I had Cullen skink in Plockton a couple of years ago and spent the rest of the week wanting more of it. I think it was the first time food was so tasty I was lost for words.

Yeah, Cullen Skink is superb. Not really a fan of soup myself but I definitely make an exception for a nice bowl of Cullen Skink.

Just remembered Sam's seafood shack in Rodel on the Isle of Harris.

Literally in the middle of nowhere, flexible opening hours, flexible menu, depending on what he's caught or could get his hands on. Just a battered old caravan, but the food is wonderful.

Seaweed potatoes anyone?

Talking of food on Scottish isles, back in 97 I went to Skye with the ex. (She wasn’t the ex then). Went to a seafood restaurant and had superb lobster for a really good price. Got chatting to the proprietor who also fished for the lobster himself. Thought his accent was familiar. He was from Caistor. Self-taught fisherman, and much to the locals dismay he said he was good at it!


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Been to a few restaurants on Skye and never had a bad meal yet.

Would love to go here but would need to save up with it costing £110 per person. It's certainly popular though with the first date available for booking being the 24th of August!

Capstick song comes to mind, I'm sure you remember it.

That doesn't include your drinks either, and if you fancied staying over rooms are only £365 per night! (That does include breakfast though)

This is my problem with high end UK restaurants.

I know the hospitality sector is in a desperate situation and payroll costs and taxes are high. Good quality, fresh fish and seafood is expensive but that wine list takes the pîss a bit.

When you’re paying £50 for a simple, and fairly nondescript, bottle of Gavi or Grillo, something’s gone wrong somewhere. I realise overheads will be high and they make their margin on the wet sales (and the accommodation!) but a wine list like that just puts me off.

I could have a 3* meal in parts of France and Germany for less (in normal times).
