The opening of the first Loch Fyne seafood counter at Dobbies store in Livingston has, for the first time, brought award-winning seafood from the shores of Loch Fyne to Dobbies garden centres and was marked with a demonstration of oyster shucking by one of Loch Fyne’s skilled oystermen.

Loch Fyne seafood counters are planned for Dobbies stores across the UK with more opening in the coming months.

Fresh seafood will be regularly delivered to each store and staff, specially trained at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar and delicatessen in Argyll, will be on-hand to advise customers about the seafood products on offer.
