I ask a simple question, the truth I only wish. Are all fishermen liars or do only liars fish?
On the 3rd of May 2016 we opened up The Seafood Shack in Ullapool. It was a very exciting day for us, our emotions veering from panic when somebody would come to order, laughter when things went wrong and joy when we successfully closed up for the first day. In total we probably had 20 customers at most, but for us it was a great start to our new venture. We have kept The Seafood Shack a small business but we’ve now got around eight staff and are open seven months of the year, serving up to 300 customers a day. Really it’s pretty amazing our wee Shack can cope sometimes, let alone us!
