It cost 60 pound for the one dish but was definitely sharing size and consisted among other things of... lobster, whelks, cockles, prawns, shrimp, mussels, clams, smoked salmon, crab meat, pate, bread and a lot more. It was fresh heaven served in a former cockle-shed right by the boats. I'll let the photos I've uploaded tell the rest. The food was certainly worth the travel to this nice corner of Essex and Simply Seafood will get our visit once again for sure. Nice location, staff and ambiance and great mounds of seafood all round!

We went there last summer and I booked it because of the good comments on other websites. And I am glad we did. We arrived there and the place was packed, there was only one little table available next to the window, overlooking the beach and the Estuary. The sun was setting down and the a candle was alight in the table. And yeah! That was our table. The menu is not really extense BUT the quality is AMAZING. We had a lovely Camembert cheese, fish and a risotto and I still remember it like one of the best foods I have ever had since I moved to the UK. Oh, and there was a lady playing the piano and singing. Really nice. I would recomend it to everybody :)

Las Vegas Grill is the first chippie you see if you're walking down to the seafront from the coach park so it's brilliantly places for those desperately wanting their favorite deep fried fishes. After a surprisingly sunny day on the beach and in the arcades (so surprising I didn't bring suncream and came home a lovely shade of lobster) we needed to get some fish and chips in. No trip to Southend is complete without it. On previous visits I've normally gone a bit further away from the town and found some nice chippy gems, but we were in a bit of a rush and this place seemed quiet. As with all the chippies along this strip it's massive and has most of the seating hidden for off peak season. It's all full of plastic tables and chairs, dodgy salt shakers and very dated. But that's all part of the charm right? Las Vegas Grill is not the cheapest option on the strip because of it's location. The Fish and Chips come out on a fish shaped plate!!!! Inspired. However the downside it tartar sauce in packets. Is always a sad sight in a proper Fish and Chip Joint, My Mrs and coworkers enjoyed theirs more than I did. I've personally had better. The Chips were a tad soggy for me and the fish a bit bland. However pleasant enough. There was a lovely waitress there that day who was just lovely. Proper service with a smile and couldn't do enough. That extra Star is for her!!
