    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).

    As of 03.02.2012, this is The Albion Ale Bar. They do not serve nasty, fizzy keg beers, but do have…read moresome superb local real ale; at time of writing, a choice of four plus a real draught stout. There are three areas a lounge, the bar area and a smoke room, in which, of course, no smoking is allowed. The lounge and the smoke room both have wonderful open fires essential as I am writing this. The welcome from the knowledgeable staff is also warm and the locals are very friendly to we incomers. There are no TV's, no juke-box and no food (other than bags of Tyrrell's crisps) so that conversation dominates. Upper Gate Street is also the road which leads directly to the Youth Hostel, making this the first pub hostellers encounter heading into town a definite plus for us!

    Once upon a time the Albion was the favoured haunt of some of Conwy's most hardened drinkers,…read morealbeit one of some architectural merit (it is in fact a Grade II listed building). In recent years it hit hard times and was eventually closed down. However there has been a recent development that will be of interest to proper beer drinkers. The pub has been purchased by a mysterious London based banker with roots in North Wales. He's re-opened it partnership with four local breweries The Conwy Brewery, the Great Orme Brewery, Bragdy Nant Brewery as well as the Purple Moose Brewery from Porthmadog. The pub is now a dedicated real-ale boozer with a particular emphasis on locally produced ales. There won't be any food (apart from crisps) as the premises doesn't have a kitchen so it will still be a drinker's pub but hopefully one with a more discerning clientele than of days gone by.
