Nearly all of our shellfish and fish is landed on the West Coast of Scotland. Our oysters arrive fresh daily from Loch Creran, while our langoustines, lobsters, brown crab, and king scallops come from local fishermen operating in Oban and surrounding Argyll sea lochs. Because our menu relies on fresh daily landings, our catch is as fresh as dining directly on the pier gets.

"Ee-Usk" is the phonetic spelling of Iasg, the Scottish Gaelic word for fish. The name pays homage to Argyll’s Gaelic heritage and our focus on serving sustainably caught Scottish seafood.

The Seafood Platter is our signature dish, available hot, cold, or mixed. Depending on daily catches, it features Scottish lobster, king scallops, whole langoustines, Loch Creran oysters, local mussels, and brown crab. We advise reserving early if you plan to order whole lobsters during peak summer season.

Advance reservations are strongly advised, especially for evening tables and weekend lunches between April and October. You can book directly via our website (ResDiary) or by calling us on 01631 565666. Tables are held for up to 10 minutes past reservation time. Walk-ins are accommodated when space permits, and we operate a standby list on busy days.

We are situated directly on the North Pier, an 8- to 10-minute flat walk along the bay from both the Oban Railway Station and the Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) ferry terminal. If catching an afternoon ferry to Mull, Coll, or Barra, lunch service starts at 12:00 noon, leaving plenty of time to dine before boarding.

Our glass-fronted dining room was purpose-built so virtually every table enjoys views out over Oban Bay, the island of Kerrera, and the hills of Mull. While specific window tables cannot be guaranteed due to high demand, early reservations receive priority when allocating seating.

While seafood is our speciality, we cater to mixed parties with Scottish steak (such as our prime ribeye or fillet) and poultry, alongside vegetarian and vegan dishes. Most of our shellfish dishes are naturally gluten-free; please let your server know your dietary requirements upon arrival so sides and sauces can be adapted.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome in our unheated conservatory area, which operates on a first-come, first-served basis and cannot be reserved in advance. To comply with hygiene standards around open seafood prep and carpeted dining areas, dogs are not permitted inside the main restaurant (registered assistance dogs are always welcome).

Families with children are welcome during our daily lunch service starting at 12:00 noon, with highchairs available on request. To maintain an adult dining atmosphere in the evenings, we observe a policy where children under 12 are not seated for dinner service after 5:45 pm.

Because Ee-Usk sits on the pedestrianised North Pier (PA34 5QD), there is no vehicular access directly outside our front door. The closest Pay & Display parking options within a 2- to 5-minute walk are:

• North Pier Car Park (closest)

• Corran Halls Car Park (ample spaces for longer stays)

• George Street on-street bays (short-stay)
