Fresh From the Sea in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Visited this establishment for lunch today. And what a find! The freshest seafood as the title suggests, staffed by the friendliest of staff. Wife had lobster, crab and avocado salad with a Sicilian lemonade to drink. I had a lobster and crab open sandwich with a bottle of cider. We were served by a lovely lady who was the owners mother and had filled in on a busy bank holiday Monday. She was delightful. This establishment is outstanding and I can’t recommend it enough !!

Great little cafe, lovely fresh food (especially the crab ) and excellent service) Try and grab a lunch here, well worth it and the best sandwiches for miles around

This was the best meal we had in Port Isaac, the Monkfish Chowder was impeccable and the wine was perfectly paired with the food

We booked so we could get a table. The lobster, crab and advacado salad was fantastic. Washed down with a cappuccino and coffee cake. Highly recommended.

Ate here for lunch on holiday in Port Issac. Tastey fresh seafood food, great staff, definitely a recommendation from me.

Nothing beats the delicious fresh crab sandwiches here, an absolute must. Friendly service. If the weather is okay, one can sit outside as well.

I cannot rate this establishment enough. Wow! I had the oysters and a salmon sandwich… both just fresh and tasty and mouth-wateringly good. He had the crab/lobster/avocado open sandwich! Just watching him eat it told me all I needed to know!!! Quality and quantity Had planned to go the following day but poured with rain and as we have a dog it was a no for us. Totally understand why dogs aren’t allowed inside as it is a small establishment. Staff were so friendly and so helpful at giving us suggestions of where to go etc. I was very sad we’d not found this little gem at the beginning of our break.

The food was lovely but a bit overpriced and the portions weren't overly generous. We had monkfish chowder at £16.50 but it was more like a starter. It tasted nice.

Just wanted a coffee with friends and a rather rude lady told us a flat no , we had to have a meal !!!!

Amazing service, polite, friendly and helpful staff. Delicious food, so fresh and tasty, and the portions are very generous. Well worth a visit, your taste buds wil thank you!

Once again delicious lobster sandwich (our reason to visit Port Isaac) . Look forward to this each year. More power to your elbow

Popped in today, sat outside Nice warm welcome Quick service, nicely served We had crab soup & cheese salad, both were very good Friendly service

Had Crab twice from here. Very fresh and tasty. Lovely bread too which you can buy loaves of. Lovely friendly staff. Defo go here if in the area.

What a perfect lunch, freshly caught and cooked lobster with salad alongside a good glass of wine. Lovely team who offer friendly efficient service. A great lunch and worth a visit if in the area.

This is just the most wonderful little cafe. A table outside on a hot day, with a crab sandwich and a glass of wine has to be the perfect experience! Friendly and hardworking staff, great fresh food.

Great takeaway. COVID controls good but rather limited menu. Soup was on the menu and pretty much the best option. No lobster, no crab.

Became quite addicted to Fresh from the Sea salad whilst visiting Port Isaac. Lobster Sandwiches; Crab Salads; Lobster, Crab and Avocado Pots too! So much to choose from. Exceptionally fresh, and tasty. Well worth a visit!

My daughter bought crab sandwiches as a present to celebrate our wedding anniversary knowing how much we love Fresh from the Sea produce. They were as lovely as ever. Thank you for helping to make our day so special.

A range of sandwiches and cakes to take away - pre-ordering not essential, but recommended. Friendly service.

You will need to reserve a place. This is a small cafe and although there is an attractive overspill into the courtyard in summer it's better to rely on the limited space inside. And why would you go to all that trouble? To get the best crab sandwich on this stretch of North Cornwall. Thoroughly recommended

Fantastic as usual, as a promise I visited with my seafood mad grandson, who absolutely loved it, by far the best, lovely staff, in the most perfect place in north Cornwall

Open crab and lobster sandwich .....I think so ..... My advice would be if the hustle and bustle down in the bay is a bit much , chill out and relax here.

Asqueados por el turismo barato Tintagel, decidimos cambiar de planes y movernos a otro pueblo costero a comer.La casualidad nos llevó a Port Isaac donde vimos esta terracita tranquila.Las señoras que regentan el restaurante nos hicieron sentir muy a gusto y nos recomendaron unos platos deliciosos.

Been going here for the past 5 years for their Crab sandwiches. As the name suggests the food is fresh as they have their own boat. Great place but as it is small(especially if raining rules outside seats) you need to be organised.

We love Fresh from the Sea and always try to include a visit when we are in North Cornwall. The fresh crab and lobster you can get, all beautifully prepared and served in this tiny cafe.......This time we were staying self catering locally and had 'take away', a sandwich for my OH and Crab Salad for me.....there was a backlog of orders so we were instructed to 'have a browse around the shops' and they would come and find us, which they did 5 minutes later....excellent service ! Thoroughly

Best lobster we,ve ever tasted absolutely scrumptious cooked to order so fresh and yummy would definetly n recommend

1st day of trip, first crab sandwiches and some yummy cake too!Friendly ladies gave us an engaging welcome and chatted about local fishing challenges (endulged a pretentious city foodie!). Great crab soup, fresh crab sarnies and some lovely Victoria sponge to boot. Delighted to give our trade to a traditional family business delivering quality fresh fish ‘from boat to table’. Recommended .. just don’t the road from Outlaw’s main restaurant so easy to find above port isaac. Try the Padstow cider too!

Love coming here after walking our dogs. Great crab sandwiches with a glass of wine, fish and crab soup to take back to our cottage. Very friendly service..

Just as it ‘says on the tin’ - fish caught straight from the sea and served in the cafe or sold over the counter for you to cook at home. Recommend the smoked mackerel pate and crab soup.

A trip to Cornwall wouldn’t be complete without a crab sandwich so gave this little cafe a try and couldn’t of hoped for better. We sat outside with our dogs and received table service from a very friendly and chatty waitress. The sandwiches were very tasty and had a nice selection of drinks to accompany them, the only negative would be it was a tad expensive but hey it’s worth supporting small local businesses. Well worth a visit! Love from Cheese and Ham and The Crabettes ;-)

Wonderful crab sandwich, not messed about with, followed by perfect lemon drizzle.Coffee also excellent.A Waitrose Good Food Guide "local gem". It certainly is!

We had a great casual lunch in this small but great place for fresh, uncomplicated seafood/fish

We were advised that they had the best crab sandwiches in Cornwall, so we went to see if they were the best crab sandwiches in Cornwall. Guess what. They are the best crab sandwiches in Cornwall.

Visited here with my wife and as a midlander I was keen to try the crab sandwich, given they rightly boast of the crab being freshly caught.

I have to start by saying that the staff here is extremely helpful and friendly. Just off the bus I went in to ask for directions and ended up staying for lunch. A divine lobster salad and a cold beer, just like the Doctor prescribed. The place is small but this just adds to its great atmosphere. Good food and good prices

A fabulous little bolt hole serving local fresh seafood. The dressed crab with bread and butter was presented well and tasted as good as it looked. Coupled with a local beer, it brought the taste of Cornwall straight to the pallet.

Un pequeño café donde el personal es amable y los bocadillos de cangrejo son hechos a la orden. Toda la comida se ve muy bien preparados y en las tres ocasiones en que he dejado aquí el año pasado, otros clientes eran igualmente satisfechos.

Firstly the crab soup was simply amazing!! Also they had a whole range of shell fish and fresh fish. The poached lobster was also very tasty but a little pricy, guess it's a seasonal business. Would definitely recommend this place. Also the view is astonishing.

The lovely staff welcomed us as soon as we went into the cafe. The fresh crab sandwiches were delicious. We can thoroughly recommend this little cafe for its wonderful fresh seafood.

Best fresh crab salad I have ever had with lovely wine and great service can not wait to eat there again

Il miglior pranzo delle nostra vacanza. Piccolo caffè/gastron mia sulla strada principale, offre un paio di tavolini all'interno è qualcosa in più all'esterno. Tutto ovviamente a base di pesce (consigliatissimo il granchio)!

Had a stop over in a little village of Port Issac, love the crab sandwiches! so yummy! Worth the price.

Estuvimos aquí para el almuerzo y probamos sus magníficas y sustancial sándwiches. La mía era la ensalada de queso y que contenía una porción muy generosa de delicioso queso. Sólo para poder comer la mitad y el asistente de compras muy amablemente envuelto la mitad restante para mí. Mi marido tenía el sandwich de langosta y otra vez estuvo llena de langosta fresca, dulce que disfrutamos muchísimo. Excelente servicio ofrecido por el personal encantador.

Siempre nos hacen fila para fresco del mar cuando estamos en Port Isaac independientemente del tiempo, y el tiempo no boy!. Cornwall El café es muy pequeño y el espacio es limitado, especialmente si es líquido, pero incluso si prevalece el sol no es su espacio para sentarse ir y conseguir una comida para llevar. El personal es muy amable y te dicen su conexión a los pescadores que aterrizan sus cangrejos y langostas es muy personal.

Logre una ambición mucho tiempo comer en fresco del mar, langosta y seleccionado una toda mi comida como. Cuando fue entregado, tenía un kit de herramientas completo de galletas saladas shell y una herramienta para extraer la carne de señaló las garras. Pedí a la señora para un curso de capacitación, y ella debidamente obligados por proporcionar supervisión frecuente que era extraer tanta carne de langosta como sea posible. Todo el proceso no fue rápido, pero la carne estaba deliciosa, y una forma estupenda de pasar una tarde soleada. En cuanto a relación calidad-precio, me pareció que era 22 libras muy bien gastado.

Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida cuando entramos en la cafetería y pedimos la comida en el bar. Optamos por la sandwiches frescos de cangrejo que estaba delicioso. Recomiendo completamente aparte del hecho de que no podía comer fuera como personas fumando en las mesas.

First visit to Port Issac, good choice of fresh fish dishes. Very tasty Crab soup and Crab salad. All staff friendly and helpful Well worth a visit.

Once more this lovely little cafe has opened for the season. We were welcomed back by the staff who remembered us from previous visits last year. The quality of the food is just as good, beautifully served by great friendly staff. Very reasonably priced, beautifully clean & good staff. A must to eat here if you love the best seafood.

Their lobster is superb, been there a few times when I visit the area.best lobster I have ever eaten..

While touring Cornwall we decided to stop off in picturesque Port Isaac for a spot of lunch and sat outside this tiny little cafe which had tables in a small courtyard area outside in the sun. We were lucky as there are only a few tables and a couple inside as the place is so small. They serve the freshest crab sandwiches you'll find anywhere. They may be a wee bit more pricey than others charge, but your crab isn't painted onto the bread with a brush here, you get plenty of it, white crab at that and they catch it and prepare it themselves. We also had the crab soup which was lovely, I would have taken some tubs away but didn't have a cool bag and we were out all day. The oysters I had were also excellent, served with shallot vinegar and tobasco, as were the coffees and cakes. Could have sat there all day. Staff were efficient and friendly, if you are in Port Isaac you must pay this little place a visit!

We keep coming back to this little treasure. Crab sandwiches and lemonade and a pot of tea - what more could you ask. Beautifully fresh made to order and indeed Fresh from the Sea. A beautiful gem of a place and of seafood. Great friendly, helpful staff and spotless clean premises. Brilliant.

My wife and I both had the crab salad with a glass of white which was a special. The crab was fresh and was delicious. Dogs welcome outside and was a nice spot to eat outside in the sun.

We called in for lunch whilst visiting port Isaac.the cafe was small so we took a table outside.i ordered the local ham and cheese sandwich which came with a salad and was very well presented and tasty. My wife had the ham option which was also excellent.a pot of tea completed the meal.service was quick,and prices were good.situated on the road into port Isaac well worth visiting

Having visited Port Isaac, we stumbled upon this quaint eatery and we were not disappointed. The home made fish cakes were lovely and the accompanying salad also. Simply fabulous!

Hi there, I am a great fan of trip advisor and rely on it for when I travel here and abroad as I'm sure so many other's do.We are staying in Padstow and have eaten in Rick Steins and Paul Ainsworth which was both lovely. We live in London and like most cities are used to lovely restaurants. Yesterday myself and my husband took my mum to Port Issacs to see this beautiful Port and we stopped at Fresh From The Sea for a quick Sandwich -which I had read on trip advisor, I went up to place my order and ordered a couple of crab sandwiches and a lobster one for myself, I asked the lady behind the counter with the glasses on if it was going to be easy to eat - which I feel was ok to ask as I didn't want any mess!To which she replied sarcastically 'it's a sandwich ' and made me feel really stupid in a small café with other people listening and as if I wasn't used to eating nice food.Maybe it was pretty obvious, but I just felt I was allowed to ask and felt it was unnecessary for her to speak to me like that. May I say everyone else was extremely pleasant and it was the best lobster sandwich ever !!

This is one of our favourite places locally to get a perfect sandwich or salad lunch. The freshest of sea food presented beautifully by lovely staff. Lobster, crab, salmon etc served on lovely bread. Didn't try the hot crab soup but there's always a next time! Well worth a visit.

The only place to buy fresh lobster or any other fresh locally caught fish in the area is Fresh From The Sea in Port Isaac. Absolutely fantastic.

As the name suggests it is all fresh from the sea. Lovely lobster salad and crab sandwich. Can't wait to visit again. Premises spotlessly clean, staff brilliant and food gorgeous.

Lived nearby for years but never visited. Popped in for lunch and just had to have the crab sandwiches. These were wonderful with lovely granary bread & plenty of filling. The cafe is clean and beautifully presented with some local items for sale. The lobsters were being delivered fresh (alive) by the owner straight from his fishing trip this morning.

we reviewed this little restaurant online and went there especially to purchase crab but.........stopped for a lobster sarnie which was out of this world (so fresh). Went back later to take some home for family in Sussex. The staff offered us ice for journey home wow....All the very best to the lovely little family running this business. Do not visit Port Isaac without stopping at this lovely clean friendly restaurant.

We came here on holiday last week, we were in Port Isaac to have a wonder when we came across this little cafe, they have three tables to serve tea and coffee and what is chalked up on the board! There is a fresh fish counter with the catch of the day caught by the owner as he has his own boat and goes out to sea each day to catch, they had fresh lobsters crab and other fish depending on what he managed to get and you can have lobster salad etc. We had Tracey's freshly made crab soup with a roll and it was delicious, just hit the right note feeling rather damp from walking! This is a little place but very much worth the visit, we bought freshly dressed crab to take back to our hire cottage and we were so impressed we went back two days later to by more to put in our cold bag to take home to Surrey! Why can't we buy this quality even in our top super markets?? London restaurants do it but at an extortionate price! I highly recommend this super little business and hats off to the fisher man who goes out to get it. A must if your in Port Isaac!
