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!
Incredible crayfish and oysters. Well shucked and delicious with lovely optional sauces. Lovely folks and amazing location. Highly recommend
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
I go here every time I’m in Brighton, such amazing fresh oysters! Great price and the staff are always lovely!
For a few days we came from London to this beautiful seaside town of Brighton. My daughter took us along the paths of her role model Zoe, who lives in this place. We sat on the beach, had oysters at the beach oyster bar and enjoyed the sun. Oysters of all ages and at a moderate price.
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:)
