The food was cooked to order and for the small price of a short wait, it was delivered piping hot Mmm. I can see why people travel from around the island to get fish and chips here. The batter is so light and non greasy, staying super crunchy. The fish and prawns were fresh and a generous portion was served. The servers also gave us a generous portion of scraps (crispy bits) at my request The chips were also crispy shelled and had a fluffy interior. They didn't become soggy at the bottom like a lot of chip shop chips Definite 5 star venue

The place is spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, child friendly and most importantly serves amazing food. We went back quite a few times.

The fish and chips, the crab avocado crayfish stacks, the seafood medley, the seafood salad, the crab sandwiches. I could go on and on. (Tip: try their wonderful choice of prosecco- a stunner!)

Expectations were high for the rustic Italian bistro but did not live up to the hype at all. Highlight was the tomato bruschetta. The crab version tasted like from a jar and the pesto was just ok. The mini pizzas were undercooked which made the like soggy bread. The antipasto platter was nice but the meat was sparse with just bresaola and salami for the extra £5. As for the pastas (carbonara and seafood) both were underwhelming. Surprising lack of flavour for the carbonara given the amount of pancetta and bresaola in it and the seafood was a creamy tomato reminiscent of thousand island. Who puts cream in seafood pasta?!?! Very disappointing and wish I had listened to the articles about the chef moving on in 2013 rather than recent reviews. I'd recommend you avoid and go to one of the local pubs in Shanklin which looked quite nice.

The ambience is lovely, quaint and warm. Fresh fish of the day can be seen in the front window, skilled chefs are working away and a couple of water tanks for the live seafood are visible from the dining room. I had a crab soup which was surprisingly delicious, similar to a lobster bisque. Fresh bread started us off, warm from the oven and soft inside. I chose a special of the day, the fish was tender and flavourful, melting off the bone and infused with lemon and capers. My partners dish of hake with risotto was absolutely delicious, something I'd order if I were to go back. All In all a lovely dining experience in a scenic location.

It was the perfect evening meal after walking about 15 miles all over the island. The food was glorious: I had the grilled sardines as a starter and pork chops as my main. The sardines were a revelation, mouth watering in a lemon and garlicky sauce. The pork was perfectly cooked and the sides of steamed veggies and chips (one needs a bit of vice) were of such large proportions, I might have been at home here in the U.S. Even after all that food, I opted for dessert because they had Eton Mess on the menu and I couldn't resist. It was amazing! Truly one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. The meringue was crisp and had a slight lemon tang to it and despite all the cream, it was light, airy and so delicious! This was a budget trip for me so I didn't seek fine dining experiences. That said, this was a glorious and special meal, the best I had during my visit.

Having just returned from a visit to family in the States, the Coronavirus lockdown had just begun as we moved down to Chichester for several months to look after my ailing father-in-law. One of the highlights during his closing months was a trip out to what he deemed as "one of the finest & chip shops he'd ever seen in years." I'm happy to say he was right. Moby's was open both before and just after the height of lockdown, maintaining the same high standards with their food and hygiene as ever. Their portions are generous and the fish is lovely. We made a few visits there as my partner's father enjoyed the outing and the staff were an absolute dream. I expressed my appreciation to them after he left us and we've made a number of visits back since. Many thanks to Moby's and the team there, who come with our hearty recommendation!
