Riley’s Fish Shack is located in Tynemouth, Tyne & Wear. The Good Food Guide says: “The location – a glass-fronted shipping container facing the North Sea – is spot-on for a menu inspired by the owners’ stints as street-food vendors. Seasonal seafood is the deal, and the day's dishes (and service times) often depend on the catch.”

Rock A Nore Kitchen is located in Hastings, East Sussex. The Good Food Guide says: “You can’t get much closer to the sea than this tiny, unassuming dining room housed in one of the tall, black, centuries-old fishermen’s sheds on the front in Hastings Old Town. It’s incredibly atmospheric. The ‘refreshingly succinct’ menu is chalked up on a board – all it tells you is what’s going to be on your plate and the price.”
