Welcome to Seafood Shack, an enchanting culinary haven nestled in the picturesque town of Ullapool, located at 9 W Argyle St, IV26 2TY, United Kingdom. With its charming festival-style setting, this delightful shack promises an unforgettable seafood experience, perfect for both locals and travelers alike. Whether you’re fresh off the ferry or exploring the stunning Highlands, you'll find the Seafood Shack to be a splendid stop for delectable dishes and warm hospitality.
As you step into Seafood Shack, the atmosphere is lively yet cozy, with ample seating available in a quaint courtyard. The shack has garnered rave reviews for its welcoming vibe and quick service, ensuring that you won't wait long to indulge in their mouthwatering offerings. Many patrons have praised the haddock wrap, a true highlight that features a generous portion of flaky, perfectly cooked fish wrapped with crisp salad and a tantalizing sauce, reminiscent of a creamy pesto mayo. It's no wonder that customers like Miss C and Frank Whittaker describe it as "massive and delicious"—a hearty meal that truly delivers on value.
The menu extends beyond wraps, offering treasures such as the renowned Cullen skink. This creamy Scottish chowder has received accolades for its richness and flavor, with diners noting how wonderfully it warms the soul on a chilly day. Reviewers like Silvia Bocchini and Mikka Lankford enthusiastically recount their experience of savoring the Cullen skink alongside the seafood taster and smoked trout, both of which emphasize the freshness that Seafood Shack is so well-known for.
Freshness is a consistent theme throughout the customer reviews, with many echoing the sentiment that each dish is made to order, capturing the essence of the sea with every bite. Whether you're indulging in oysters that have been hailed as the "freshest" or sharing a seafood taster platter, every selection is designed to showcase the delicate flavors of the ocean that Ullapool is lucky to have at its doorstep.
In addition to the delicious food, Seafood Shack provides a casual, outdoor seating area that allows you to enjoy your meal while soaking in the beautiful Scottish scenery. For those fortunate enough to visit on a sunny day, it’s a delightful way to savor each bite. However, as pointed out by some customers, having additional covered seating might enhance the experience on the oft-rainy Scottish days.
In summary, Seafood Shack is more than just a stop for a meal; it’s a celebration of the bounty of the sea, served with care and authenticity.

“ Had the haddock wrap which was massive and delicious! Defo get your money worth. Great little seating area and right next to the ferry parking which is ideal. ”
“ Loved this place! It was a cold raining day and we managed to find a table under the canopy and wait for our food. The queue was small and in less than 15 minutes everything was ready. We tried the haddock wrap, the Cullen skink and the seafood taster. Everything was freshly made and very good. Nice portions and very good prices. Thank you guys, everything is amazing! ”
“ We came for the start of the 2025 season and had the haddock wraps. This place was highly recommended to us and as we were in the Highlands this spring we decided to give it a visit. It did not disappoint. It's set in a small courtyard with a festival style shack and covered and uncovered tables. The prices are reasonable and the service was quick. The wraps were brilliant. The fish wasn't too battered or fried and there was plenty of it within the wrap alongside salad and the sauce (a pesto mayo type of thing, I can't quite remember). It was a perfect size serving before a great walk. Next time we're in Ullapool we will come back! ”
“ This adorable little shack packs a big punch. We had the cullen skink, the haddock wrap, and the smoked trout. They were all wonderful but the trout was a standout. Everything was extremely fresh. The outdoor seating was perfect on a beautiful weather day like today. This is definitely worth the stop. ”
“ There’s a good reason this place was recommended to us by everyone!! Everything was AMAZING. We arrived at 12:04 on a rainy Wednesday and there was already a queue (probably due to the lack of things to do in the rain in Ullapool, it died down after!) we had: - the battered haddock wraps (you get a WHOLE battered fish inside its massive) - oysters (freshest I’ve ever had) - Cullen skink (like chowder, absolutely delicious) IMO the perfect order for 2 would be: 6 oysters, 1 Cullen skink and 1 wrap - as we were soooo full having a wrap each! 10/10. Only thing that would be good is covered seating as it’s all exposed. We ate in our van! ”
“ If you want nice sea food, simply come here. They do what they do very well and well priced for such good quality. There is a nice area to sit out and enjoy the moment too ”
“ Very nice and tasty food. The fishes were really fresh and flavorful. Definitely recommended. ”
“ Seafood Shack – Fresh, Flavourful, and Full of Charm Seafood Shack in Ullapool is a real gem — the food is absolutely lovely, with generous portions and everything tasting super fresh and full of flavour. You can really tell it’s all made with care, and it’s exactly the kind of hearty, satisfying meal you crave when you’re up in the Highlands. The ladies serving were so pleasant and welcoming, adding to the whole feel-good experience. My only wish is that there was a bit more cover — because even in classic Scottish weather (rain, wind, cold!), I still want to enjoy their food, but it’s tricky when you’ve nowhere to shelter. Still, 100% worth a visit. If you're passing through Ullapool, don’t miss it — just bring a jacket or a brolly and go for it! ”
