Eat Seafood in Torquay
Our seafood restaurant in Torquay is situated on Victoria Parade overlooking the inner harbour right in the centre of town. Our seafood is delivered to us daily from our own boat Rockfisher, and from other boats in the Brixham fishing fleet just across the bay next door to our Rockfish restaurant there. Join us for sustainably caught, fresh, local fish landed that day which we prepare by the harbour side at dawn to arrive at our seafood restaurant in Torquay by lunchtime that day. Your server will talk through the daily selection available, marking each fish species down on your tablecloth and the different ways our chefs cook it to order for you - on the chargrill or crisp fried. We have tables inside the restaurant and a small outside covered terrace where guests can sit and enjoy our seafood in the open air when the weather is fine. Well behaved dogs are welcome.
