Ee-Usk

$$$ Fodor's Choice

This clean-lined restaurant's name means "fish" in Gaelic, and it has earned quite a reputation for serving excellent dishes made with the freshest fish and shellfish delivered directly from Oban's harbor. The signature creations use appealingly simple sauces; try oven-baked wild halibut with creamed leeks or the full-scale seafood platter. On clear days, there are nice views of the islands through the large glass windows. Children under 12 are not admitted for dinner.

Hawthorn Restaurant

Fish shares the menu here with local lamb, pork, and game. Although it's just a few miles from Oban (where it sources its seafood), the setting is rural, surrounded by crofts that are still working farms. Inside, modern furnishings are offset by white walls.
