Recommendations

"Fish and chips, but not quite as you know it. A family-run venture with sustainability to the fore, The Scallop Shell offers up traditional fish and chips with plenty of twists and turns along the way, with a commitment to fresh ingredients that is clear from the first bite. The restaurant itself is a beaut, all distressed furniture and understated grace, making The Scallop Shell one of our favorite chippies in the UK."
"One of Bath's best fish eateries is also one of its simplest – bags of potatoes piled up beside the door and plain wooden tables. The theme continues with the food – unfussy and unafraid to let the freshness of the ingredients and the quality of the cooking speak for themselves."
"My guests haddock was golden and crispy and he said the fish was really meaty and flavorsome. My hake was baked with sea salt which gave it a fantastic flavor and texture and the fish was really meaty. The chips were thick and crispy but not at all greasy. The tartare sauce and the mushy peas both really stood out with unique flavors. They must have a secret ingredient as I’ve never tasted peas or tartare sauce like it. There was a subtle tanginess in both that accompanied the fish and chips perfectly.... Read more
"The Scallop Shell is a much-loved AA Rosette fish restaurant, serving lightly battered and grilled fish and chips and seasonal seafood. Flying the flag for a fresh, sustainable catch from UK waters, the menu changes daily depending on the coastal landings."

"Very soft and flaky, with good batter, not too oily, and all the right condiments. Family owned restaurant that seems to really care about their ingredients."
