The Briny

You're walking along Clarence Esplanade with the sea air hitting you, and The Briny pulls you in with that promise of decent fish and chips without the tourist trap pricing. It's the kind of place where locals actually eat, not where they take visitors to impress them. The menu leans into what works—sustainably sourced seafood, simply prepared so you taste what you're paying for. Sit by the window and watch the solent while you eat; it's genuinely the best seat in Southsea if you time it right. Fair prices, no fussing about, proper portions.
