The Fish Shed is a standout for its inventive seafood dishes and unbeatable beachside location. Diners frequently mention the mackerel scotch eggs and monkfish as highlights. While the setting is rustic and basic, the quality of the food and the views make it a favourite. Some visitors find it a bit pricey and note the lack of on-site toilets, but for many, the experience is well worth it.
