Outlaw's Fish Kitchen

We had a wonderful meal at Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen last Thursday lunchtime. Excellent food and wine with great front of house staff. Would recommend the lobster to everyone, especially as we could see the boat that had caught it that morning. Having spent the week in Padstow and having eaten at many of the excellent restaurants Padstow has to offer, we can easily say Outlaw’s Fish Kitchen was our favourite of the holiday! If you are in Cornwall and enjoy your food and wine, put it on your list please.

Outlaws fish kitchen is a wonderful little spot in the heart of port Isaac. It’s very casual and laid back but the dishes are prepared with the deft hand of a Michelin starred chef. They pay homage to classic fish kitchens even writing the days catch on the white board. It’s simple. It’s delicious. It’s as laid back as a Cornwall afternoon on the beach.

There's more to Port Isaac than Doc Martin; Outlaw's Fish Kitchen being one of them! With great views across the harbour and fish fresh off the boat, the fish kitchen is a must for any 'foodie' visiting Cornwall. Standout dishes were the sea bass, pepper cured monk dish, soused mackerel and crispy hake, but there are no 'fillers' on this menu, just 'killers'. Service was great, although expect to serve your own wine and water as there won't be the wine service you would expect from a Michelin Star restaurant. Enjoy the views and exceptional food at this great restaurant!

Outlaw's Fish Kitchen offers a selection of fish dishes paired with seasonal cocktails. We started with a selection of oysters which included crispy oysters, pickled oysters and plain oysters to enjoy with a topping of choice. These oysters were easily the tastiest I've ever had. The selection of dishes we had were each carefully crafted and tasted great. We shared a lobster which is rich in flavour and covered in a delicious butter sauce. The staff were extremely welcoming and so friendly. If you find yourself visiting Port Isaac I recommend Outlaw's Fish Kitchen, but book ahead as this small and cosy establishment books up in advance!

Made a booking weeks prior to my trip to Cornwall and is pleased to say that Nathan Outlaw has successfully delivered some of the best seafood dishes I’ve had in the UK. Located in the middle of the quaint Port Issac and in a historic Grade-I building, diners are immediately transported to a cozy, welcoming setting where servers ensured that every part of the experience feels like a homage to home. FOOD REVIEW: Crispy Porthilly Oyster, Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato - 5/5⭐️ Panko-crusted and deep fried, creamy in the inside with a perfect crunchy exterior. While the crisp lettuce cuts through the richness of the oyster, the acidity of the tomato balances out the oiliness of the dish, resulting in a flavour explosion that will certainly be remembered. Crispy Cuttlefish, saffron mayonnaise - 2.5/5⭐️ Unfortunately underwhelming as it was over-seasoned and slightly overcooked. Expectations were high but this dish struggled to deliver. Baked Free-Dived Scallop, Orange & Rosemary Butter - 4.5/5⭐️ The scallop was cooked to perfection and covered in buttery, aromatic sauce packed with freshness. Harbourside Feast - 5/5⭐️ A feast that leaves you with a smile on your face. The Poseidon’s Pot alone deserves a Michelin star - lobster, octopus and red mullet cooked in the heartiest seafood broth, soaking up all the aromatic flavours and leaving you wanting for more. Other highlights included in the set are the pickled anchovies, steamed lobster dumplings and that extremely soft sourdough to soak up all the sauces. Such a value for money considering the variety of dishes included in the set and how every single one was to die for. Basil Cream, Strawberry, Oat Crumble - 3/5⭐️ Projection of the basil flavour unfortunately on the weaker side but overall a pleasant way to cleanse the pallet and wrap up the meal. FOOD: 4.5/5⭐️ SERVICE: 5/5⭐️ ATMOSPHERE: 5/5⭐️ OVERALL: 4.75/5⭐️

I did not expect this level of restaurant in Port Isaac. Beyond doubt some of the most outstanding seafood I've ever eaten, coupled with a relaxed and friendly service in a historic location. Perfection. The harissa scallops and the lobster were the absolute highlight!

Probably the best dining experience I’ve had in the UK. The dinner my friend and I had here was superb. We had the tasting menu with lobster and everything was perfectly prepared, the Cornish wine was fantastic, and the staff were wonderful.

Cold environment. I would rather they did something internally to cut out the cold from the windows other than hand over a blanket. It is possible to have non permanent internal fixtures for windows in cottages that are non intrusive to help keep out the cold. The food was cooked nicely but very little choice other than fish stew or small plates, or take out a small loan for fish of the day. The food was nicely cooked and prepared but the cost of £250 for lunch for 2, for what we had is quite frankly ridiculous (this includes the cheapest bottle of wine and a 10% tip). It was not a pleasant experience because we were cold, and although the food was cooked well it was not worthy of the price tag. We have eaten at Nathan’s a few times before and booked a foodie getaway holiday once, visiting both restaurants as a treat. It has never been cheap but we usually felt there was value attached to the price tag. However, the price for lunch yesterday was excessive. I treated my husband and felt a little frustrated as I do not believe we had good value for our money. Sorry but I don’t think we will dine here again.
