The 13 Best Restaurants In Brighton & Hove - London - The Infatuation

"We don’t make a habit of using the word ‘twee’, but this old-school seafood shack on Brighton Beach is gloriously twee. From the ‘80s charm of the crabsticks to the pour-your-own vinegar station complete with a printed meme seagull warning, this is the ideal spot to start your trip. Order a dozen freshly shucked Jersey oysters with homemade chilli dressing and the delightfully rich, slapdash crab roll while you’re at it. Then, grab one of their tables on the beach. It’s walk-up-only, but rest assured the queue moves fast. Oh, and if you fancy adding a pint to the proceedings, you can order one from the grab-and-go hatch at The Tempest Inn nearby." - heidi lauth beasley

Brighton Shellfish and Oyster Bar Review - Brighton - London - The Infatuation

"We don’t make a habit of using the word ‘twee’, but this old-school seafood shack on Brighton beach is oh-so gloriously twee. From the '80s charm of the crabsticks to the pour-your-own vinegar station complete with a printed meme seagull warning, this is the ideal spot to start your trip or to have lunch on the beach when you can’t really be bothered to find out where your Birkenstocks are. POA: order a dozen freshly shucked Jersey oysters with homemade chilli dressing and the delightfully rich, slapdash crab roll while you’re at it. Then, grab one of their tables on the beach. It’s walk-up only, but rest assured the queue moves fast. Oh, and if you fancy adding a pint to the proceedings, you can order one from the grab-and-go hatch at The Tempest Inn nearby." - Heidi Lauth Beasley

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:)

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!

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.

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!

This little beachfront kiosk, has a lot to offer in the way of fresh local seafood. Additionally, a little kiosk also sells other seafood, but this has been imported, and some of it are no so real seafood, just looking like that. The food is very picturesque and they have great seating by the water. I wish they more catch of the day style stuffs

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.

Got a couple of lobster tails for £3 each with a little seafood dip. Good price and a nice little vintage gaff with some decent selection. The main geezer with the camera on his bonce is a bit of a laugh too. OysterBros are coming for SpudBros!

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.
