Reviews For Saltwater Fish & Chips

Called in after a day trip to Dartmouth on the Dart Explorer and it was the wonderful smell of fish and chips that drew me in. Was welcomed by a young man who let me choose a table and brought me the menus. So much variety of freshly caught fish and I ordered a small battered Cod and Chips with Mushy Peas. A double gin of Salcombe Dry Gin was also needed. My drink arrived promptly and not long after my food arrived. It looked very appetising and I tucked in straight away. The batter on the fish was light and crispy, and the Cod was flakey and beautiful. I really enjoyed the food, it’s a lovely restaurant with good staff. Highly recommend.

Lovely service and friendly staff it's fish and chips don't right. Clean restaurant, helpful staff, 10/10 food. We traveled up to stay in Newton abbot and traveled down to Torquay for a evening dinner. Torquay was alive as it was the holiday weekend but this didn't affect the times or service. It was the first on Google I seen that had a high number of reviews and the place excelled on food staff and atmosphere. Would I recommend of course without a doubt. Will I go again absolutely.

Simply great fish and chips! Thin crispy batter, brilliant white fresh, firm cod, non greasy chips. All in all one of the best fish and chips I have had in a long time. Highly recommended!!!

Well, I've been to a hell of a lot of fish and chips shops and restaurants in my 58 years. Not many better than this one. The food was perfect. Starters of Squid and King Prawns were absolutely fantastic. The Fish and Chips, stunningly good. Hot, beautifully cooked, the fish batter was so good, and the chips lovely and fluffy and crisp. Even the bread and butter was excellent! Service was fantastic, such a lovely, engaging and friendly lady. Thank you Saltwater. Keep doing what you do. A bonus 6th star from me!
