Glasgow's latest seafood restaurant will open this month, 'serving up the very best produce from Scottish waters'.
£250,000 has been invested into Hyndland-based Shucks, a new venture from Paul and Chris Charalambous, co-owners of Epicures, Cail Bruich and Brett, in partnership with leading hospitality investor and itison founder, Oli Norman.
And the team behind the new food and drink spot have today confirmed Shucks will start to welcome in customers from March 30.

The dishes have been designed by Head Chef Shaun Haggarty with the team behind Michelin-starred Cail Bruich heading up a kitchen bursting with culinary talent.
Menu highlights include Shucks champagne clams, green chilli, coriander & charred sourdough; BBQ Halibut with trotter glaze; and small plates and bar snacks like Hamachi Crudo and Tator tots, chive crème fraiche & herring caviar.
Meanwhile, mouthwatering seafood options will be complement by a carefully curated selection of drinks for both diners and walk-ups in the stylish downstairs cocktail, wine bar and outdoor terrace.
The drinks programme will include a Champagne and cocktail trolley brought to your table, a carefully curated wine and Champagne list by Cail Bruich’s Head Sommelier, and seasonal cocktails including the in-house Negroni.
Co-owner Paul Charalambous said: “We are delighted to be opening 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 £250,000 refurb of the 80-cover venue is being carried out by Glasgow based Surface ID who designed sister venues Cail Bruich, Brett and Epicures. The refurb will see the Hyndland spot, site of the former Nicks, transformed into a comfortable restaurant, bar and outdoor terrace for locals and those coming from further afield to enjoy.
Shucks will officially open on Wednesday March 30 with bookings going live Friday March 18 at www.shucksglasgow.com.
