We’re incredibly proud to share that The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack has been named Best Restaurant at the Radio Forth Awards—a fantastic recognition voted for by listeners and supported by the local community.
This award celebrates not just great food, but the full dining experience—something we’ve been passionate about from day one.
A Family Vision, Recognised
Behind the Shack is a family with decades of experience in hospitality. Led by Bryan and Jack Coghill, the journey has always been about delivering something special—combining quality ingredients, creativity, and genuine hospitality.
Winning this award is a reflection of that vision, and of the hard work put in by the entire team both front and back of house.
More Than Just Fish & Chips
From the outset, The Crab & Lobster Fish Shack was designed to offer something different.
A modern seafood restaurant inspired by the coast, blending:
- Classic fish and chips
- Elevated seafood dishes
- A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere
This recognition reinforces what we’ve always believed—that great food, consistency, and service create an experience people want to return to time and time again.
Voted by the People
What makes this award particularly special is that it was voted for by listeners and customers.
To be chosen by the very people who dine with us, support us, and recommend us means everything. It’s a true reflection of the connection we’ve built with our guests and the wider community.
A Milestone Moment
The award marks another exciting milestone in what has already been an incredible journey for the Shack.
From opening our doors to gaining national recognition and now receiving a major regional award, it’s been a whirlwind—and we’re just getting started.
Thank You
A huge thank you to everyone who voted for us, visited us, and continues to support what we do.
