All I can say about this place from what I ate today is wow, what value!This was a big seafood platter to share for two and although it sounds a lot at £19-ish, you would be lucky to buy these items separately in a supermarket locally for less. In fact I swear you couldn't unless they were sold past their sell-by-date.
Served with bread and more than we could eat (although I did have to try their oysters too), were three types of prawns, half a crab, cockles, mussels, smoked salmon, smoked mackeral and rollmops. All seemed really fresh and delicious. The cockles - now a luxury food, were not vinegared like so many sold on fish stalls. This place is a must-to-visit for seafood lovers. A fairly basic restaurant but with good quick service despite being packed (orders at counter). We sat outside which was great, with a view across the estuary.
A plate for one would be a big starter for two and even that plate for two makes a big mains - enough for three really. We left almost a portion. Loads of cooked and fresh seafood dishes were available, Someone close by was eating the biggest dish of prawns in garlic that I have ever seen in these parts.
