The best restaurants serving Seafood food in South West

This is a very strange place, run by some very, very strange people. Despite booking, the initial welcome was "off". We had a table upstairs and we felt forgotten. Fishers does not really get customer service or care. We eventually managed to place a drinks order and then waited, and waited. Eventually 20mins later two drinks arrived. We had to chase the other three. Eventually flagged down a "waiter" who was dressed like he was working in the garden and had dirty hands too. He was rude, clueless, stupid, arrogant and clearly does not possess the social skills to work in the hospitality industry. We placed our main food order with him, despite him moaning...... The food then took almost one hour to arrive. When it did it was incomplete and arrived in phases. Side orders were missed and one main never arrived. No apology. No care. Zero attention to detail. It wasn't just us. The tables are so close together we cannot help but hear what is being said at other tables. Three other tables moaned about missing items, wrong bills, poor service etc. The whole place comes across as a sad joke. The quality of fish cooking displayed was very average, so even the heart of what Fishers is about it is not very good at. The whole place is dirty, the loos disgusting and the staff don't give a damn. It is very over priced for what it is. People giving this place good reviews need to get out and experience what a good seafood restaurant looks and tastes like. It sure as heck is not Fishers. In one word "avoid".

Visited Lynton and Lynmouth today. After looking around shops in both areas popped in Esplanade fish bar in Lynmouth for some traditional fish and chips. On entering, our furry friend Vinnie was offered a dog treat by a very friendly staff member. You can eat in or take away,we choose to eat in. We ordered cod and chips, cooked fresh. Within 5 minutes of ordering our order arrived. A lovely tasty crispy batter and thick flaky cod with a decent portion of chips . We've been to many seaside chippies on our travels in the UK, can honestly say this rates high up there. Lovely setting , very polite staff ,clean and fitted out inside nicely but most of all top end fish and chips. Highly recommend a visit.

Fish tacos were outstanding. Lots of fresh fish options according to their availability on the day. Although fully booked indoors, I was accommodated outside on a fine September evening.

Last time the large fish, chips and curry sauce very good. Today what a difference. Large fish was not worth £8.50, skinny( more like a flat fish) and nearly broke my tooth on the chips so hard on the outside. Disappointed.

Glorious cheesy chips and if there’s more than you can eat( extremely likely) pop it in the panini maker next day. See picture. Nom nom 😋

Great service and food, clean oil for the chips. Be aware there is a queue, which can go out of the shop and up the street, but worth it

Have to put 5/5 because 10/10 wasn’t an option which it absolutely deserves. Great food at a fair price and even better customer service

Clearly the website needs updating as they appear to be closed for the winter. Tried on Thursday 3rd October at 1pm and they were closed with all tables cleared away.

Trying desperately to get a reservation however the phone number just says the number you have called is not in service the Facebook page has no contact info and the website doesn't work, anyone got any help? Been trying to go here every time we visit the area for holiday really thought this year we would be lucky if we booked before we went but can't get in contact?

Fantastic service and fabulous food, when back in the area will definitely be visiting again.

Delicious food that's beautifully presented. Excellent cocktails and really friendly staff. Not a quiet venue but highly recommended.

Had a fantastic Sunday roast here last Sunday with a large group of friends.. Very reasonable at £14.99 or £16.99 for a selection of all the meats. Served with plenty of beautifully prepared vegetables. Great location with plenty of atmosphere. The Staff were friendly and very helpful. Many thanks from Bristol !

Excellent fish and chips all lovely and freshly cooked.

Quickly served, great chips, thanks

We have dined here on numerous previous occasions and have enjoyed excellent food. This time our meals were disappointing. I ordered the Catch of the Day which was mackerel. I asked in advance about the portion and was told that "usually" it was two medium fillets which seemed reasonable bearing in mind that this is a relatively cheap fish. I was served one small fillet with a moderate portion of accompanying vegetables. Very poor value. My wife didn't fancy the Catch of the Day and so ordered the fishcakes. She felt that the fish content was low. This is a lovely restaurant above The Sloop Inn and overlooking St Ives harbour. It is a shame that the menu is the same as for the pub below. An improved offering at a slightly higher price is perhaps called for.
