Loved the white bait here! Done properly (not breaded thankfully) so fresh and tasty! Would definitely go back again. Friendly and quick service and very reasonable prices!

Love it! The take away shop is right at the seafront. I ordered special mackerel sandwich and white bait box. So tasty, so fresh and full of flavour. Will be back

I couldn’t decide which one to pick between the white bait and the scampi at first, but I chose the white bait. It was the best white bait I’ve ever had. after that I thought the scampi would also great so I tried it and It was good. The lady was so kind and she let us know that we could see a starling murmuration today so we were able to see the amazing show:)

Excellent local business serving high quality food at fair prices. I chose the smoked mackerel roll with horseradish and beetroot. Wow - a brilliant combo of flavours and texture, perfectly executed. Also, service with a smile. Highly recommended.

Cute little spot on the Brighton beachfront selling fresh fish and crab sandwiches. The special of Mackerel was delicious! Came with a beetroot slaw and some greens. Cold sandwiches were also yummy and I tried both the crab and the prawn. They have chairs in the front of the shack to sit on to enjoy the food. Lots of seagulls and pigeons around to feed and good spot for people watching as you eat.

I'm (pretty) great at eating. However, The further backwards along the path from eating to cooking to preparing to catching [in this case, specifically, fish], the less capable I become. I'm more than happy to outsource all of that and any potential washing up and most definitely winkling out bits of crab shell from the mush I've just smashed up with a unreasonably large hammer.
I'll always choose a salad box over anything in ciabatta, but that's fine, those rolls fly out almost without any assistance - leave it too late and they've sold out anyway! I like that there's rocket (roquette.. ?) mixed in the lettuce, I like that the tomato isn't boring wedges. I prefer the pickle of the beetroot to the fat of the mayo. Portion size is great.
It'd be great if you got a chunk of white with the brown meat but as I'm not catching, cleaning, picking or dressing those crabs myself, nor controlling the just right balance of not too warm sunshine and not too chill breeze, I appreciate that all of the freshness is packed into your lunch.
Always been busy, when it's gone, it's gone. Maybe take a chance when it's chilly ...?- Service

We had 1 x sea bass and 1 x unsmoked mackerel ciabatta’s with a great salad filing and they were both amazing. Super fresh of the highest quality with lovely smiling service, eaten on the beach in the sun! What more could you want?

The fish sandwich was really delicious! The portion size and price were great!
Great place by the beach sidewalk where you can get fresh fish that was caught that day on their own boat. The staff are super fun and polite and they sell out of their daily catch super quickly. If you are craving something fresh and trustable this would be the place to go in Brighton beach. Highly recommended!

A fabulous little place tucked away in an arch by the beach. Quick service of things like kippers, whitebait, crab and a catch of the day, which was sea bass when we went. You can sit outside and get a coffee from next door. Strongly recommended!

A lovely time by the seaside. Had a smoked mackerel special which had strong flavours due to the horseradish, very nice.
