Our restaurant at Exeter is in a stunning location right next to the water at the Quayside, a great place to sit and watch all the buzz and activity on the water and enjoy some great seafood. Our lovely outdoor seating area can be enjoyed when the weather’s favourable and when it’s not we have a log burner inside to keep the restaurant nice and cosy.

If I lived local, I would eat here on a weekly basis. I absolutely love fish, but it must be fresh and simply cooked IMHO. This was my second visit in 3 years (too long) and once again, Rockfish delivered. Tempura Prawns and grilled Gurnard with Romesco. The main course was totally memorable. Coline was super efficient and friendly. All in all, a very special meal. Thanks to the Rockfish team.

Awesome lunch with my niece after Clip n Climb. Kids portions and taste was spot on, the Ocean Protector Pack is fantastic with many things to do and learn to take home.
The large haddock Fish & Chips was worth it at £25 and sets a bar in the category for sure. The non-alcoholic beer was superb and the kids apple juice delicious.
Its an amazing concept that truly supports fresh and local, so I’m super keen to return and try all other seafood goodness on the next visit.
The service was warm and friendly from all. The only thing I would point out is the white paper tissue stabilising the table. If the surface is not flat and the legs of the table rock, no matter how minor – there are more suitable and stylish things that can fix that for an establishment of this class and location.
Thanks again team – it was a fantastic lunch!

We were a party of three and had an absolutely lovely experience at this top-notch fish restaurant in Exeter. One of us opted for the daily menu while the other two went for the haddock, which was beautifully cooked. We also shared a portion of calamari to start – fresh, crispy, and full of flavour.
The service was exceptionally friendly and impressively quick, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations – fresh ingredients, well-prepared, and served piping hot. We were thoroughly pleased with the entire experience and wouldn’t hesitate to return. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous quayside location with a public carpark just 2mins away.
An extensive menu of high quality, freshly caught local seafood, simply cooked.
Portions are big with complimentary twice-cooked chips that are refilled on request.
Our haddock and chips was enormous and cooked to crisp golden perfection. Frito Misto came in light crisp tempura batter and was a mix of different white fish, intense local sardines, fat juicy prawns and tender calamari with a salad in a delicious mustardy french dressing and fingerlicking garlicy mayo.
Prices aren’t cheap but justified by the superb freshness and quality of the fish.
But leave room for pudding as the sticky toffee pud is very good.
Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be back

This is a great restaurant, its set out really nicely, service is outstanding, attentive, friendly whilst the food is spot-on. They have an excellent, extensive menu and several daily specials too. If you’re looking for fish, this is a really good option!

The chef’s work was DIABOLICAL.
1) Whitebait tasted strongly of chemicals. A bad batch. I tried two and had to spit both out. I don’t understand how a chef could taste these and send them out like that.
2) Sauce accompanying the hake was ridiculously strong and you couldn’t taste any fish underneath. Aftertaste like dried herbs lasted for minutes and wouldn’t go away after swilling with wine. I don’t understand how a chef could taste such a sauce and send it out.
3) Dover sole was CAKED on both sides with large crystals of salt. It tasted like a mouthful of salt and nothing else. Literally tasted as salty as the sea, no exaggeration. After a few bites, I got those bumps on my tongue like when you’ve had too many crisps.
In the photo you can see the salt crystals all over. Like 10 times what a sane amount of salt would be, no exaggeration. I just can’t understand it.
Praise:
1) Chips were excellent.
2) Excellent service in general, and in reducing the bill appropriately in particular.
3) Nice atmosphere.
I would give this place a chance after a couple of months, after the dodgy chef has had time to either improve or move on.

We arrived here late on a Sunday evening without a reservation. They were very busy and we weren’t feeling overly optimistic that they’d be able to seat us! But the absolutely lovely lady who welcomed us in said they could seat us in 30 mins time. She then offered us a seat over by the bar area so we could enjoy a drink before our meal. We enjoyed a glass of Rockfish rose, the Portuguese tinto red wine and the Salcombe Breeze as we perused the menu.
We ordered the spidercrab croquettes, the fish tacos and the haddock and chips. All were absolutely delicious! The seafood tasted super fresh and the flavours of the dishes were well balanced and very tasty.
The staff were very helpful although I would say we were informed about the catches of the day maybe slightly too late as we had already made our minds up from looking at the menu provided and didn’t know there was even more to choose from!
The atmosphere was lively when we arrived, and I think perhaps the restaurant would have benefitted from a little more sound insulation as it was quite loud. It was ok for me but my parents were struggling a little with the noise levels.
Overall a fantastically delicious meal in a lovely setting in the Exeter Quay. We will be back!

Fabulous location, great food prepared simply (as seafood should be) and wonderful staff. Good range of regular dishes, with a lot of daily catch specials as well. Helpful staff able to make meaningful recommendations. Good portion size. Although part of a (small) chain, it felt more like a high-quality independent restaurant. Highly recommended

Food is superbly cooked, but portions small. Fish cooked to perfection. Views lovely but we found the place extremely noisy to the point of distraction and being uncomfortable. Not sure what could be done about that but do wish men didn’t feel the need to bellow! Great GF options though which was lovely
