Great, freshly caught lobster and crab…read more We stayed in lovely Johnshaven for two nights. Just around the corner from our place was Murry McBay. We were looking for some fresh seafood and asked them were to buy some. We were very happy to learn that we can purchase lobsters and crabs directly from them, freshly caught (and still alive). We even got a box for them. So we bought two nice-sized crabs and a lobster. And....it did cost....9£!!! I mean wow....you can forget any seafood counter at any grocery store. Unbeatable prices and freshness! We cooked them for dinner. Great great flavour...did I mention already how fresh they were? Yeah, I guess I did. One of the crabs was female and had loads of eggs....a feast for seafood-lovers! So, if you stay in Johnshaven...or anywhere close: Look no further! This is THE place! Not sure about opening times, we just walked by, asked and got lucky.

We love it either raw or for BBQ - it does look and smell very fresh Not everything there is local, but you can buy local eggs (not free range though) But, it can be quite pricey there - unless you go for their offers. The huge prawns, tuna, dressed crab or lobster (if you don't mind him alive) are definitely a treat

It has a quaint atmosphere, with a fire in the fireplace on one side and the nicest people working. They instantly made us feel at home. Most of the dishes we ordered consisted of the local specialty, smokies. Every one of us enjoyed the food. Also, the food was served with large dishes of various veggies. We were all more than filled when we left.

Saturdays can be pretty mental, but they are always willing to take time and vacuum pack your fish for you to ensure it stays fresh in the freezer. I love this place and spend far too much of my money here, but I will never buy fish in a supermarket again, as long as I live in a reasonable distance from Kerachers.

We had great starters, mains and desserts, mainly fish but also the meat dishes are great and the specials are nice as well. We were a bit disappointed by the fact you really have to ask for bread and when it comes it is not a lot with a strange tasting butter. Most unfortunate was that we were forgotten for quite a while before being served. They apologised, but service can be inconsistent.
