Shoals Seafood Restaurant is the brainchild of Sean and Sarah Perkes. Established in 2014, the once storage room for the open air seawater pool has been transformed into a unique fish lovers dream. The small family run restaurant and outside terrace provide beautiful coastal views across the bay and beyond.

    Absolutely awesome experience. On a horrible wet and windy evening we received a warm welcome. Spoilt for choice on the menu and specials board and all at very good prices. Means we have to visit again to try something different. Can recommend the scallops, mussels, and skate wing this time.

    It was absolutely lovely. We ate scallops and the fish of the day, Brill off their lunchtime menu - cooked to perfection. Fabulous service and atmosphere.

    Absolutely fantastic food in a stunning location. We had a mixture of things from the specials board & the normal menu. The portions were so generous & cooked to perfection. The waitress was brilliant.

    It's such a cool location to look over the bay and enjoy beautiful food and wine. We had the chowder and mackerel pate to start. Then both had the scallops and monkfish in a whiskey and cream sauce. Highly recommend!
