1 Best Restaurant in Argyll and the Isles, Scotland

Serving arguably the best-value seafood in Oban, the late John Ogden's quayside fish shack is a local legend. Look for a green-painted shed on the pier, then join the line of cognoscenti waiting for simply sautéed scallops, grilled langoustine, and lobster, oysters, and mussels. Freshness is everything here. With just a few rough-hewn outdoor tables, you may have to eat standing up, but it's worth it.
