Fins Restaurant

What an amazing find! I find it hard to find a decent fish restaurant these days so I was made up to find this little place. When you arrive you go through a little courtyard with a shop selling craft foods and beverages and fresh fish. We had booked online for the restaurant but we were the one ones in there due to the time of our booking. The menu wasn’t extensive but it was sufficient. There were 5 in our party including our 8 year old fussy eater 😂. We had fresh Scallops, fresh mussels, tempura langoustines, tempura chicken and salmon pate for starters. Kids gosh and chips, fish and chips, halibut and bacon with poached egg and 2 fish mixed grill. The mixed grill had ‘whatever fish the chef decided to grab’ on it (servers words 😂), turned out to be halibut, salmon, sea bream, langoustine and clams. It was all very fresh and best we’ve had. The chips were absolutely gorgeous too. They don’t serve alcohol though and so you have to buy it from the shop and take it in with you which is no problem 😉

6 of us booked Saturday 26th for an early evening meal,waiters very sweet but slow to take our order... langostines in a starter where tiny tails and very hard to peel, finger bowls were too small, no more paper napkins were offered with the main meals,we had to ask for lemon to go with the oysters,the tempura langustines pretty tasteless, no condiments were offered i.e salad oil etc during the meal ..the halibut main came with mussels instead of clams and the mash Portion it sat on was tiny, I had moules and there was an un pleasant and over powering taste of wood smoke in the whole dish, this was not mentioned on the menu and I left my main for others to try,we bought our own drinks but the cans were not cleared and we took them home again, no one asked if we minded doing this,none of us had a sweet or side dishes because it was all a bit pricey, place has Potential but it wont be my go to place, sorry guys.

My wife and I booked a table at fins this afternoon, we had our dog with us which meant we needed to sit in the small seating area outside. This wasn’t a problem as the sun was shining. The food was superb and was a 30th anniversary celebration for us. We had Cullen Skink followed by Hot Shellfish platter , prices were very reasonable Friendly staff and beautiful food , we will return again Highly recommended

This is the real deal. Honest and authentic, the original owners, founded and built this fabulous restaurant with a generous and natural penchant for hospitality and more importantly for a locally sourced and an excellently executed seafood menu. The langoustine was the best I had ever tasted.. no need to mask the natural, creamy taste with sauces, this is the real deal. The restaurant is now being run by a longtime business partner who carries on the wonderful Thain vision. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Last night I had the best lobster with lemon buerre blanc I've ever had the delight to enjoy (although Umbertos in New York comes close). Think I detected a delicious Tarragon taste in there too which really made it the winner. So very good. Came with crispy triple fried chips and salad too. A seafood treat feast awaits.
