I ordered a picadinho for 2 it costs 17 pounds with extra sauce and it took 2 HOURS to deliver, was cold, very little amount for 2 people and awful taste... Not even close to a real picado. Would never order again.

AVOID!!
Amazing that in the fish market itself we could have the most revolting fish & chips ever! The staff were pleasant, but this could not make up for the grey “ stuff” in the middle of the batter, which looked like the cheapest option available at a low-cost supermarket.

F..A .B..U..L..O..U..S.. a lovely place, authentic, no frills great atmosphere, great food, good portion size and beautifully cooked. Don't be put off by the exterior, the food on the plate is delicious. The Sea bass is delightful and mussels are oh so full and in a creamy sauce.
So many pretentious places in Jersey with average food, but this is not one. Thank you Sam great food 👍

Little tucked away gem within the Fish Market. It was open Mondays which is very useful in St Helier. Had the Espedada of "surf and turf" beef cooked to perfection as were the very large prawns. Price very reasonable for the excellent quality of food. Also recommend the house red wine, surprised by the quality.

The food was not all that bad to be fair but nothing like the reviews, but after saying this both of us have not comfortable nights with our stomachs,inside it was not at all warm, spoiled by the next table where one of the people was really drunk, trying to smoke and basically ignoring requests to leave so we left instead which spoiled our evening out so sorry we won’t be returning.
