The team behind Michelin starred Cail Bruich, Bar Brett and Epicures are set to open an exciting new seafood restaurant, Shucks, later this month in partnership with hospitality investor, Oli Norman.
Shucks will be a relaxed 80-cover seafood restaurant, bar, and outdoor terrace in Hyndland.
The kitchen will serve up some of the best catches from Scottish waters and beyond from local fish merchant John Vallance at Glasgow Fish Market, all of which are fully traceable to ecologically approved sustainable sources.
Menu highlights include: Shucks gilda-house preserved sardine, smoked olive & guindilla chilli; Tater tots, chive crème fraiche, herring caviar & Sardinian pecorino; Smoked salmon crumpet, crème fraiche & pickles; and Shucks champagne clams, green chilli, coriander & charred sourdough.
Heading up the kitchen brigade will be chef Shaun Haggarty, previously head chef at Cail Bruich.
Shaun has honed his craft and passion for seafood whilst working in top restaurants around the world in food destinations such as Australian restaurants Stokehouse and Circa at The Prince Hotel.
Combining his passion for Scottish fish and shellfish with Asian influences from his international career, Shaun and his team will be utilising a wide range of techniques; from in-house curing and smoking to classic fish cookery in the state-of-the-art kitchen, which will be equipped with a wood-fired grill.
Paul Charalambous, co-owner of Cail Bruich and Shucks said: “We are delighted to be opening up our fourth venue in our hometown. Like all our venues, we have been working closely with our suppliers from across Scotland to ensure the very best produce will be on the table for guests to enjoy. The menu is experimental but approachable showcasing the simplicity of the seafood from our Scottish shores.
“Shucks has been a long-awaited opening for the team and we’re looking forward to opening our doors to the great people of Glasgow and beyond.”
The drinks menu includes a champagne trolley and seasonal cocktails focusing on providing a progressive drinks selection as well as a carefully curated wine list by the group’s head sommelier.
