A fish restaurant with super fresh fish. Special requests are also made here when it comes to the selection and preparation of dishes.

Nice piece of Hake and very well cooked. Chips are similar to any chain pub. Unlimited, but you don’t really want a second pot. Not worth £21. White wine was severely marked up- supermarket bargain bin £5 a bottle stuff for nearly £30. If you’re after a seaside fish and chip experience, there are better, far cheaper places at either end of the harbour. If you’re after a gourmet fish restaurant, try No.7 on beacon hill.

We went to Rockfish Torquay to celebrate my husband's birthday. The food was, of course, fabulous. The staff were incredible: welcoming, well informed and really made my husband feel so special. Thank you. I don't think I've ever had such exceptional service.

Why have we not been here before? Situated on Victoria Parade overlooking the inner harbour right in the centre of town. We like to support small independents when we can. It was a pleasant sunny day and as we were walking past here, we decided to see how the big boys do it. Well,we say big,they have ten or so locations along the south coast. Their moto is "Tomorrow's fish are still in the sea". We were warmly greeted and sat on their outside terrace. As well as the menu,there are paper place mats where the waiter highlights the catch of the day. Not being particulary hungry,we just ordered a selection of starters and one main course to share. Monkfish Scampi £13.95 Calamari £10.95 Dived Scallops £19.95 for three. Thought that was a bit of a punchy price as we normally get six for that price elsewhere. Plaice Fillet £23.95, this came with unlimited chips. They were very nice and we did get asked if we wanted more,but we declined the offer. Gotta think of the waistline.🤣 The staff were extremely friendly especially the Manageress who is a credit to the company. Overall it was a very nice plaice for lunch. They are also dog friendly.

Sadly I was turned away at 7.30pm even though there were loads of tables free and it looked fairly calm for the staff on service. The staff were fairly abrupt. Perhaps they don’t accept walk-ins. I went to Saltwater around the corner instead which was excellent with friendly, buoyant staff who had a smile on their face and very welcoming, although very busy. Highly recommended. EDIT: Having read other reviews this sounds like standard; fairly rude and unaccepting of walk-ins. It’s a shame really. It left a bad taste in my mouth and certainly wouldn’t spend my money there in the future, even with an advanced booking.

Lovely fish and chips, not greasy . Plenty of fish and less batter , unlimited chips but we found what was served in metal containers was plentiful, I had curry mushy peas which was tasty . We had an early tea so not much of an atmosphere, soft music playing so quite nice. On a plus side didn't see any dogs whilst we were there as I have an allergy. Also there is an optional service charge of 10%, 13%, 15% or you can decline or pay a service at your own discretion . Service was excellent

One of the best fish restaurants I've been to - honest, good quality, sustainable, local industry supporting and delicious! What a fab idea to use the tablecloth on each table, along with the menu, as a guide to tell you what latest catches are available and the prices. Our knowledgeable waiter introduced me to fish I'd never had - gurnard and though it wasn't available - megrim and I chose from the tablecloth catch specials - a ray wing grilled with capers and French tarragon, one of my favourite herbs. It was delicious, caught off Brixham by the Rockfish boat that supplies this small chain of restaurants. I asked for it with "unlimited" chips that come on those dreadful metal cups containing probably no more than 20 - that's the downside and I guess the reason they offer unlimited. Well, I make sure it's unlimited by asking for more, to bring it up to an adequate portion, similar to what you'd get in a traditional fish and chips shop. It's a trend that's catching on though - the chip shop a few doors away also offers unlimited chips, though they're more generous with their portions. I say end the nonsense, save the hassle, and just serve proper helpings of chips - small or large. As a starter at Rockfish I had half a pint of shell on Norwegian prawns. My wife sent got monkfish scampi - so much better than the normal rubbish scampi, followed by fillet of bream on a Greek salad which was an extraordinarily good combination. The restaurant add £1 to the bill to help deprived children in the area have holidays - excellent idea. I hope Rockfish goes from strength to strength, thriving its business and that of Brixham's fishing fleet. As I said to the waiter, I wish there was a Rockfish where I live in Essex - the nearest to me is Poole in Dorset. Highly recommended but do ask for more chips !

I went in on the spur of the moment...was greeted by Izzy who made me feel welcome immediately. Water was brought to the table without having to ask. She explained the specials very professionally...also there is a great and varied menu. The whole grilled Bream I chose was perfectly cooked and delicious, followed by a Creme Brulee to die for...Izzy's service was a delight...I highly recommend Rockfish.

Extremely overpriced. Not only was the food tasteless, there was zero effort put into presentation. The staff seemed clueless with one member promising us that unlimited new potatoes came with our meal, only to be informed by another member that they weren’t unlimited when we tried ordering more. A lot of the items on the menu were not available meaning we had a hard time ordering. They promise unlimited chips, which indeed are unlimited, but the staff never pay attention to any tables meaning it’s a nightmare trying to get them to order more chips. After placing the order it’s a very long wait to receive the chips, by then you are finished with the rest of the food as the portion sizes are not big at all. Overall a horrible experience, seems like just a tourist scam. Very expensive for the portion sizes, taste and presentation followed by very poor service. Will NOT recommend

Feel it’s overpriced for fish and chips, especially when your ‘daily special’ dish is described as coming with sauce but you get a minuscule portion and ask for a bit more and they charge you £3 extra for it! Wine also very overpriced. Wont visit again, it’s a tourist trap!

Server had a fantastic knowledge of the fish available and explained extremely well to my fish eating partner. £21.95 for a two course meal (featuring catch of the day) was very good for the quality. I am not a fish eater but felt the chicken milanese was delicious and well presented. Unlimited chips is a great selling point and we found it really is unlimited! Rockfish cider was delicious and went well with the food. Finally, I found the staff extremely friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. They were spotting when the chips and my cider were finished and very quickly offering refills (just to point out cider isn't unlimited...unfortunately 🤣).

Bizarre experience!! Went last night, only to be dismissed because I didn't reserve a table even though there was plenty of open tables. And by dismissed, I mean, shoed away almost! Booked for tonight, and we went, and no one seated us. We sat down and ate pretty average seafood. Other people were turned away because there was no reservations and again lots of empty tables. 2 thirds of the menu wasn't available and this information was only shared after we were sat looking at the menu for about 30 minutes. Won't be back!

Rockfish had most excellent service and great food. The restaurant is quite well refined and the prices reflect this. I would thoroughly recommend this place. Or at least for the food we had. We had two sets of scallops for starters these were excellently presented in their shells with a nice crispy topping. Followed by our main course which was silver mullet for my wife and grilled cod for me. Again these were fantastic. For sweet my wife had ice cream, I had a lemon tart with sorbet. The tart was made in the style of a Crème Brûlée. Exciting crunchy and tangy goodness with a perfect sorbet. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Top notch

The freshly caught cod of the day was absolutely delicious. It's a lovely little restaurant. I had the experience of going when it was nice and quiet because it was during the Spain England football match so I don't know how busy it usually gets. It was fairly quiet on the night that I went. I presume you're going to have to book a table ahead because the food was absolutely excellent, so they must be quite busy.

I recently dined at Rockfish in Torquay and had a disappointing experience that I felt I needed to share. First and foremost, I found the food to be overpriced for what we had To make matters worse, the staff seemed indifferent .We struggled to get their attention when we needed assistance, and when we did, they didn’t seem particularly invested in ensuring we had a good experience. It was frustrating to feel ignored, especially after spending a considerable amount of money. Overall, I left Rockfish feeling disappointed and unsatisfied. I wouldn’t recommend it based on my experience, as there are plenty of places in Torquay that offer better value and service.

Delicious, very fresh, seafood in a laid back restaurant... You couldn't ask for more when you're staying by the sea. We were served by Harriet who explained the fresh fish available by annotating the placemat on the table with options and prices. I went for fried anchovies to start (delicious) and a beautiful piece of buttery dover sole for my main course. My wife opted for mussels followed by dressed crab and we were both delighted with our choices. We'd definitely seek out Rockfish again if we are in the area, and they appear to have a number of local locations to try.

The fish is excellent caught that morning and sustainably sourced We both had the haddock which was cooked in a lovely light batter it came with bottomless chips we would never eat more than one portion and a very small portion of tartar sauce it would have been nicer to have a bigger portion of tartar and perhaps a salad garnish The staff were lovely However the biggest let down was the restaurant itself it had cheap looking vinyl seats and cheap tables we have seen better furniture in a little coffee shop

Het eten is dagvers. De vis wordt gevangen rondom Brixham en dezelfde dag geleverd aan het restaurant. Mijn vrouw heeft twee keer mosselen genomen en ik de Heilbot.

Food were okay however everything was severed as too small portions compared of price. moreover, when we ask them to refill salad, they changed their words and said only chips are unlimited second salad will be charging. it was such a ridiculous. we saw them explaining menu to other customers after this happen and they were still saying it served unlimited chips salad and bread. it is obiviously kind of trick which they are doing on purpose of leading up customers order expensive menu to make money. we felt like it is kind of scam to tourists

Came here for lunch on Friday and was pleasantly surprised. We were looked after by Claudia very well and from the specials, ordered the Ray Wing as well as the grilled Calamari. The Ray Wing was very meaty and the sauce was divine! It was drizzled with a buttery, lemon and finished with capers. The meat was so tender and tasty! The grilled calamari was perfectly cooked and tasted fresh. I find it hard to get perfectly cooked fresh calamari at times but this was cooked extremely well! We ordered the garlic slaw and spinach as a side. The special came with unlimited fries. The garlic slaw was very garlicky and highly recommended if you enjoy garlic! I was pleasantly surprised and would revisit without hesitation. Our waitress Claudiu looked after us very well and made our meal even more enjoyable! Thank you for the amazing experience!

Disappointing compared to the weymouth branch, good service but slightly mire crowded than the other restaurant with the tables closer together. It was the same great choice of catch of the day but unfortunately the deep fried fish combo was really disappointing as its cooked in rice flour making it dry and tasteless. The salads continue to be over leaf and lacking any substance, definitely opt for a Greek salad if you can much better value and flavour

As a coeliac, it is so reassuring to know that not only can the whole menu be made gluten-free, but also that staff are hyper-aware of cross-contamination and have protocols in place.

Very disappointing, great staff, not such great food for the price. The haddock was lovely and the batter spot on the peas were almost cold as was the rather thin and bean curry sauce. The monk fish at £36 was tasteless as was the accompanying sauce. The chips were frozen not fresh so not traditional fish and chip accompaniment. We have been to Rockfish restaurants before and always had a good experience but they seem to have tried to go ‘upmarket’ fish restaurant rather than excellent fish and chips which it always was.

We normally eat at Brixham Rockfish but not been there for a while and was in Torquay so thought we’d give this a try. Staff are good, knowledgeable and friendly. Fish was cooked fine, I’d be disappointed if it wasn’t at the price. My biggest issue is that the chips have changed, they used to be amazing, tasty and being unlimited you couldn’t help going back for more and more….BUT… They have changed! They’re now boring, bland, chunky sized oven chips you get in Wetherspoons, no taste or seasoning. A absolutely massive disappointment !! Mr Tonks has put profit over taste and it’s a poor choice!

We had a wonderful experience here on Sunday 28th April. I’d like to pass on our sincerest compliments to Lauren the waitress and wider team that served us Sunday afternoon, we were booked in at 2.45pm after a busy day of exploring the area, Lauren that looked after our table was wonderful, very friendly, helpful and professional. We were only one of two tables dining at the at time as it was between the normal mealtimes, but nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very welcome where in the past other places have either turned us away or been rather hostile when we’ve attempted to dine outside of the busier hours. The restaurant was spotless, the menu so tempting and the food we had delicious! We’re hoping to come back to Torquay in the summer and Rockfish will be top of the list.

This restaurant is amazing. we have been back three times in three months and we dont live locally. I will definitely be booking again. The service is fantastic, the food quality and choice top class and the atmosphere in the restaurant is welcoming and enjoyable. The restaurant is also gluten free, family and dog friendly.

Rockfish and chips, with an added jalapeño tartar sauce, and a mixed vegetable tempura starter. Drink. Ginger beer. Service was good friendly server who provided information on the days specials. I think good value for money and the restaurant is in a good location. Toilets were well stocked and clean.

The staff were lovely and very well mannered.however, what we found very off putting was that we could see the manager smoking outside and when she would come and check on us ( which was too often) she had a very distinctive cigarette smelling breath. Despite this the food was very nice.

We dined at the RockFish last weekend, this was not the first time we have eaten their on our visits to Torquay but we definitely noticed a change, the food was nice, however the cost of eating at RockFish seems to of increased alot which really surprised us and due to this we would not be returning as we felt you can get the same quality food at a much lower price at other places by the marina.

I found the new prices with new owners a bit steep. However, what can you say-The general living costs have increased. The place was very clean and inviting. I had small cod and small chips as it was just affordable. I think fish and chips is generally over expensive these days and is more of a treat for me. The cost was over £8.00 but the chips were nice, not cold or bity and the cod white and fluffy. Well done! The meal was nice but a bit too expensive for what it is!

First time visit and not the last, only takeaway of battered sausage and normal sausage, with chips but it was lovely and fresh, piping hot, very reasonably priced sat on the wall overlooking the marina, watch out for seagulls!
