What a surprise! I also got one of their specials - Halloumi Burger which was equally fresh and tasty. I highly recommend eating here. We did not have reservations, but the place fills up quickly since it's so close to the port Isaac harbor where most of the fishing scenes for Doc Martin are filmed.

Located yards from the port and from the fish market, you know your seafood is going to be fresh…read more I'm happy to tell you that the staff of The Mote know just how to prepare these raw materials to best bring out their flavors. They also excel at that delicate balance between doting service and just bringing food out. Being here early in the season meant we were first to be seated for dinner, but if you're going to be here during the height of the season, book ahead - like two weeks ahead. The fish and chips I ordered were the best I've ever had, with the mashy peas tasting fresher than their name deserves. The breeding on the fish was perfectly crispy, which meant the fish inside was steamed to perfection. My dining companion's white crab linguine was also a work of art. Generous chunks of crab were steeped in a rich sauce to adhere perfectly to the pasta. Fortunately, she couldn't finish the plentiful portion, so I was enlisted to help. It was a happy duty. We were recommended a local cider, which was tasty and snappy without being overly sweet. I opted for a Guinness, which, when activated with the ultrasound exciter, brought out the full flavor of the brew, as well as the rich texture. We interacted with at least four members of the waitstaff, and found them each charming in their own way. Friendly, flavorful, and fun. What more could you ask for in a dinner experience?

But it also has a few picnic tables our front where you can sit and eat some of the local seafood fare. I went for a sensible prawn cocktail, which was delicious. Served with some fresh crispy salad and some brown bread, it rocked. My partner went for the cold platter, which in hindsight was really a sharing platter, because it was huge! He loved it, but I had to help him eat it, as we didn't want to leave any of it behind. I had a few mussels the first time in my life and they tasted great. I've not had any mussels since, for fear they wont be near as nice. If I am ever back in the area I am going to make sure we get back to Britannia Shell Fish for some yummy seafood. The guy serving us was a nice rocker dude, who chatted to my partner about the rock tee shirt he was wearing. Turned out, he had been to same rock festival that year. Oh almost forgot, their coffee was pretty good too.

We've had great fresh Oysters on this Road Trip. The best ones we've had at Loch Fyne…read moreOysters....and - our number one - at Moran's Oyster Cottage near Galway. So we wondered if this place can compete or even take the throne. In short: No. The Oysters are nicely presented and indeed very fresh and good sized. But they lack the smoothness and creaminess of the places we've mentioned above. They're good, but not great. Service was a bit basic, not as friendly as I would expect it to be in such a place. And they quite made some calculation mistakes with the bill. Had to correct them twice. Good Oysters - yes. Best ones - no. But if you won't go anywhere near our top choices, this place still is a good option. There is other fresh seafood available too.
