Summary
“The queuing and lack of finesse in customer care (plus the uncomfortable shed setting) are all part of the joy” at this rough-and-ready veteran spot, turning out “amazing fresh fish”… er, and that’s about it, so you may want to take advantage of the BYO bread and bottle policy (though they do now have a licence too).

Summary
“A must try” – “take your own bread and wine (glasses are provided)” if you want to eat some of “the best, freshest seafood you’ll find anywhere, in this somewhat off-putting wooden shed”. “The setting is basic but you always have to queue to get in, and no wonder”.
Summary
“Supplied by the boats landing just outside”, this descriptively named shack is “basic, but in an amusing, offbeat way to treasure”. You queue, and also need to “bring your own bread and wine” so it’s “therefore cheap”.
