We had a fantastic meal at Rockfish in Dartmouth! I ordered the fish and chips, which came with unlimited chips, a brilliant touch. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, with a light, crispy batter. My whole family enjoyed their meals, and there was something for everyone on the menu. The service was another highlight. friendly and super cheerful throughout our visit. It made the whole dining experience feel even more welcoming and enjoyable.

As always, only the best seafood here! Not sure how they get the batter so light and crispy, but it’s always the best fried fish I’ve ever tasted, and a good size portion too. Love that they allow dogs also, and they get a tasty sprat.

Great restaurant for fish - best we know in the UK at fairly "reasonable" price. Clear recommendation. Had the catch of the day, the "Sole". It was the best sole I had since years, just absolutely fantastic. Only slight downside: Service was very friendly but slow. Even when we mentioned to be under a little time pressure, it did not help to speed up. So bring some time, but it's worth it.

Food was really good . My dad and partner really enjoyed their calamari and smoked haddock. I had the ray wing which was cooked perfectly but was just not my thing ( I had never tried before) . The staff were excellent and the atmosphere was really pleasant. Liked their calamari fact there were lots of well behaved dog allowed.

Went here with my wife and kids. One of the best, if not the best fish meals that we have ever had. John Dory was outrageously tasty. The freshness of the fish and general ingredients cannot be overstated, literally off the boat. Service was brilliant and a special mention to our 82 year old waitress who kept us laughing and entertained throughout! Thank you!

Such a fantastic restaurant – we loved it so much we went back the next night! The staff were amazing, so friendly and accommodating with my nut allergy. The menu was full of fresh, delicious dishes, including fish caught that day. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Such a wonderful experience. The fish and oysters was fresh from the sea and they tasted incredible. The service was lovely and well informed on the specials. It’s good to let the staff tell you about the catch of the day- it’s guaranteed that you’ll get your moneys worth. I really recommend the silver mullet and the cuttlefish. Beautiful food fresh from the coast
