GLASGOW’S five-star Blythswood Square Hotel has unveiled a new bar and restaurant.

Named after the Gaelic word for fish, iasg is billed as a “celebration of the best Scottish seafood”, with a menu including hand-dived scallops and Cumbrae oysters. It will open to the public on November 15.

Mafalda Albuquerque , general manager for Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel, said: “We’re really excited to introduce iasg to the Glasgow food scene with a new menu focused on celebrating Scotland’s finest seafood.

"Here at Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel we care about Scotland’s coast and waters, so it was important to us to commit restaurant iasg to a progressive sustainability policy for sourcing our seafood – and we hope to lead the way in Glasgow after COP26 at considering sustainable practice at every point in our guest journey.

“We’ll be serving only hand-dived or creel-caught shellfish, sourced in waters where there is a healthy supply, and promising to work with their suppliers to guarantee traceability.

"iasg restaurant will also be donating £1 from every bill to The Firth of Forth Lobster Hatchery, a conservation and educational charity and the only operating hatchery in Scotland, working to repopulate lobster stocks at North Berwick harbour.”
