MacGillivrays Seafood - Oban

Andy H.

Had the mussels for £15, scallops for £15 and seafood salad for £5, mussels were maybe slightly expensive, but scallops were massive, good value, although could have been cooked longer. We asked for that and they put them back on the grill for a bit. The whole quayside is a bit touristy, and we did have a look at the green shack nearby but it was too busy, also £18 for most stuff. Nice place to sit if the weather is good.

£15 for haddock n chips!! Both tasted like they were frozen. Fish wasn’t even battered, just breaded. OMG the peas! They looked like they’d were tinned and been left on boil all day.. very blanched.
Staff- so rude! I witnessed multiple customers politely ask reasonable questions and the miserable young girl just points to where the sauce is or at the limited selection of drink.
I thought we’d treat ourselves but regret spending so much and wish I’d have gone nextdoor to Wetherspoons as the food would have been of equal quality, if not better and cost less than half as much!

We should have read the reviews prior to ordering but they had tables right on the harbour so we thought it'll be great. Dry fish and tasteless langastines and package tartar sauce. Overall an awful meal😵‍💫😵‍💫

Great food, and super fresh. We saw the langoustines coming off the boat and going into the pot. They were really good, the muscles went down well too and the fish and chips were lovely too

So this was the first haddock and chips from Ireland's hake and the Isle of Man's cod. I personally prefer haddock. Absolutely great meal, Oban itself was particularly busy with tourists from all over. Starters of prawns and salmon three ways, followed by the fish and chips and moules marinare.

The seafood here was amazing. We got a plate of the scallops and a plate of the muscles. The portions on each were generous. They were both very tasty and the sauce went perfectly with the seafood and with the rest being deliciously sopped up by the generous portion of buttered bread.

We came back here today and we were really disappointed with the lingoustine. We were charged £34.00 without drinks. Ridiculously expensive! It doesn't look like the lingoustine we had last summer. The man was friendly enough not the women staff are not. We are not coming back here.

We will try local shellfish just 5 yards up the stall next week. Local shellfish are definitely so much cheaper and the queue were really long so that was a good sign.

Disappointing. More expensive than near Edinburgh, smaller portion and mushy peas rather than garden peas. Poorly filleted fish, see pic of bones. Handy if you've just got off the train but for a 5 minute walk round the harbour there's far tastier options to sit in or take away. A generous 3. Also look around you, loads of shops and services nearby have bilingual.signage. why not you?
