Shoals Seafood Restaurant is the brainchild of Sean and Sarah Perkes. Established in 2014, the once storage room for the open air seawater pool has been transformed into a unique fish lovers dream. The small family run restaurant and outside terrace provide beautiful coastal views across the bay and beyond.

    It was absolutely lovely. We ate scallops and the fish of the day, Brill off their lunchtime menu - cooked to perfection. Fabulous service and atmosphere.

    Absolutely fantastic food in a stunning location. We had a mixture of things from the specials board & the normal menu. The portions were so generous & cooked to perfection. The waitress was brilliant.

    It's such a cool location to look over the bay and enjoy beautiful food and wine. We had the chowder and mackerel pate to start. Then both had the scallops and monkfish in a whiskey and cream sauce. Highly recommend!

    Very easy to make the booking. Good choice on the menu and timing of food to arrive at table was good, didn’t take too long which is helpful when you have children. Food was excellent quality and plenty of it! Lovely service and nice to be able to thank the chef. Will definitely be returning soon!

    Absolutely wonderful food, can't fault in any way. Staff very helpful and friendly, puts other big chain fish restaurants to shame. Get there and you won't be disappointed.
