Adam's Fish & Chips in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

never been but you can't go wrong with a guy named Adam

Some of the best Fish and chips I've had.

Great little fish and chip restaurant with high quality and fresh ingredients. The fish and lobster scampi was very nice and the batter crispy. Chips were as expected and very nice. The draught beer was a little flat but perhaps that’s due to it not being open every day. Website should also say booking essential rather than preferred. We turned up without a booking and while we were served and they managed to accommodate us it did throw them a little.

Wonderful fresh fish and chips, great service and a fantastic location. If you are lucky enough to be here at a time when you can get here, do. You will not regret it! There is a full bar and great desserts as well as the phenomenal fish and chips.

Stopped by for lunch on Monday, had a delicious portion of lobster and chips which was perfect following on from a kayaking session! Super friendly staff and a lovely place to catch your breath, the brownies are also delicious!

I visited this place on one of thier supper evenings - as i was staying on St Marys and they were doing a supper night on the Wednesday - went into the shop to take the order and time for eating on St Marys and then spent the whole day on St Martins - normally they run a later boat for the event but as long as you tell someone you can spend the whole day there - it was a lovely evening and worth doing - offered drinks and desserts for those who wanted them. Booking is essential for this trip for them to cook the food

Fish and chips were excellent. Note - book ahead and you may need to pre-order. Check website for opening hours - open Tuesdays evenings this month only.

Great place, shame it's not open more. Very restricted opening, always check and book

Great fish and chips. Added advantage to our visit it was a special event night with a very good live band playing after meals had finished

Adams gets better every year. Superb food, service and ambience

Arguably some of the best fish and chips we've tasted. Lovely staff, pleasant surroundings.

Absaloutly fabulous as always. Great food, friendly staff, always fresh from the sea 🌊👍 we've been coming to St Martins for a few years now and always visit the fish and chip place a few times 🐠

Lovely little restaurant, with tonnes of outdoor and indoor seating - outside was PACKED when we arrived so we sadly sat inside away from the sun. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU BOOK AHEAD, PREFERABLY WITH YOUR CHOICE OF MEAL. They literally go catch what they need that evening, and it is always busy because the kitchen is only open Tuesday and Friday evenings (i think), though the bar seems to be open every night. The decor is no-frills, feels almost like a US country diner. I had the lobster scampi which was delicious, others in our party had the fish (which I think was pollock). Both came in a lovely light batter, with excellent chips (better than your standard chip shop fare) and peas which I think were very lightly minted. There was barely a scrap left on any of our plates, and we went home feeling very full indeed! I was drinking Somersby cider, others had Korev lager (brewed in Cornwall), both were decent and on draft. They had plenty of other choices behind the bar too. St Martin's has come a long way since I first visited in 2007, with lots more choice of where to eat, all of it good quality though a little pricier than the mainland for obvious reasons. The people I came with (wife and in-laws) visited the island a LOT in the 80s and 90s, when tourists were fewer. They somewhat miss the island as it was then, but recognise how much better it is now, for tourists and locals alike. Adam's fish & chips is a key part of that, and a must-visit if you can.

Lovely Fish and chips plus lobster tempura was delicious

Excellent . Had 2 great meals . Staff are excellent . Booked for 8 hungry Divers and all enjoyed

Top rate fish and chips. I always think fish and chips can be divided into three basic categories - superb fish and chips where every bit get demolished and that will remain in your memory, decent fish and chips that does the job but doesn't have any 'wow this is amazing' qualities, and downright awful fish and chips (when it's bad, it's bad!). Adam's most definitely comes in the top tier! If you're going to St Martin's be sure to book ahead - they are only open on certain days and get booked days in advance. We were lucky, benefitting from a cancellation! The food is wonderful though. Delicious light batter, the freshest fish imaginable, great chips, and the deserts are really nice too. To go with all that, the service is really friendly, atmosphere is relaxed, the restaurant itself is lovely, and of course, it just happens to be on St Martin's, possibly the greatest place in the world. It you're going to St Martin's and you like fish and chips, you will love this place.

Just seen your venue on More 4 DEVON and CORNWALL Will be staying on St Martin's next month So will certainly drop by

First night. So far so excellent. Comfy beds, fabulous breakfast, really lovely hosts. 🌹🌹🌹

Great but need to book in advance and only open on some days!

Good fish and chips, the best on the island. We're just spoiled for excellent FnC

It's more about the venue than the actual fish and chips. Lovely undercover eating on the beautiful island of St Martins. Pretty average fish and chips, which wouldn't rate well on the main land. An opportunity to have a glass of wine (or tea) with the chips - which is nice.

Best fish and chips I ever had, nice fresh fish and proper chips. Booking highly recommended as gets very busy,

Food very good and tasty. Try the lobster scampi, fish freshly caught by the chef. Staff are very friendly.

I was quite disappointed with our night out here, the meal did not look or taste special. Which was a real shame because I think we were expecting something a bit more different. It wasn't bad, just not great. It wasn't helped by the fact no cornish cider was available not even the ubiquitous Rattler.

Probably the best fish and chips I've ever had. Great spot too, within a small farm and just below another great food stop. The home grown potatoes and line caught fish were expertly cooked and not oily, lovely crispy batter on the fish too. Would go again and again...

Great place, great food, great service

Wonderful fresh pollock for dinner

Fresh sustainably caught fish beautifully cooked, coupled with an apple crumble and custard to finish. What is better than that, well worth a visit.

Lovely food and the staff were really friendly

Fish freshly caught that day. Best chippie in the country.

Super fish and chips! Great friendly service. Had a scrumptious apple and blackberry crumble for dessert. Perfect even stroll on St Martin's 🌴💗

Best place in the Scillies for fish & chips

Dog friendly! Simple menu, but we enjoyed our food and atmosphere. Nice casual dining with helpful staff. Reservation required due to COVID-19 precautions.

Great fresh fish and what a location! Photo from boat back to St Mary's

we were scuba diving around the scilly Isles and anchored in the bay ,took the small zodiac to the shore and made our way to Adams fish shop .we all ordered the fish and chips 🍟 which was absolutely lovely. as there were 12 of us we had all fish for the Friday evening which meant there was nothing else for the locals lol.finished off with a couple of cold beers, great night all round 😀.

Wonderful spot, great food and atmosphere

Great fish and chips, burgers, and have to recommend the lobster tail scampi and chips. All local produce, really fresh. Book ahead!

We visited Adam's on the evening supper boat that goes to St Martin's from the quay at St Mary's twice weekly during the summer months. The food was great, reasonably priced and it is licensed so you can get a cold beer with your meal. There is an inside section and also plenty of seating outside under a canopy - very pleasant on a summer's evening. The short boat trip back to St Mary's as the sun set made for a perfect end to the evening.

The freshest fish you'll ever taste. A wonderful location, fuss free, order as you book a table. We will be returning on our next visit to st Martin's

This is a nice place to go for fish and chips, quality is pretty reasonable but it in not at the level of some award winning fish and chip shop I've been to (eg Arnside), normal Scilly prices (ie steep but reasonable considering location etc). This sound too negative it is not it is a nice good place, just not in my view five stars.

Fantastic fish and chips! Puddings are brill too

The best fish and chips I've ever had.

Great food evening well spent on boat and food.

Brilliant food, caught and cooked on the islands!

Lovely fresh seafood and friendly staff.

Great Scampi! Lovely Al fresco dining.

We had lobster scampi and were not impressed. Too much batter not enough or sometimes any lobster. Not great chips either.

Excellent food always enjoy my lobster scampie, staff are always lovely see you all next year 🤗🖒🐟

Freshly caught pollock or lobster just yards from the restaurant tastes as good as it gets, service can be a bit long but that is island life, you get used to it...

Very tasty fish and chips, excellent friendly staff, very efficient service in lovely garden setting, not your average chippy.

Award Winning Fish and Chips.Locally caught and organically grown food.Excellent menu with great choice in drinks.Very friendly and helpful proprietors and staff.Genuine warmth and buzz thus always very popular and busy thus essential to book in advance to avoid disappointment.Not too far from the Daymark and the more natural remoter part of this stunning island.

Best scampi I have ever had. Saying that though, given it was lobster that's not a surprise! Adam and Fe are fantastic hosts, and the fact Adam goes out fishing/catching lobsters definitely shows in the quality of the product. Chips were good too (which I believe they also grow the potatoes for), and really not that expensive. I would have been happy with 1/2 the amount for the £ we paid! Still managed to eat it all though, would have been criminal to let it go to waste

Wonderful meal tonight with very accommodating and friendly staff. Fish and chips was beautiful, gluten free option was no trouble and delicious. The sausages were yummy and you could taste that they were local. Very relaxing and lovely environment and we would thoroughly recommend it.

Best fish and chip shop on St Martin's... well, the only fish and chip shop... but still the best. Nice staff, fresh fish. Local spuds. Delicious. Book a table and enjoy. 🙂

Brilliant! Probably the best fish and chips in the world!

What can I say, we were looking forward to this and it didn't fail to deliver. I even saw the fish being loaded off the boat earlier that day. Excellent, best fish and chips in the world.....probably!

Virtually every local on the island eats here regularly (including me) and the majority of visitors to St Martin's eat here at least once during their holiday - some many times! The quality of food is excellent, presented as unpretentious and all using local ingredients. Well worth the walk, but remember to book in advance!
