You shall have a fishy on a little dishy… Small plates, big flavours. Located within a harbour-front, 15th century fisherman’s cottage, enjoy an array of dishes dictated by the sea and catch from inshore day boats.
This place is great for a taster menu – 2 hours of delightful fish. Definitely worth a trip.
