Great place for lunch, but beware: the cooking is very heavy on butter and oil. While the flavours are good, some of the dishes have way too much butter in their sauce which makes it challenging on the stomach.

Superb service and ambience with attention to details, but the food is very heavy (e.g., drenched in cream). The appetizer garlic chili prawns came swimming in a pool of butter. The hake entree was drenched in heavy cream (same with the scallop entree; same sauce?). Surely, there are other ways to cook seafood than drowning them in fat? Felt bloated after the meal.

Visited here for our anniversary. Staff were wonderful and we were treated to a complimentary glass of Prosecco each for the occasion which was a lovely thoughtful touch. Staff were attentive and a credit to the establishment. The sourdough bread tasted fresh. The fish soup was lovely and rich. The fillet steak absolutely melted in the mouth and was cooked perfectly. The tuna sashimi had clean fresh flavours. Th seabass ceviche had bold and light flavours running through and was very refreshing. This was our first visit but definitely won’t be our last. Delicious food and wonderful service 10/10

We are here last night as an early Mother’s Day meal and it was DELIGHTFUL.The host showed us to a wonderful table overlooking the high street. Our waitress took our order promptly for drinks and informed us of the specials.The food itself was stunning. Between the crusted salmon, pan fried hake and the olives to start it was all delicious.Ambience was nice. The sound of people chatting and laughing was lovely but not too loud at all.This is our second visit, and no doubt we’d be back for a third!

I can't fault it except food wasn't as great as expected. I can cook better at home, much better. I had to ask to remove California roll from the bill as it was literally, only rice for £9.95. They were very kind and removed it from the bill. Sushi wasn't good. Starters were ok.

One of the best meals we’ve had in ages - the hake was incredible, as were the cocktails. Will definitely be visiting again!

We had a big family gathering to celebrate the life of my 98 year old mum. We pre-ordered the food and everything turned out perfectly and well organised. The staff were very polite and accommodating especially Charlotte andJako (the boss). The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Highly recommended!Vegetarian options: I had cauliflower curry and it was delicious!

A very nice high street fish restaurant. Having said that we had ham hock as a starter and it was good!
It was a very good meal. The seafood in particular is excellent. The starters were top and the menu looked very appealing. I also had chicken which was great for a non seafood eater. The wine list is extensive and there’s a full bar. Service was attentive and very professional. It does get busy as it seems popular so booking ahead is an idea if in bigger groups. There are tables on three floors so you should be able to walk up. Price was pretty reasonable. Looking around £50 upwards for three courses and a drink.

I had roasted whole Sea Bass plus fries and it was fantastic. My wife had the fish mixed grill and thoroughly enjoyed that.

Thank you to the whole team at Fish at 55 for looking after our large family party so well. The food was amazing and we would not be able to fault the excellent and attentive service we had - especially from Charlotte and Jako. It's never easy to prepare and serve food for a large family group but I can honestly say that the staff excelled with both the quality of the meals and their attentive service. Thank you for making our day! Linda Taylor
