Harden's says
Little sister to the Islington Prawn, and inhabiting a venerated Padstow site (formerly Margot's, RIP), this tiny fishmonger-cum-restaurant shows off what's on today's menu in the shop window.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“A little gem!” – Rick & Katie Toogood’s “exceptional” seafood specialist, an offshoot of their Islington original, serves “the freshest of fish cooked simply but superbly”. It’s “very small (24 covers), so booking is essential”, but worth it as a “good laid back alternative to The Seafood Restaurant and Paul Ainsworth at No 6” (and more enthusiastic fans this year feel it “beats its more famous Padstow neighbours by a country mile”). “There’s an on-site fishmongers, which you can choose from if you don’t fancy anything on the small menu”.
Summary
A “great addition to the Padstow food scene” – this “quirky” two-year-old sibling to the Islington original is a great choice for “innovative and delicious” seafood; you can opt to enjoy it in the slightly “cramped” 24-cover dining room, or cart it away from the on-site fishmongers.

"What a delight. Great produce beautifully prepared and served. This is a welcome addition to Padstow, filling the gap left by Margot's seemlessly. First booking on the list when we make our annual pilgrimage to Padstow."
