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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Definately worth a visit, not on the tourist trail but if you want an excellent meal in beautiful surroundings, but not swarming with tourists this is the place to go. Lovely couple who are running it, fantastic welcome and probably the best 'Pub' curry that my husband has tasted. I had the salmon teriyaki which was flavour-some and filling. Lovely garden to sit in when the suns out.
