4 star ratingAlways innovative and guaranteed fresh fish of various types. We enjoyed our fish dishes and small plates. It’s not a terribly comfortable little restaurant as seats are not great. Fred’s potatoes are magical and recommended. Tried the small beefburger on this visit and it was beautifully created. Forgive me this comments, but the experience might be further elevated if the kind and helpful staff were less casually dressed as this detracts from what is quite an expressive dinner routine. We look forward to a future visit.

5 star ratingEvery mouthful was absolutely delicious. We came for lunch and the three of us shared all the starters/small plates between us accompanied by some bread and potatoes. It was all outstanding. The sea bass and monkfish were particularly memorable. The potatoes were epic, and be careful not to fill up on the wonderful bread but save it to mop up the flavours.
We’ll be back.
As others have said, it’s a little restaurant so well worth booking ahead.

5 star ratingThe Fish Market was one of our go to places we had marked for our recent culinary trip to Looe. We had crossed paths with Fred purely by chance in Kingsbridge and were keen to check out his place.
IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
Fred was there on the day of our visit and actively at the stove, I tip my hat ..
The menu read well and we opted for a whole John Dory with Curried Butter. The Dory was so on point, cooked to perfection. The butter complimented the fish in every way and didn’t over power it .👌
Our main was accompanied by a raw ribbon courgette Salad with Za’atar ,Lemon & Oil, probably the best and most moorish scrunchie potatoes dusted with paprika and other goodness and seasoned to perfection .damn they were good. The final culinary treat was a peach & burrata salad. The combination was a joy to eat.
We dined Al fresco as the weather was kind that day .. watching the boats coming in and going out, drinking great wine and eating such superb food made for a real package deal
Keep up the Great Work!

Came to The Fish Market on the last night of a week's stay in Looe, and ... wow ... saved the best for last. Lovely little place, limited tables and a dining room with open kitchen cooking a small menu of amazing food. The seafood and fish stew I had was one of the best meals I've ever had. My friend had the steak and said its the best steak hes ever been served. Oh and special mention to the bread and olives as an appetizer. I can't fault any of the experience. You'll need to book as it's very popular and a small dining room, but you get a great service and can watch your meal being cooked by the amazing chefs. Thoroughly recommended. Visit!

Some of the best food I’ve had in a long time, I don’t usually write reviews but it was just that good. Menu is very heavy on fish (as stated in the name) but there are lots of delicious meat/veg options for someone who isn’t super keen on seafood, as my partner isn’t. We had the bread, prawns, burrata and peach salad, and the the ribeye with bordelaise, everything was incredible, the burrata salad isn’t one to miss and the steak was one of the best I’ve had. Expensive but for the quality of the food it is very fair. Lovely cosy atmosphere and open kitchen where you can see the chefs working, not one to miss if you love good food👌🏻
