8 Fish Restaurants near Whitby

We found 8 Fish restaurants within 17 miles 17 miles of Whitby

The beauty of restaurants in Whitby is that their proximity to the sea means you’re basically guaranteed fresh seafood for tea if that’s what you’re after. Snuggled up on the coast of north Yorkshire, Whitby is famous for its fish and chips, picture-perfect pastel houses and of course, for being Dracula’s rumoured birthplace.

If you don’t want to wander the street looking for your fried food fix but are looking for fish and chips at a Whitby restaurant you can simply filter by the fish box on this page to help narrow things down. One of our favourites is Trenchers, which has been a Whitby institution since it opened in 1980. Here you’ll find all the trappings of the best kind of chippie – crisp batter, soft chips, crunchy scraps and that all-important curry sauce (or gravy, depending what camp you’re in).

And it’s not just seaside cliches that you can find in Whitby’s line-up of restaurants, this popular holiday spot is also home to a few fine diners. One of our favourites is The Star Inn at The Harbour by chef Andrew Hern - who owns another Michelin starred pub close by. Here you can expect top-end pub grub like a prawn cocktail with a Bloody Mary sorbet or seared scallops with pork belly. Also, just a stone’s throw away you’ll find The Black Swan at Oldstead – a Michelin starred restaurant by Tommy Banks near York. Well worth the short drive, this fine dining destination specialises in modern British food.

Back on the cobbled lanes of quaint Whitby and you’ll find all sorts of other more laidback café and restaurants to enjoy lunch or dinner at if you prefer something a little lighter. You could try one of The Willow Branch’s famous afternoon teas or a plate of fresh seafood at Quayside – a family-owned seafood cafe which has been around since the 1950s.
