The last 200m or so is a steeper one-lane road, but not problems here if you just look ahead a bit. The parking lot by the Oyster Shed has limited spaces. Again here...just don't rush - bring some time to either wait for a spot or to park further down and walk up. We got lucky and got a spot. Two RVs parked here too. Almost couldn't get in and out and did hold everybody up - so I wouldn't recommend bringing your RV up here. Inside you order by tablet. It's quite a big space inside the shop. Once you got your food (outside) you can sit down right in front or head around the corner to the big table with some views. We were happy to sit out front though. Ordered two kinds of cooked topped oysters (salmon/seaweed and spicy seaweed chutney), crab legs, a softshell crab and half-a-dozen of regular oysters. The fresh raw oysters were nice and of good quality. The cooked oysters were decent, maybe easier for oyster-beginners since the toppings cover the sea/oyster flavour. The softshell crab was really tasty - but also a bit pricey for our served size. The best item were the crab legs cluster. A good load of legs for little money. Very tasty! All in all a good place to enjoy some seafood. Some items were great, others also very good - but not great. If we come back it would be for the Crab legs...

Armed with our trusty gas stove, we searched the island before stumbling across Anchor Seafoods at the end of the pier. It was closed when we first approached it - were we to be twarted at the final turn??! No, we popped back 15 minutes later and the lovely lady had returned and we were able to peruse a fine selection of freshly caught seafood. The shop owner was quite charmed by my boyfriend, and seemed completely amazed that a Brazilian should turn up in her little shop in Portree!! The fish selection was super fresh and so appealing. It took a lot of resistance and will power not to walk away with too much, but we had to bear in mind we had no way of storing the produce. It was quite pricey but we decided it would be worth every penny. We settled for some scallops and prawns and headed off to find a secluded section of beach where we could cook up our feast and make all our fantasies come true!!

The food and flavors are from the Highlands and Skye and I loved their placement, its a map of Skye and some of the food produced in that region. The chef is a young man and I saw him coming out of the the busy kitchen a couple times to take a break. He shook my hand when he asked what Whisky I was drinking and I told him a Gelnfidditch 18. The two problems with the restaurant were they had the heat turned on very high, it was uncomfortably hot and I would honestly rather have been cold. The other problem was they were very short staffed so the meal started out great but our server was invisible toward the end and we sat around for 20 minutes trying to see him so we could leave. Haggis + Paneer Pakora: Great Haggis fusion dish, felt traditional and yet paid homage to some of the new cultures that make up the UK. Slow Braised Lamb Shank: Rosemary Infused Mashed Potato and Roasted Root Vegetable. Very tender and delicious, our whole family shared this even though it started off as just my wifes dinner. Sole Veronique: Potatoes, spinach, and a cream sauce. Tasted OK but I thought the sauce was too heavy for the light fish it was on.

Service not the best (for such a top establishment). Not attentive. Even worse, no apologies when there was plastic in the dish! That is a major fail to be honest. Waiter said he'd talk to kitchen and never came back. When the bill came we had to tell this different waiter about the whole episode. Again no apology but when she came back with a revised bill she quietly took the charge off (so that dish was free). Fine but why such bad handling of this whole incident?

~*~*~ pre-covid review ~*~*~…read more In a tiny little village, an hour drive away from the biggest town on the isle of Skye, there's this little gem that is Michelin-rated, but really just looks like it's in somebody's house next to a small fishing village. It was one of the best seafood meals I've ever had in my life, which is huge because I grew up by the sea and had some of the freshest seafood growing up. The menu looks quaint -- you get a 3-course or a 5-course meal, at a pretty reasonable price. I've travelled too far to get here, so of course I opted for as much food as I can get. We started with some bites -- fried smelt with aioli, and some bread with smoked fish butter. Then came the first course, "soup and a sandwich". Wow -- it was the best chowder I've had, along with the best grilled cheese with crab... the mister was practically crying with joy; it was his favourite comfort food, just upgraded 100000x. We would've no regrets going home just after this course. But there's more to come! We had three expressions of scallop. So fresh, and such deliciousness! We then moved on to lobster and bay prawns, and lastly of the savory dishes, the monkfish with asparagus. I'm normally not a fan of monkfish, but here, it was expertly prepared, and tasted so delicate with the asparagus and cream sauce. Dessert was great as well. The clootie dumpling soufflé was just scrumptious, whereas the assorted desserts had just about all the things -- chocolate, sherbet, candied sugar and cream. I'm just glad I had a chance to visit this part of the world, and that I took some time to come to this little restaurant. It was unforgettable, and worth every single bite.
