The Easy Fish Co Wilmslow in Cheshire East

From the street, you’d be forgiven thinking Easy Fish was just a fishmongers in a row of shops. Walk in and you quickly realise that this isn’t “just” a fishmongers, albeit a really good one. Round the back of the shop is a casual restaurant. We haven’t been for quite a while but spotted on the website that they have a short, well priced lunch menu - just five starters and the same mains, at six quid for the former, sixteen for the latter. They used to have a second branch in Wilmslow but that didn’t last toolong and it closed earlier this year So, to start, there’s a classic prawn cocktail – generous serving of prawns, salad and Marie Rose sauce. And, on the other plate, a small filet of smoked mackerel, served warm and accompanied by a dollop of chorizo “jam” – an underwhelming dollop of not very flavoursome red stuff For mains there was a leek and parmesan risotto, topped with a well cooked fillet of smoked haddock. And a classic, and very nicely executed, moules frites. Again a generous portion in a well flavoured mariniere broth, enriched by a splash of cream. Nice crisp chips and two hunks of warm bread. And mayo for dunking was offered and accepted. I could have been back in Belgium! Decent lunch all round. And we stopped in the shop and bought tuna and a couple of mackerel.

Visited with friends. 2 items on the menu were unavailable and we were early ! Service was slow and unprofessional. Prices high and quality low. Would not return

I visited the Easy Fish Co with a friend. The restaurant is nice enough, low-key decor. Between us we had oysters, tiger prawns, mussels and salmon ramen. The food was delicious. Pricey, but worth it, we felt. HOWEVER, we were both ill with sickness and diarrhoea on the Sunday and Monday. Given that the restaurant was the only place we had in common, I'd say it's safe to say this is where we picked something up. I notified the restaurant and hadn't intended to post about it, but the restaurant hasn't even acknowledged my email, let alone apologised. I know these things happen but I would at least expect an acknowledgement.

Table booked for 7.30, Saturday night, small menu. When the waiter came to take our order, we were informed that 2 of the 4 main fish dishes on the menu were unavailable. This obviously is ridiculous as it is a fish restaurant. Attitude of the manager condescending to say the least.

Great fish dinner . Extremely fresh and melted in my mouth . The dessert was delicious too . Much better than San carlo .

Excellent food, great service and fantastic ambience! A true gem for Wilmslow and an absolute must visit restaurant

We visited last night, for the first time, with two other couples. The décor in the restaurant is simple and unpretentious, and we were warmly welcomed. So often you find you leave a restaurant with a feeling of disappointment at some aspect of the food or service... but not last night. From start to finish every aspect of food and service was flawless. The service was friendly, unhurried and attentive. It was also noticeably professional, with great attention to detail. No used or surplus items were left to clutter the table; all were unobtrusively removed. And before my seafood main arrived, a dish for shells, a warm finger bowl and a little pot of parmesan were arranged around me, together with the appropriate cutlery. Most of us started with 'First Bites' rather than full starters, and found these quite adequate. I had the Blanchbait (cleaned whitebait) which were excellent, as were my wife's smoked anchovies. For my main, I had the Seafood Pappardelle, which was one of the nicest dishes I have had for a long time...generously loaded with a variety of shellfish and with a rich and delicious sauce. My wife was equally happy with her Roast Salmon, and those who chose the Fish and Chips struggled to finish their generous portions of haddock. I then settled for a coffee, but those who managed a dessert were all impressed with the flavours and presentation. We left feeling very satisfied, agreeing that this is a restaurant which you could visit and relax...knowing that with both food and service you would be well looked after.

We arrived and ordered within 10mins and starters arrived quickly only to be told after we had finished that the market fish was No longer available (30 mins after ordering). How can a fishmongers restaurant run out of their dish of the day!! Substitute offered not on the menu. When it arrived it was swimming on butter which had to be mopped up with napkins. It was ridiculous the amount of butter used to cook this fish. Our other main was prawn and squid platter which when it arrived looked amazing. It came with cauliflower pakoras, on biting into them the liquid batter just ouzed out as they were under cooked and tasted awful. We were highly recommended to the easy fish restaurants, we won't be eating in Wilmslow again but will try Heaton Moor which we hear is the better of the two.

Excellent food, clearly great quality and fresh produce. All serviced very quickly (all 3 courses) and with very friendly staff too.

Went for dinner as a group of 6. This is our 4th visit, including with children in the past. Food is always outstanding, staff are friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is informal and relaxed. I've lived in Wilmslow for 7 years and this is definitely my favourite restaurant in Wilmslow or Alderley Edge.

Superb food. Return visit for me and even better than last time.. My friend was equally complimentary Amazing service and my favourite wine. Could not fault anything!

We have previously visited The Easy Fish and loved it. We visited again this month with friends and it did not disappoint. Everyone was pleased with their food! Keep it up!!

We went back to Easy Fish for the first time for over a year. If our starters were OK but not outstanding our main courses were absolutely spectacular. We had seabass and hake - both perfectly cooked and with tasty accompanying vegetables. Good service; quite expensive.

As usual top class service and food! Eating with 4 friends from Devon and Cleveleys. First time for them. There were 5 fish and chip dinners ordered and one mussels marienere.. I have a problem with my swallowing and can’t always finish a meal. I asked was it possible for me to have a child’s portion. The young waiter that served us didn’t have to ask anyone. No problem he said… I call that using his initiative! The portion was just right. Comments .from friends.. best fish and chips ever. I agree with that. Husbands Mussels, as always perfect. I think they should sell the liquid in tins it’s soo good. Very impressed with the young waiters. This was only their first or second shift. They worked like the dream team. I know that the lady in charge was thrilled with them. Thanks lads for looking after us so well. See you all soon.

We had a meal here tonight early doors. We had the First bites spiced cauliflower. Blanchbait. Beautiful Well cooked and delicious, both. The spiced cauliflower was so good, just spicy enough! For our mains my husband had potage of fish which looked amazing. It had salmon halibut and others in there in a sort of fish juice. So good. I chose the tempura prawn, squid and spiced cauliflower board with slaw , a delicious chutney and wasabi mayo. Just gorgeous! This is a very professional restaurant and the food was to die for. Highly recommended!

Lovely on the spur of the moment lunch. Had the potage of fish and Monkfish mains both lovely, fresh and well cooked. Lovely friendly service highly recommend

We dined midweek and the restaurant had just enough diners to create a nice ambience. All the dishes were cooked to perfection (I love seafood) and the service faultless. Thank you easy fish for a perfect night out.

Had a family meal here, looking forward to good fish, well cooked, and that is exactly what we received. A starter of Prawn and Squid platter set the standard and all the main courses were first class. Monkfish was beautifully cooked and presented; Thai Mussels...

Fantastic dining experience. The people could not have been more friendly and helpful. the food was excellent, and we booked another table for the future. Fleur is the Matradee, and she is brilliant. My wife and I had the selection of "Fruit de Mere" and...

This is a first class restaurant! We had an excellent two-course meal and everything was delicious. I understand that they get their fish from a local fishmonger which must be a good thing. One item from the menu was not available but the same dish...

All dishes were excellent delicious fresh fish in relaxed surroundings. Would highly recommend, we had the scallops and boa buns to start both super tasty and the bouillabaisse and salmon for mains equally delicious. Can’t wait to return. So nice to enjoy tasty fresh fabulously...

Sorry but this fish restaurant should have a chef that can not spoil a 27 quid halibut special, it was over cooked. We knew that there was no more halibut as the special had sold out, so no chance of a replacement even if we...

Came here for lunch with friends and again we had a fantastic meal and excellent service. I’ve been here a number of times since restaurants re-opened and I have been impressed each time. The swordfish tacos were on as a special, so yummy! I also...

Wish I lived in Wilmslow just so I could go to this restaurant again. 4 of us went, had bread, olives, 4 starters, 4 mains, couple bottles of wine, beer, water, 1 pudding (& because they made a mistake we were given an extra one...

We enjoyed a lovely evening out while lockdown was reduced - the bread board (all baked fresh) was to die for but we were a little disappointed in the sharing platter, the whitebait was breaded and we felt from a fish speciality place that some...

We found his restaurant last Christmas and lockdown permitting we been several times. Our favourite restaurant, Jason, Fleur and the team are friendly, the food is adventurous and delicious, never disappoints.

Four excellent meals, cannot fault the food and service. Very fresh tasty and well presented. Thank you to our lovely waiteress fleur.

Best Fish and Chips in the Golden Triangle. Perfectly cooked fish with delicate batter. Improved immeasurably since it’s opening and must be sampled to appreciate the fantastic fish.

My friend and I love seafood, wanting to open our own seafood restaurant someday! I’ve been looking constantly for seafood restaurants near to us and finally came across this. It was fabulous. Staff were friendly and welcoming, food absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection and...

Great food with the service to match...if ever your in Wilmslow you must give this place a go... the monk fish was exceptional

First visit to the Wilmslow restaurant which is larger than its sister restaurant in Heaton Moor. We ordered pate, sushi, salmon and langoustines. The food was outstanding and the service was very friendly. Will be back. Recommend, but you will have to book a table

Amazing meal for my brother's birthday. Incredible fresh oysters, squid starter for my husband and brother and mussels mariniere for me, followed by sea bass and tiger prawns for main. Everything was absolutely delicious and the staff superb. The restaurant was very clean and the...

We’ve been to the Heaton Moor restaurant a couple of times but this was our first visit to this new unit. Firstly, it has a lively ambience and has a nice airy feel to it. The welcome was warm and friendly. To start, we had...

Simply, Wonderful food & fantastic staff My main complaint is that it’s so good it’s hard to get a table. The smoked fish pate is delicious, and also sold through their take away service. The king prawns are excellent and the monkfish curry faultless.

After hearing so many good reports about this place from my mum who is almost a regular, I was so looking forward to it, and to be honest the food did not disappoint. However, despite having asked for the gluten free menu when we booked,...

Had a meal here on Friday 7th August with my family. It was amazing all round! The food was incredible- we had the bang bang cauliflower for starter with the sea trout, seabass and prawns for main course - all of which were delicious! The...

Visited this restaurant for dinner tonight and had a great meal, quality of the food was excellent and the service was friendly and efficient, will definitely return.

Popped in for lunch and was blown away with the menu, food and service. Quality of the food was excellent. Please don't think this is just fish and chip restaurant - far from it! would give 6 stars if I could.

Great meal, really inventive, if you like fish you will love this restaurant. Staff were helpful nothing was too much trouble food excellent

Went for lunch recently and was knocked out by presentation and taste of my large plate. Lovely helpful staff and really delicious food. Can’t wait to go back! If you like fish this is a must!

Taste of the sea platter is delicious and perfectly put together, the only thing we weren’t keen on were the olives wrapped in anchovies, too acidic, but everything else was absolutely spot on and great value for money. Warm friendly service and good atmosphere. Will...

My husband visited the restaurant two weeks ago & booked a table for tonight. We chose Saturday night as we had observed that the restaurant is usually pretty empty at night during the week. The gentleman he saw inserted our surname on the table chosen,...

Pass by this place daily. Dropped in tonight and kicked myself for it going in sooner. Food was excellent, probably our best meal out in a long time. Compliments to chef and the team who were very friendly. Back soon.

Décor not an issue but none of the dishes worked, each plate comprising random quantities of random elements, sadly lacking in spices and seasoning and the fish not particularly well cooked. Dishes didn’t look like any of the photos posted on tripadvisor so perhaps we...

About 20 years ago, while working in Greece, I took a day out in a little fishing boat which had a barbecue on the stern. The best fish I've ever eaten was dorado, literally pulled from the sea, gutted and grilled within a minute. But...

We have visited here twice in the last month. The food is well priced for the quality and portion size! Lots of choice on the menu. I highly recommend the baked cod. My partner enjoyed the oysters. We have not had one but saw people...

Though not a fish lover thought we’d try this restaurant. Nice decor but the plain wooden tables and chairs look so ordinaire. Fish dishes were lovely if a little overpriced . Most main courses were £20+. Food was beautifully presented, tasted lovely but frankly the...

I visited this restaurant with my family. This was the first time I have been here. I was extremely impressed with all of our dishes served to us. The food was amazing so delicious, beautifully presented. Each individual meal was at a high standard. Hospitality...

Absolutely superb dinner in the Easy Fish Co Wilmslow. We enjoyed the smoked haddock bhaji, scallops and swordfish massaman. All dishes were flawless: flavoursome and the fish was cooked perfectly. We can’t wait to return.

We have been visiting the Heaton moor branch of the easy fish co fairly recently, and have always been impressed with the food quality. When we heard that a new branch had opened in Wilmslow it was a must try! Overall, we were very impressed....

Such a good restaurant to enjoy really great seafood. I have dined at the Heaton Moor and Wilmslow locations and both are equally as good. The picture shows the hake cooked beautifully served on pak choi. I've never been disappointed here either eating at lunch...

We came here to celebrate the wife’s birthday. It was our first visit, and we decided to choose somewhere we hadn’t been to before because we are fed up with most of the eateries in the area (my wife is very fussy about her food...

Apart from the exquisite food and the amazing presentation of the dishes, the restaurant has friendly and very professional staff. Honestly, if you haven’t been yet, go, you will not be disappointed!!!

Lived in wilmslow for 20 years and just had probably the best meal ever. The fish dishes ( i had monkfish) was perfectly balanced for flavours and cooked spot on. Starters and sweets are equally fine and imaginative. The staff have that confident sparkle in...

Absolutely phenomenal. I have been very privileged to have dined in some of the best, most grand and prestigious restaurants in the world. I can honestly say this is amongst the absolute best of them. Seriously. The decor (which I understand is being refined) belies...

We had a really lovely meal last night , the restaurant still feels like a new evolving business but the food was excellent and the staff friendly and keen to please . We will definitely be back .

We've enjoyed several excellent meals at Easy Fish Heaton Moor - but with Wilmslow recently opening and it being more convenient - we thought we would give it a go. Well, we were not disappointed in any way. The quality of all the starters and...

Excellent lunch. Enjoyed a very generous sharing board, side were fabulous too. Staff super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend. Great value for money

Have eaten here twice and things are settling down well. Our starters were really excellent and the fish mains wonderfully fresh and cooked to perfection. My only caveat comes from the matching of Katsu curry with hake, Although the curry sauce was pretty mild it...

We came to The Easy Fish Restaurant for the first time today. Food was amazing! Lovely atmosphere. Staff incredibly polite and helpful. Great Value!! Can't wait to go back again.

We had an excellent meal as we have come to expect at Easyfish , this time with a revised menu which had plenty to choose from. Only complaint I would make is the general noise which makes it difficult to make conversation . I am...

First visit to this restaurant (although have been twice to the Heaton Moor one which was excellent). We were not disappointed. Food was really good (oysters superb), service was great. Looking forward to the next visit. Wishing the owners every success

Not great. Rude staff, had to ask for basic cutlery and finger bowls (eating shellfish). Although I live around the corner and it’s convenient I’ll never go back. Avoid like the plague

Fish pate to start was amazing! Followed by mussels and fries (generous portion) Thai style. Great service and friendly atmosphere!

Excellent food, great service and lovely atmosphere. I had the cod cheeks to start which were delicious, the hake for main, which was melt in the mouth goodness, and the set custard for dessert which was faultless! Highly recommend a visit!

I was apprehensively at first due to a coupe of negative reviews, However we’re glad we went today the Food was amazing and the staff were also fantastic. A decent fish restaurant at Last only been waiting 15 years forget the couple of negative reviews...

After waiting 1 hour 20 minutes for the smallest salmon portion I've ever had. Then receiving the wrong bill. Worst restaurant experience I've had in a long time

Excellent food and service, staff really couldn’t do enough for you. The food was absolutely delicious and I particularly enjoyed the dessert - see picture! Definitely looking forward to coming back soon!

Enjoyed our evening at the new fish restaurant in Wilmslow. Food very good. Few things I would turn the volume down a little and I would do more with the bar area. Thinking pictures maybe tiling as at the moment the bar area looks like...

It was a delight to eat in this new restaurant. Staff were friendly and keen to please. Atmosphere just right and menu not at all “fussy” or complicated. The food speaks for itself - good blend of tasty fish (and meat), veg and balance of...

So happy that The Easy Fish co. have opened in Wilmslow. We had a really wonderful meal on our first visit and are going back for more this week. Superb halibut main, succulent prawns and scallops for starters and I was the only one who...

Thursday night meal with my wife and 2 teenage daughters. Attentive friendly service from the start and we were made to feel very welcome. We shared 2 starters, Crispy squid and the Tuna tartare, both delicious. This was followed by Spiced monk fish, hake with...

For a dedicated fish restaurant this isnt good enough. We asked for gluten free dishes but the prawns came with bread and were so overcooked the shells were melded to the flesh. The prosecco was flat, easily remedied by a simple inspection prior to serving....

Easy Fish, Heaton Moor has long been a favourite place for us to eat and we were so pleased when they decided to come to Wilmslow. We were not disappointed. The food, service and environment were all great. Expect to be regular customers and so...

We have been looking forwards to this opening. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. We went their with friends. Food looks great but was cold. Prawns under cooked. All of us decided we will not be back

Only recently opened but all the staff friendly and on the ball. Sharing platter first class and full of different flavours.Very tasty and well cooked sea bass. A birthday treat.
