This is our second time in Oban. We love this town! One of the must go to spots is The Original Green Shack! Today it was lunch. A smoked salmon sandwich, four oysters (on the half shell of course) and an order of mussels Add a coke, and it was under £20. That's a bargain. Especially with how many mussels you get! The mussels are done in butter, white wine and garlic. How is that wrong? (It ain't!). The oysters on the half shell come with lemon and there is Tabasco on the table. All you need right there. Perfect lunch. Freshest of fresh seafood. One. Annie do wrong eating here. The is a monster selection too. Lobster, crab, langoustines, squid and on and on. All fantastic! read more

We were recommended this place by a local. It was interesting - right on the pier. A bit expensive, but that's the going rate for fresh seafood. We got a plate of scallops (they were huge!) and a crab meat sandwich. I was disappointed in the crab meat sandwich - as it seemed to be minced really fine - hardly any flavor. Also, it was cash only, so we had to walk to the ATM. Not too far, though. It's a stand up and eat place - though there is one huge table if you're lucky. read more

The prawn sandwich on regular wheat bread was very good. The crab sandwich was just ok. I wouldn't get that again. They can improve on using a sandwich roll instead. Looks like a sandwich you would give your kid to take to school. Everyone seemed to order steamed mussels. Must be very good. I wouldn't know cuz I hate mussels! Also they only take cash. read more

Absolutely delicious. We shared a prawn salad sandwich, order of King Scallops (awesome) and an order of freshly cooked mussels in wine & herbs. This was the day after the storm Amy came through and it was still cold, windy and a little rainy. Warmed us up inside and out! read more

Well, we tried to order from here. It's take away only and cash only! So we did not partake! But seeing the people around eating from there, the food looked good and abundant. Maybe next time I visit Oban. read more

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. Loads of steamed mussels in the garlic sauce. Smoked salmon, a pair of scallops, loads of prawns, langoustines, crab claws, a whole lobster and so on. It is big so sharing is always great. All fresh. Also loads of seafood to order as well. While crabs and lobster. Scallops, fresh seafood sandwiches which we did pick up 6 to go. The prawns, crab and smoked salmon. It's a must try if you haven't already. Highly recommend. read more

Our innkeeper recommended this restaurant. The seafood comes directly off the boat and into the restaurant. It's literally hours from the water. You read the menu board and order at the counter. Be warned that this place only takes cash. We asked for an order of prawn tails and scallops. It took around 15 minutes to cook them. Both dishes cost £13 each. We received them on two paper plates. They substituted langoustines for my prawn tails. The langoustines tasted good, but there were only about 10 or so of these small creatures. My wife got 5 scallops. Each of us had two slices of bread, one piece of lettuce and two small pieces of tomato. We spent £26 for that. In New England USA, you can spend $10 more and get a single plate full of seafood and chips. I think we will stick with the seafood shack in our region. read more

This place is everything everybody has previously raved about. We purposely stayed in Oban so we could eat at the shack. We ended up going there twice. I'm not a huge mussel fan but these were definitely the best I've ever had. And the scallops were incredible! We enjoyed scallops on both visits. The staff were very friendly and quite helpful with our selections. If you are Oban just go. read more

Incredibly fresh seafood. A shack by the ferry, known for its shellfish. We had a lobster and scallops. Both were good and quite fresh. Prices were a little high for a shack but still a nice lunch. read more

For years I've been listening to my Mom go on about these mussels she got in France that were amazing etc etc etc blah blah blah. Well now, she's officially got a new Mussels Story, and that's the Original Green Shack. We got a serving of mussels (£3.95), and an oyster (£1), and both were so fresh and delicious at just bonkers cheap prices. It's an extremely casual setting - a shack, and a long table/bench, and another standing table. They have a small sink to wash your hands before/after, and otherwise it's just order at the counter, find a place to eat, and you're done! Our only minor complaint was that the oyster only came with a lemon wedge, and there were no other sauces to speak of, but seriously everything was so fresh, it was fantastic. read more

The oysters had more intrigue and complexity - - they really had subtle dimension of flavor - - so incredibly fresh too. The green shack is an experience all in its own, perched on the quay facing the harbor, steaming mussels coming from the kitchen, piles of seafood tempting you in the displays. Everything real here - - it's all about the seafood. And GREAT prices. Our downfall was we got there just before 6pm, ordered some oysters, and before we could order MORE oysters and those steaming mussels, they closed. Making plans to go back. read more

What a great start into Scottish fish cuisine upon arriving in lovely Oban on a sunny weekend last year! The mussels were great and they have had a street cooking type of atmosphere for them the day I visited. They were superb and the atmosphere on the wooden benches was memorable as well. The shrimp sandwich was tasty and the prices moderate. Highly recommended! The senior ladies behind the counter are really friendly too! Probably not suitable to sit there for hours but great views and conveniently situated by the harbour, ferry terminal and train station/bus station and taxi stalls whilst keeping that little cosy Scottish seaside town feeling. read more

Absolutely devilish, incredibly fresh shellfish. The oysters are ENORMOUS. The mussels are fresh and cooked in simple garlic and white wine. Everything was delicious. 20£ minimum for card (which is a drawback). read more

Fresh seafood at super cheap prices? Salmon sandwiches, crab sandwiches, and scallops in butter? Sign me up. Do not miss this place. It's not fancy but holy hell it's delicious. read more

The highlight of our Isle of Skye 3 days 2 nights stay which would otherwise be not totally remarkable. The scallops, the salmon, the mussels and above all the oysters...were out of the world! It has made the entire family of 11 standing to eat in the shed in the wind and rain worth it. The best part is the freshness of the seafood of course, but the second best part is the competitive pricing !! £80 for a seafood feast for a family of 11 big eaters and seafood lovers! Not something you can get in America! read more

YES! YES! YES! Nothing beats fresh seafood by the dock! The mussels were less than £4, delicious and melted in your mouth. Plus, the serving size was very generous. I'm glad I got to visit here at least once during my stay in Oban! read more

Worth eating early (they close at 6pm). We were visiting and only had two nights for food and decided to spend one of them at Green Shack. We didn't realize they only took cash (we should have thought ahead) so although we went there with the intention of getting the grand platter, we found out we only had enough cash on us to get the platter for 2 (basically same thing without lobster). It was plenty of food for the two of us regardless. Our American palates loved the crab claws, smoked salmon, and shrimp. The raw calamari, pickled herring, and the massive amount of mussels were a little different for us, but we enjoyed it. If we were going back we would probably order the items we liked most a la carte instead of wasting too many mussels, but we would definitely go back. The seafood is fresh and the experience eating with your hands standing up on the dock is worth eating there alone. read more

See all those mangy tourists stuffing their faces? They're doing it for a good reason: this is a true "Boat-to-table" cafe. You will NEVER get any seafood fresher than this (unless you own a boat and bring along a stove). I ordered mussels (which were fresher and more scrumptious than any I had ever had) and scallops (that had had garlic butter poured over them). Listen: it's not fancy. You eat standing up, the food is served in styrofoam. But: if you truly like seafood, do not leave town until you've dined here. read more

Exactly as advertised. Outdoors on the ferry dock, counter service, a few seats (but mostly standing) and really great inexpensive fresh local seafood. The mussels are excellent and the portion is huge. Impressive platters. Oysters. Everyone having a good meal and a good time. Definitely worth a visit. read more

It was so amazing!!! The seafood was so fresh, so many different varieties and most of all, the staffs are super friendly as well. They offered free samples of smoked salmon and mussels for us to try and we loved them both. We were going to order the platter first but decided to order what we really wanted to eat separately. We got, mussels cooked in wine with onions and garlic (served hot), scallops with garlic butter (served hot with bread and chill sauce), crab (served cold), 9 oysters and an additional smoked salmon sandwich to end this wonderful meal. We were blessed enough to not get rained on and even got a bit of sunshine. With the great view of the ocean, it was really a great joy to eat good seafood and enjoy the surrounding. Some white wine would make this meal better thought, but no complaints. Loved the crab and scallops, my fav. of the day. I would recommend this place to any of my friends who are coming to Oban!!! read more

EXCELLENT - if you love fresh seafood, don't miss this little gem. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We had an order of mussels, a cooked lobster and 8 oysters - we're in heaven! read more

The Green Shack, right on the water, offers up no-nonsense fresh seafood and sammies with lightning fast service and impossible to beat prices. I recommend the crab and prawn sammies, especially if you're a fan of rich crabmeat. The fresh mussels are great as well, and the oysters were plump and briney. For four oysters and two sammies, we paid just 12 GBP - a steal for the level of freshness! read more

The most authentic, amazing experience you can have in Scotland. Great food in a great location, overlooking the harbor. GO THERE NOW!

Super awesome seafood! Cheap and delicious. We had a salmon sandwich (tender and perfect salmon), scallops with garlic butter and mussels. Everything tasted great but the mussels won! Go here for lunch if you're in Oban! Paid around 15£ for all three dishes. read more

This is a wee outdoor seafood place, there is a lovely wooden table and benches just outside with some huge umbrellas, which were well needed today. They do seafood platters and you get LOADS of food for just a few pounds. I went for mussels in white wine and shallots, they were tender, juicy and just perfectly cooked. It was a really decent sized portion and it was £3.95, the place I had just been to which gave me microwaved mussels for 3 times the price (I had a couple and left the rest and came here instead) the platters are cold but you can get hot smoked haddock which is smoked in their own smoke house and Lovely looking prawn sandwiches and pits of mussels etc. I loved that we were outside enjoying super fresh seafood, elbow to elbow with other customers sheltering from the rain. The staff were lovely and I spotted big slabs of hot smoked salmon do fingers crossed they are open on Sunday so I can get some to take home :-). You should Really check this place out for good when you are in Oban read more

Literally stumbled upon this place while taking pics of the huge Cal-mac ferry parked at the wharf. Saw the lady cooking steamed mussels in front of the shack. She had me at hello. I got what seemed like a pound if these babies....cooked in garlic and wine for less than 4 pounds. They were so good I also ordered the smoked salmon sandwich which was beyond delish. Worth every pence. Such a cool experience! read more

This is the cutest, freshest seafood place in Oban! Well I think so =) Its on the shipping docks and all the seating is outside ( sucks for raininy days). The ships bring the seafood right in and this little place gets it ready for you! Delicious mussles cooked in white wine... 4 GPB! WHAT AMAZING! We ate like kings there loved the langoustines cooked in butter DELICIOUS!!! GREAT FRESH SEAFOOD AND WONDERFUL PRICES! Even have crab and shrimp sandwiches made up for those on the run! Been here twice now and will be here next time we are in Oban =) read more

This is the most fantastic find! We had high hopes for great seafood when we arrived in Oban. We were not disappointed. The location is out of the way so you have to know about it to find it. There were scallops, steamed mussels, smoked salmon, seafood sandwiches, and more. We got the platter for two and steamed mussels in garlic and white wine. The mussels were big and juicy! The platter was served cold with shrimp, mussels, clams, crab claws, langoustines and squid. The smoked salmon filet was the best I have ever tasted. It was perfectly smoky and buttery. Probably the best thing on the platter. All in all we only spend £18! It was a dreary, rainy day, but we were as happy as clams at high tide! One of the best meals we had in Scotland. read more

The best fresh seafood any where near here. The value is amazing! I would have paid three or four times what they asked.

The seafood was fresh but the service was quick. Jack jumped over the original green shack.

Found this gem on Yelp, what a feast of food. I couldn't decide what I wanted so I ordered the seafood feast for two, scallops and the mussels. Watching the guy cook the mussels while you waited in line added to the enjoyment and even though it was cold and windy, it was fun to eat outside with the other patrons. The portion of mussels, for just less then 4 pounds, was astounding and the seafood platter had at least 6 or 7 kinds of seafood in it, from crab, langostines, shrimp, squid, smoked salmon, tons of mussels and another kind of fish, served cold but still yummy. It's simple, reasonable and oh so good. read more

Most wonderful fresh seafood on ferry docks, couldn't say enough about the freshness of our seafood lunch. Mussels in wine, smoked salmon, scallops in garlic butter and raw oysters! Some of the best read more

This is a great, basic seafood shack. We got the seafood platter and a half-dozen oysters, both of which were fresh and excellent. The seafood platter was piled with hot smoked salmon, langoustines, mussels, and shrimp. This place is really no-frills- you order your food and eat it outside at long benches-but if you want a lot of fresh seafood for not a whole lot of money, check this place out. read more

Unbelievably fresh seafood at a very reasonable price. We had mussels in wine sauce, a crab sandwich and the seafood sampler plate...loaded with shrimp, mussels, calamari,lobster and prawns....a feast for less than 30 pounds. Extremely casual atmosphere (many ate standing up, or sitting on picnic tables) adds to the enjoyment. Only one warning: GPS will not get you there...it will get you close, but you will need to walk about a block. read more

This is the best value in town! The seafood is fresh, the service is friendly and you just cannot beat the value. The mussels are my favorite. They were cooked just right and creamy. No fuss cooking but done really well. The butter poached scallops were delicious. Don't miss this place! read more
