people. really fresh and sweet seafood!

Came during September 2024 - great mussels, great smoked salmon sandwich, and great prices. One of the highlights of our Scotland trip! Note - cash only!

We got in a stop here during our 2015 visit. My travelling companion had to find this place due to having had seafood on the dock some 20 years previous. This was the first time I had ever tried Langoustines (with the head still attached). This culinary expedition might be for some. Needless to say, all the food was very very fresh..

Delightful little seafood hut, doing fresh local produce at decent, good value prices - what could be better! Hot food such as mussels and scallops probably slightly better than the cold platter but that's a trifling detail. I would strongly recommend, that if in Oban, that you give this place a go - just remember it's more a takeaway/eat on the quayside set up rather than a sit down restaurant. Sets the standard for seaside seafood across the UK - it's going to be hard to find better!

So glad we stopped here on our drive through the area, so many amazing seafood options to try! We had the tub of mussels, delicious! Highly recommend!

I am very sorry that I have not eaten, but I am here to comment, but I would like to know whether you will be open between December 28 and 30 this year? I really want to taste delicious seafood, but I am very afraid that you will not open.

On November 9, I was in Oban and wanted to try the local specialty, but unfortunately the booth was closed and the information on the Internet was incorrect that it was open. Unfortunately, I can't say whether it was good today. I do not recommend!!!

Perfect oister and crab food at low prices in an unbeatable Scottish atmosphere. Our friend described it as follows: It's cold you are standing in the rain and the dog is chasing seabirds while you are trying to eat. What more can you expect ? I loved it.

If you like seafood, Just go. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely go there. Fast and friendly, they prepare the catch of the day on the spot. The value for money is incredible, in fact, in my opinion it is cheap for the quantity and quality they offer. Not to be missed

Fresh seafood at a good price. The service is fast and you can eat it right there at the tables they have.

Sea fish is delicious and very fresh great value

Delicious seafood enjoyed everything we tried. Will come back soon 😊

Great snack while you wait for the ferry ❤️

Insane amount of food and all fresh and incredible!

The place you must visit for Scotland seafood. Cheap price with fast services and most important fresh seafoods. Although a long queue there, it’s still fast to order. No need photos for this hut. If you are going to Oban for seafoods, this is the one you can’t miss.

The best deal on smoked salmon sandwiches SO delicious and my friend had the mussels which were a great price and delicious. Fun place at the Oban pier. You eat outside on a bench Lovely people work there

Mussels in the white wine and garlic were to die for. I came up from Edinburgh for a day trip simply to demolish these mussels before the shack shut for the winter.

Food was lovely, I have enjoyed it. Nice service as well. Reasonable prices

Yes. It's a shack. No toilets, but you can find them in the ferry terminal next door. The scots do not like sharing their toilets. The oysters were huge. A dozen is too much for one person. The mussels looked good, but we had no room after oysters. They do not believe in cocktail sauce, so bring your own and your own wine too. You probably will be standing at a grubby table. But still a worthwhile experience. They close around 530p.

My favorite type of seafood place! Fresh, right off the boat . Oysters were amazing!

Wow. Value unbelievable. Some of the best seafood I've ever had. If you're in Oban.... Come here!

Enjoy delicious seafood while looking out at the ocean.

Largest prawn sandwiches known to man were consumed here. Add Tabasco, then we're talking...

Fantastic, Just Fantastic, Highly recommend if your in Oban

Five people ordered two platters for two and ten oysters and were super satisfied! The portions were big enough for all of us to eat (even take some away) and well worth a try! Because we ordered a lot, many other tourists eating around us were taking pictures of our meals hahahaha!

Incredible sea food and incredible service. Worth driving 2 hours from Glasgow!

My wife and I had the giant seafood platter, which a superb collection of fresh seafood, from lobster, crab, langoustines, squid, scallops mussels and more. Its not cheap, but as an occasional treat of seafood it can't be beaten.

Just fab! Will definitely go back!

Every seafood is delicious, fresh, and the service is very good. You must eat oysters, scallops, and mussels.

Good value and great food. Really generous portions and with a lovely view over Oban harbour.

seafood fresh and delicious for prices to dream of! right next to the pier!

What a delight brilliant sea food large potions excellent cooked in front of you mussels. Razor class in hot garlic butter. The best sea food place I have ever visited tried nearly all food in a week and not one thing bad to say a must if you visit Oban.

We come to this seafood hut every time we visit Oban. The seafood is amazing and fresh and the staff are friendly. This time we tried some oysters which were sweet and creamy. We also ordered a salmon sandwich, a shared plate and garlic razor clams. They were all very delicious and fresh. It is definitely our favourite seafood shack in Scotland.

This was the best food I had in Scotland. The prices were unbeatable but that did not detract at all from the quality. The service was fast even though there was a big line and the workers were so friendly. There is limited seating so you may have to eat standing up but it is worth it. The highlight for me was the steamed muscles. They were so perfectly cooked and tender. The lemon butter sauce for the scallops were also so great as well. There cold sandwiches are probably the best deal for so much fresh seafood for around 5 pounds.

"If you love seafood, this is the best" - father-in-law. Our family has travelled around the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and tried seafood platters everywhere. The platter for two at the Oban Seafood Hut is the best seafood experience we have had. Highly recommended.

An experience right at the harbor... Prices are really OK for a tourist hotspot.

Fresh seafood, but could be more adventurous with the flavours or what's offered. Good considering it's made in a wee shack, could have the same in a sit down restaurant and be none the wiser. Outdoor seating but limited, especially when busy. So consider it an eat on the go or eat standing service.

Wow the best place for Mussels Huge size Good price

A no frills just good fresh seafood stall with limited benches by the side. Portions are very generous. We had the prawn sandwich, mussels, oysters and the razor clams. All so fantastic!

A rustic seafood snack bar. To our surprise it was very crowded. Getting a “place” requires patience and time. The food on offer is really tasty, fresh and relatively cheap. I was full from the portion of mussels. My partner had a crab sanswhich and we were struggling to manage it all. Definitely an “experience”.

Decided to try this based on reviews while we were in Oban. It’s OK. Seafood/street food fresh from the boat. A bit over priced. Scallops a little overcooked and little white wine taste to the mussels. Seating provided but could be better configured. Sorry to be a bit negative but other reviews seem to escalate this as the place to go. It’s quirky, that’s about it.

This is where you want to get seafood. Fresh from the fishing boats parked out front, friendly staff, cook the muscles beside the queue, and great value!

Wish I had gone with more of an appitite. Had the best prawn sandwich ever and the rest of the food looked amazing. All fresh and cooked to order. Worth seeking out.

Amazing experience. Large variety of seafood. Affordable price. Oyster 1.5£ Mussels 5.95£

I had been looking forward to visiting Seafood Hut on our visit to Oban. We ordered the Smoked Salmon Sandwich, Fresh Mussels and the Seafood Platter with lobster for 2. The mussels were great, fresh and cooked well, Sandwich tasted good. Genuinely disappointed with the platter. The Scallops were good, an awful lot of mussels and only a few claws and langoustine. My main concern was the lobster which wasn’t fresh and the tail was soggy and mushy. Based on the platter my rating would have been 2 stars, however the mussels and sandwich were of good quality as were the scallops.

What can I say..... Special. Very rustic self service with table for eating. It reminded me of eating the fishing boats that arrived at the port with fresh fish

It doesn't matter that there is usually nowhere to eat, what matters is what you eat. Great food, casual, served for scouts, great taste, divine. Lord, more places like this.

Sea side shack that serves DELICIOUS and fresh sea food. Highly recommend the scallops and mussles.

Very nice, indeed watch out for the seagulls!

Nice seafood but we could not find a space In the eating area

As soon as we arrived, we went straight to Local Shellfish. Everyone comes here following the smell of freshly cooked fish. And the oysters are so big that you can't finish them in one bite. I also really liked the lobster, and the langoustes were super!

Seafood/fast food place with freshly caught seafood. Very good, but bring your own "tools" if you want to access all the food.

Oban is like a medium-sized fishing town. Corporate processing and small family businesses dominate. We were looking for a place where local seafood has been served for a long time and with unchanged recipes. This is exactly what I was looking for! Freshly prepared mussels in white wine with garlic, oysters, lobsters, crabs, you name it. Everything is fresh. Tasty and, above all, healthy. The prices are great considering the tight pockets of tourists. Yeah. full mussels for £5.90. Oysters £1.50 each. And I showed more prices in the photo. See it and you must visit it and taste it. I will definitely come back here 👍🏼🥂

A real experience, there is no other way to describe it. Authentic and very good food. The mussels are super fresh, almost straight from the ship, freshly prepared and handed to you. The price is unbeatable (just under £6) for a really good portion. No restaurant can keep up with that. Anytime we're back in Oban! 👍🏽🏴————————————————

Very fresh, there is a daily menu with several freshly prepared hot dishes (otherwise cold dishes). If there was still fresh white bread, the experience would be perfect.

So delicious, highly recommended

Amazing seafood We had the scallops and was best I ever had!

Superb high quality and fresh seafood.

Worth the drive up from Perth on a lovely sunny day. Oysters are the best we have had - so fresh and tasty as was the prawn sandwich and crab sandwich. Can't wait to go again. Where are the oysters from? Amazing.

If you want freshest seafood of your life go here

Lovely seafood! And nice people! 😍

Lots of hype but in the end nothing particularly exciting
