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.

    Quirky tiny independent seafood restaurant right next to the sea a little way out of Brixham (more than a stroll so you need to drive). Great fresh food featuring delicious fresh fish (though 3 of our party opted for Vegetarian/Vegan dishes).

    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.
