The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Southend-on-Sea East of England

Always go here every week for wonderufl fresh seafood and also wonderful hot extras such as prawn curry and other specials which sell out quickly. Never had a bad batch from here.

We came to buy shellfish today. I have always really loved shellfish. Bought winkles and shrimps, would have loved to buy much more, but be back another day as all looked to appetizing. Staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. I plan to return within the week.

Just grabbed 2 cod and chips from Henry Higgins and as usual absolutely banging!! Huge portion, cooked amazingly, not greasy at all. Succulent cod in a super crispy batter and the best chips in southend. Amazing value compared to the other chip shops around. If you really appreciate decent fish and chips don't bother going anywhere else use these guys, you will not be disappointed.

OUTSTANDING Simply the best From sea to your plate, some of the finest fish and Tapas I have had the pleasure to consume. Bang Bang hake OMFG. IF you miss this on your trip to Southend on sea, consider that a failure. Just bloody awesome 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️

Simply a beautiful all-around experience! Food cooked to perfection. Great service. A wonderful and comfortable environment. Be tempted by Eden! You won't be disappointed!!

Cash only. Good way to lose what could be a reoccurring customer as this is our local. I’ll always pay cash when I have it but on the occasion I don’t, you should take card.

Brought mum here for a 90th birthday lunch as she adores seafood. Fabulous place, a warm friendly welcome, the most delicious seafood, wonderful friendly service, beautiful sea view. We sat at wooden benches in the gazebo and despite being December we were toasty warm under the heaters. Thank you for making mums birthday really memorable, we loved our lunch with you. Highly recommended!

fish was cold and one piece was full of bones,the chips were awful as if they were yesterdays won't be ordering from here again

It's like everything else there are good days and bad days. Compare to similiar food places it's reasonable

Best fish and chips in Southend! Large portions and tasty chips! Not the greasy soaked fish & chips you sometimes come across on the seafront!

We booked No1 for a private function, the size of the space was perfect and the food was excellent! The staff are so friendly it felt like they were apart of the celebration and chris the manager was so understanding of our arrangements and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you No1

Totally discussed with this place.. thought was coming to nice cafe to have lunch with my family.. we been waiting almost 25 minutes for our food. I asked several times why our food was taking so long????? The manager creepy kept looking behind freezer but didn't want to respond. Instead sends his girl staff to apologise for delay in food. But perfectly serving customers outside efficiently????

Our local was closed and we’d heard good things about this place so we decided to try. We ordered 2 portions of chips, a battered sausage, a mushy peas and a can of Sprite - a pretty small order all things considered. On arrival, we saw two women working there (one blonde woman and the other woman was brunette with glasses). The blonde woman was largely working behind the scenes preparing food, although was seen helping out at front of house when needed. The brunette woman was front of house. We seriously question the decision to make her front of house! She majorly lacked customer service skills. Her speed of service was very slow. She lacked warmth and humility and seemed to just wonder around aimlessly most of the time, to the point her colleague needed to step in to support. We waited for several minutes before she took our order. Whilst we don’t mind waiting, we would expect to see the staff busy. She, however, was just walking around and did not seem to be doing anything conducive. During the time we were waiting, we watched the blonde staff member shout in front of customers towards a delivery driver. Why she couldn’t have simply tapped the person’s shoulder, we’ll never know. What we saw however was the face of other waiting customers looking stunned. We also saw the brunette staff member itch her hair and then deal with food without washing her hands first. We did not see a hair net or gloves in sight. We certainly worry about food hygiene there! It took 19 minutes for our food to be ready, even though we could actually see our order sitting and waiting there for at least half of that time. It seemed the front of house’s approach was to do order by order and the order before us was much bigger. Having that we had both worked in the food industry previously, we didn’t understand why she couldn’t complete multiple orders at once, especially when the food was ready! As for the food itself, it was bland, undercooked, under seasoned and definitely not worth the money! Also, the mushy peas were so watery they didn’t even taste like mushy peas. The can of Sprite was the best part of the meal! We would not recommend and strongly advise people not to go! We certainly won’t be.

Nice little meal. I was working down the road and didn't want anything too heavy so opted for the Cod Special. It was very tasty and just the right portion for me!

Visited yesterday with my husband and sat outside in the sun. We ordered padron peppers, crab orzo and truffle and Parmesan fries with a beer and a rock shandy. The food and drinks were lovely, the crab orzo was amazing and I will definitely be back to have the main size portion of this. The prices do seem slightly too high for the fries and the padron peppers considering how much you get, however we had a lovely time, enjoyed all of it and will be back. It would be good if other customers sitting outside paid attention to the no smoking sign however as it’s a small space and unpleasant.
