Loch Fyne Restaurant & Oyster Bar

With beginnings in the 1970s as an oyster farm, this restaurant, deli shop, smokehouse and farm offers top quality Scottish seafood and more.

The 2017 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

Knowledge, flair and expertise are the hallmarks of this truly remarkable operation whose passion for fresh sustainable seafood is written into every line of the business plan. Based in a former barn on Clachan Farm just off the A83 at the head of Loch Fyne, Oyster Bar can personally vouch for its sources since it seeds, feeds, catches, processes and cooks much of the diverse menu on offer. Oysters, mussels and shellfish come from the crystal waters of the loch while white fish are landed by specially chosen small boats in Cornwall. Enthusiasm for quality also extends to the kitchen and the restaurant is rewarded by being continually busy all year round.

• High point: Seriously good cooking and sourcing
• Low point: Parking area a bit shabby
