Bright
and modern Ee'usk (it's how you pronounce
iasg,
the Gaelic word for 'fish') occupies
Oban's prime location on the North Pier. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow diners on two
levels to enjoy views over the harbour to Kerrera and Mull, while sampling a menu of loc-
ally caught seafood ranging from fragrant Thai fish cakes to langoustines with chilli and
ginger.
A little pricey, perhaps, but both food and location are first class.
