More than 150 shellfish growers spanning the globe gathered in Oban to celebrate their culture and industry. Craig Archibald of Islay Oysters took first prize home for his best Gigas oysters, Judith Vajk of Caledonian Oysters was runner-up. Judith and son Angus also won first prize for best native oysters with John Barrington of Creran Oysters taking second place. Best mussels was won by Douglas Wilson of Inverlussa Shellfish with Loch Fyne’s Hebridean Mussels in second position. We have given help when needed by shellfish growers in the past so it was good to be here on a non-emergency occasion.
