The Sea Cow

I experienced relatively good customer service. Chips were fresh and tasty, fish cakes are a NO, NO! No taste, no seasoning, just BLAND :(

My partner and I stopped at Sea Cow for dinner on a Saturday evening, rather unplanned. Turned out to be a nice surprise, with fish on ice looking quite fresh and the healthier grilling option was very welcome (as much as I love fish & chips, the batter can be too much sometimes). Chips came in a rather sizeable bowl, well cooked and not too oily. Wine/drinks list is certainly not impressive, but I wouldnt expect it to be at a fish&chip shop anyway. Staff were friendly and the boys behind the bar explained to us the different fish textures and cooking methods patiently. Overall, very happy with our choice of restaurant for the night!

I do have to say however, we returned for take away (proof that we really liked the food!) a couple of weeks later - less satisfied unfortunately with the take away option, but I guess its more to do with the fact that warm food is places in bland takeaway boxes and eaten 15 mins later, rather than the actual food itself. Unless you eat it on the doorstep, takeaway is not a recommended option - why not step in and have a proper meal there instead?!
