The Oyster Shack

Like its sibling in Bigbury, Salcombe’s Oyster Shack is pretty good at reeling in the punters; the no-frills dining room is done out in a mildly nautical manner, while tables on the deck area overlooking the creek fill up quickly during the summer months. There’s no arguing with the freshness of the catch, & crowds are lured by the prospect of oysters every which way, whole crabs & lobsters served with nothing more than Marie Rose sauce, bread & salad, or mussels in garlic, smoked bacon, vermouth & cream. Elsewhere on the menu, expect grilled Cornish sardines with roast red pepper pesto & basil oil, seafood bisque, & roast skate wing with capers & beurre noir.
