What customers say?

“ I came here 3 yrs ago with friends and wanted to bring my husband for a valentines treat. Huge fish n chips portion, but the fish chowder was fresh tasty, light and flavoursome. Absolute beauty of a small independent restaurant, I highly recommend 5 stars ”

- Farah Ashraf -

“ I could say By The Sea the best seafood restaurant in Cornwall! They recommended us to choose plaice fish which was the best of the best!It’s our first time to taste this fish. We ordered lobster XL size while they told us there’s only L size. Very honest person! The lobster was delicious with salt and garlic. Scallops were juicy with sauces. Crab salad was fresh and fruitful. All the prices are reasonable. Environment and atmosphere are clean and fresh. We will surely come again when visiting Saint Ives next time. ”

- Dean Tam -

“ The best sea food I’ve ever eaten in the UK. Everything was extremely delicious. Especially the fish soup. Even the salad was delicious. Simon(the cook) was very welcoming. He was very helpful with our diet preferences. We eat halal and he made sure to cook the fish in separate containers. I’ll definitely visit again. ”

- Aysenur Ay -

“ My husband and I searched for some good seafood places and found this one on google. It’s a nice and medium sized place away from most of the hustle of St Ives harbour but just a short distance walk. Food was really good. We ordered 3 starters and 1 main and two drinks. We were full and all the dishes were yummy! Defo recommend. ”

- Nilza Bhikha -

“ The restaurant was very busy when we went! Seemed like there was only 1 server for the ground floor, we saw one customer who came down and complained, poor him! We had no problem with our order and serving speeds. Food was served quickly and tasty. Good location near Co op and such. Would recommend the sharing starter platter but not fish tacos as it was served cold as opposed to what we expected hot. But we should have asked before ordering though haha. Halloumi fries were fab. Nice menu with a variety of dishes and really kind workers. ”

“ Stopped in by chance on a Saturday lunchtime in October for lunch. The menu is pretty varied by we opted for the fish and chips and chowder. The chowder was excellent, nice and thick with a bit of chilli to give it a kick. The fish and chips as a meal were the second best I've ever had, only the mushy peas let it down as they were a little bit runny. But the fish was perfectly cooked, and the fillet a decent size, with the chips top notch, crispy outside and soft in the middle. For a sit in meal of this standard it wasn't expensive and we can certainly recommend it. ”

- Simon JR -

“ Wonderful fish & chips! The cod was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, and the prawns were fresh and full of flavor — both were absolutely delicious. The portions were generous and everything was served piping hot. The service was also very well-organized and friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great seafood and classic fish & chips! ”
