About The Copper Clam

Right on the seafront, this is a proper sit-down seafood spot rather than a quick chippy stop, and it works for families who don't mind a slightly slower meal. There are high chairs, a kids' menu, and a few outdoor tables that go fast on sunny days — worth grabbing if you've got a pram, since inside is cosy rather than roomy. Upstairs has arched windows looking over the beach, and the whole place is warm and softly lit in winter. The seafood is the draw: mussels, scallops, monkfish, tempura oysters, and a shellfish platter people happily linger over. Staff are friendly and attentive without hovering. It's the kind of place regulars call "casual but high-quality" — book ahead, especially for weekend lunch.
