Oh yes! We ate at the Fish House on our first visit, some years ago! I believe I had the Cole Fillet... 🤔😋 We do love both of the huts, and hit them on different days. Think we hit the green one more this year though. I think 90% of our Oban eats was seafood! 🤣

Hehehe, my friend loves Binba Coffeehouse (I'm not a huge coffee person, but their hot chocolate & pastries are stellar!), and we had a couple of big breakfasts at Wetherspoons. Did you hit up the Oban Chocolate Factory? (We did do other stuff than just eat, I swear! 🤣)

I found out while planning my first visit in 2017, that my great grandfather was from Oban. My Nana is a MacDougall, & Oban is the seat of the MacDougall Clan. Visited 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 3x so far, trying to see some new spots every time, but must have time in Oban! Feels like home. I'd love to live in Scotland.
