If your stirring for seafood still hasn’t been sated, then just a shell’s skim away from Fishers, and also on Whiteladies Road, is the Spiny Lobster. Any seafood restaurant with an on-site fishmonger (his name’s Barney and he boasts 30 years of experience, if you’re asking) is a cheering place to dine if you love your fish shiny, slimy and bright eyed, and the Spiny Lobster is no exception, with the ‘Daily Catch’ section of their website updated each and every day with what’s good and fresh. If you’re keen to dine in, the restaurant specialises in cooking that daily catch over coals, with the chefs working a central Josper grill to impart that distinctive smoky flavour into their prized primary ingredient.

The Spiny Lobster fishmonger and grill is located on Whiteladies Road in Clifton, offering "fresh fish sourced daily from Brixham in Devon, plus a simple meat menu prepared over a charcoal grill". Visiting just one month ago (at time of writing) one reviewer said: "This is an outstanding seafood restaurant with excellent service, great atmosphere and exquisite food. The scallops are a great start and the whole lobster was an interesting flavour sensation with a lot of spices and seasoning, which sort of works.

Bristol stalwart: For years I used to cycle past The Spiny Lobster, looking in at the beautiful dining room with fun seafood-based artwork and white tablecloth settings and wonder what it was like. A few years ago I was taken there for lunch and I fell in love with the place. The classic menu, with the dishes cooked beautifully with the best seafood around makes The Spiny Lobster worth going to.

Serving the freshest catch it can find from Devon, the grilled fish here is stunning. The menu changes everyday depending on the catch, and ranges from oysters and mussels to South Coast Monkfish. Sides include the classic chips, or you could opt for green beans or baby gem with anchovy and parmesan.

I still need to visit The Viet Kitchen, Muino, Clifton Thai, Rock Salt, Black Cumit and The Spiny Lobster, I am hoping to add these to the list if they are as good as I have heard. Where do you like to eat in this area?
