The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Northumberland North East

Having read great reviews about Reel & Creel we were expecting & looking forward to some good seafood. Everything on the menu appeared to be deep fried but we were told that the lobster roll was the only thing that wasn't. So, we opted for a lobster roll to share as we have had them at other lobster shacks in Scotland & they have always been fabulous & generous. We parted with our £18.50 & duly waited. What we were served was a rather pathetic offering of a small toasted brioche bun filled with about a tablespoon of scraps of panfried lobster. It was tasteless, greasy & in fact, it was the worst, most overpriced snack I've ever had anywhere in the world. A total tourist rip-off!

60 mile round trip only to find restaurant closed even though website says it was open. Surely you can amend your website to advise the piblic of the current position. Will I go back no.

Excellent fish and chips, good service and friendly staff.

Came across this gem looking for lunch. We had the crab sandwiches which were delicious - just perfect. Noticed they did fish and chips and lobster and chips but only on two days of the week. And it was first come first served until they ran out. So went back to try the haddock and chips. Awesome. Best fish I have ever tasted - no batter, just grilled with lots of butter. Owner explained that he only used fresh locally caught fish and only when he could gets it off the local boats. It shows!!

Fantastic fish and chips. The fish is baked to order rather than deep fried in batter. You have to wait 10 mins because everything is cooked to order. Marvellous.

Amazing food huge portions, friendly staff 2 things to consider… do I need that starter and a bib for the chowder well worth it !!

The most crispiest batter and tastiest white flaky cod. Chips were delicious too. We had batter bits, curry sauce and mushy peas.

Not good at all. Not clean and the guy serve with his hands. Not gloves or tongs . Need to change oil for fryer , the one used for my fish and chips was old and overdone. The guy definitely want retiring after a life time of cooking for another but if found difficult to do so.

Great service and tasty fish and chips, at reasonable price. Popular after 5pm but we got there early, so beat the queues.

Excellent selection of shellfish, lovely staff & although a little expensive, worth every penny. Lovely atmosphere & waitig staff were superb

Excellent fish and chips. Served quickly. Great value for money

Loved the fish and chips here, great portion and tasty

Bought fish and chips there last night the fish had a weird taste there's no way that was Cod , they probably say it's Cod but it's something entirely different bloody awful won't be going back

Why you ringing my phone at 8 o clock in the morning , bit weird that is considering I live 6+ hours away from your chippy ..

Visited this place with extended family whilst on a visit to the area. It was a large order - we got kebabs, fish, burgers - two vegetarians in the family who got a veggie burger (tasted disgusting) and a cheese patty (no cheese? mainly grey potato and a bit of onion, it tasted awful and cold in the middle). Kebabs were greasy with fat dripping off them, fish was not pleasant and didn't taste like cod. The curry sauce did not taste of curry and the pot was tiny. It was embarrassing for family who recommended this place. No wonder the place was empty when we visited. My family have stopped going there and now visit Blyth and Seaton Sluice where they know they will get a pleasant tasting meal.
