"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."

"Text: Disappointed with this restaurant which I’ve used over 8 times in 18 months. I drove from Crawley and booked ahead of time for my 66th birthday lunch a table for 4 at 1.30pm with my wife and two teenage kids aged 16&18. The price is reasonable when the quality is good the bill came to £185.00 including £20 service charge automatically added to the bill. Overview: The service was okay as usual quick but not friendly we were served by 5 different people. However what was horrible and shocking was that the food quality has dropped significantly since my last visit in September 2023. The scallops were very good as usual but the haddock and chips was very disappointing indeed…(more later) Oysters were pathetic the flesh was tiny and not tasty at all. Calamari was soft and the batter was soggy and ‘flat’. The fish and chips … haddock was dry and flakey and chewy clearly frozen fish. The batter was completely different to my last meal at Regency this time it was soggy and flat no crisp whatsoever. The chips were cold and miserable. The apple pie was disgusting really disgusting tasteless and bland and the pie crust was soft and soggy the runny cream was a bit sour and suspect my wife asked me to taste it and I poured some into my double espresso and it curdled. The tiramisu and profiteroles were ok. I just recently voted this restaurant for best in Brighton but I think that was a mistake. It’s a shame the food quality was so poor especially for simple things that should be excellent and are not technically acceptable! Poor show."
