The Oyster & Fish House, Lyme Regis

Mark Hix has launched his brand new Oyster & FIsh House on the same site as his previous incarnation, the HIX Oyster & Fish House:  up on the Lyme Regis hillside overlooking The Cobb and Jurassic Coast beyond – spectacular!

Take a seat in the super relaxed, light and airy dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the sea or on the wraparound terrace. Every single table has a brilliant view.

This place does what it says on the can: locally landed fish and seafood on menus which change twice a day depending on the catch. Starters might include crispy oyster and sugar pit bacon salad, linguine with Poole cockles, chilli and garlic; mains grilled Lyme Bay lobster with garlic butter and Thornback ray with capers, lemon and parsley and moreish puds. Vegetarian and kids’ menus too.

Want to buy fish and seafood to cook up yourself? Look out for Mark’s fish truck, a converted Chevrolet ambulance, outside Felicity’s Farm Shop in Morcombelake DT6 6DJ, every Thursday to Saturday, 9am till 12pm.
