21. Rocky Bottoms
Rocky Bottoms is located in West Runton, Norfolk. The Good Food Guide says: “The sea views might be distant, but Rocky Bottoms has made quite a splash on this stretch of the coast since opening in 2015. It is owned by a local fishing family, so the crabs and lobsters are of unimpeachable freshness, yet almost as diverting is the modern vibe of the place.” | The Good Food Guide
22. Seaview Restaurant
Seaview Restaurant is located in Saltburn-By-The-Sea, North Yorkshire. The Good Food Guide says: “ Local lad and owner Glen Pearson is fast establishing this beachside seafooder as one of the best in the area – there’s always a queue snaking down the promenade, summer and winter, seven days a week, for takeaways and seats on the open-air terrace with its incongruous palms.” | The Good Food Guide
23. Shell Bay
Shell Bay is located in Studland, Dorset. The Good Food Guide says: “Not surprisingly, seafood figures prominently on the wide-ranging menu, from Poole Bay oysters with shallot vinegar or clean-cut cured salmon with fennel and apple salad to whole local crab and various offerings ‘from the wood oven’ – perhaps sea bass, Galician-style octopus or skate wing (perked up by a side order of sweet, nutty roasted Jerusalem artichokes with truffle and Parmesan).” | The Good Food Guide
24. Sole Bay Fish Company
Sole Bay Fish Company is located in Southwold, Suffolk. The Good Food Guide says: “The short drinks list is mostly cold and fish-friendly, and there’s a rotating offer of local Adnams brews, pleasingly available on draught. Seafood platters, heavy with prawns, cockles and whelks, are anchored deliciously by the main attraction of half a garlicky butter-slicked lobster, a dressed crab or sultry smoked fish.” | The Good Food Guide
