Loch Fyne Sea Food Shop
Selling: Fish & Shellfish
The Loch Fyne empire may now include a UK restaurant chain plus the original Oyster Bar at Cairndow, but the adjacent Sea Food Shop sells some belting produce. The business farms its own mussels and oysters, has a smokery for salmon and other foods, and what it doesn't grow it sources with care (Shetland sea trout for example).

We have been to other Loch Fyne resaurants but this really is the best - the staff, the location and of course the food is exceptional. Its a long way to tavel from Wales butit was worth it and we will be back!!
Celebrating their 30th anniversary, Loch Fyne Oysters is an enterprising company had contributed to the local economy, and is a welcome spot for shopping and dining when visiting this part of the Highlands. At their base in Argyll, Scotland, Loch Fyne Oysters rear their own oysters and mussels and run a traditional smokehouse, smoking and curing fish using methods handed down over the years. Other fish and shellfish are sourced from local day-boats and from independent fish farms working to Organic or Freedom Food standards. Loch Fyne also sells a range of meat products, which includes beef, lamb, pork and lamb marketed under the brand name ‘Glen Fyne’. In 2007, they launched their Loch Fyne Larder range – a collection of fresh chilled pates, soups, fishcakes and ready-made meals, using Loch Fyne ingredients, to be enjoyed at home. They are available to buy online and in selected retailers. Also at their base at Cairndow is a farm shop and Loch Fyne Oyster Bar, the genesis behind the Loch Fyne Restaurant group, owned by Greene King with whom Loch Fyne Oysters have both supply and licence agreements in place. Loch Fyne products are available in retail and foodservice throughout the UK and internationally, in the farm shop and online at www.lochfyne.com and on the menu at Loch Fyne restaurants. With a 135 strong workforce, Loch Fyne Oysters Ltd has been employee owned since 2003.
this is the best eating place we have ever been and we travel over two hundred miles to get there, we are planning to go again next month for my husbands 60th birthday, thats how good it is.
Our annual visit to Dunoon always includes a family meal at Loch Fyne - it's been our tradition for years! The children love the fresh mussels & we always purchase other treats from the shop to enjoy back at the cottage. - We'll be there next week, and we can't wait!!
LFO is a leading example of how Argyll can match any where else in the world for sustainable, socio-economical, environmentally sustainable and healthy food. It epitomises the slow food movement and is where you can genuinly eat the view!
We were impressed by the work ethics, genuine sense of customer service & respect of nature. All staff are conscious of the importance of good quality ingredients & only offer the best to customers - while still being competitively priced. There are 3 types of salmon: fresh, smoked for 12 hours & smoked for at least 24 hours. The last category is simply amazing & is likely to beat any salmon you've ever tasted!!!
Locally smoked fish, home grown oysters, local beer, a range of associated products.
The wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff make shoping or simply browsing here a pleasure (though how you can browse and not be tempted to buy the freshest of local produce, fish and seafood I simply don't know!). I always come away from The Loch Fyne Sea Food Shop planning my next visit!
All types of fish, particularly oysters, mussels, salmon etc. and they ar all delicious - delivery excellant - staff person to person and on the phone excellant
We visit the West coast of Scotland twice a year nad the holiday would not be complete without Loch Fyne Kippers for breakfast. Very fat and succulent!!
The very first oyster I ever had was from Loch Fyne Oysters - lovely!
Quality of produce and their ethical stance on sustainable fisheries
sells fresh salmon which is thebest taste ever
I discovered Loch Fyne by visting the Cairndow Oyster bar about thirteen years ago when I started courting my now wife. I was blown away by the freshnesss and quality of the seafood and LF helped us discover our mutual love for oysters. At Christmas and other special days we order their smoked salmon, perhaps some Bradan Rost, and some of their other wonderful produce. Their smoked mussels are always a crowd pleaser, simply served on a blini with a thin slice of cucumber and a dollop of creme fraiche. We order via telephone and their service and delivery is impeccable and punctual. I admire the company's structure on an employee ownership basis and the values of sustainability and good husbandry. Whenever in Glasgow seeing the in-laws we are always keen to visit the Cairndow Oyster bar and sample their assiete de fruit de mer followed by a drive up the loch to Inverary.
Consistently exceeds my expectations! Every time I shop here I am more delighted than last with the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff and the FANTASTIC range of produce. This company also has an environmental ethos!
You get the same very high service when you order 1 item as you do if you are their largest customer.Products and service are the best one can get.
