The Scallop Shell

You'll find yourself on one of Bath's most characterful streets, where The Scallop Shell sits sandwiched between Georgian architecture and independent shops. This is a proper neighbourhood restaurant—the kind where locals queue for a table and the air smells unmistakably of the sea. The kitchen takes fish seriously, changing the menu based on what's landed that day, and you can taste the difference immediately. It's the sort of place where you arrive hungry and leave genuinely satisfied, without the pretension that sometimes creeps into seafood restaurants.
