Award Winning Seafood Platter
With a selection of the finest seafood our Seafood Platter was awarded a Best of Wester Ross Award for 2006.
More ››
Taste of Salmon
This is a dish of a variety of different preparations and comprises Smoked Salmon, Gravadlax and Fresh Salmon.
More ››
Prawn Platter
Our prawn platter is another very popular dish. Our prawns are creel caught (not trawled) which is a selective way of fishing.
More ››
Oysters
Oysters were very common in Britain up until the 1920's but are now regarded as quite a delicacy.
More ››
Lobster
In 2000 we purchased a lobster tank. Lobster is probably the most expensive shellfish, partly due to the difficulty in catching them.
More ››
Squat Lobster
Squat lobster seems to be peculiar to the West Coast. They taste a bit like a prawn but are sweeter.
More ››
Queen Scallops
Queen Scallops are also locally dived for. They are smaller than their king cousins but are a different animal.
More ››
Edible Crab
Crabs are very common. They are best eaten around late summer or September when the female is full of bright orange roe.
More ››
King Scallops
The king scallops we serve are hand-dived; served in Garlic Butter with a croissant they are the House Speciality.
More ››
Mussels
Cultured mussels are usually rope grown in Scotland. The advantage over 'wild' mussels is that they don't have any grit in them.

Wonderful find in a beautiful spot. This little bar was a real find on our stay near Lochcarron. The seafood was some of the best we have had: fresh and beautifully cooked. The staff were lovely, making us very welcome and ensuring we were well looked after. We visited several times and were never disappointed. I would thoroughly recommend this gem to visitors in this region. Catherine from Telford, UK - October 2015

Where to eat squat lobster tail. We ordered the seafood platter as a special treat – it was so fresh it was practically swimming off the plate. Garlicky sweet scallops were joined by large, juicy mussels, langoustines, oysters and crab, as well as our favourite, the little balls of squat lobster tail, a delicious local delicacy. Served out of the tiny, friendly kitchen, this wee restaurant bats well above its average, and is well worth the detour from the bigger local towns nearby. Did we mention the view? Gorgeous. One of the highlights of our trip. Anonymous, London, UK - July 2014

Well worth the 2 hour round trip. Not enough places like this in the UK. Outstanding local produce served perfectly. Lovely atmosphere and a genuine feeling that you're somewhere a bit special. Cracking wine list too which was unexpected. One tip - the seafood platter says that it CAN be shared. Don't. Just have one to yourself. I did and didn't regret it. Chris, Manchester, UK - April 2015

Best Seafood Ever. Last Sunday was our Son's 40th. The Kishorn now has a very attractive pale blue theme, very inviting. How could there be a better position, overlooking the loch and the Isle of Skye. 12 of us celebrated the occasion eating lobster (+3 extra), the tastiest scallops (had to order more), oysters, mussels...... We were so well looked after and the seafood just kept coming. Rick Stein, eat your heart out. We would love to visit the Kishorn again. Thank you for a great afternoon.
