Hix Oyster Fish House - Lyme Regis

What can I say, great food, great goodness. we visited on Friday evening of our stay in lyme, as it was our high-time anniversary and decided to push the boat, but not exaggerated so (sometimes some good intentions). to go with our first glass lyme bay fizz, we had cockle popcorn and a few fried oysters. Now. cockle popcorn. buy it all right away. it's amazing. battered, fried, served with scotch bonnet mayo. these are also very good, and the mayo has been made with care, not napalm, and therefore is exactly the right level of heat. for beginners my wife had baked scallops, which had a salty, herby crumb that I can still taste, and I had the shellfish soup that was also very delicious. this is due to the production method that uses all the replacement shell parts that discard the restaurant to make a delicious and warming suppe. that was a problem for me as I forgot to check if it crab, on which I have either an intolerance or allergy. I wish I had, because when we came back the next day, one of the workers looked absolutely destroyed when I explained what had happened and poured the quality of the previous evening, I didn't want to emphasize their day anymore. fortunately, I had only one bad one for one night and it could have been much worse. pity really, it was an amazing dish with a beautiful taste. for the net, the lobster for both of us 't disappointed either though asking for a claw cracker if (not if) they try. we didn't do it, and as a result, I've cut my headline. Don't worry, delicious lobster and good chips. desserts were fabulous and my son had a chocolate mousse about the size of a small cat. is this the highest degree of fine dining, which is distorted on several Michael stars? no does it have to be? no is this an excellent restaurant with a view of the lyme bay, with know, attentive, and friendly staff, served fantastic eating? absolutely yes we liked it so much in the did, we went the next day for a late afternoon drink and snack, where I am very glad that we directed to the sticky Korean style monkfish cheeks. together with the cockle popcorn I could just eat a bucket of those, unfortunately this would have made our subsequent round of minigolf a challenge. go here for a culinary experience that firmly on my will do absolutely again and tell everyone to do the same list.

What a thoroughly brilliant way to spend an afternoon. Sitting on a lovely open terrace with a great view of the bay, eating a selection of seafood treats, sipping a glass…or four…of chilled rosé and feeling very decadent! The cockle popcorn was a highlight and so was the oyster selection, both the raw and deep fried versions.

We came for lunch service today and everything was fantastic. Front of house staff were lovely, friendly and really welcoming. Our waitress (think it was Hebe) was great. Service was really quick. Food is perfect, simple and just showcases the quality of the ingredients. We will definitely be back, maybe for dinner next time.

We were four elderly customers from London that couldn’t find the restaurant and had walked too far. No problem for The Oyster and Fish House. ‘Tell us where you are and describe yourself we will come and get you’. And we had a lift back up the hill to our car after a brilliant dining experience. Great service, wonderful food and an amazing location. Highly recommended and great value for the quality of food and service.

An almost unbeatable location and the food was excellent. Service was also very good, with friendly, efficient staff. The only negative point was that one waiter's clothing was rather inappropriate.
