The best restaurants serving Seafood food in England

Popped in on a Sunday afternoon. Very pleasant. Staff were lovely. I made a poor choice for a starter, but my wife's was lovely. The mains were spot on, and we both had a very pleasant afternoon.

Amazing what a little golden gem, we have visited Thailand several times and we always miss the food when we come home. The staff, food and service was wonderful, it’s like having a tiny bit of Thailand in Plymouth!!! Can’t wait to come back! khop khun khâ

Nice food and nice staff but too expensive. Takeaway was a lot cheaper

Everything about our meal was exceptional

Long story short, I have wanted to come here for many years, but the planets never quite aligned. Having now finally been, I will be back! Relaxed atmosphere, attentive staff and an unhurried ordering process, and food delivery to the table, make this a must for anyone visiting Ilfracombe. The only difficult part of the evening is resisting the desire to try one of everything, hence the desire to return.

The octopus was so so salty but staff was so busy I was worried about complaining

We were so excited to try here whilst holidaying in Cornwall, saw online they didn't accept reservations so popped in on the off chance last Tuesday, they accomodated us at the bar but there was quite a wait for menus and drinks but that was ok due to their good reviews and atmosphere. I spoke about my allergy, the young lady on the bar wasnt aware what one dish was (raw/cured fish) which my partner would not have chosen if she was given this information (maybe she was new as was quite young) my wife never received the dish due to ridiculous wait times and the mess ups with my order. They were out of the Fal oysters so I had to have the other, which however was fine, they also were out of the Mackerel, alot of things they have sold out of, which is probably because they are rated so highly. I was asking if I could have the scallops without the milk (caper butter sauce) and then to come back and tell me it wasn't made with milk, when I pointed out "butter", anyway they substituted it for a salsa verde. What was most disappointing is they served me the allergen I had made them aware about, there was a long wait for food as well which we were aware (on the taco's), the chef shouted over the pass that he forgot and had put milk in the dish!! I had almost swallowed and had to spit out the food. For someone with a serious allergy or a child this could be life threatening. When the waitress asked him had he made a replacement about 20 mins later I think he had forgot and then they had ran out of that, another member of staff let us go when we said we will just pay the bill and leave, she decided to waiver it. We were so disappointed as we visited here after the main brewery on the industrial estate, probably should have stayed there and had pizza. Verdant is my favourite craft beer. My suggestion is you accept reservations especially if customers have allergies and most have travelled a long way to allow them to experience. Quite disappointed as we had saved a visit until the end of the holiday for a special treat, and by time we left there was no where else for food that night which completely ruined the end of our holiday as lots of places had stopped serving food by this time. My suggestion is if you have an allergy BEWARE as milk allergy should be treated the same as a sesame or a nut allergy.

Amazing customer service. Tasty food. Great craic. We turned up as a group of 11 woman with all different orders and lots of cheeky requests. The fish was fresh and melted in the mouth. We couldn’t have asked for better. Thanks guys.

Chips like my dad used to make. Tastiest chips anywhere in the uk. Fish was good the batter is lovely and crisp. A little dark coloured for some but I would say absolutely spot on for me. Great portions too

Great fish and chips, batter is perfect and chips are good, what more can you need??

Haven’t made it to Porthleven for a couple of years, but overjoyed to visit yesterday and grab lunch at The Mussel Shoal. You wait a while for your food, but it’s always worth it. I opted the Crispy Chilli Squid with Fries and a nice, locally brewed IPA. Absolutely amazing. Fresh, hot and full of flavour. Wonderful. I’ll try to get back before heading home on Friday. Need to have the Prawns. You will not be disappointed.

The best creamy and tender oyster i ever had. Literally melting in your mouth. I kindly inquire their chef about the sauce on the side - simply mixed with shallot and red wine vinegar. I would never forget the splendid lobster as well. One of the few highest quality seafood bar in Newcastle I been over three times in one year.

Best fish and chips I've had. Large portions

Consistently good fish and chips and always friendly service.

Food was not great and so overpriced Whole restaurant is freezing! Service was awful
