Product Information
Shortlisted for the Guild of Food Writers First Book and Single Subject Book Awards 2021 Gourmand Cookbook Award Winner 2020 In 2016 two locals, frustrated at the lack of opportunities to eat the seafood landed in Ullapool, started a seafood shack on the harbour of the North West Highlands town. Serving up whatever their fishermen friends brought them every day, Kirsty Scobie and Fenella Renwick's crowd funded project was an instant success and a new book, to be published in November, brings this to life. In their first book, Kirsty and Fenella tell the story of Ullapool's Seafood Shack and bring together the recipes for the fresh, vibrant, ballsy dishes that have made The Seafood Shack such a Scottish treasure: from their famed Haddock & Pesto Wrap and the super-luxe Lobster Mac & Cheese to incredible super-local delicacies like Spiney Popcorn. The Seafood Shack was born out of a conversation between Kirsty and Fenella out at sea with their fishermen partners. Ullapool has around twelve local boats fishing in the clear, icy waters of The Minch: five prawn trawlers and seven inshore creel boats, with a further two crabbing boats coming in each week and ten or so white fish boats landing regularly. The vast majority of this huge variety of seafood landing daily was then transferred straight onto the back of a lorry, making it difficult to source it locally. Eager to keep a little fresh seafood for their hometown, Kirsty and Fenella opened up The Seafood Shack. The shack swiftly went onto win recognition, winning the BBC Food & Farming Award for Best Street food or Takeaway in 2017 and hosting visits from the likes of Mary Berry and Albert Roux. Kirsty says: Many tonnes of seafood are caught in our Scottish seas and then transported straight out of Ullapool. We wanted to play a part in keeping some of our seafood local and so the Seafood Shack was born. What we really love now is being behind the hatches, cooking away and chatting to our customers as they devour a haddock wrap or peel open some fresh buttery langoustines. The book tells this story and shares our approach. What makes the Shack so wonderful to us is its relaxed feel and we don't have to be stuck in a kitchen behind closed doors, we can be involved in every aspect. The food we cook is simple, quick but most importantly fresh and delicious. Punctuated by the voices of local fishermen, the book celebrates the fishing industry that has been the beating heart of Ullapool's village life for 230 years. With both Fenella and Kirsty's partners actively involved in fishing, The Seafood Shack also reflects the debate around sustainable fishing. Fenella says: The people behind our seafood are a huge part of our story: from Josh's langoustines and lobsters, Gary's hand-dived scallops and Stephen's white fish to the team at our local smokehouse or Joe our oyster producer. These amazing people have been a massive part of our success: at the end of the day we're not amazing chefs, we're just two girls who love to cook and having such fantastic and fresh produce is what makes the Shack work. The Seafood Shack provides over 80 down to earth recipes and tips for cooking white fish, smoked fish and shellfish. Kirsty and Fenella's work on the book was recognised when they were announced as winners of the Jane Grigson Trust Award for New Writers earlier this year.Product Identifiers

A must-have for the seafood junkie
I have loved the Seafood Shack since they first set up shop near the ferry car-park and I always make a point of visiting on my way back and forth from Lewis. My first taste of their delicious menu was their hot garlic crab claws and I am delighted, and relieved, that they feature in the book. A lovely read and mouth-watering recipes which we look forward to trying out.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

More than a recipe book.
The Seafood Shack is all about people and how they engage and interact. This clearly comes across in the book which is more than just a recipe book. I have tried a couple of the recipe's which have been easy to follow and have been very enjoyable (my family comments) Looking forward to visiting when we are on our travels once we get back to some kind of normality!!!

I must return now to Ullapool
It's a simple cook book. The pictures are wonderful and it's a great story of local food. As an ex seafood restaurant group GM, these pictures tell a tale of really skilful food preparation, I'm salivating at the memory. Every detail of the book is considered and well produced from local producer stories to the logo. As a pro, I would just hope to be able to compete. Just one criticism, couldn't they find a Scottish/even British printer?Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Much more than just a recipe book....
Delicious recipes, alongside absorbing history of the area and a great memoir of how this local enterprise came into being. Much more than just a recipe book. This 'seafood shack on a shelf' makes up for not having the real thing close by.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
