Catch of the Day
Mealtime is the best time in the Highlands and we've got plenty to offer. You can go for fancy dining at a four-star resort, or chow down at a seaside chowder house. Seafood is our specialty - fresh daily from the ocean. Our lobster season runs from mid-May to mid-July and most restaurants feature a lobster dinner. In August the crab boats bring back succulent Snow Crab. Bring your sense of adventure and eat it with your fingers. Other seafood includes scallops, haddock, sole and Atlantic salmon.
For dessert we do wonders with blueberries, maple syrup, strawberries, and rhubarb. Be sure to try the oatcakes and get some to go. Sit down or take out. Linen-covered or picnic tables. We give you lots of ways to dine and extensive menu choices. You'll never go hungry in the Highlands.
