Fresh From The Sea
About
Fresh From The Sea is a charming, small‑scale seafood shop and casual dining spot perched at the top of Port Isaac’s picturesque hill. Owned by Calum and Tracey Greenhalgh, the shop showcases hand‑picked lobster, crab, and other Cornish delicacies that are caught daily on Calum’s own boat, the Mary D. Visitors can dine on freshly cooked crab sandwiches or lobster salads in a sunny courtyard, or simply watch the catch arrive at the shop’s live fish display before taking it home boxed or on the go. The staff’s passion for sustainable, responsibly sourced fishing—evidenced by their MSC‑certified hand‑line methods—makes the experience feel both authentic and environmentally conscious. Whether you’re a seafood aficionado, a family on a coastal break, or a curious local, Fresh From The Sea offers a quick, flavourful taste of North Cornwall’s bounty. The relaxed, table‑service atmosphere and friendly staff make it a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. The open‑air courtyard gives guests the feel of a seaside market, while the indoor space provides a cosy setting if rain or wind rolls in. It’s a place where you can taste the day’s haul, learn a bit about the fishing traditions of Port Isaac, and leave with a bag of fresh Cornish fish or a souvenir cake. For those craving fresh seafood on the go, the shop also sells a selection of mussels, oysters, and other shellfish bundled by nearby suppliers, so it’s more than just a single‑moment lunch—it's a culinary adventure you can take back to your accommodation.
