Customers don't need to be encouraged to feel at home in the Bluefish, as this happens on its own, almost always! They never rush people at the tables, and pamper diners with both food and the service.

The place is full of character with simple white décor and lovely Portland stone walls; in the evenings it is transformed with atmospheric lighting and candlelight. Chef/owner Luciano has his wife Jo and her sister Karen working in the front of house whilst he beavers away in the kitchen, turning out both classic and modern dishes.

Choices from a daily changing menu of locally landed fish range from a bowl of steaming mussels, to perfectly grilled hake, and braised shoulder of venison with celeriac purée.

They run special meal deal menus on Wednesday and Thursday with a popular Moules et Frites evening, with live guitars, and offer a free glass of house wine or beer, and a two or three-course set meal alongside. At weekends a two-course lunch runs with the á la carte.

Opening times and days vary according to the season.
