Decked out like a seafront café, with an unshowy menu & unhurried staff, Back to Basics is exactly that: a no-frills take on a fish restaurant. The cooking is a celebration of all things piscine: start with oysters, steamed mussels, spicy crab claws or marinated herring, before readying yourself for the main event. Quite rightly, this is based on whatever is fresh in from the delivery van – perhaps whole baked trout, curried red mullet or sea bass in a soy & chilli dressing. If the day’s listings don’t appeal, you can always fall back on one of the bistro staples such as a bowl of seafood pasta, warm chicken breast salad or rib-eye steak with chips. Puds stay with the beach holiday theme – think boozy bananas baked in foil with rum.
