Showcasing the incredible seafood of the South West's coastline is our top priority. And when it comes to truly luxurious seafood, nothing beats a freshly caught lobster. We think we serve some of the best lobster in the region, and here's why...

What makes our lobster so special?

Fresh from the Coast, our lobsters are sourced locally, from right here in the South West. We work closely with fishermen who are committed to sustainable fishing practices, ensuring that you're enjoying the freshest, most responsibly caught lobster possible.

Your lobster will be cooked to perfection. We believe in simple cooking methods that let the natural sweetness and flavour of lobster shine through. Indulge in the ultimate luxury with a whole lobster served with garlic butter in our restaurants. It’s a true treat and the perfect way to celebrate a special moment.

Ambiance has such a big impact on how we enjoy and remember our food. There’s nothing better than enjoying fresh lobster by the sea. All of our seafood restaurants are based near or on the coast in Devon and Dorset, not far from Brixham where the fish is landed. Our restaurant offer the perfect backdrop for a truly special meal.

Beyond Lobster: A Shellfish Celebration

While lobster is undoubtedly a star, we also celebrate other shellfish delights at Rockfish.

Crab appears on our daily landings as a whole Crab steamed & prepared for cracking & picking yourself. Great fun & a thoroughly enjoyable way to eat crab! Our crab is also locally sourced and prepared with the same care and attention as our lobster.

We have many dishes that feature prawns. Shell-on prawns, prawn cocktail, tempura or grilled prawns, there’s a prawn for however you enjoy them! Like our lobster and crab, our prawns are chosen for their freshness and quality.

Why not try our Skull Island prawns which feature in our Mixed Seafood Grill? If you would like to experience flavour and texture similar to lobster these may be just for you! Tiger prawns from Skull Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria are the biggest you can find in Australia. Measuring up to 26cm in length and 100g in weight, these juicy behemoths of the prawn underworld are truly the king on the plate. Characteristic tiger stripes, striking fluorescent purple tails and their sheer size will leave you in awe as you experience Skull Island Tiger Prawns for the first time!
