Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch here. The staff were very nice and attentive, and a special mention to the lovely lobster earrings worn by one of the team who served us — nice touch! I also liked the cosy interior, good quiet music and everything really cleaned.
The reason I’ve given 4 stars instead of 5 is that I didn’t enjoy the fish chowder as much as I’d hoped. It was very heavy on sweetcorn, I found it a bit tasteless, and at £13.50 it felt overpriced. My partner, however, liked it — possibly thanks to the added bacon.
Everything else was fresh and well prepared, and you can tell the oil for the fried dishes is changed regularly by the clean colour of the food. For three people, we ordered around seven plates and two cokes, and the total came to £102.
Parking was easy — there’s a small car park just across the street (£2.20 for 2 hours).

Fantastic food, local fish and seafood doesn’t get any better! Really friendly staff and service. Queues outside as the place is so popular but they were still able to seat us very quickly and our food was brought out to us really quickly and was lovely fresh and hot.
The deep fried squid was super tasty, monkfish burger, crab salad and local hake with capers and samphire. Highly recommend everything including the elderflower cider!

Mackerel Sky Seafood Bar is well worth a visit. We arrived at 2.30pm to take a look and were greeted on the kerb by the waitress who showed us to the table outside on the pavement and put a heater on ( we preferred pavement as we have an unpredictable puppy )
The portion sizes are small as it’s a taster menu so select several.
We had crispy Squid, grilled Monkfish and grilled Mackerel, all were cooked to perfection, the best lunch we have had in years.
The service is definitely 5 star as well as the food.
Yes, it’s pricey as others have said however you can’t get fresher fish than
being next to the harbour, straight from the boat to the kitchen.
You can’t book a table just turn up, we went on a week day afternoon in October.
Honestly well worth trying.

A lovely chill seafood restaurant with amazingly friendly staffs. The atmosphere is good, though a bit crowded.
Scallops tastes amazing with dedicated texture and harmonious sauce. The only drawback is the lobster, which was a bit over-cooked and the texture goes firmer that I expected

Excellent value for money with a great variety of fresh seafood on offer. Visited on a Bank Holiday Monday, there was a small queue outside, but the wait wasn’t too long.
The food was delicious and served in reasonable portions. The John Dory was outstanding, with an unbeatable garlic butter. Will definitely be returning.

The food was amazing! They have two places to dine in and if you arrive at the peak you have to wait for a while. We waited for ten or fifteen minutes and took a inside dining bar. The service was very good, with a lady recommended some today’s specials ( the mussels were really nice and freshly cooked)

Fantastic little place – you cant book a table and it operates via a queue system outside (this works best if you’re in a couple as likely to get seated sooner than in a large group) however we didnt wait long at all. Food was delicious and fresh (the hake was like butter and melted in your mouth) staff are friendly and service was very efficient. It was full when we got there and I can understand why its so popular. All the food was cooked perfectly. There is also a carpark nearby (basically across the road), which we discovered was free from Mon-Sun after 4pm til 9pm – perfect for an evening meal. Highly recommend.

Exquisite in every way!
An absolutely delicious restaurant. Every dish we tried was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, prepared with a level of care that you can taste in every bite. The food was simply outstanding — full of flavor and beautifully presented.
The service was also impeccable: attentive, friendly, and always with a smile. You can tell they truly enjoy what they do, and it shows in the entire experience.
A place I’ll definitely return to and one I wholeheartedly recommend. A true culinary gem!
