Fishing port of Bowmore

The Bowmore fishing port dates back to the founding of the city during the eighteenth century; however, some historical documents suggest that the dock in the area predates the city. It's not a large port, but it is very busy, and you'll see local fish and shellfish being caught and treated here. On the island of Orkney, seafood is a major tourist attraction, and one of the most common local dishes is a full pint of prawns cooked with herbs and butter, served with a pint of beer, usually at an affordable price. Fish and mussels are also popular. This corner of the island is bustling and productive.
