Crabshakk Botanics is a seafood restaurant at 18 Vinicombe Street in Glasgow’s West End. It is the sister restaurant to the original Crabshakk in Finnieston, carrying the same informal approach into a larger Botanics setting where walk-ins and advance bookings are both welcomed.

Scottish seafood and local suppliers are at the centre of the kitchen. The menu is designed to let the day’s fish and shellfish take the lead, with straightforward preparations that keep their freshness, texture and natural flavour in focus.

Oysters on ice, crab cakes and whole turbot show the range of the offering, from a quick plate at the bar to a more generous seafood meal for the table. The selection can change with supply, so the current menu is the best guide to the fish, shellfish and accompaniments available on a particular visit.

Cocktails and champagne make the restaurant as suitable for drinks and oysters as it is for a full lunch or dinner. Seafood, molluscs, crustaceans and other common allergens are fundamental to the menu, so diners with allergies should discuss the latest dishes and kitchen arrangements with the team before ordering.

Address: 18 Vinicombe Street, Botanics, Glasgow G12 8BE, Scotland
