    CrabShack - Slipsole in a mussel sopressata sauce

    We came in for lunch today and it was phenomenal. Ambiance under the big tent out front was great!…read more Food did take some time to arrive but it was worth it. We started with the crispy squid with a very unique dipping aioli. I had the lobster roll special, my mom had the slip sole in a mussel sauce (also on special) and my aunt the dressed crab. Portions were good sized, everything was excellent! Will add to my rotations of restaurants!

    I was recently recommended this restaurant by a friend of mine, so when my in laws came to visit…read moretoday I decided it would be a good idea to take them to try it out. The restaurant is located right on the beach and the exterior is really rather lovely and inviting. When we went inside we were greeted by very friendly staff and were invited to sit at a nice table by the open kitchen. The menu is very small and could do with a few extra choices on it, especially seeing as they had run out of two of the main dishes by the time that we arrived at 2pm. Left with not a lot of choice, we decided to go for 2 sharing platters between four of us. Sadly, the food took really quite a lot of time to get to us. When it did arrive, however, the food was extremely decent and there was a lot of it. It is probably a good job that the food is decent as sadly there are a few points that let it down. There is only one toilet in the whole restaurant which is really rather shocking and particularly bad for me as an IBS sufferer. This alone is almost enough for me to not want to come back. In addition to this, the fact that they ran out of food extremely quickly (2 items gone when we arrived, the main dessert gone by the time that we finished our meal, and ALL food gone by the time that we left!). All in all, I am unsure if I would go back or not. I have to say that I did very much enjoy the food, but there might be a few too many downsides for me to look past to try the food again.

    This is a mecca for any seafood lover. The food here is so good and the produce so fresh that you…read morewon't find anything like it for miles. Its a real rustic kind of place and you can't help but feel relaxed when inside. The staff are friendly and helpful and always offer some advice on which is a good thing to order (there's so much to choose from! There's always something on the menu that has been caught that day which is a real treat to taste but usually go for something from the 'spoiler' menu (so called as its good to spoil your self once in a while) and last time went for the Fish Factory Wellington which is like a beef wellington but with cuts of fresh fish in a cheese sauce. Its decadent but absolutely mouth watering!

    This was hands-down, top five best fish I have ever eaten so far. We walked in fairly late at night…read morewithout any reservations, but the servers (who were lovely) seated us in 5 mins and then gave our party of three a heads up that our dishes would be some time and if we were hungry, we should get some starters. We were okay to wait and it was so worth it. The bouillabaisse ordered by my brother, gosh, I wanted to lick his plate clean. In fact I will so order this dish if lucky enough to go back. But my grilled fish (I got the special of the night, forget the type) was pretty fantastic too. The third diner got the same as me, and we both just loved the taste of the marinade which was super clean, and just totally complimented the taste of the fish. We both also found that our seafood dishes were grilled to absolute perfection. I am so envious of the locals that they have this excellent restaurant in their area. If you are visiting and don't try a meal here, it would be a real loss. As for me, I need to plan another trip to Littlehampton so can dine here again!

    You can't walk more than a few feet in Brighton without seeing a seafood restaurant. And in our…read morecase this was the second choice as the first restaurant we wanted was fully booked, but honestly, I don't mind and I am glad the first place was book as this restaurant was excellent. The layout is a bit dated but don't let that fool you, with a view of the beach across the street this is a lovely place to have dinner. My girlfriend and I both had grilled fish options. I went with the Salmon and she had the Sea Bass. Both were delicious, although hers was looking up at her with sad dead eyes. We also had some shrimp as an appetizer that was excellent. The only reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is that we went in August of 2020 (the era of COVID) and the waitress and others working at the restaurant were not properly wearing masks. The waitress had one on, that she would pull down when talking to us so as to be heard better. Making the mask pointless

    Well you have to say this is a bizarre little place. Its a step back in time for sure...look a the…read morephotos...but... ...the staff are great, the service is great, the food is superb and apparently the Irish coffee was also really good...don't go there for the house wine though but its OK So why go, the food yes but the prices....its absolutely amazing...2 good sized lemon sole off the bone with potatoes were the same price as I can buy just 1 in the market, but of course its cooked too. We had a little bottle of fizz each, while we were waiting, 200cl like you used to get on airplanes...drinkable, fun experience..£5 each....seriously there is nothing not to like! And nearly everyone in there was a regular or returned every year when on holiday...everyone seemed to know everyone..and you will understand why they comeback...we will Great (unusual) place, run I think by Greek Cypriots...a lot of Greek stuff on the menu too Check it out!
