Thin and crispy batter
It's so refreshing to come across a fish n chip shop which does a nice thin and crispy batter which isn't too oily — Ocean Heart Seafood seems to have got it right. I order the Small Fisherman's Basket so I can try a few things. From the first bite of the seafood stick I was impressed with the thinness of the batter. The prawn cutlets were battered rather than the usual crumbing — it was good to see there was more prawn than batter on these. The crumbed calamari rings were also pretty large and tender with a tasty coating. The flavoursome BBQ Octopus was marinated in plenty of garlic amongst other things — thankfully not too rubbery as well. The small greek salad was quite small especially when the pieces of salad are cut quite large but it's good to see they managed to put a bit of everything in it. I noticed on the awards wall that they don't use animal fat which sounds like a good thing for the waistline.

Hi Simon, I've always passed this place but never tempted to try, but after reading ur reviews, will definitely try it asap ;)
Also I would like to wish u a safe new years eve and a very happy new year 2010...
Your blogs always makes me hungry :)
Beige food group good for new years too, happy new year!
This is my favourite place for fish and chips down by Brighton-Le-Sands, as it's always busy. The fact that there are only about four tiny tables doesn't deter me either, as there's always the beach to take the food to. Plus, Malcolm In The Middle was playing when you took the photo of their awards wall and TV; who doesn't love that? LOL.
