Saltwater Fish Company — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

We were recommended this restaurant for good oysters in Newcastle.

I ordered 2 happy hour Lindisfarne oysters, 1 each of the 3 other oysters on the Blackboard, and a special Calabrian Chilli and Crispy Shallots oyster.

For someone who wanted to try the selection the restaurant had, I'd say it was worth the money, but I have to admit £4.50 per oyster is steep.

The Lindisfarne oysters were salty, but it could've been from the ice because I did catch a salt crystal or two in my mouth. It was still yummy, and £2 per oyster is a great deal for happy hour.

The oyster topped with the chilli and bawang goreng was meh. Which made the £6 pounds ever heavier. And it was recommended by the waiter! Oh well, it was an experience nonetheless.

I'm grouping the Isle of Mull and Whitstable oysters together because I honestly can't recall the taste except that they were briney and okay.

Being passionate about cooking and fine dining I was delighted to watch the skilled chefs preparing our meals and it was a nice experience overall. I highly...

What a brilliant place! Spent the day in Newcastle and was delighted to find this seafood restaurant for a magnificent lunch. Very surprised to find it in the food hall of a department store (Fenwick's) but very glad we did. Food was superb and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The open kitchen meant that we could watch our food being prepared and the fishmonger section added interest as there was a huge variety of fish available to take home and cook (if you live in Newcastle, which we don't). The only very slight issue was that the food is served at a bar and the barstools are quite high for a small person. Will certainly visit again when we are next...
