Seafood with Soul
About the Shack
Perched above the Forth in the coastal town of South Queensferry, The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack brings you a fresh take on the great Scottish chippie. Think hand-dived scallops, tempura oysters, and buttered lobster rolls—served with a side of salty sea breeze and laid-back charm.
Blending the rugged beauty of the East Neuk of Fife with the easy-going cool of Cape Cod and the Hamptons, we serve honest food with flair. Our menu celebrates the best of Scotland’s seas and shores—whether it’s a simple prawn cocktail with our house Shack Sauce, or a smoky Surfboard Platter for sharing.
We’re proud to champion the Scottish fishing industry. Our trusted suppliers bring us the freshest possible catch—responsibly sourced and delivered daily. Every dish is prepared with care, creativity, and a deep respect for the sea.
Seafood Served with Style
The Shack Menu
This isn’t your average chippie. Our menu dives deep—bringing together classic favourites and creative seafood dishes with a continental twist. Whether you’re craving our crispy tempura oysters, the Shack’s own prawn cocktail with house sauce, or the show-stopping Lobster Supper, everything is prepared fresh and cooked to order.
Feeling generous? Share a Surfboard Platter loaded with smoked fish, oysters and shellfish. Or fire up your appetite with the Fish Shack Beach BBQ—our take on surf and turf, featuring grilled steaks, lobster tails and seafood straight off the flame. And as no two days are the same you’ll find some dishes change with tides!
So come hungry and stay curious – there’s always something new to reel you in.
Bottles, Brews and Perfect Pairings
Shack Sips
Good seafood deserves great wine—and ours is handpicked to match. Our list is a carefully sourced collection of bottles from small, independent vineyards and boutique producers around the world.
Every wine is chosen to complement the dishes we serve: crisp whites for shellfish, bold rosés for grilled lobster, and textured reds for smoky BBQ flavours. It’s a list we’re proud of—and a little bit in love with.
Not into wine? No problem. We’ve teamed up with Harviestoun Brewery to craft two exclusive ales just for The Crab & Lobster: Crabbit Crab, a bright, hoppy coastal ale, and Lobster Reef, a smooth, malty brew with a touch of sea salt. Both are designed to pair perfectly with seafood and offer a flavourful, refreshing alternative to wine.
Still a Catch at 55
Fish Shack Supper Club
Lunch with a little extra charm. Our Fish Shack Supper Club runs Monday to Friday, 11am–3pm, and is exclusively for our guests aged 55 and over. It’s a relaxed midday treat with all the flavour and none of the rush—designed to bring a smile (and a full belly) to your afternoon.
Enjoy golden battered haddock, twice-cooked chips, tartare sauce and a wedge of lemon, served with a pot of tea or coffee—plus optional extras if you’re feeling peckish. We also offer rotating Supper Club specials inspired by the day’s catch and seasonal favourites, from fish pies to grilled fillets and comforting chowders.
Whether you’re popping in after a coastal walk, meeting friends, or treating yourself to a quiet bite, it’s a delicious way to enjoy the Shack experience at a gentler pace. Still a catch, even at 55.
