The best restaurants serving Seafood food in North Norfolk East of England

You'll find By The Quayside on Blakeney Quay (on the right hand side of the car park as you go in). This is a must visit. You can eat outside at the tables or get your food to take away. Whilst we were staying at Blakeney, we enjoyed a variety of their delicious food. Sandwiches - Tuna; smoked salmon and dill and horseradish dressing; fresh crab - all served on really fresh bread and generously filled. We also tried the salt and pepper squid, which came with a dip; their own fish finger sandwich (lovely toasted ciabatta roll with just the right amount of dressing; dressed crab; and half a lobster tail. Everything, including the dressed crab and lobster, are made to order. No pre-packaged food here, all served up with a smile and a chat. So, so friendly. One day we were late home and they were packing up, but it wasn't any trouble for them to make up our order. I can't stress how generous the portions were - but even more important was the price. For the quality and freshness, other fish stalls/huts were almost twice the price. Which was the reason we kept returning and urge you to go too. My husband actually heard the owner speaking to another local business person, who was suggesting she should put her prices up (Blakeney is an expensive place); but she was firm in her belief that she wanted it to be affordable for the many visitors that came to the town and was happy with what she was charging. To the lovely ladies that run the stall, thank you so much for being so friendly and accommodating, we're just sorry that we didn't get your names so we could credit you. We wish you continued success.

Amazing fish restaurant. Food was superb. Well worth a visit in a beautiful village. Will definitely return on our next break.

Just paid for two dressed crabs and a sandwich and when I got home and opened the bag there was only the dressed crabs and no sandwich

Had takeaway fish and chips. Which were excellent 😀

Alway a pleasure to return to this wonderful resturant. Colin and family are very welcoming and the experience full of fun and laughter. Always one of our first go to places when we visit Norfolk and we visit a lot. Thanks Colin and Team your the TOPS Jack Scrivens MBE

Rang at short notice to try for an early table and they kindly fitted me in. Lovely food and nice staff too. Went for the Chicken Panang which came in a nice rich sauce. Good sized helping too. Will be back when in the area again.

Fish fresh cooked to perfection chips lovely staff very friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Hope to go again before we leave

The food at this restaurant was some of the best we have ever had. Everything was delicious cooked to perfection. One talented chef. The service was brilliant and everyone was so friendly. We will definitely be going back and would 100% recommend.

We enjoyed a fabulous lunch sitting by the window with a gorgeous view towards the pier where afterwards we were headed to watch the end of pier Xmas show . This was our third visit to Upstairs at No I and as on our previous visits it did not disappoint. Oysters and Tempura prawns followed by fish and chips and halibut in a to die for white wine sauce with baby leeks and samphire - we were in heaven. The food was really well cooked and the service perfect. We will be back !

Been going to the Clifton for over ten years, not staying but dining, drinks etc, spent an absolute fortune, always been friendly and great place, since it’s been took over what a change, we were here last year, only managed to get in once, place was dead, but staff say they only serving residents, now we we spend a few hingmdred pound a time and the place is dead, what’s going on, staff rude , I hope the new owners see this review as we normally here in cromer 6 weeks or more a year, used to eat every day in here but never again will I return, been turned away, rudely too many times, good luck but I bet this place has lost a fortune, keep clear of the place head into cromer, much friendlier now

The Good - the fish and chips were lovely, when you eventually get them (see The Bad). The Bad - their food is made on order, so not like a conventional fish and chip shop where the food is pretty much already made and the service is fast. I was in the queue for probably 3 quarters of an hour (no exaggeration). As soon as you’re inside the shop, you’re asked what you want, which gives you a false sense of optimism. It just means your food is made on order though. Meanwhile, all the customers in front of you, once they start being served at the till, take about 10 minutes each. There is only one person serving and two people cooking. I understand why they’re doing this - it’s to increase their margin and avoid wastage. But all that comes at a cost to the customer who suffers awful service. Maybe think about having two people on service and see your reviews regularly scoring 5.

As other customers have raised this fish and chip shop like to keep the leftovers from the night before so go in early at your peril Fish far too overcooked and in edible same with the chips that were black Wouldn’t be so bad but we have been caught with this 3 times now and always happens if you go in early not difficult to spot what they are doing

Always been a great chippy for as long as I can remember. The best in cromer by a country mile. Based on personal experience

Firstly I want to say how lovely the staff are! Really great! However… We’ve been getting take aways from here for a while and it’s always been good. My mum is visiting at the moment so we popped over yesterday to eat in. I was so disappointed. Not sure if it’s a cost cutting measure, but the chips were not ‘chippy’ chips but looked and tasted like pre-cut bought-in frozen, processed style ones. My fish was wet and mushy. It’s only a guess, but this may be a sign of it being frozen. Just under £60 for three, for a cup of tea each and three cod and chips (and one mushy peas). I don’t mind paying for good food, but not for this. It didn’t even resemble traditional fish and chips. God knows what’s going on at Eric’s but we won’t be going back!

Great fish and chips again, just the job for a Friday night, very fresh as always. Why does trip adviser insist on 100 characters???? lol Many thanks
