Nin’s Bin is an iconic roadside seafood caravan with a bit of a cult following, and for good reason. It’s been family-run since the 1970s, started by the Fyffe family who fished local waters and cooked up crayfish just metres from where they were caught 🦞. Back then, it was just a caravan, a few tables, and unbeatable views. Not much has changed - and that’s part of the charm :)

The crayfish here is still caught fresh by local fishers and served simply, usually with lemon, garlic butter, and a bit of sea air. 

Tips:
– It’s first come, first served - go early, especially in summer.
– Cash is safest - reception can be patchy.
– No fancy setup - just picnic tables, sea spray, and good kai.
– Stop for the view, stay for the cray.
- Watch out for the seagulls that are ready to take your food!
