Fish And Seafood · Plymouth
Right on the harbour, this is the kind of stop where the view does half the work — boats bobbing, apartments across the water, and enough space to park a pram without apologising. Portions come out much bigger than expected, which matters when you're splitting a plate with a small person, and the food arrives fast even at busy times. The clam chowder gets genuine rapture, the mussels too, and the fish comes fresh and lightly battered; there are decent vegan versions of the fish and chips as well. High chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor tables are all here, and it's step-free throughout. It gets loud and a bit slower when it fills up, and the toilets have had mixed reports — worth knowing before you go.
