"a difficult review when the restaurant tried to provide the service that I am sure they wanted. a busy Saturday midday in December, all the tables were tightly packed, there were no ceiling ventilation or were all windows open to provide covid ventilation protection. the menu is large with a lot of choice. we went for a selection of starters to share under the family. most were very small dishes, the flower flowers bites consisted only small floccules. I think that this was too expensive for everyone. for the net I divided half a steak/ale cake and crispy chili bark. the bark in the torte was chewing and blande, the chips rode in a customs of their life, and the muddy peas were simply crushed, cultivated garden. the chili beef on the other side was sensational, fully spiced, steaming hot and loads of it, with rice and crack. the dishes could no longer differ in quality and taste. similar mixed results were reported from the rest of the table. I appreciate that covid has hit local food companies hard and they are still trying to get their pre-pandemic service. there were many guests who were fed and the kitchen struggled to supply consistency; our main dishes were delivered in intervals, so we did not eat together and it took to put the net on the table. as mentioned it was brushed, but a service fee was added to the bill. I think this is a bad service, even if one takes into account the difficulties of the covid. I hope that this feedback will be taken and traded so that we can see an improvement when we visit next."

"Not really what I expected from a fish restaurant in the City.  I liked the rustic beachy decor, and the informal service.  Front of house was friendly and efficient but the kitchen was appallingly slow.We started with Colchester oysters which were perfectly loosened from their shells.  We did have a minute wait between ordering and actually getting our oysters.There was another minute wait for mains after getting the oyster shells cleared.  First to arrive were the sides we were sharing.  Chips were pleasant enough, but they were advertised as fish roe chips on the menu.  No evidence of fish roe.  The Asian slaw was a nice mix of finely julienned carrot, cabbage and red onion but way too salty being dressed solely with Thai fish sauce and sesame oil and black sesame seeds.  It really needed something acidic and maybe a hint of sweetness.  Up to this point, everything was off the regular Fish Market menu and fairly priced.For mains we had two orders of the crab roll and an octopus burger off the Claw menu.  Claw is a pop up and food stall that has a temporary residence at Fish Market.  Given the size and sparse amount of seafood, they were a rip off at a pop.  Not terrible, but quite disappointing.   My crab roll tasted primarily of commercially prepared mayonnaise.  Owner of the octopus burger had the same complaint. There was some samphire on my crab roll but it added more visual interest than taste.  The bread was the best part of the sandwich, being fluffy and drenched in butter before griddling.  But for a sandwich with indifferent filling and some excellent bread is pretty steep."
