Ventnor Haven Fishery Takeaway

Several years back I had the most delicious crab and chips from this outlet. I made the error of remembering it as a crab sandwich (it was crab and chips) and, accordingly, asked the owner if they sell this now. I did not expect the curt attitude with such rudeness and sarcasm. It might have been the previous owners who sold crab and chip, with massive success; I cannot be sure. Be prepared……I am sure that Covid and Brexit have wreaked havoc on their business but it isn’t about to improve anytime soon with this level of customer service.

Had the best potted crab that I've ever eaten absolutely fresh, succulent a taste to die for....worth every penny will be back for more before the end of our hols!

Crab is second to none and fish as fresh as you can find anywhere. Highly recommended. Don't really get the comments about the lady in there. She was quite direct and to the point but I wouldn't describe her as rude. Will definitely go back on our next visit.

Do not make the mistake of thinking this is a takeaway or restaurant.It is the retail outlet of a Ventnor based family fishing business. The fish is caught every day,is totally fresh and top quality. You get what they have caught on the day plus crab and prawns. You get expert advice on cooking. Once you are clear on what it is- not,repeat not a takeaway everything is brilliant.

Let’s get something straight- this is an outlet selling amazing fresh fish caught daily. Over many years living in Brittany I have never come across fish as fresh and good as at The Fish Haven. Let’s also get another thing straight- the lady serving here who is criticised in reviews here is knowledgeable,helpful and friendly. If I had idiot visitors thinking I was running a takeaway or some fancy takeaway I’d be impatient,not least with rude and overbearing visitors. Fishing is not an easy trade and the team here work very hard. Local residents know the truth- this is one of the best locations in a quirky town which is fast becoming a gourmet centre. So buy fish,take their advice on how to cook it and enjoy the wonderful experience.
