Food is amazing. Peak hour during lunch and dinner. So if you want a quiet go in between this time. Food? Excellent. Their oysters are fresh. Fish and chips portions are big. Salmon with rice is delicious. And we tried Brazilian fish soup i forgot the name but it is impeccably taste.
This is a truly wonderful place to enjoy a meal. A well run and well supported seafood restaurant, Fishers was the perfect setting for a delightful evening and the ideal way to enjoy one’s birthday.
The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant felt welcoming and despite being what appeared as a fully booked Friday evening, it did not feel crowded. My partner and I sat downstairs though there is an ‘upper deck’ with plenty more seating.
Between us we ordered the bouillabaisse and mackerel paté to start with the tuna steak and whole bream for main. We were both very impressed at the quality of the food, very fresh and prepared in a way I would describe as ‘just right.’ Every dish was generous in size and consumed with hearty enthusiasm, though I simply did not have room for a sweet at the end, but I will definitely be coming back so next time I certainly will.
The waiting staff are very efficient and though not as conversational as some places, they did not put a foot wrong all evening and provide a very professional service. I must thank the gentleman in the Simpsons shirt for some wonderful interactions and a fond fare well upon leaving.
This is a fabulous place to eat, located in a lovely part of Clifton and I would thoroughly recommend a visit. For us it worked out at £30-£35 per head which I think was a very fair price and we will definitely be coming back soon. Many thanks.
Best seafood I've ever had in the UK. And please keep in mind that I've been to the Scottish Highland before. This shop still manages to surpass that.
We have eaten here many times over the years, and always have a good experience. We went again last night. The food was excellent: beautifully cooked and everything tasted so good. Our order became quite bespoke. I was hoping for tuna steak but it was not on the menu yesterday. So they took it from their wet fish counter and cooked it for me after a discussion with the staff about what I would like with it. Also, they had run out of their usual cold crevettes with salad but we said we actually prefer our crevettes hot... so they cooked some just for us. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. It's all very informal and welcoming.
This isn't a review, it's a revelation; the best seafood is in Bristol at Fishers!
If you love shellfish this place prepares the tastiest dishes. The seafood platter is huge and delicious. The staff are telepathic and know what you'll like.
Can't wait to come back 🦀
Thank you Fishers
Fantastic fresh fish. Some of the best I've had in a very long time. There is a fresh fish counter so you have a real range of fish to choose from too.
Lovely quirky place too, I'll definitely go back
We dropped by here on a busy Saturday evening knowing nothing about the place. So pleased we did…, food was fantastic - sea bream in particular, as was the service which was very relaxed, yet attentive, to the extent of the manager noticing when I was cold and responding by offering to turn down the air con and made our children feel so welcome too. Thanks for a lovely evening.

@fishersrestaurant is the perfect lunch stop in the ever so perfect Clifton Village 🌸
For starter was crab and sweetcorn fritters with sweet chilli sauce... I'll say no more 😋 🦀
To follow was curried rice with smoked haddock, prawns with a creamy sauce and a generous fillet of crispy skinned salmon! The taste was incredible however the presentation could of been better... (I like a neat and tidy rice mountain 🍚⛰️)
The battered cod was beautifully light and crisp. Good portion also 👌 the chunky chips were nothing special though!
There is a fresh fish counter at the front too for those who love to cook with fish at home!
Been looking forward to eating here all week having read May's menu. Obviously fresh fish is fresh so menu subject to change, my fault for reading sample menu lol. Excellent selection great fresh Thai cake starter although having seen the yummy mains that other diners were having I regret the choice of the sharing platter. It was very nice but I didn't think totally worth it especially having seen the other mains.
That said still yummy. Great staff and relaxed atmosphere.
I wanted to have dinner at Fishers for a while so I had high hopes. I was a bit disappointed by the staff's professionalism, maybe they were understaffed and overloaded with work. Our reservation was for 7.30 pm and we left at 11pm, so we had to wait for a while for our food to arrive.
The food was tasty(but one of the portions was returned as it was cold) and we had a great wine.
