The first thing you notice is the spectacular sight of the Jurassic coastline, thanks to the floor to ceiling windows. Hix Oyster and Fish House prefers to keep things simple, a small terrace on the upper deck with a wooden bar is the best spot to enjoy lobster and chips, whilst gazing out to sea. For those who haven't managed to book a table upstairs do not fret over missing out on the visual delight. Enjoy a bit of theatre in the dining area downstairs with an open plan kitchen, enabling you to chat with the chefs as they go about their work.

A blackboard of the day's landing and house specialities using fresh fish make up the menu, in addition to a variety of seasonal oysters. Dishes such as jellied skate with pea shoot salad, lemon sole with fennel tops and roasted hake with clams and samphire come to table with confident simplicity.
