Ideal For A Seafood Sojourn: Fishers, Bristol

We recently headed to everyone’s favourite Bristol neighbourhood, Clifton, and to Fishers, on the famous foodie-haven of Whiteladies Road

Here, all the right noises are made to assure fish fanatics that they’re in for a good meal. The words ‘’dayboat’’, ‘’freshly caught’’, and ‘’Cornwall’’ spill from the waiter’s lips. The maritime blue and white branding calls to mind a quintessential British vacation by the sea. There are, of course, lifebuoys and anchors adorning the walls.

Some of this may feel a little trite if the food didn’t deliver, but oh buoy (sorry) does it; the no frills, just fins and gills dishes are resolutely crowd-pleasing, with a catch-curated menu that proudly puts the fish front-foot forward and firmly on a pedestal. 

Come for the restaurant’s signature bouillabaisse, its red rusty-hue clinging to the sides of the bowl resolutely, just as it should be. Stay, if you like, for the hot shellfish platter for two, keenly priced at £46 and brimming with squeaky fresh prawns, Cornish king scallops, River Exe mussels and the rest.

Pair all of this (rather unusually, we accept) with a glass or two of Tarquin’s Pastis, shipped in straight from Cornwall, and you’ve got yourself a very happy afternoon of eating indeed.

Address: 35 Princess Victoria St, Clifton, Bristol BS8 4BX
