Loch Fyne Oysters signs new partnership deal
Loch Fyne Oysters has announced a partnership with Dobbies Garden Centres in a bid to bring fresh seafood to their stores.
The move began last week with the opening of the first seafood counter in Dobbies’ Livingston store, with plans to deliver regular fresh Scottish seafood to more stores across the UK in the coming months.
According to Loch Fyne Oysters, some Dobbies staff will be specially trained at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar in Argyll to enable them to give specific advice to customers.
Loch Fyne Oysters already supplies a number of restaurants and businesses around the UK and abroad, including Selfridges and British Airways. It also provides much of the seafood used by the Loch Fyne restaurants chain.
Loch Fyne Oysters managing director Cameron Brown said: ‘Dobbies customers can now go home with smoked salmon or fresh oysters knowing that exactly the same products are being served to diners in the finest hotels in the world.’
‘Bringing Loch Fyne seafood into our Livingston foodhall builds on the high-quality produce offering that Dobbies’ customers know and love,’ said Archie Stewart, head of food at Dobbies Garden Centres. ‘We’re excited to be taking this first step and look forward to introducing Loch Fyne to more of our stores across the UK in the near future.’
