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.
