Launched in 2016 by friends Kirsty and Fenella, keen to make use of the bountiful catch coming in from local boats and largely leaving Ullapool, this casual seasonal joint with a handful of outdoor tables offers “everything you want from a seafood shack” – namely, “the freshest, most delicious seafood” (served straight up, or in delectable wraps) plus “the most spectacular of views” of the hills and Loch Broom. The pair are now the proud authors of a cookbook offering simple fish-centric cookery, and the wider site has spawned a pop-up bar selling gins, to add to the joys.

“Outstanding!” – the name doesn’t lie regarding Kirsty Scobie & Fenella Renwick’s straightforward street-food style operation serving yummy crab claws, fish wraps and other simple bites from the daily catch, advertised via a blackboard menu.

Established five years ago to keep some of the wonderful fish and shellfish landed at Ullapool in the village, Kirsty & Fenella’s simple, seasonal (April to October) shack serves up “delicious” plates of the daily catch, from a blackboard menu.

For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
