The Sea Tree Ware — Restaurant in East Hertfordshire

Even we came really late the staff was not rushing us. They were really kind and welcoming. We tried out Haddock with chips, shrimp burger and fish stew. Everything was so delicious. The haddock was nice and crispy, not too oily and not too flaky inside. Came with amazing homemade tartare sauce, yummy mushy peas and decent chips. Not too thick and not too thin. The right size. Only forgot to try out their curry. Was surprised about the combination of the crispy fried prawns with sweet chilli sauce, rocket salad and brioche bun. It all worked well together. The fish or I would call seafood stew was my wife's favourite dish. Tiny fish pieces in a nice, mild tomato soup accompanied with prawns, squid rings, mussels and clams. They have nailed the taste of it. Unfortunately they didn't have the fisherman's pie but for that there is always...

I'm on an extended trip to England. This place is going to be a regular stop for me.

I had the rock eel and chips. Let me just say in the US we are missing out on this amazing protein and this one was cooked perfectly. I also had the cod/haddock on a previous visit. Also come very well.

The chips (fries for the uncultured Americans) are done the right was with a par cook and cool then second fry leaving them crisp and irresistible. The only recommendation would be for them to be salted hot instead of at the table but I get why it's not.

Also tried the oysters. Very good. It's fresh oysters. What can I say.

Definitely worth the stop if you here...

One of the best fish and chips I've ever had. It should be noted that the markup in price reflects the quality (£15.95 for fish and chips seated inside) but it is worth it as it's not your average. The owner clearly knows what he's doing. The batter is gluten free and the fat taste is very clean. I've also tried the fish pie here which is one of the best I've ever had. Salmon, prawn, paddock, boiled egg and exceptionally creamy mash. Would recommend both dishes highly. Also a good selection of bottled beers to accompany the dinner. The chef on duty has asked us on both visits how our food was, so you can tell they care for customer...
