No 7 Fish Bistro is nice and handy for the fresh seafood as it comes off the boats, then straight into the most fishy place you ever saw - surprisingly it claims to be the only seafood restaurant in Torquay. Cheerful and relaxing, it's busy, with a wide range of exciting names from the sea - John Dory, Brixham plaice, Star Point crab, Dover sole and so on.

Main courses might consist of: fillet of sole/plaice, filled with local crab or prawns and baked under a cheese and wine sauce; monkfish baked with black pepper and sea salt; scallops simmered with mushrooms, vermouth and lemon; filleted fish of the day deep-fried in our own batter; thick cut of prime cod fillet baked and served with prawns thermidor or fillets of fish and prawns, all cooked in a light tempura batter and served with 3 dips. As with so many seafood shrines puddings are something of an afterthought, but they certainly round things off well. There is a wine list with suitably inclined content, many under £20.
