But definitely try the green seafood shack on Oban Pier. Just watch out for the seagulls if you try to walk along the pier eating a crab sandwich :-)


Cheers, good advice. I know that you can keep bonxies at bay by lifting a stick (or stiff arm) above the head. Does that work with sea gulls too while eating?


Yes they will eat your arm and leave your food alone.

Fair enough if I eat enough crab rolls I might just grow a claw instead :lol:

Real food - real rip off too! Ben Cruachan Inn, super, still a bit pricy but way better value.

At 14quid for a burger (unless there's another menu) I'd hope so. That'd be expensive here in Edinburgh.

Was in the Real food place last year and everything was fairly reasonable. Two meals for less than £10 each if I mind right. £14 for a burger that's getting close to Pitlochry prices. :shock:

I can't decide if RF has changed hands or the owner has taken a back seat. I've not seen her there for ages.
