The Fish Shed St Ives

You're sitting right on Porthmeor Beach with sand practically under your feet and that proper Atlantic light flooding in. The Fish Shed does exactly what it says on the tin — fresh fish, simply prepared, no pretension. The menu shifts with whatever the boats bring in, so you might get Cornish hake one week and branzino the next. It's the kind of place where locals still outnumber tourists (just), where you can roll up in your walking clothes after a coastal path hike, and where they won't judge you for ordering fish and chips alongside a proper sit-down meal.
