    We stayed in nearby Deganwy for a few days. Wanted to grab some good and fresh oysters. And this…read moreseems the place to get some good stuff, so we had a quick drive and were lucky to catch one of the very few parkings spaces here at the port. Got a bunch of fresh oysters, some crab meat and some shrimp. The oyster of course we ate right away. The shrimp and the crab meat we've had for dinner later that day. Quality was great. Fresh, smooth and creamy oysters. The crab meat was lovely sweet, full of flavours. With the shrimp we made some tasty seafood dip. Really a nice place to grab some fresh and tasty seafood. Friendly people, fair prices.

    Apparently the only mussels traditionally fished in the UK are raked by these guys! You can…read morepreorder fish and shellfish online, or if you're a tourist like me you can buy from the Ready-to-Eat selection at the counter. They're tiny pots of unseasoned boiled and chilled seafood from about 2.5-4£ a pot depending on whether it's prawns, mussels, cockles, whelks, crayfish, etc. Perfectly size for sampling if you can't commit or want to sample them all. There are condiments available for you to season after, but I prefer to eat them as-is, since plain boiled fresh seafood is already have their own briny flavor. Provided are forks, toothpicks, salt, pepper, mayo, Marie Rose sauce (ketchup mayo).

    We chose the Lobster Pot for a family meal and what a lovely evening it turned out to be for all…read more We had a mixture of adults and young children but the staff at the Lobster Pot could not be more accommodating to our requests. The meals were fabulous and the service brilliant. I cannot recommend the Lobster Pot highly enough and we will definitely be visiting the Lobster Pot again in the future.

    We went to this well talked up restaurant during our short 5 day holiday on this beautiful island…read more We were staying in a beautiful cottage nearby and were excited to check out the place and fill ourselves with great, fresh sea food. I must say that overall we were a bit disappointed and that our experience did not reflect at all what other reviews here and elsewhere have related. Upon arrival you find yourself a bit confused about where to go. On the left is the restaurant proper with small groups of people eating and looking at you like you shouldn't be there. Then a waitress notices you, gives us the same look and took us to the bar/waiting lounge area for us to grab a drink and look at the menu. That bit is fine and rather agreeable actually. I wasn't balled over by the choice of beer but the wine list is attractive and we enjoyed our wine. Shown to our table we were quickly served our starters. My partner had been dreaming about getting some oysters for a long time so was really looking forward to it. They also grill the oysters with welsh cheese and I thought that I would give that a try, feeling curious. The standard oysters tasted good and fresh enough but mine were just flooded with a massive dollop of gooey cheese which is not quite what I was hoping for as I could not taste any oyster which were a lukewarm texture thing under what was bog standard cheddar that could have come from Tesco. We then ordered the lobster thermidor. I never had lobster thermidor before and to be fair rarely order lobster as it's an expensive shellfish. But I have had lobster before, albeit cooked differently. What we got was rather tasteless chewy chunks of lobster meat flooded in a butter and shallot sauce. LOADS of sauce. I don't really want to sound like a whingebag ( I know, big fail) but in a place like Anglesey which should be swarming with superb fresh seafood, having this kind of food on a plate on the sea side is just too disappointing. Especially from a place that claims to do it justice. To alleviate things somewhat, the service did improve upon the initial reception and our waitress was very attentive and patient. I just hope we came on a bad day but considering the bill I don't feel like having another go anytime soon.
