Outlaw's Fish Kitchen — Restaurant in Great Britain

Made a booking weeks prior to my trip to Cornwall and is pleased to say that Nathan Outlaw has successfully delivered some of the best seafood dishes I’ve had in the UK. Located in the middle of the quaint Port Issac and in a historic Grade-I building, diners are immediately transported to a cozy, welcoming setting where servers ensured that every part of the experience feels like a homage to home.

FOOD REVIEW:

Crispy Porthilly Oyster, Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato - 5/5⭐️ Panko-crusted and deep fried, creamy in the inside with a perfect crunchy exterior. While the crisp lettuce cuts through the richness of the oyster, the acidity of the tomato balances out the oiliness of the dish, resulting in a flavour explosion that will certainly be remembered.

Crispy Cuttlefish, saffron mayonnaise - 2.5/5⭐️ Unfortunately underwhelming as it was over-seasoned and slightly overcooked. Expectations were high but this dish struggled to deliver.

Baked Free-Dived Scallop, Orange & Rosemary Butter - 4.5/5⭐️ The scallop was cooked to perfection and covered in buttery, aromatic sauce packed with freshness.

Harbourside Feast - 5/5⭐️ A feast that leaves you with a smile on your face. The Poseidon’s Pot alone deserves a Michelin star - lobster, octopus and red mullet cooked in the heartiest seafood broth, soaking up all the aromatic flavours and leaving you wanting for more. Other highlights included in the set are the pickled anchovies, steamed lobster dumplings and that extremely soft sourdough to soak up all the sauces. Such a value for money considering the variety of dishes included in the set and how every single one was to die for.

Basil Cream, Strawberry, Oat Crumble - 3/5⭐️ Projection of the basil flavour unfortunately on the weaker side but overall a pleasant way to cleanse the pallet and wrap up the meal.

FOOD: 4.5/5⭐️ SERVICE: 5/5⭐️ ATMOSPHERE:...

Dinner. Within a Grade II listed 15th century fisherman’s cottage overlooking the harbour and the sea. There's not many decent restaurants open on a Monday night,unusually this is. Bookings are either 6.00pm or 8.30pm. The earlier time slot was full and we managed to get in for the later time. It is basically two sittings, as it's a very small restaurant with only 8 tables. Whatever you do,don't arrive early as they will not let you in until your time. Of course we were early and had a drink in the pub opposite anxiously waiting for the door to open.

When booking,we thought it looked cheap at £95 a head for a One Michelin Star restaurant. Having a second look at our reservation,we realised it was for a sharing menu. So, it's a tasting menu to share and you get to chose off what's called 'When the boat comes in' board for the main course. Which is the catch of the day.

You start off with 3 nibbles,Scallop tartare,cured monkfish,smoked trout with warm bread and butter. Followed by 3 seafood plates,Crab & heritage tomatoes,a nice peice of Bass and a breaded Hake. From the board we chose the Turbot on the bone. Cooked to perfection with a beautiful butter and herb sauce,served with a fresh anchovy and tomato salad. Looking round at the other tables,everyone else had chosen the lobster. Well we like to be different,and Lobster is a little overated in our opinion anyway. Dessert was a refreshing strawberry and elderflower cream with an oat crumble. The food is simple, but yet effective and delicious. Staff are very friendly and professional. We were all done and dusted in the space of two hours,from start to finish. It didn't feel rushed,it's just a very slick service. Would we return? Yes, in...

As part of a package we had a reservation for dinner at the Fish Kitchen, somewhere we had not been before. This is a small restaurant with probably no more than 20 covers at a time, and there is a time limit of 90 minutes if you eat before 8.30m.

There are only a couple of serving staff, which is more than adequate, and the portions are small and sharing style which suits the location perfectly. We had a table in an alcove, which allowed me to watch part of the kitchen, which was fun!

Wine list is modest but with some very good wines, which are reasonably priced.

The smoked Mackerel dip, Beetroot and sourdough toast was particularly good opening and set up the meal perfectly, before moving onto Cured Brill, Citrus, Fennel which I really enjoyed.

Cured Gurnard, followed by Crispy Spiced Monkfish with red cabbage, continued the journey through fresh fish all landed locally.

The star for me was the whole Dover Sole, on the bone with. Cornish Potatoes with garlic and lemon butter — perfection, we even got an extra portion of potatoes with a knowing smile from the staff, seems it happens fairly often. My wife generally does not like fish on the bone but she was very happy.

After a brief break to finish the excellent bottle of locally produced Camel Valley white wine.

A great desert was then brought out, Passion Fruit, Peanut and Vanilla Baked Alaska what a finish for a highly enjoyable dinner. Fresh mint tea to finish a perfect evening.

This is a brilliant restaurant with a great team that provide a memorable evening. All for £55 a head plus wine ~ very readable!
