Imaginative artworks of local fish decorate Loch Fyne Oyster Bar in Clachan, Argyll. Some are abstract, others anatomical, but together they convey the otherworldly beauty of the underwater life here in the southwest of Scotland.
These are the same prints and paintings that I remember curiously sizing up when I visited as a child. Though I’d been dunking winkles in vinegar and munching on mussels since I was about four or five, oysters themselves weren’t appealing back then. So, returning as an adult, I go to town, knocking back both the fried panko-coated and fresh Tabasco-spiked varieties. And with the sea exploding in my mouth, and my eyes resting on the beguiling loch surface, I feel incredibly lucky to be party to this seafood lover’s paradise.
