The best restaurants serving Seafood food in England

Given the benefit of the doubt since change of owner as formerly excellent. Fish always appearing light so weighed last nights 10-14oz cod & weighed in at 9 1/4 oz. Totally unacceptable! Prepping 4-6, 8-12 & 10-14oz portions should aim for centre point weight NOT MINIMUM! Wet fish cooked to order & batter wet & uncooked on inner side & whole thing dripping in grease. Given then 3-4 chances over past few months but won’t be returning now. Great shame as used to be best in this end of town. Sadly now best avoided, but then they are all same these days it seems. £9 for an undersized cod, then add portion of chips - compare that to a £12 Carvery at the local Toby with an overflowing plate & a full & happy belly - no contest!

I've been going here for about 30 years now and always had good service and food. Tonight is the first time I've ever had shocking food from there and will never go back. Chicken kebab is full of bones, nearly chocked on it. Then all through the chicken are the spine with little bones in.... Not going again I'll stick to Valli's at least there's no bones

Use Portway regularly but after tonight never again so shocked what my husband came back with normally have fish and chip special with curry sauce when he came back with it no salt and vinegar and no curry sauce so dry it was awful

was going to buy some whelks but disappointingly it never opened. why have opening times if you don't open at all ?? so disappointed and annoyed.

This is my local, although I don't do any take-outs often. I always have fish and chips, sometimes mushy pes, sometimes just fish without batter, (ordered at least 15 minutes before.) The staff are always very friendly and accommodating. If having chips I always have to say 'not so many, please!' sometimes I say 'can you give them another minute, please?' Very generous. Always lovely fish. I can't speak for anything else as I only go there for the fish, but always hot and freshly cooked and everyone is welcomed. so nice to have this in our town" Gwyneth

My first and last time, visiting this fish shop. Fish was dry as if it had sat on the hot plate all afternoon, dry and batter soggy. The burgers were covered in sauce, weren't even asked if we wanted sauce, and so much put in the burger that the bun, went soggy on the base, and my son wouldn't eat it. The chips were as dry as a bone, and didn't improve when i covered them in vinegar. My worst fish shop experience

A real traditional fish 'n chip shop. Freshly cooked to order, huge portions and the same price as the smaller portions sold on the sea front. Mushy peas were slightly watery, due to being warmed in a microwave. Friendly service from two gentlemen in their 60s. Real chips and huge tasty haddock. Slight grease issue with fish being placed on top of the chips. We ordered medium haddock and chips twice, large chips and small mushy peas. Total £25.50 Same order at North Beach fisheries (our preferred location but sadly closed due to the inclement weather) would have been the same price but with much smaller fish and more expensive peas.

I have visited Dayer's on a number of occassions over many years. Always impressed with the quality of food and service.The restaurant is situated in the middle of a business park and it caters mainly for local office workers. The lunchtime menu is similar to that you will find in a good pub. Service is quick and efficient.We visited the restaurant on Friday lunchtime. The restaurant was packed with almost every table taken. Avoid the Cajun Chicken Sizzler. The fries accompanying the dish were amazing but the rest failed at every level from concept to execution. Other dishes met our expectations and we would definitely return.If the chef or owners are reading this review, please add more vegetarian options on the menu.

We ordered online on a v busy Saturday. The web site said 45 mins and it arrived just a little later. Something on my order didn't go through so I rang them up and added it. As they were so busy, it was missed on delivery but I rang them and they dropped it straight here. Customer service 100% Food is fab Thank you Sea Chef!

Most of their customers purchase cooked or raw fish and seafood for take away. But dining there is well worth it because of the taste

Chips nice & staff friendly but not the first time that the fish has been very soggy. Batter undercooked & not good for the cost. Disappointing.

Had sausage and chips curry sauce few days later checked bank account 3 amounts taken £26.99 £7.87 &14.79, tried phoning no answer

Ordered naan breads from here during Ramadan. The naan were burnt from the top and edges were so thick there was raw dough around it. We were promised replacements “next time “ we ordered but when the next time came, the manager claimed it was impossible such a thing could have been offered. I won’t be arguing with an employee for a small order of naan. The “manager” Shahzeb is obnoxious and has no courtesy how to speak to customers. If you cannot expect a business to honour their words, says enough about their standards. Definitely not using any service from here again. Hope this review prompts some improvements.

It is now a pizza place so I suggest you remove it from your site and rename as "Nonno's Pizza". I cannot therefor rate it as I have yet to visit. But it appears to be very busy when I walk past.

it was good crispy outside tender inside. Traditional taste of London. Tartar sauce and green chutney are good.
