The Seafood Shack in Highland

The fish is really good and fresh.

Very cosy place with soooo tasty food, we had haddock wrap,smoked trout salad and soup, everything was delicious for very reasonable price,one day will definitely return,highly recommend.

Very tasty food, the tempura battered haddock wrap is simply amazing! For the complainers in previous comments, I'd like to point out that this is a snack bar, and you're supposed to expect something light to eat here. But the Hartog Rap was a real hit as a lunchtime snack. Everything seems very fresh, and the location is also very nice. P.S.: Of course, they don't serve shandy here. We brought that with us.

What a find!!!..on recommendation along the NC500.Visited today with hubby and our Lab. Had oysters. Best I've had and so fresh I think the oysters swam there themselves. Owner (friendly Irishman) and the 'boss'..gave us a brief history of the place and how they came to be there and how the oysters were seeded and farmed. Only criticism is we will be moving on too soon to come back.

Superb. Probably the best Scallops I’ve ever had and the hot smoked Trout was very good too. Lovely atmosphere, the sun probably helps with that. Loved the little gin hut too with local gin and beers

Fabulous fresh fish, lovely presentation - great spot for some great food

Food was beautiful, all aspects of it. They had smoked trout with salad and potato salad on the menu when I went and that is what I had. All three items were delicious the salad dressing was the best and the trout was so tasty. You can tell it’s all fresh food. Wish I lived nearer so I could have it again.

There is a lot of hype around this place, and it is well deserved. There is never not a line, but its totally worth the wait. The food is super fresh and made right in front of you.

Ive tried good number of sea food places and tks one certainly ranks high up there... fresh local produce with the best recipes making a perfect meal tantalising your taste buds... we tried the haddock wrap.taster box and langoustines..... what can i say except just perfect... also the quality for the price is a good deal for those who want to taste class with a budget... would definitely recommend a trip... only gripe being the seating area could be bigger... but on a positive side we were served at 4.30 pm on a Sunday...Bon apetite

The food was delicious and the service was great, the staff were accommodating and helpful. Seriously, the scallops were incredible! Oh and the gin was excellent 🤓

This adorable little shack packs a big punch. We had the cullen skink, the haddock wrap, and the smoked trout. They were all wonderful but the trout was a standout. Everything was extremely fresh. The outdoor seating was perfect on a beautiful weather day like today. This is definitely worth the stop.

Incredible lobster if the weather is right

Food was too good. We had a battered tempura wrap and spicy fish soup. They both were really tasty and would definitely recommend.

used to be busy in recent years and now mostly empty as prices have gone up across the board. Walked away.

The haddock wrap was amazing. We were lucky and had a sunny day and ate in the courtyard. Food was ready quickly and as good as everyone said it would be. Highly recommend!!

Beautifull food and drink and excellent staff highly recommend

Amazing food. Fast, friendly service. Lovely pop up with gins and bottled beers next to it.

Had the haddock wrap which was massive and delicious! Defo get your money worth. Great little seating area and right next to the ferry parking which is ideal.

If you want nice sea food, simply come here. They do what they do very well and well priced for such good quality. There is a nice area to sit out and enjoy the moment too

Bought some oysters £2 each, but they were so small…

Not much to say, just go there. 3/5 days and missed 2 due to the bloody boiler..... This is in the list along with Loch Leven seafood and Applecross Inn.

Seafood Shack – Fresh, Flavourful, and Full of Charm Seafood Shack in Ullapool is a real gem — the food is absolutely lovely, with generous portions and everything tasting super fresh and full of flavour. You can really tell it’s all made with care, and it’s exactly the kind of hearty, satisfying meal you crave when you’re up in the Highlands. The ladies serving were so pleasant and welcoming, adding to the whole feel-good experience. My only wish is that there was a bit more cover — because even in classic Scottish weather (rain, wind, cold!), I still want to enjoy their food, but it’s tricky when you’ve nowhere to shelter. Still, 100% worth a visit. If you're passing through Ullapool, don’t miss it — just bring a jacket or a brolly and go for it!

If you visit Ullapool and you don't go there, you'll be missing out! The Tempura Battered Haddock Wrap is absolutely divine!! I am definitely not a fish and chips person; this wrap has changed my mind! Great service from all personnel, all-in-all a great experience.

A must visit in Ullapool. The haddock wrap was to die for!

Was expecting good food and was surprised by amazing food! 🤩 The quality of the produce, preparation and flavours are better than in many seafood restaurants I've been to recently.

Staff were friendly and the food was delicious - we had cullen skink and oysters. The setting was nice in a small outdoor garden. Good for a quick takeaway style lunch.

Sensational!!!!It was super tasty and the staff was very friendly :o) A must if you drive past here.

A very friendly and friendly outdoor space, excellent dish and very generous portion. I highly recommend the haddock wrap.

Absolutely top.....great atmosphere, great service and very, very tasty food. We'll go there again tomorrow. THANKS!!!

Delicious seafood. A must visit if you are near Ullapool, take away food van with a small selection of tables. We had Haddock wrap, Hot smoked trout, Mackrel pate, Langoustines and Mussels. Every dish was so fresh tasty and plentiful all cooked to order so be prepared to wait. Definitely return when in the area

We came for the start of the 2025 season and had the haddock wraps. This place was highly recommended to us and as we were in the Highlands this spring we decided to give it a visit. It did not disappoint. It's set in a small courtyard with a festival style shack and covered and uncovered tables. The prices are reasonable and the service was quick. The wraps were brilliant. The fish wasn't too battered or fried and there was plenty of it within the wrap alongside salad and the sauce (a pesto mayo type of thing, I can't quite remember). It was a perfect size serving before a great walk. Next time we're in Ullapool we will come back!

Haddock wrap 10 out of 10 Cullen skink delicious definitely be back highly recommend visiting here best takeaway food ive had in years

Great place, everything is very good, From Cullen Skink to Fish And Chips! We loved it

Amazing oyster, lobser, fish & chippies

A very simple place, a small courtyard with a counter where you order and a few tables to sit at. Very quiet and comfortable despite the cold in August, wonderful experience. I still dream about the rolled piadina with a huge piece of haddock inside at night.

We were really pleased to have our dinner here as we missed out on a previous visit to Ullapool. The wraps were delicious-really light batter and just the right amount of salad but we all felt that there was a bit too much mayonnaise in the wraps and this collected at the bottom! The lobster was delicious. It wasn't the best of weather but the rain held off and we had a lovely view over Ullapool as we ate. Highly recommended!

We had the Haddock wrap which was delicious. Must be one of many best views off Scotland.

Delicious sea food! A real treat as part of our NC500 trip. I had the soup - Sooooo delicious, huge portion Also the sweet cured herring. Fab potato salad and again good portion My sons had the fishcake and the scallops Also delicious! Go there!

Amazing food, it's a simple as that. If you like seafood, this is paradise. If you don't, it will change your mind forever.

Passing through Ullapool on a road trip and had read the reviews - so thought I would give it a go. Fortunately the torrential rain let up and a warm sun came out and made it possible to sit outside. I had Oysters (fresh, lovely and tasty) and a Haddock wrap. The fish was as fresh as could be and very large; and the tempura batter near perfect. I couldn't manage it all - (and I am a big man with an appetite to match!) - so saved some for later. Lovely food - and just wish I didn't live hundreds of miles away. Hope to be back next year.

Been coming here for years and alwasy been great quality food but lately I had oysters and ended up with severe food poisoning. That’s the risk from eating raw oysters tho. Only takes the one time to accidentally pick up a bad one and serve it to a customer. Will be back just will be avoiding the oysters from now on

Went here on a recommendation, and well worth it. Lovely little set up around what is basically a good van. Choices were based on what they've got from the local fisherman. We chose the crab claws, smoked trout and battered haddock wrap. All 3 were excellent - not just the sea food but the high quality of the accompanying salads which were well made, fresh and flavourful. It also has a pop up Gin & Tonic bar on the edge of the seated area. Bonus! Top recommendation

Easily the best seafood I've eaten in a long while. If not all, the scallops were THE best scallops I've ever tried. Portions are generous and the quality is unparalleled. Worth the price. The warm gin cocktail complemented the food perfectly.

The seafood taster was absolutely perfect. Everything from here is absolutely delicious and I'd go every day if I could. The service is pretty quick and the staff are lovely.

We had callen skink soup and haddock wrap today. Very satisfying, great quality of food and tasty. Worth for money. 👍👍

Always interesting food Always fish and good etc Super efficient kitchen Lovely ladies cooking Very very popular BARGAIN WOW Take away or eat in open beneath parasol And we are over 80 !

An incredible place to stop for lunch or dinner on the NC500. The oysters and the seafood soup were from another planet.

Delicious spicy fish soup, smoked haddock hash and smoked trout salad

So pleased I choose to eat here. Had a Haddock Wrap. No overly priced and tasted great. The place was busy and had covered seating areas. That's what it is a "shack!" I'm not sure from the poor comments what people actually want? Fresh fish eaten in the outdoors.... what ever next? Keep up the good work. Recommended, Fish Lovers!!

Excellent gastronomic break! Meaty oysters, buttered langoustines, soup to die for, and what about tempura fish?

I had one of the best meals of my life here, waiting for the ferry! Delicious scallops, rice and salad.

Good god this place is a wonderful find!! Fresh fish and seafood cooked to order - what more could anyone want? A hot gin?? Yep, they have those too! My friend had the tempura haddock wrap and I had the hand-dived scallops, chorizo, rice and salad. Both were incredible. You can taste how fresh they are. Another lady had the crab and said ‘I could eat that all again’. There is also a gin shack which was serving gin with hot apple and it was delicious. Perfect for a cold, rainy day in Ullapool.

Locally sourced seafood, pretty spot and yummy fish tacos. Everything was amazing so glad we stopped here for lunch on our road trip.

Absolutely amazing, gorgeous food and excellent service, would highly recommend and shall definitely be returning

We visited for lunch and the long queue before opening was indicative of the popularity of this place. There were a range of options available, however the seafood platter contained a bit of everything, from langoustines, oysters, herring, trout and salad. Fresh, good value and the service was quick.

Absolutely delicious food. Made the little stop in ullapool that bit better!

This is banging 👌🏼food is amazing , 2 haddock wraps and oysters ❤️ atmosphere is great , chilled music , different people from around the world (different accents ) 👌🏼

This was a must visit place on my tour of the Nc500. Did not disappoint

Visited here last weekend. Really great place, good atmosphere. Food was really nice, lovely langoustines. We also had a haddock wrap which was nice and Cullen skink soup, also nice

The taster dish was superb - langoustines, herring, oyster, smoked trout, a bit of nearly everything. Don't forget to pick up a napkin - it can get messy and wooden knives are laudable, they don't cut very well. My wife had the haddock wrap which was substantial and nearly too much.

Fantastic “takeaway” in the middle of Ullapool, with the freshest fish you can imagine in this seaside town. The kitchen conjures up incredibly tasty, creative dishes from the fishermen's catches (catch of the day). Real taste explosions! As already mentioned, it is a snack bar and therefore self-service. But this is easily compensated for by the quality of the food and the nice surroundings.

The freshest fish you’ll eat in a tortilla wrap, generously portioned. We completed the NC500 with a delicious finish at the Seafood Shack.

Very good quality seafood! Friendly staff and cosy ambiente 👌🏽

We had a beautiful meal at the Seafood Shack Ullapool……the venue serves what the local fishermen catch daily and only till sold out so best get there early 😋. The Seafood Shack is very popular with both locals and visitors with no bookings only walk up so sometimes you may have to wait for a seat. People were very friendly and offered to share their tables on a very busy afternoon. We enjoyed some beautiful fresh local seafood tasting bowls, haddock wraps, langoustines etc & everything was delicious & no wonder the Shack is so popular 💕. Would highly recommend if visiting Ullapool and would definitely go again 😋 Also there is a separate venue serving local gin cocktails, beer, cider, soft drinks etc which was lovely & worth a try 😊

Lovely place, lovely vibe, great food. Ladies, thank you for feeding a hungry weary traveller.

Number 1 seafood place in Scotland, no doubts and the main reason to stop in Ullapool. Don't ask questions, just go there, you won't regret.

Love going to this place, food is always excellent but only two stars this time because I picked the mackerel and had difficulty finding it amongst the potatoes and salad. Two tiny tail ends of fillet, should have gone for the langoustines. Oh well there's always the next time!

Great and fresh seafood for a very good price. Really recommend.

Just Brilliant stunning food as we’d hoped for! Dog friendly too!

The food was very fresh and well prepared. Probably the best sea food stop in Ullapool!

The perfect lunchtime stop I had the seafood platter and it was lovely but be prepared to be messy,my wife had the rap and it was absolutely fantastic I sort of wished I had that. Definitely worth going

A delicious and generous breaded haddock wrap!

A taste explosion that will be hard to replicate! Had the seafood wrap that was a meal within itself, the batter on the fish was so crispy, tasty and like nothing I’ve had before. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again. Staff were brilliant, very friendly ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Lovely helpful staff. I've got a sulphite allergy and intolerance to dairy and wheat. The lady very kindly checked all the ingredients and made me a very tasty meal despite my numerous requests. Thank you.

The spicey fish soup is quite possibly one of the best soups I've ever had. That with the Seafood Taster = chefs kiss.

Delicious food! Can’t recommend it enough!

This is possibly the best place for lunch in Ullapool while waiting for the ferry. It is outdoor seating so be ready for that. On the property is a stand where you can purchase drinks made with locally produced gin. Everything is fresh and the helpings are huge. My wife and I definitely should have ordered one haddock wrap and it would have been more than sufficient. It is a popular place so you might have to wait a bit but if you’re just enjoying the afternoon, it’s worth it.

Love the food and the relaxed vibe! Phenomenal haddock wrap.

This is one of the very best places we’ve eaten at on the NC500 - really delicious and fresh seafood with a great little menu. Also a tiny little pop up bar selling gins to enjoy. We would definitely recommend!!

Superb seafood, street food style. All freshly cooked by fast and friendly service. You can’t book ahead - just turn up and take your chances.

Food look gorgeous but only had a drink

This was the best Fish & Chips we could find in Scotland. The atmosphere is the one of a lounge bar. You can find a dry place under the tent but a sunny day is a better fit. Anyway it is for take away so you can also enjoy it while having a walk at the harbor.

Absolutely exceptional place where you can enjoy excellent dishes of the catch of the day, in an environment without too many pretensions. In fact the tables are outdoors but the nice thing is that you sit together with local people, having great chats while enjoying fabulous dishes. My wife had dinner (if dinner at 5pm can be called such) with a dish based on raw scampi, oysters, molluscs, marinated herring, while I enjoyed an excellent Cullen Skink. I highly recommend. ps) it closes at 7.30pm so don't wait until the last minute to get in line.

Don't be afraid of the queue that there may be, the service is really fast and the wait is not long! It was really very good and very fresh. The menu changes depending on the catch of the day I think and they adapt their recipe to allergies when ordering. There are half a dozen tables for 8 small people (4 people tend to sit there). Don't hesitate to share your table to meet other happy travelers. We had the breaded haddock wrap, a revisited fish and chips, excellent, and smoked trout, a little dry but still very good.

We came across them by chance, nice garden. The biggest wrap (£13) I've ever seen, we ate two of it. I definitely recommend visiting.

We had the wraps - a lot of fish for the money and very tasty. However, plan on waiting and we also had limited seats.

Tasteful,fresh seafood for good prices ,my favorite were the langustines

A wonderful spot to have a quick bite along the NC500 route, highly recommend the haddock wrap!

If you are in Ullapool you can’t miss the Seafood Shack. Their sea food is delicious and the soups are to die for.

Lovely little place, super friendly staff and fast service. Really good seafood, would recommend.

I don't rate this place as a restaurant but as a snack bar. The food is fantastic and the staff is very friendly.

Very simple place in the center of Ullapool. Excellent fish-based food to be enjoyed in sharing.

The dishes are excellent. The eating space is not very large but if you don't go during peak times it's easy to find a table.

It may have been raining but the vibes and food at Seafood Shack were warm, engaging and. Fresh, tasty tasty tasty! The mellow and skillful live accordion drew us in and the prices and portions were good- Such a relief to experience reasonable value whilst on an incredibly overpriced NC500 route! Fabulous alcoholic AND non alcoholic drinks available from the gin bar/seafood shack. Maybe could've done with a little more seated rain cover but we managed just fine.

Absolutely excellent food! Highly recommend. Only downside was that their tent didn't cover all the tables/benches and it was raining, so it made it a tiny bit harder to enjoy. But EVEN SO, totally with it and delicious

They have a small menu and do not offer fish and chips, but they have an AMAZING fish wrap thats outstanding. There is a thick piece of fish with very crunchy, flavorful batter in a soft fully wrap with some salad and zingy sauce. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food!! Really enjoyed it here

A wonderful selection of fresh seafood!

Excellent food truck with cooked and local seafood products. The menu changes from one day to the next depending on arrivals. We enjoyed the haddock and mackerel.

We order at the bar and they call us when it's ready. Delicious seafood and great atmosphere, with live music or DJ. It's outdoors.
