About the Business

In 2010, me and my best pal, Mat Prowse, opened Rockfish in Dartmouth for the first time.

We'd always agreed that seafood tastes best by the sea, and that the fish caught in the waters off the south coast of Britain is the best in the world.

Yet at that time, if you drove to any of the south coast fishing ports, it was hard to find a family restaurant doing justice to this great seafood. We wanted to change that, to make it easy for people to enjoy this simple pleasure.

Since that first restaurant in Dartmouth, we have opened a few more restaurants in seaside towns where fishing is part of daily life. The thinking remains the same: buy the best seafood and cook it simply and expertly.

Fresh seafood and happiness. All by the sea.

We hope to see you soon.

Rockfish Seafood Restaurant

Specialties

We source the best in local seafood, straight from the markets each day. Sustainable seafood served fired, grilled or chargrilled caught and cooked within hours from our own boat Rockfisher, and others from the Brixham fishing fleet. Our seafood restaurant in Exmouth is located next to the town slipway overlooking the beautiful Exe estuary. The tide rips past the front of the dining room providing the perfect setting to enjoy freshly cooked seafood. Our chefs prepare sustainably caught, local fish simply by crisp frying, grilling or cooking over charcoal. On fine days we also have seating on the deck outside where you can enjoy great seafood overlooking the estuary. On colder days you can warm up inside the restaurant next to the log burner and keep cosy from the sea breeze and watch the fishing boats go by.
