On the board, they advertise various kinds of oysters, fish and chips and half lobsters. They were out of the cheapest oysters so we got the local tressels, half dozen for £10. Still a good deal as they are much more in London. We also ordered a raspberry wheat beer. As we waited, we spotted the fish and chips which is ENORMOUS. Seriously, if you can, order that too. The half lobster looked pretty good too, and a great deal at £13.50. Our oysters were large, fresh and delicious, so good we came back later for another round. I was thrilled with the place. Definitely would come back for a visit.

We knew there are no reservations, you just wait in line until a table of your liking gets free (inside our outside with a view). We arrived around 7pm and waited for a table outside. It only took about 20mins, which was less than expected. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. Got a table with amazing sunset views. Breathtaking. Sadly the location and the sunset were the only highlights that night. We enjoy fish and seafood. All over the world. Normandy, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Thailand, Japan. And so on. We've had our share of great and not so great fish and seafood. Sadly the food here belongs to the latter. Visually it was a feast for your eyes. But sadly not for your taste buds. The lobster was pretty small and very dry. Overcooked and overpriced. The oysters just ok, nowhere near irish, french or scottish quality. Not creamy enough. The shrimps were fine. But nothing near great. Best to drown them in the sauce and Mayo that came with The seafood platter was all cold food - but we knew that before ordering, nothing wrong with that. It's just the quality that was missing overall. The salmon was possibly the worst. Low quality, smelly fish. Seasnails were ok, but the small shrimp not. Just tried one. Fries came with the lobster. Soft and soggy. There was also bread and salad. I enjoyed the bread and butter the most of the whole meal. Which is a sad statement. Had some wine with our meal. 20cl mini-bottles of a quality that's best to forget. Staff was very very busy, but ok. And as I said, the views are amazing. But you could grab some take-out food anywhere and sit down somewhere on the Whitstable beach and get the same view. We really wanted to enjoy this place. But quality wasn't there. And the prices for that really way too high. Whitstable is a place to come back to one day. The Lobster Shack isn't.

The tables are laid with place mats and food is served in seventies stainless steel serving trays. A new pine bar has been installed in the last couple of years which admittedly brings this section of the restaurant into the 80's. Aside from the decor (which I actually like I hasten to add) the food is absoultely fantastic and so much cheaper that some more pretentious fish restaurants in the town. A full shellfish platter for two (including a whole lobster and a whole crab) is around £45. And it is delicious. Or you can go for the more traditional fish and chips. If you have room after there is a wide selection of (really old fashioned) deserts. The staff are lovely and make you feel so welcome. The views out to the sea are unrivaled. Definitely earns it's 5 stars in my book !

And in our…read morecase this was the second choice as the first restaurant we wanted was fully booked, but honestly, I don't mind and I am glad the first place was book as this restaurant was excellent. The layout is a bit dated but don't let that fool you, with a view of the beach across the street this is a lovely place to have dinner. My girlfriend and I both had grilled fish options. I went with the Salmon and she had the Sea Bass. Both were delicious, although hers was looking up at her with sad dead eyes. We also had some shrimp as an appetizer that was excellent. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is that we went in August of 2020 (the era of COVID) and the waitress and others working at the restaurant were not properly wearing masks. The waitress had one on, that she would pull down when talking to us so as to be heard better. Making the mask pointless

As a person who doesn't go to Brighton often I had a quick look on Yelp and zillions of fish places came up. Eventually someone in the group suggested this place as we were only looking for somewhere to take our food with us. We turned up and ordered a lot of fish. I was surprised that they actually cooked the fish that time and it wasn't already cooked and placed under heaters as in London. Eventually this resulted in crispy batter that didn't separate much from the fish and nice, flaky cod that kept its texture throughout. The squid was brilliant, I could eat a ton of that. It felt like it was deep fried in butter and it wasn't elastic or chewy at all. Chips were typical chip shop fare. Pretty good.

If you love seafood, you will fall in love with Wright Brothers. We came here with family and tried several items on the menu. They were all amazing. The oysters were extremely fresh. The fish pie was perfectly seasoned and piping hot with a cheesey, golden mashed potato crust....unlike any I have tried before. The cuttlefish and black ink rice entree, as well as their octopus, tomato, almond, and capers appetizer were artfully executed. It requires a great deal of skill to cook octopus or cuttlefish without overcooking it and coverting it to a rubbery nightmare. Compliments to the chef. His execution of these dishes was phenomenal. Both were tender and flavorful. Lastly, the cocktails. The selection of cocktails is limited, but they too are amazingly well executed and well thought out to perfectly compliment the menu selections. My only warning,..this place is tiny, so expect a bit of a wait, but it will definitely be worth it.
