Basking sharks frequent the lower stretches of the loch from June to August each year, but the chance of actually diving with one of these gentle giants is extremely remote.

 Restaurant Review of Loch Fyne Restaurant, Knowle, Solihull
The newly opened Loch Fyne Restaurant in Knowle (an affluent suburb of Solihull, heart of a natural target audience for such restaurants but hitherto ignored by the chains) demonstrates many of the best traits of such establishments but thankfully few of the less satisfactory ones.
Should you have visited any other Loch Fyne Restaurants the decor and ambience would have been instantly recognisable- lots of stripped pine, bench tables, a buzz of conversation and laughter around the restaurant and very friendly and pleasant waiting staff.
As well as the normal Loch Fyne Menu (variations on the fresh Oyster theme, shellfish, fish soups, grilled fish, griddled fish, fried fish etc.) there were various specials chalked up on the flboards usefully left near each table.
