Fish Shack in Northumberland

Lovely. I had the salmon. Sat in a hut.

Al fresco dining. Food was really fresh and tasty.

The seafood platter was very fresh and truly delicious. We came here with our English friends and had a wonderful time. Beautiful views of the coast. We highly recommend this restaurant. Go there with your eyes closed.

Poor. Scrappy hard chips and dry mushy peas.

Stunning fresh sea food great service

We sat in a beach hut which was so exciting! The service was attentive without being in your face and the food..... This is our third visit and it just gets better. Of all the dishes the monk fish was off the scale amazing. Also shout out to the chips which was tasty tatties! All great and well priced. Thank you

Delicious meal , I had the Squid with Asian Salad.

We all outside side in the sun lovely food very friendly staff and very helpfull would recommend well done

Absolutely superb, food was amazing, ate in one of the heated snacks, service was second to none. All in all very pleased😁😋

We visited for lunch. The service was informal, friendly and very efficient. The food was absolutely beautiful. Very fresh, tasty and wholesome. We shared some small plates to start followed by a chowder for my wife and the whole sea bream for me. Simply excellent. Would recommend.

Crab was excellent, service with a smile ☺️ and all very friendly.

Delicious food and friendly service

Outstanding fish shack in Amble by the harbour side. Always busy, particularly when the Sunday market is in nearby. Great fresh seafood.

Had a fantastic experience tonight - had one of the huts and it was so lovely. Carly was exceptional, as was Louise. The mussels and squid were particularly fantastic and they were really helpful with gluten free options (they have a gluten free fryer, gluten free bread, and can make most of the dishes gluten free - I was spoiled for choice). Highly recommend.

Fantastic lunch at the fish shack. A couple of small plates to share followed by the excellent main seafood dishes. Roasted whole seabass was fantastic. Staff really attentive and friendly. Fully recommend

We came here to one of the beach huts yesterday for my gran’s 90th birthday and absolutely loved it. The decoration inside the hut was beautiful and cosy. The staff were so pleasant I only wished I had of got their names. They wished my gran a happy birthday and didn’t charge her for her shandy which was very kind. They went above and beyond for us. The food was piping hot, fresh and so very delicious. I couldn’t recommend more and will definitely be back. Thank you again.

Had fish chowder with scone, it was lovely. Service by lovely lady with dark hair was very polite and quick.

Lovely food, friendly helpful staff

Good quality food, amazing service polite staff

The fish bites were quite poor. Basically a ball of batter. Wasnt impressed.

Delicious food, lovely service and great atmosphere - definitely go here if you're looking for a good bite to eat with a nice view!

Lovely location Great staff Didn't eat so couldn't comment on food

Great food wonderful staff dog friendly and local smashing x

Fantastic and special lunch in a lovely setting in Amble Harbour.

Had sea bream - slightly over cooked unfortunately.

Booked here for our first night in amble and a great place. There was 4 of us so i chose to dine in one of the outside pods which are converted garden sheds. Thats said don't let that put you off as they are nicely set out and there is a heater we liked being in there and theres a bell to get service. The waitress's was on it and very nice quickly coming to us when we wanted something so the service was very good. Our food choice was simple we went for the Fish Platter for 2 at £90 was it overpriced no I would recommend we didn't need starters a good selection on the platter. Everything was nice and tasty the prawns mussels oysters mackerel pate and the two types of smoked salmon and actually took some devouring but we managed.

We booked one of the outdoor huts this evening for us and our friends. We had three small children with us and the shack was absolutely perfect for enjoying our meal without causing chaos for other diners! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was incredible, the ladies that served us were so fantastic with our children and made our experience wonderful! We had squid, muscles, sardines, mackerel, burger and fish and chips with lovely children’s food too and it was all delicious and good value for money for the quality of the food.

Fab food ! Lovely atmosphere ! Busy place as everything is cooked fresh , but worth the wait ! Sea food platter was spectacular !

We had a fabulous late lunch at The Fish Shack, loved our little Hut 4 and the dogs were very welcome. Food was absolutely first class, the specials board was just amazing could have had it all! Great service and Jackie was so lovely, highly recommended the Brownie and my goodness it was the best. We will be back

Another great visit! This time with a dog … still great food … service and atmosphere … the chorizo sauce with the mussels is just great (if you like it a bit more spicy … ask for some additional chillies) 👍👍👍

We didn't dine here but walked next to it. Always looks like the food is outstanding.

Visited on a beautiful sunny evening but it went down hill from there. The service was absolutely shocking,the staff didn’t seem to have a clue what they we’re meant to be doing. It took twenty minutes to take drinks orders and another 30 minutes for food orders. Plus the Gulls we’re having a feast on all the un cleared tables even though there’s signs every where telling you not to feed them. The benches are now turned so on a table of four only two people have the lovely harbour view. Meaning that if a table of four arrive they split into two’s taking up more space outside. A really bad decision by the staff even though they’ve crammed in more tables! As for the food,as good as ever but the price of a crab salad at £30 is overly expensive. With service that bad try elsewhere! Jaspers is great and it just up the road.

We were in early for lunch on a glorious day so able to sit outside. The service was friendly and efficient and we were made to feel welcome. We both had the scallop special which was delicious. An interesting combination with mushrooms and wafer thin crisp ham. We were here several years ago and we would say the menu has expanded and the overall experience was better. This area of Amble has seen a transformation over recent years.

Brilliant lunch at The Fish Shack in Amble.

Me and my husband stumbled across the shack along with my in-laws and our 2 dogs. The dogs were no issue and the lady who served us was extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough! We were just stopping for a drink and sweet treat but quickly changed our minds after seeing the men and for sure we did not regret this! Fantastic board of seafood!

We had a great experience whilst dining at the Fish Shack, food was delicious, staff were very attentive. Will definitely return at a later date. Thank you.

Absolutely delicious haddock and chips The menu had a large size,but they were able to provide a small size, which was very generously proportioned. The fish was perfectly cooked,batter amazing, chips fantastic, proper tartar sauce and mushy peas. Dog friendly. Highly recommended.

Our first visit to the Fish Shak today. Staff is very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. We were given a seat relatively quickly inside the shack, ordered the large beer battered haddock with double cooked chips, mushy peas 🫛 😋 and small langoustine. Both meals were absolutely delicious 😋 hot and well presented.

Great place, great food, and great staff. The front of house staff were brilliant (Michelle in particular), so welcoming, friendly, and local, which is always good. We had large portions of Haddock, Chips and Mushy Peas, served with homemade Tartar Sauce and Lemon. The chips were homemade, cut from potatoes still in their skins. Everything was exceptional, and my Gluten Free meal was about the best fish and chips I have had anywhere. Service was fast and efficient from start to finish. We will definitely visit again when next in Amble. Highly recommended.

We have eaten here several times and it is exceptional fresh seafood over looking the harbour in a private ‘hut’ if you request and so delicious and reasonably priced

Absolutely gorgeous, fresh sea food with fresh sea air and a sea view.

Was expecting so much more….. ok, a busy Sunday lunchtime service on a sunny day…. Ok, when you would expect to be at the busiest. From seated to food was around an hour. Didn’t help that the other half’s order, they’d run out of anchovies so had to change her choice. Another 20+ mins for food. Hers arrives, sides arrive…. Mine nowhere to be seen and turned up slightly under 10 mins later. Food, the Haddock fish bites tasted very like cod, but with very poor catering tater sauce, at their prices, I would expect real tartare sauce. Wild mushroom flatbread was tasteless, with small button mushrooms and possibly some stems of oyster? Either way, very poor and tasteless. Yes, being a veggie at a “fish shack” I am limited in choice, but this was very poor. Anyway, asked for an alcohol free beer, got a full fat…. Toilets, messy, a little smelly and for all you ladies out there, expect to hover as I wouldn’t have sat on it. Would I go back, no. Would I recommend, no. There so much better choices within a few mins walk, albeit without as good a view, but I’d rather stare at a brick wall and have good tasty food.

Great seafood and friendly service

Fantastic food, friendly, attentive staff and a lovely ambience.

Brilliant thanks for your help fitting us all in your boat room. And thanks again for going out of your way to find extra seats. Your food was amazing as always and I'm sure we will be back as we love Amble and your food.

A huge disappointment. 5 star to less than 1 star in two years. Overpriced and long wait for poor, cold, overcooked food. The drinks were fine. The staff kept on a brave face but must know the issues.

Delicious seafood, friendly service and fab vibes. Just love this place.

We had a really tasty meal here after a very lovely lady from The Boathouse booked a table for us. Seafood boil..amazing. Sea bream...delicious. Scallops...very tasty. Highly recommended. Thanks again to the waitress.

Great food ,accommadated when very busy,the huts are a great idea staff and food amazing

A wonderful evening. Welcoming staff and a comfortable booth shed set the scene Throughout the evening, Louise, jackie and the rest of the team couldn't do enough to make sure we had a great time. The mounds of mussels and langoustines were a challenge, the finer foods a tasty triumph. I would not hesitate to dine here again!

Fantastic food. Lovely place right by the harbour.

Ok but nothing special, lovely location but fish & chips average. Chips were overcooked, fish ok . Pricey for what you get . Plus a service charge is added too .

Lovely little place all staff friendly welcoming . Chowder on the tapas meal must try

Absolutely unreal, service was amazing, food was delicious, views are atmospheric. Special shout out to the manager as she was very lovely!!

What a meal. The service and food was simply superb. We pre booked the table but arrived early, very accommodating to change the time, even thou very busy. The food was superb. Super friendly staff. Not to be missed. The new fish pizza, oh my God, delicious

Dropped in for coffee, wished we'd had time for a meal!!!!

Very good sea food well worth a vist

Very pleasant and quiet food good.

Went for dinner and had the sharing fish platter - what a place. We had a great time, the food was stunning and the atmosphere was outstanding. I can't compliment the place enough. Will go again 10/10

£50 for undercooked chips and four drinks. An underwhelming experience, topped off by a 10% non-discretionary service charge pre-applied.

Really nice place the food is great tho a little pricey

Lovely stop on a long walk thank you

Lovely place on the front on Amble. Really great atmosphere and the staff were friendly and great help. Amazing menu and presented well. Well worth the visit

One of the best seafood platter in north east.. its a must try if you are seafood lover and the huts are so cosy and the vibe of the restaurant jus makes everything to perfect… the service was outstanding….

The Best of the Best 👌 Food and Service is unbelievable!!! Staff absolutely brilliant 👏 many thanks 😊

Very very nice.... asher made us feel welcome, everyone was kind and friendly! Please don't miss out!

Lovely location, service and atmosphere. Very helpful with meeting allergy needs. Great food. Not cheap but excellent quality.

We stopped off here for a pint and bite to eat, lovely spot we would highly recommend. The only reason for the four stars on the food was there was no poached egg in the chowder, although it was still 🙂.

Booked today & was not disappointed. Fabulous food for 2 & service. Shared a starter then fish dish each for mains

Perfect fish and chips experience. We very much enjoyed the dining huts which suited our nervous dog very well. The quality of the food and service was excellent. Will definitely return.

Very welcoming service, beautiful food, in a quirkily lit lovely atmisphere

Fabulous food and pretty environment. Set in the most picturesque place, you can even book little private sheds which have been decorated so you can eat by yourselves.

Good Fish and chips Definitely need to book.

Lovely little restaurant, great food

Had the seafood sharing platter which was amazing. It was the wife's birthday so asked if we could go in ons of the cabins really cosy and romantic. Will definitely be going again

Amazing sea food restaurant The haddock chowder is something else 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍

Highly recommended! Nice service. Excellent food. Moderate prices. Great location.

Chowder was excellent as were the Langostines!

Lovely food, and even lovelier staff! Would highly recommend if you're a seafood lover and/or a fan of extraordinary customer service ♥️

Simply great staff, and great food.

Great fish restaurant, warm,cosy and inviting lovely view over the harbour, coffee ☕️ was lovely staff are so friendly. I would definitely recommend a visit 😊

Lovely rustic venue, relaxed atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food was delicious. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area!

Amazing seafood spot! The food and atmosphere were fabulous! We love that this restaurant is dog friendly and the staff are super friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

Fabulous staff went on the off chance as we’d just arrived and the fish shack did not disappoint food delicious great atmosphere and choice. very cosy

The service was exceptional. A really nice feel to the place. Fantastic views. Probably the best fish and chips I have ever had. We will defiantly be returning when in the area.

We were recommended the fish shack and it definitely was as good as we had been led to believe it to be. The smoked haddock fish chowder was delicious and all the other dishes coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. The staff were all very helpful and very friendly. We arrived without a booking and they found a table for us, though it was a cold Monday in February. I would recommend booking a table.

Sorry disappointed. Most courses except plain fish dishes have far too many ingredients which obliterate the lovely natural flavours of the fish. Not necessary less is more. Ill go back in a years time and report back. The same applied to the Boat House 2 years ago.

3rd time here, made the mistake of ordering the fish platter, definitely not worth 90£. Food previously has been excellent but this really lets the place down.

A massive Thank you to the WHOLE team at the Fish Shack at Amble... 90th birthday party today was perfect! Food, atmosphere, service and hospitality was spot on... Highly recommend

One of the best seafood platters we had ever. It has a nice mix - dressed crab, whole roasted sea bream, mussels, tiger prawns..etc. Also perfectly cooked and reasonably priced, great staff and dog friendly too. Highly recommended, probably we’re coming back again soon x

Fantastic and friendly seafood restaurant offering a great selection of locally sourced seafood that is excellent quality, perfectly cooked and reasonably priced, it has a cosy rustic interior with the added advantage of being dog friendly, it’s always busy so booking is recommended.

What a find! Food exceptional and service warm and personable. Said to partner to sum up in a word, he gave two - excellent, beautiful!

As usual, a really good meal, good service, too.

Excellent array of options on the menu. We opted for a selection of tapas and each was excellent. The cod bites were so crispy and delicious that we’ve decided to have a main portion fish and chips next time. It gets busy, even in January, so it’s worth booking to avoid disappointment. Really friendly service.

The food was superb! Our palates were in heaven I must say..

Table for 4 at the fish shack today overlooking the harbour very welcoming cosy place excellent fish and chips and service. Will be back very soon.

Excellent fresh seafood, great atmosphere and very kind staff.

Chowder was great as well as lemon cream brulle. Cold stuffed crab was a bit disappointing....

Great private shack to have an intimate family meal. Food and service were both amazing

Very disappointed. The saving grace for haddock and chips was the batter. We consider the food to be overpriced. The fish was dry/old (the fish shop selling that days catch is on the harbour) the salad soggy (had been stored too long in the fridge) and chips looked/tasted many times fried. I was really looking fwd to eating here as had great experience with previous owners.
