Shoals Seafood Restaurant is the brainchild of Sean and Sarah Perkes. Established in 2014, the once storage room for the open air seawater pool has been transformed into a unique fish lovers dream. The small family run restaurant and outside terrace provide beautiful coastal views across the bay and beyond.

    First visit to Shoals and what a gem. Food and service were fantastic, can highly recommend. Weather was miserable but can imagine this a great place in summer.

    A perfectly small and delicious menu of mainly fish and seafood, exactly what we’d hoped for. Well done Shoals.

    Our second visit - the first was on a visit to Devon 2 years ago. The restaurant is still as good. Perfect fish cookery and an amazing view across the bay.

    Booked at very short notice and glad we did because they were full, on a Sunday evening out of season! Just shows what and excellent restaurant Sean and Sarah have created, so good that the crew from another local venue were there having a night out! I would heartily recommend Shoals to anyone who loves well cooked quality fish, go any time of year but certainly try it in the summer where the nights are lighter and you can take advantage of one of the best restaurant views in the bay!

    Very enjoyable lunch for two. Friendly service backed up with excellent food to match. We both decided to try the set lunch and we were not disappointed. The scallops with cauliflower purée was delicious as was the seafood chowder. The Thai green seafood curry contained a large portion of fish including scallops, prawns and mussels and was full of flavour. Cannot wait to visit again.

    Always come here when we come down to Brixham , great food as always, just one little moan that we had to order all side dishes separate now , think main dishes still should come with a choice of potatoes , but food was great as ever
