"Fabulous selection of seafood served by lovely friendly ladies. We had half a lobster, crevettes, cockles, muscles and whelks all fabulously fresh. Cannot wait to go back to Margate! A marvellous find."
For avoidance of doubt this isn’t a restaurant, it’s a stall with a couple of benches. Stopped for a seafood snack about midday after visiting the Turner. Disappointed that no oysters, even though the boards advertising “oysters and bubbles” were still prominently displayed. Settled for a tub of cockles instead, and they tasted great, but really not a substitute for oysters. Slightly off putting remarks from one of the three rather underemployed women in the stall she didn’t offer a card machine but waited while I found some cash, then commented “yes, people are using cash more now COVID has gone” (it hasn’t, of course, but her attitude didn’t seem out of kilter with how we had observed loca...
I was a bit disappointed with my visit to this restaurant on a Wednesday morning. They had run out of oysters and claimed that the last few had just been sold. I found it surprising that they were out of oysters considering Whitstable is just a few miles away. The whelks I purchased were not fresh and tasted like they had been previously frozen. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be returning.
We now live in the North East and booked a week in Maidstone to go Back down memory Lane. We both had cockles,they were just as we remembered them,except The portion was bigger than the old China plate. Even Better. The stall now offers Oysters and Prosecco or wine,very good idea. Very friendly staff and spotlessly clean.
This fantastic seafood stall offers a variety of traditional seaside snacks, such as oysters, cooked prawns, and jellied eels. In addition, they have options for takeaway like dressed crabs and fish rolls. The stall also sells a small selection of reasonably priced drinks, including Prosecco.

The quality of seafood here is second none. It is properly cleaned and delicious. The oysters are fabulous and are the best I have ever eaten in England. Been coming here since it opened in the sixties and quality always consistent so don't understand any bad reviews as they are nonsense!
My husband and I had never had a fresh lobster so we contacted Valerie who very kindly contacted us back. As we was not sure what to do she dressed our lobster for us, we also brought a fresh crab. All was so fresh and delicious. We'll worth the money £32. We would definitely recommend.
The seafood at this restaurant was of poor quality and mostly frozen. I was disappointed and expected better. This was my first time trying this place and it will definitely be my last. I would have had a better experience going to a place like Iceland.
Perfect for a walk along the harbour arm or sea front. My son likes the jellied eels, I prefer their tapas style specials, either way, really nice staff, fresh and with bread too. Go at high tide as the seaweed can kick up a bit when its low.

Excellent service. Ordered via messenger a dressed lobster and dressed crab. It was absolutely fantastic, fresh and tasty. Best seafood we have tasted. Dressed lobster recommended. Excellent price and value.
