Fish & Seafood Restaurants in Sunderland
1. Colmans Seafood Temple
Fish & seafood restaurant in South Shields
Sea Road - NE33
“Ask for a table overlooking sea” when you visit this beachfront landmark (known locally as Gandhi’s Temple and dating from 1921), which was relaunched in 2017 as the flagship of local institution Colmans (see also): “excellent fish is served in a dining room with wonderful views”.
2. Colmans
Fish & chips restaurant in South Shields
182-186 Ocean Rd - NE33
Not all chippies can boast 100 years of operation (the business started as a hut on the foreshore in 1905) – this traditional operation is one of the few that can, but has moved with the times and only uses wild fish from sustainable fishing grounds, fried in additive-free vegetable oil. Nowadays its ‘Temple’ spin-off generates more interest in our poll, but the original remains highly rated for what it does.
3. Longsands Fish Kitchen
British, Traditional restaurant in Tynemouth
27 Front Street - NE30
“Beautifully cooked fish and really good chips” (and a good approach to dietary requirements, like “good gluten-free options served without any fuss”) help make this well-located fixture “the best in the local area”.
4. Riley's Fish Shop
Fish & seafood restaurant in Tynemouth
3-5 Percy Park Road - NE30
2023 Review: This 2021 opening is “a brilliant restaurant innovation in Tynemouth village to add to Adam Riley’s successful (and widely acclaimed) beach Fish Shack” – because “for all the hoo ha, who wants to sit on a beach with the wind whipping in from the North Sea? Better be tucked up inside, where you can have an excellent selection of small plates, often using parts of the fish (e.g. cod jaw) that are otherwise discarded”. “Dishes range from simple small plates made to order at the ground floor wet fish counter, to an outstanding 5-course themed meal in the first-floor dining room, allowing chef to showcase his creative skills using the latest catch.”
