Taking to social media, the seafood restaurant and bar said: “ We have an announcement - it’s time to say goodbye…

“Sunday the 12th of January will be our last time cooking at Shucks. It will be a goodbye of sorts, we have enjoyed bringing the finest seafood to Hyndland’s main street for the last two years and being part of this incredible community, both of neighbourhood locals, and other guests who have travelled a little further to dine with us.

“During our time here, we’ve come to understand what Hyndland wants and needs, and we’re excited to bring a fresh vision to life. The time feels right to take the venue in a new direction, and we can’t wait to share what’s next with you.In the meantime, we hope to see you all over the next week for one last oyster, a pint at the bar, or a Sunday roast and to cheers goodbye to Shucks.

Shucks on Hyndland Road was Michelin Guide recommended, their inspectors said: “ This smart, nautically themed neighbourhood restaurant is doing a fantastic job of championing the best of Scottish seafood. Start with a glass of champagne from the trolley and snacks such as oysters, prawn tacos or crispy whitebait. As the meal proper begins, keep an eye out for the occasional Asian touch – ranging from tandoori butter to a miso glaze – and their speciality fish cooked on the bone. Across the menu, one thing is clear: this kitchen knows how to cook fish with real skill.”
