But it also has a few picnic tables our front where you can sit and eat some of the local seafood fare. I went for a sensible prawn cocktail, which was delicious. Served with some fresh crispy salad and some brown bread, it rocked. My partner went for the cold platter, which in hindsight was really a sharing platter, because it was huge! He loved it, but I had to help him eat it, as we didn't want to leave any of it behind. I had a few mussels the first time in my life and they tasted great. I've not had any mussels since, for fear they wont be near as nice. If I am ever back in the area I am going to make sure we get back to Britannia Shell Fish for some yummy seafood. The guy serving us was a nice rocker dude, who chatted to my partner about the rock tee shirt he was wearing. Turned out, he had been to same rock festival that year. Oh almost forgot, their coffee was pretty good too.

Not being a seafood lover, we went to Hix for the sake of my partner's love of fish. In saying that…read moreI did brave the crab starter (dressed) and found it to be absolutely delicious. My partner also had the crab and felt the same. Enough seafood for me I looked to the steak for my main. This was tender, juicy and well seasoned. I had asked for it to be cooked medium-rare, but it came to me more medium. However, it was so tasty I didn't mind. With the tomato and basil salad to accompany I was very impressed. My partner, on the recommendation of our waiter had the huss which he had never tried before. He loved his main also... We greedily decided to have pudding as well, as coming to this restaurant for us was a treat because the prices aren't necessarily in our usual budget for dining out. Anyway, I stuck with sorbet because by this stage I was quite full. My partner went for the buttermilk tart with the salted caramel ice cream. Well! He was in heaven... I did have a sneaky taste of his and it was absolutely lush. That ice cream is something else!! All in all, we really enjoyed the two hours or so we spent lolling about. We didn't feel rushed, the staff were incredibly helpful and professional yet still casual enough to make us feel comfortable. Thanks a lot guys, we'll be sure to tell all our friends in Oxford!

A fishmongers, they are still out there Tovey's has been out there for ages in fact, as Melanie pointed it's a family business, which is evident when you step inside, you are given fantastic service and feel like a long lost cousin being welcomed by the family. Also the fish, from my relativley small experience of fish (as i'm more a red meat sort of person), is fantastic. If your a bit 'iffy' about the whole fish situation they will sort everything out for you, very e-fish-ent (pardon the pun!), and give you some guidence if your not sure about the cooking method. Selection as well is second to none, it was like all the characters from Finding Nemo where there for you to select and eat!

Toveys is a family business and it shows - friendly service and a generation-to-generation passion for seafood is evident in all their signs, customer banter and the beautiful display of fish they sell. They not only supply you and I with fresh produce, but also lots of the restaurants and hotels around the city - evidence enough that this is the place to go. The scallops are plump, the mussels abundant and the mackerel glossy and line caught, the refridgerated section includes an appealing looking selection of game, which includes hare, grouse and venison. Most importantly, as I always get a bit freaked out about having to deal with fish - they'll do all the boning, gutting, filleting and cleaning you'll need - all ready for the frying pan.

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.

There is A LOT of fish to walk past. However, that just means that there's a really good selection of fish. I, obviously, don't eat fish. But I went to buy some the other day because I was trying to make a meal for my boyfriend, who loves seafood. (Incidentally, it didn't go well - but it's the thought that counts, right? He helped and it was all good in the end!) But the fishmonger man was very helpful, especially when I explained that I had no clue what I was doing. I personally wouldn't go back, just because I think I've proved to myself that I'm not a fish cook. But the experience was very good (after I got over the disgust at seeing all the fish faces staring at me) with regards to customer service and quality.
