Fresh From The Sea in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Why not update your website if you are now closed for the winter ??? After checking the menu and checking you were open until 4pm on your website We walked up the hill to find a sign saying closed for Winter The crab cove was open and we had an amazing sandwich full of delicious crab for £13.95 Poor show Fresh from the sea

Dropped in for a light lunch and we were not disappointed. We had the crab and lobster sandwich, with the freshest shellfish you can get, washed down with a cold glass of Picpoul. Heaven!

We called into this small establishment after seeing it via a friends review, what a great result. The lobster & crab open sandwich is amazing, so fresh and delicious. We will definitely recommend this to friends & family

Most definitely the best Crab and Lobster sandwiches we have ever had, or simply the best sandwiches we have ever had. Very fresh, with a squeeze of lemon and a nice bit of salad. Some people will think they are expensive for what they are. But we appreciate the work that goes into catching them fresh from the bay and the preparation before making the sandwiches. We will definitely be back for another helping

Had the best crab sandwich we have ever eaten from here. Didn’t eat in but walked up to admire the view over Port Isaac but will book a table next visit. Highly recommend.

Excellent find. Never spotted this place before. Lovely friendly local team and everything was indeed fresh from the sea. Always good to find somewhere small and local to support. We will be back with the next visitors who want to see Doc Martin's house!

Beautiful location , lovely staff , fresh fish and dog friendly, definitely go back on next trip 😊

We had the Lobster and Crab open sandwich at ‘Fresh from the Sea’!! Lovely food and the staff couldn’t be more helpful especially providing water for our dog!! Highly recommended!!👍

We had the seafood feast, in the courtyard, it was brilliant. The seafood is all caught by the associated boat in Port Isaac, and cooked simply to let the ingredients do the talking. The service is really friendly and for the feast they bring top ups of bread, butter and mayonnaise if you need. The only downside is there are no toilet facilities for customers, you have to use the public ones in the car park down the road.

Un angolo di paradiso! Ottimo cibo, location particolare ,le pietanze erano preparate al momento sotto i nostri occhi. Pesce fantastico e appena pescato! Il panino con la lobster è indimenticabile! Personale gentile e veloce! Bravi!

Absolutely brilliant place for lunch. From the moment we walked in the staff were there to hold our hands and guide us to ordering the most beautiful lunch. Yes it was busy, good places always are. We had booked a table inside due to the weather not being great, however it didn’t dampen our eating experience as it was excellent. Way superior to outlaws just down the road and a fraction of the price. Ladies, well done. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Brilliant spot for an amazing lunch. Totally next level compared to the so called fine dining place down the road. The ladies were just so friendly, helping to choose a perfect meal. 10 out of 10 the food was delicious. I would be back in a heartbeat.

Very disappointing and overpriced crab sandwich take away, minimal amount of crab and filled out with salad leaves. I would not go back.

Perfect place to stop off for a quick meal with fresh local produce! We sat outside in the sun and enjoyed a good mix of crab and lobster, and I even stretched to trying their Porthilly Oysters, which were fresh and tasty! Would definitely recommend and definitely go back if we ever get back to Port Isaac.

Fantastic quality fresh seafood! Amazing crab sandwiches and also some lovely gifts. Quite expensive but you do get what you pay for!

£15 for a very ordinary crab sandwich - Not much crab and worth it!

I experienced the freshest lobster & crab I've ever had. We were lucky enough to get a table when we arrived. The food was fantastic & a bonus knowing it was landed just a few minutes away.

We were passing through but I must say we enjoyed an excellent fish and chip. Fast service and excellent food.

We loved fresh, quality product in a charming place.

We bought two dressed lobsters to take away and they were so delicious! Great service. Friendly, efficient and overall lovely positive experience.

A most amazing place to eat. Fresh lobster caught by Callum!! Edith who served me helped me tackle my first ever lobster...such wonderful service... Go!!! Just go and eat there!!!! This was my treat for walking the S. W. COAST PATH Will come back here...for sure!!!

We tried to call here for a drink, when my wife asked very politely if that was ok, she was met with a tut and a sigh, and we were directed to a table. 5 mins later another waitress came across and asked us to leave as we weren't ordering any food!! Even though we made that very clear when we entered! Left feeling like we were just an inconvenience. There are lots of other places to eat and drink in the Port, this is one I will never be going back to.

Delicious lobster and excellent salmon 👌 I recommend ++++

As other reviewers have said: Do you like seafood and not being charged an arm and a leg? Then pop in here 😁

We visit Fresh From The Sea every year and love it. The food is simply delicious, caught fresh from their own boat and served beautifully. The staff and service are fantastic - just lovely people. And the atmosphere is great, sat in the nice little courtyard in the sunshine. Can't get any better.

Amazing! So glad to have gone to Port Isaac specifically for this cafe. It’s wonderful. Great customer service and the crab and lobster open sandwich was to die for. As was the smoked salmon sandwich. Prosecco was wonderful. Everything was so tasty and fresh! Their apple and cinnamon cake with clotted cream was heavenly! Honestly- thank you so much! Well done!!!!

I had the half lobster Salad it was amazing. I was apprehensive about cracking the claws etc but the lovely ladies were helpful and so encouraging about how to do it and it was actually quite easy!.

Lovely place, lovely staff. Great ipa!

Had lunch here today. Had Mackerel salad and hubby had open crab and lobster sandwich. Both were excellent. Best mackerel I have ever had. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Don't get the crab sandwich, go to the black next door. For £17 I got a sandwich with about a spoon full of filling. For £18 at the black my brother got a large crab and lobster roll that was literally twice the size!

Stumbled on this absolute gem by chance and the universe was definitely shining down along with the sunshine! The lobster and crab open sandwich was an absolute triumph of flavours. Super fresh lobster and crab, seasoned mayo and a fresh side salad. Highly recommend a visit to anyone in the area who appreciates great food and great service

Absolutely love this place & the freshness of their seafood. Pricey for a seafood platter, but worth every penny 👍🏼

Popped in here on the off chance having looked up several places to eat in the area, the staff were immediately accommodating and very friendly. Ordered the seafood feast, they weren't kidding it was a very fine feast, beautifully presented freshly local caught sensational seafood. Super friendly with our furry friend too.highly recommend and definitely worth the travel from the Isle of wight. 🥰

Really lovely food and staff, a real jem.

Really lovely little place. The ladies working there were super helpful and boxed everything up on ice for our trip home. Some tasteful gifts as well as scrumptious food and coffee. Yes it’s a little on the pricey side but supporting the local economy and getting quality is worth the uplift!

We stopped by here for late lunch, crab sandwich and lobster sandwich, both excellent. Warm welcome, friendly staff and competitive pricing, with nice outside seating. Seafood was great quality, very fresh and tasty. House wine also good. Other things on the menus looked good too, so will have to go back one day. Recommend.

We visited this restaurant/cafe as it had been recommended to us for a crab lunch. First impressions were ok, we sat inside which was a little cramped but the decor was pretty much what you’d expect for a sea side cafe. It is VERY expensive but nonetheless we ordered sandwiches, cake & coffee. In fairness the coffee and cake was ok but the crab sandwiches were a disappointment considering how expensive they were (very little crab, mostly salad to fill it out). At this point I’d have rated it 3/5 but what we witnessed whilst eating was truly appalling…a middle aged woman who we were informed was the owner literally bawled out a younger member of staff in front of customers. Her language was disgusting. We paid up, left and will not be returning.

A bit disappointed because it was closed when we visited, even Google Maps said it was open. We saw a notice on the shop window saying that it was closed for the winter and would start fishing in March. Hope they could put up that notice on their website or notify Google Maps that they were temporarily closed.

5 stars all the way. Popped in after hiking for a massive fresh crab sandwich and a dressed crab. Wow! Delicious. The lady who served me was so very nice. I really enjoyed my food.

Do you like sea food? Go here. We had the sea food platter it was amazing. Served very quickly. Excellent service. Very friendly. Seats outside and inside. Dogs allowed. Sometimes the menu changes due to what they get in. Would go again.

The lobster sandwich was amazing. Not the cheapest but definitely worth it

We asked for a lobster for a picnic. We got the best lobster ever. So fresh and so sweet. Best lobster ever. Perfectly prepared. The service was extremely friendly and helpful. Top notch and a must visit!

Understated, quirky, friendly seafood cafe serving great seafood with smiles. Not cheap.

Great food shop, selling fish caught by their own trawler. Had monkfish chowder, which I had for my evening meal. It was absolutely delicious! Will be back before I head home... the lobsters and crabs looked fabulous! They also do great coffees!

Good food, expensive but good. Ladies working were very pleasant.

Brilliant food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere, and banging takeaways. Small but perfectly formed. I had lobster and oysters all freshly cooked and caught. Thankyou for a lively lunch

With my visit to Port Isaac I collected my usual take away portion of Chowder from Fresh from the sea..I knew it was freshly made as I phoned up that morning and they were making it ... the ladies were friendly and the food was to die for

Called to ensure they had seafood chowder available. Put me a portion aside to collect , luckily they did as it sold out later . This was monkfish chowder which was absolutely gorgeous full of flavour and well worth the 2 hour drive to collect . Ladies were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble . Don't miss this hidden gem in Port isaac x

Absolutely loved the Crab and Lobster sandwich! It was delicious 😋

This is the best seafood spot in north cornwall and we've been to a few. Great service and atmosphere. The food was so delicious if we weren't full we could have kept eating. This is a must go to place.

Lovely little seafood stop after a long coastal walk. Fresh seafood caught locally and served in an uncomplicated way. Dog friendly :) Decent drinks selection and a food menu that will make it hard to choose. Lobster and crab open sandwich (£19) had a very generous amount of both on there and food value for money down to this. Lacked a little in seasoning personally but we added some of the sea salt and pepper available to our tastes. Some lovely local goods to purchase in the shop too and cakes if you aren’t full yet! (Didn’t try any) Excellent customer service, friendly and helpful. The thing I was most impressed about was on buying some mackerel pate and dressed crab to take home I was asked if I had far to travel and was I able to keep it cold/did I need a bag of ice? I’ve bought fresh seafood many times and not once have I been asked this question. Many obliviously buy fresh seafood and travel with it for hours or leave it in a warm car just not thinking about how it should be stored to keep it safe. (As a food professional this is always top of my agenda). I was really impressed. Small things make a huge difference. Would return.

One can’t visit Port Isaac without getting a crab sandwich. And there are no better crab sandwiches than from Fresh from the sea ! Ok £14 may seem a lot but you pay for quality ! You could get a Tesco crab sticks sandwich for £5 , but that isn’t crab. It is flavoured pollock . If you like crab then visit this little gem of a sandwich bar. It’s at the top of the hill on the main road through the village.

Got a lobster and crab takeaway. Good service and value for money.

Purchased 2 x crab sandwiches and have to say they were the nicest we have ever had. So fresh. Would definitely recommend

We had the whole lobster, it was beautiful! Lovely little place, very friendly staff.

Lovely fresh seafood served by very friendly family. The lobster/crab were some of the best we tasted whilst in Cornwall and testament to the freshness.

Lovely fresh food and great friendly service

What an amazing find! We wanted some fresh seafood and we found it. They have their own fishing boat and everything comes from their hauls. We had whole lobster with bread and a glass of Prosecco - AMAZING The team were just so friendly and made us feel really welcome. It’s a teeny place but they do it so well Simple menu, straight forward dishes done to perfection

Piccolo ristorante di pesce, specializzato in granchi e lobster. Cibo fresco, simpatia e prezzi contenuti. In due, mangiando mezzo lobster, un’insalata di granchio e 4 ostriche buonissime, con una birra locale abbiamo speso ca 70 €. Consigliatissimo.

If you want fresh crab lobster and other goodies this is the place

We came first time just after covid and tried the crab sandwich. It was delicious and decided to come as soon we can again. So we did last week. The best part was now we could sit all fresco. Enid served us also everyone was attentive nice and helpful. The tables clean no leftovers/plates as they cleaning up soon you left. Well recommended and worth to eat there too. J&Z

I am so glad we took an alternative route back to the car. We stopped in for crab sandwiches to takeaway.The sandwiches were amazing,delicious and I loved the presentation. And my youngest daughter also raved about the ham sandwich. We will definitely back for more especially because the service was so good.

On a recent visit to Port Isaac we popped in here at 14:45 for tea coffee and cake as on previous visit we where well impressed with the place but unfortunately on this visit we met a very unfriendly rude middle aged waitress who refused point blank to serve us saying only lunches being served we left went next door to The Black Wine Bar and Cafe and where treated like royalty by the super friendly and attentive 2 male members of staff.

Deary me the rude unfriendly middle aged waitress really needs a word with herself, we recently popped in for tea coffee and cake at 14:45 as visited here many years ago and was impressed but unfortunately we met the waitress in question who rudely refused to serve us stating lunches only we left went next door to the The Black Wine Bar and Cafe and the super friendly and attentive 2 male members of staff treated us like royalty.

Top quality sea food. I had a crab roll and a lobster and crab open sandwich: both were outstanding. Service was friendly: we had a load of push chairs with us and they were helpful in getting us sorted. Local beers in the fridge. Only issue is they don't have a toilet but it is tiny. Worth going out of your way for this one it's great.

A small local seafood produce cafe serving simple but freshly caught lobster, crab etc sandwiches caught from their own boat. We actually saw the current catch being delivered. You will not get fresher and therefore tastier than this!

We visited this establishment, hoping to purchase hot drinks and cakes, to eat at the tables outside. We were told that as it was lunchtime, the time was 2.10pm, we could only have lunch. This response, whilst strange, was not the problem. The problem, was, the attitude of the server and the extremely rude manner in which she spoke to us as potential customers. If these people do not want to serve "tourists", they need to find a more professional way of letting them know. I was disgusted and extremely annoyed. Good manners cost nothing, and this establishment could do to learn this!

Rude & unfriendly staff member , our day out in Port Isaac was marred by the middle aged waitress who refused to serve us afternoon coffees and cakes at 2.35pm as it was lunch time apparently and needed to serve her crabs on her two empty tables, so we went elsewhere and on our return she had 4 empty tables! Lost out on a £30 sale, obviously not dog friendly on the terrace as we had 2 well behaved dogs with us, This woman obviously is in the wrong job !

Let me firstly say how much hubby and me enjoyed our takeaway crab sandwiches … yes, we knew how much we were paying - however £29.98 for two plain bread sandwiches? Really? Maybe delicious - but mad!!!!!

We wet to this place last August for a fresh crab sandwich it was sold out only a lobster roll available. OMG I still remember that beautiful sweet lobster so a year on all the way from Edinburgh we are here again and we were not disappointed. CRAB salad and lobster salad shared with a wonderful glass of picpoul white wine to die for .Scale of 1 to 10 fish ten .Only thing I'd improve is the dressing on the salad I found it a little sharp possibly a choice could be offered. Would I go again in a heart beat . CRAB and i mean gorgeous white meat and salad £22.50 .Lobster salad out of the shell £ 24.50 glass of wine 175mls £5.75 if you are visiting Port Isaac is highly recommend you book as it is a small venue

Wonderful if you like shellfish. Lovely service. Minimal seating . We went for lunch for 4 people (1 child). Excellent meal, very fresh.

Popped in for a lunch time snack. Ordered a lobster sandwich and a crab sandwich. Shared a half of each with the wife. We both agreed the crab sandwich was amazing, but the lobster sandwich was another level. Caught locally and steamed. Going back for seconds today!

This place is simply outstanding if you like crab, lobster, and oysters. I’ve never had better seafood and today’s Porthilly oysters were some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s actually a very informal and friendly setting but with top notch service and food that easily surpasses anything you’d get in higher end restaurants. We sat outside under a sunshade so were lucky as the sun was hot today. They have a few more tables but not all have parasols so perhaps that’s a suggestion for improvement. I feel bad saying that though because I love this place and their food.

This is a fantastic place to eat We all had lobster cooked to perfection with lots of lovely brown bread and butter. Great value for money All our party enjoyed it Would highly recommend Staff are brilliant and very friendly

Stopped here before we headed off for our walkabout around Port Isaac. We had lovely fresh crab & ham sandwiches/salad. Very friendly service.

Visited today after seeing amazing reviews online. We visited bang on 12pm to order takeaway so we could enjoy at our holiday home in the sunshine as Port Isaac was busy. I ordered myself and my husband a crab sandwich and half a lobster salad...

Really lovely fresh sandwiches sitting in the sun. What more could I ask for

What a great little place. We also bought some fresh fish that we cooked. Well, it's worth a visit if you love fish and seafood.

Very fresh. You have to let yourself be advised by the daily specials.

Excellent little restaurant, just right for a light lunch before walking up and down Port Issac. Food was delicious and service was excellent.

The seafood here is very fresh and good. We made a second visit, especially for their seafood. Our visit this time was marred by the fact that one of our party had a hair in their food. We appreciate that this was unfortunate, and it was dealt with well. That persons food was removed from our bill. It just put us off a bit. This is the only reason for 4 stars. Our previous visit last year would definitely have been 5 star.

Great crab ham and cheese sandwiches. Good wine and coffee. Friendly attentive staff. Will happily return. Dog friendly a real sun trap.

Every time I come to Port Isaac this place is a must! Customer service is warm and welcoming and the oysters....OMG! DELICIOUS!!

Much like the name of the shop. We ordered some oysters and a dressed crab Oysters were ice cold and super fresh and the dressed crab was also so so fresh. Definitely worth a stop for a quick bite

A bus trip to Port Isaac...stopped here for lunch...home made fish cakes a d salad it was delicious. Coffee is good too.

Absolutely wonderful . Very friendly staff . Very attentive and courteous. Best lobster ever . Half the price compare to London. Finally someone who knows how to cater and delivers the best . Well done . Keep it up

Absolutely amazing, best crab and lobster open sandwich ever, so fresh and generous portions. Lovely friendly staff and even did our 2 grandsons who are very picky a plain ham sandwich with cucumber on the side, which they declared was the best ever. Still salivating over it 2 days later!! Thank you.

Needed something to take away for my tea- had the seafood and avo salad. Was asked if I needed bread and butter, cutlery, dressing was out separate so the salad would remain fresh. When I ate it a couple of hours later it was delish.

Great place to spend some time out of the rain!

We always make sure we pick up some fresh fish from here when we are staying in the area - the lemon sole is always divine! You can always pick some wild garlic from the way down to Port Gaverne to go with it...

Great food and service. Had home made crab soup. Delicious. Tables inside and out. Tends to be quite cool outside. Can be breezy. Take a sweater just in case.

Back again after a year and happy to say this place is still amazing. Hope to come every year and enjoy the delicious fresh lobster as part of exploring beautiful Cornwall. Absolutely delicious and super fresh lobster sandwich in a pretty setting.

Their google entry said they were open. Drove all the way there only to find that they close for winter

My favourite lunchtime sandwich would always be crab , in a cafe or restaurant or take away so it’s fair to say I’ve had a few!! Attending an art exhibition and knowing my family fancied Cornish Pasties on the beach ( which I don’t eat)...

I have been going to this cafe for the past 10 years plus. Its a very small place but full of love & care that they put into this place. Food is fresh, delicious, good price and most of all very welcoming. Only one thing that will stop me from going there is death. Even when I moved back to London 4 years ago, I still go to this restaurant eveeytime I come to Cornwall. Its a must for me. Well done to Calumn his wife and to the team. Can't wait to see you all again at the spring.

Visited here on a mizzle filled day, for a bite to eat and a coffee. Gorgeous food, great customer service. I will certainly be back soon!

We stopped for lunch at this lovely little courtyard restaurant. The staff were cheerful and friendly and the food was delicious.

Lovely family run, small, friendly and perfectly formed seafood and fish cafe/restaurant. We had delicious prawn open sandwiches, the lobster salad, local beer and a cream tea. Recommend for freshly caught seafood in a relaxed setting

Visited last year and just had to come back whilst staying in the village for the week. Fantastic fresh seafood, fantastic friendly service. Brilliant atmosphere sitting outside. An absolute must if visiting. Just such a shame we didn’t have time to revisit during our week....
