Hit up these delicious street food feeds on your next adventure in Moray and the Highlands.

Street food has become incredibly popular in Scotland over the past few years. With the effects of the coronavirus pandemic resulting in the cancellation of lots of events many of these vendors would normally attend, street food firms are now out in force to make up for lost time.

The concept of street food is ready-to-eat food and drink cooked by a vendor on the street or in a public place.

While it is usually sold from a portable food truck, some of the firms on the Moray and Highlands food scene have managed to secure themselves bricks and mortar venues as a result of their popularity.

Here, we highlight some of the best street food finds you’ll find in Moray and the Highlands…

Cheese and Tomatin – Inverness and Aviemore

While they may primarily operate from their restaurants in Inverness and Aviemore, it wouldn’t be right not to feature Cheese and Tomatin in this street food round-up.

Producing some of the finest Neapolitan style woodfired pizzas in the Highlands, each pizza is handcrafted, made with the homemade sourdough and Napoli sauce, and then topped with mozzarella.

Only the finest local ingredients are featured as toppings on the pizzas and locally grown, organic vegetables also feature too.

The pizzas take around 90 seconds to cook in the traditional woodfire oven.

The Inverness location is based on Stephen’s Brae, while the newer Aviemore base can be found on Grampian Road.

The Seafood Shack – Ullapool

Established in Ullapool in 2016, Kirsty Scobie and Fenella Renwick have officially opened their popular venue The Seafood Shack for the summer season.

Open seven days a week from noon to 6pm, the business operates on a first-come, first served, so if you want to make sure you get a taste of the goods, you better make sure you are down at the shack prompt.

Also specialising in seafood, the duo use freshly caught produce from the local fishermen in Ullapool and create delicious dishes which can also be found in their first cookbook which they released last year.

The duo have currently welcomed Kirsty’s sister, Katie Scobie, to run her own pop-up gin bar at the premises after recently launching her own gin firm, Rhidorroch Distillery.

Popular dishes including fresh mackerel, smoked mackerel pate, Cullen skink, haddock wraps, dressed crab and scallops to name a few can usually be found on the menu, however, it does change day to day in line with the catch from local fishermen.
