Brighton Shellfish & Oyster Bar

This cozy oyster bar is definitely a hidden gem in Brighton, located right by the beach. It has limited seating, but all the spots offer beautiful sea views, making it a very relaxing place to enjoy a meal! I ordered oysters, crayfish, and dressed crab, and everything was delicious and incredibly fresh. I loved the crayfish so much that I ordered another serving. They offer seafood in three different portion sizes—small, medium, and large—which is very thoughtful. The female owner was also nice and friendly, reminding us to watch out for the "pirates" while dining! Overall, a fantastic trip experience by the beach during the weekend:)

Right on the beach, it is as simple and as perfect as it gets. Fresh oysters, prawns, and seafood served straight to you with the sea as your backdrop. Grab a plate, sit on the pebbles, and let the view do the rest. It’s the kind of spot where the salt air makes everything taste even better. Just one word of advice: guard your food. The seagulls in Brighton are fearless, and they know exactly where the best oysters are being served. No frills, no fuss, just seaside seafood.

Had the nicest Jersey Oysters - reasonably priced - sitting by the beach. This place offers great variety of seafood including cockles, whelks, shrimp and anchovies - all you can wish when visiting the seaside. Beware of the massive seagulls! Can be very nasty - had one coming out of nowhere in the sky, knocking my head and diving into my cockles pot!

I had the pleasure of dining at a seaside kiosk and tried their famous crab and lobster rolls. I have to say, they were both incredibly fresh and delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the ingredients were top-notch. The crab meat was sweet and juicy, while the lobster was succulent and full of flavor. The rolls themselves were soft and perfectly toasted, adding a nice crunch to each bite. What really made this dining experience special, however, was the stunning sea view. The kiosk is situated right by the water's edge and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the ocean. It was truly unforgettable, and made the meal even more enjoyable.

Great for all types of seafood. The whelks were massive and tasty. We asked for them to be cut up as they were so big which they did for us. Marinated octopus was also good. Highly recommended.My Korean partner was prepared and brought her Gochujang sauce although there is chill vinegar, pepper etc available

Very fresh oysters, delicious shrimp and octopus as snacks. Do not take rapanas, they are hard and poorly washed. Fast and pleasant service. very democratic prices)) The tables stand right on the pebbles of the beach, which at the same time is simple and with a beautiful view. The only thing is that there is no cover, probably not very pleasant when it rains or is hot.

In Brighton, you can either spend 40, 50 quid on a dozen of oyster for 15-20% better quality in some seafood restaurants or spend 20 quid for a dozen of oysters which are pretty good as well at The Brighton Shellfish & Oyster bar. I personally like to come here eat a dozen or 2 oysters then go to Riddle for half to a dozen more. Oysters: not just the oysters but their seafood are generally pretty value for money. As mentioned above, whenever I visit Brighton, I come here to eat atleast a dozen or 2 oysters with some other seafood. Oysters are 6 for £10, pretty fresh as usual, can be sweeter, creamier, bigger, but oh well, for the price, I ain't complaining. Seafood mix with lobster tail - love the seafood mix, a lot of different seafood in 1 bowl. Even the lobster tail is not real lobster but I really enjoyed it, not so much for my mate haha. Can wait to come back and eat 3 dozens next time. 🦪🤙🏻

This is everything you would except from an establishment of this kind. I got cockles, whelks, oysters and a lobster roll. All very fresh which came to £21. I loved the condiment stand where you can marinate your shellfish whichever way you like! There was 4 different vinegars to chose from! They offer ice packs for takeaway but as I was close by they didn’t give me one for my bits I got after eating there. You can’t come to the seaside and not get cockles with lashings of vinegar & you won’t be disappointed!

A great selection of seafood, I could camp out and graze all afternoon if they also had beer. They've got different types of shrimp, marinated octopus, , oysters, whelks, and jellied ell. The selections are great and fresh.

Saw some of the most delicious seafood I'd seen in England in the glass pane, so I just had to get a crab and shrimp sandwich. Kind of underfilled (or the bread roll was way too big), but I enjoyed it. Should've gotten oysters instead.

Had the crayfish, it didn't smell fresh. Small portion too. But the sauces were great

YUM YUM YUM! I have never been the world's biggest lover of seafood but I love this place! They have the freshest shellfish and seafood in the area and the staff are so friendly, they treat you as though you are a regular. I love having the odd munch of seafood when I visit the seaside and it will always be from this place.
