I'm not generally a big fan of fish and chips, but this place has restored my faith in how good it can be when it all goes right.

OK sadly I'm going to have to edit my review. For years and years and years Mary Jane's has been…read morethe best fish shop ever (see below for why) but I visited it a couple of times in August this year and was really disappointed as the quality of the food has gown downhill hugely. The fish was dry and the batter was fairly tasteless, nd the chips, while okay, were nothing more. Service was slow too, though they were very buy (as always). I'll no doubt go to Mary Jane's again some time and hopefully will find it was just having n off day, but for now I'm going to have to downgrade my rating to merely average. Previously on Qype.com ... Best. Chip Shop. Ever. Quite simply the best chippie I've ever been too - I first sampled Mary Jane's about 30 years ago on holiday, and I still go there pretty much every year now. Mary Jane's is legendary in Cromer - that's why there's always a queue outside this chippie and not the one opposite! Expect to queue for takeaway - but the queue is fast moving, they take your order, then you wait at the back of the shop while it's cooked. That way they can get through a busy queue quickly. Haddock is especially good but they also do cod, rock and skate as well as a load of other things. Chips are just superb. The restaurant is also very good, the same quality fish and chips plus other meals including scampi, pizza, pie etc. It gets very busy and you may well have to wait in the evenings. The restaurant has a licence so you can sup a beer alongside your fish but better still, go for the lime milkshake - sublime!

Yes, I forced myself to have their third Snack: Prawn Popcorn with Marie Rose Aioli, a joy to my tastebuds. My starter was the seared Scallop, see the picture, yum. The Main: Roasted Monkfish Tail, WONDERFUL. See the pictures. This restaurant is on My Favorites List. Thanks to the Chef and the great service.

We went for a birthday lunch to the Wells Crab House with high expectations. Unfortunately we were…read morea bit disappointed. The setting and interior are nice enough and, in fairness, the main dish of teriyaki sea trout was tasty. However, the starter of halibut was overcooked and we hardly recognised it as halibut and we did not really feel relaxed. What is also a minus is the fact that a deposit of £30 was taken off the credit card a few hours before we arrived. Not a bad meal, but next time we'll go somewhere else.

Updating my review - with actually no significant update. There's not really anything to improve…read more This restaurant is my favourite in Wells (in Norfolk, actually). The ingredients are local, the menu is seasonal and the daily specials are well considered, fresh and all-round delightful. Though I don't drink, I understand the gin (and tonic) selection to be incredible. Whilst definitely not the cheapest place to eat locally, it is more than reasonable with the fresh, local ingredients and the skill obviously put into making them. Most recently I visited and between three of us sampled (read: devoured) some cod cheek tempura, scallops with an avocado purée, sesame tempura prawns, fish & chips and a double-serving of seafood chowder. These were mainly daily specials and so I had requested earlier in the day that they didn't run out of chowder for me. It honestly is the best thing ever. Saying that - as much as I adore chowder - the cod cheeks are amongst the best dishes I have ever tasted. The food is seasoned perfectly. The fish is so well respected in terms of being just-done and the service is so friendly and familiar without being over-bearing. I would always ALWAYS recommend it here. (new photos attached)

It's hard to think of a more comforting thing to do on a stormy autumn day than sit up in the restaurant on their chic leather sofas, sipping hot chocolate as the wind whips up the waves. Food's great too, with decent portions and great service from what appears to be the entire sixth form of Cromer high school. If the view does begin to bore, nip downstairs to the lifeboat museum.

If fresh fish is your dish this place is one of the best in North Norfolk. Inside it's a plain and…read moresimple format; good seating, big windows looking out, and two eating areas In the evenings book to avoid disappointment and at the weekends or high season even a breakfast table is a booking must. 90% of the fish served I reckon is locally caught, you choose and then decide how you want it cooked; poached, steamed, pan fried etc then pick your sauce! Very DIY, but a novel approach, the local shell fish and crabs are also a must. Starters are few, but you can cobble together one of your own with a bit of imagination, try a plate of local samphire a.k.a poor man's asparagus with bread and lemon juice for dressing, you'll either love it or hate it, but like Welsh lava bread it has to be tried! Check out their website http://www.fishesrestaurant.co.uk for opening times and if you fancy a bed for the night they offer rooms above on a BB basis, imagine that for a tale yah we had a great weekend, stayed above a fish shop!
