From the beaches to the beautiful countryside to the world-famous Cornish pasty. But also, thanks to its coastal setting, Cornwall has a significant fishing industry that\u2019s vital for the area to thrive. And a delightful byproduct of the thriving industry is the vast array of incredible seafood restaurants. But, where is the best seafood in Cornwall?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To save you some time and to highlight yet another reason why you should both visit and explore Cornwall \u2014 we\u2019ve compiled a quick and easy guide to the best seafood in Cornwall. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rick Stein\u2019s \u2018Seafood Restuarant<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-61929\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carbisbayholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/09\/SeafoodRestaurant_Cover-1002x535-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1255\" height=\"670\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rick Stein is most definitely a household name among Cornish folk, and his delicious food is well known up and down the country. Rick Stein now owns many restaurants and other ventures, but the aptly named \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rickstein.com\/restaurants\/the-seafood-restaurant\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Seafood Restaurant<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019 is where it all began way back in 1975. Now, this restaurant is somewhat of a go-to for those seeking the best seafood in Cornwall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While they may have an international reputation for serving the freshest, finest seafood, they still very much celebrate Cornwall and the vast array of Cornish produce. The heart and soul of The Seafood Restaurant is the seafood bar. However, if you fancy a bit of sunshine with a view of the Camel Estuary and maybe a glass of something fizzy \u2014 their incredible terrace offers beautiful scenery and atmosphere in abundance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prawn on the Lawn<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-61916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carbisbayholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/09\/PRAWN-ON-THE-LAWN-COOKBOOK-Shellfish-Stew-with-Parsley-Oil-IMAGE-CREDIT-STEVEN-JOYCE.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1256\" height=\"837\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two years after opening their restaurant in London, the owners created <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prawnonthelawn.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prawn on the Lawn<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Padstow. A unique, small and quirky spot offering some of the best seafood in Cornwall and a menu that changes daily. They have previously won the Best Seafood in the UK and are a regular feature in the Michelin Guide. Not too shabby, eh?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While they can usually be found within the heart of Padstow, right until the end of October, they will be operating out of Trerethern Farm just outside of Padstow. Check out their website for more info on directions, their brand, and sample menus!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wheelhouse<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-61917\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carbisbayholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/09\/scallops-wheelhouse-falmouth.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1255\" height=\"771\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Falmouth\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheWheelhouseFal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wheelhouse Crab and Oyster Bar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a literal hidden gem tucked away in an alley just off the main street of the town centre. Serving a wide range of seafood dishes in a large yet intimate setting has allowed this particular establishment to gain a fantastic reputation among locals and tourists. They have a passion for serving high-quality, fresh seafood from local fishermen and using the very best Cornish produce \u2014 in a friendly and welcoming environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visiting the Wheelhouse not only provides incredible food but an overall experience that lives long in the memory. Plus, thanks to its ideal location, it\u2019s a fantastic place to fill your belly before an evening of drinks or maybe even a stroll down to Falmouth\u2019s world-famous harbour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kota Kai<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-61918\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carbisbayholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/09\/kota-kai-porthleven-14-1000x500-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1254\" height=\"627\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Are you looking to tuck into some of the best seafood in Cornwall while enjoying a wonderful view? Look no further than Porthleven\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kotakai.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kota Kai<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">! This warm, welcoming establishment has created an excellent environment for drinking and dining with a prime view of the harbour. Their menu includes both classic seafood dishes and a few unique options inspired by varied cultures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They are a family-friendly restaurant that strives to provide the best possible dining experience for every customer. With this in mind, they have a children\u2019s room with games and other activities to keep them occupied and allow the adults to enjoy some fine dining. This really adds to the experience and demonstrates a more in-depth understanding of their customer base and how to further improve your Kota Kai visit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hooked on the Rocks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-61919\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carbisbayholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/09\/tumblr_inline_o1o534lTKa1t6px1t_1280.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1256\" height=\"837\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hookedontherocksfalmouth.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hooked on the Rocks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> may not be on your radar when it comes to the best seafood in Cornwall, as it&#8217;s a bit more discreet and uniquely located compared to other restaurants. It looks over Swanpool beach in Falmouth and is quite literally on the rocks. It&#8217;s a great spot to sit down and enjoy delicious, fresh and sustainably sourced seafood with a view or simply have a drink or two while gazing out to sea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Falmouth Bay lobsters and crabs are caught locally (hence the name) \u2014 and mussels, fresh fish and Cornish oysters are brought in daily by local suppliers. It&#8217;s a beautiful place to spend a few hours and soak up some sun. If you&#8217;re yet to check it out, there&#8217;s no time like the present!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One Fish Street<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-61920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carbisbayholidays.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/09\/Carrots.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1255\" height=\"941\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This intimate restaurant in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbisbayholidays.co.uk\/stives.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">St Ives<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is most definitely an underrated gem, and likely somewhere many locals are yet to visit. Delicious dishes combined with a warm, friendly ambience make it perfect for a range of occasions, from casual meals to date nights and much more. They always prefer to work closely with local fishermen and suppliers to ensure that their seafood is both fresh and an authentic Cornish experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, if you take a look at their menu, you\u2019ll spot internationally inspired meals with the highest-quality meat and other ingredients \u2014 such as Welsh Wagyu steak, rare breed pork and even a range of Japanese sauces and produce.
