The Scallop Shack - Eilean Siar

Wowsers never had scallops that tasted this good! We drove down to The Scallop Shack on our way out to visit the Calabria stones. We ordered scallops to collect later (they had been caught 45 minutes before we arrived). Open 24/7 with an honesty box what’s not to love!

Weird road out to the Scallop Shack and easy to miss the turn off, so keep your eyes peeled. The Scallops are not cheap but they are very memorable. I had them with a bun and salad. Basic chairs and tables outside a shed so no points for fancy.

If you want the best scallops you've ever had, this is the place. You do need to know, however, that it is exactly what it's name suggests. It's a shack on a pier that sells the tastiest, freshest scallops you'll ever have and you eat them out in the open. From shell to bun, with optional local black pudding and/or bacon side, in under ten minutes is what it's all about and all four of us thought they were the tastiest and best value scallops we'd ever had. You can also get them equally fresh to take away and cook yourself. Brilliant!

This place is definitely worth a visit! The scallops were lovely and fresh and the honesty box is heart warming. There are two fridges. One for pre-orders and another stocked with a variety of scallops and oysters. Would recommend doing the nearby circular scenic drive to Kneep Beach. Such a stunning beach!

A selfservice honesty box shop for VERY fresh seafood! scallops mainly but not exclusively walk in and have a look! a place to visit while around!!!!
