It’s simple really, our calling card is sustainable Scottish seafood.Our name comes from the Gaelic word for fish.

With delicious fresh produce served by our very own Head Chef, Sean Currie, you'll feel the energy in the way we go about things – our warm welcome, enthusiasm for what we do, and, of course, a splash of Glaswegian banter.Serving sustainable Scottish seafood is at the heart of everything we do.
