Squat lobsters

On our our trip to the beautiful Applecross peninsula on the West coast of Scotland we finally got a chance to eat at the Kishorn Seafood Bar - close to the Loch Kishorn.

We watched the spectacular landscape pictured here disappear under a thick blanket of cloud as we sat down to a bowl of squat lobster tails freshly caught in the loch.

Related to hermit crabs they apparently aren’t in demand for export but I can’t think why as I think they were better than any prawn or langoustine I’ve tasted.

A cup of tea seemed  to go very well though there is a wine list. If you're ever anywhere in the north west of Scotland, this is a place that's well worth the detour.
