The best restaurants serving Seafood food in South East

Dreadful cod fish, over battered and dry, I think it was cooked twice. Too many small chips. Overpriced very disappointing after going there for years. Dreadful.

First things first. I’ve never had a bad meal from Mr Pink’s, and this was no exception. The haddock & chips, as always, was absolutely delicious. But the warning signs that all is not well are creeping in. The young staff work hard and are friendly enough, but the adults who run the place are perennially grumpy. Expect a moan about the rising price of raw ingredients - if you’re lucky. And the opening hours are a joke. See attached photo. You’re less likely to find Mr Pink’s open for business than you are to bump into the Abominable Snowman on Lymington High Street. My advice would be as follows. If times are hard and profit is elusive, open the doors, roll your sleeves up, and sell more fish & chips. Mr Pink’s product is good enough, it just needs to be matched by hard work and determination. Otherwise we all know how this story will end, don’t we? And none of us wants that.

Great chips Shame on vegan options

We live no where near the sea, but can get much better fish and chips locally here. The fish was thin, oily and smelly. Asked for a large cod and chips, and received two pieces of fish, one which was a small piece of haddock. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be many other fish and chips locally. Disappointing.

One of the best fish and chips around

Wonderful whitebait followed by a chicken kebab. Delicious but rather large portions! We couldn’t finish it all. Very helpful and friendly staff.

Expected a more sophisticated menu. Clams with butter sauce was pleasant as a starter. The rest was' expensive' fish and chips. A sauce would have been good with the sea bass. No extras such as bread as part of the service.

I ordered from the Havant fish bar at 15:40 for a delivery for 17:00 and didn't receive my order until 17:20. I don't think this is acceptable as they had plenty of time given for my order.

Very helpful people. Great service. Asked for advice on their menu for vegan options and they were very happy to show me all I needed and turns out there was a lot for vegans :) will be back

Depends who cooks the prawn noodles- Normally we travel to get these- a couple of times the noodles have been really dry and tasteless- sometimes one of the ladies always seems to forget our order and have to keep bugging them as to where it is- the seafood flake is banging- but lacks prawn- just a lot of mashed up Crabsticks with mayo and at now £8 a pot it’s getting f a bit too expensive- bobs however round the corner gives you plenty of prawns with your flake 🤫

I could literally repeat my last review about Trident, in fact, I will - see below Just a great visit as always, never been disappointed here. We make it our business to visit Trident every time we visit Sussex and they have never let us down. All items were freshly cooked and piping hot. Whatever they use as a batter coating is superb and make for very light eating. A most enjoyable Dinner. Well done and thank you as always Trident

The best cod and chips I've ever had. Very fresh, clean, and oh-so tasty! Fabulous fish and chips 😋 Worth every penny, and for us, it saved a long wait time in some of the busier restaurants nearby. Thank you!

Popped in for a snack with a student, so needed a VAT receipt. Asked if they did them, to get a fairly rude response of no, back. Then I said an itemised receipt would be fine. After a mistake they then made at the till, they struggled to get me a receipt. The lady who served us was so rude asking why I should need an itemised receipt for just chips. She said she couldn’t fix the problem as the staff member who works on the till had already gone home, and “what did she want me to do about it?!!” To make things worse, she was the owner! Very rude. Will not be returning.

Went with my partner and son for a visit to the beach, ordered battered sausage and chips, the chips were very nice, crispy and soft on the inside, perfectly cooked

Plastic plates not acceptable for the prices they charge used to have those at school for dinner they need to pick up the swan and duck mess aswell as not having their tables inclined because my plate kept on sliding down it no brollys out on the tables sap was falling on to my hand from the trees more food on the plate would be nice considering I payed £10 and hot drinks way to small for the price but other than that egg was nice
