The Fish Cottage at Sandsend is worth a try, but I’ve found it a bit hit and miss.

Seaview in Saltburn is fantastic, both the food and the views.

 

[Concrete Dreams]

Agree with both of the above.
Star in the Harbour was great but it has just closed.

For a takeaway (you can sit on the seafront or park opposite) Latimers at Whitburn (north of Roker, ok I know it’s not Teesside) is great. Used to do a sit in as well but closed it during Covid

Ye really lovely in there

Another vote for Seaview in Saltburn.. the Crab Brioche is fantastic.

There’s also Estbek House in Sandsend, not cheap but highly rated.

The cod and lobster in Staithes is very very good.

Slightly further afield but worth it is rileys fish shack at tynemouth.

Riley's Fish Shack

Riley's Fish Shack is a semi-portable fish bar and grill based on King Edward's Bay, Tynemouth, serving local, seasonal fish and seafood.

Really unhappy as that was a wonderful place.

I'm loathe to right this and please don't tell anyone else as it's a bit of a hidden gem but No.20 in Port Mulgrave is exceptional and by a long way the best in the area.

Notable mention for the Cod and Lobster in Staithes and although not a pure seafood place the fish option at the Eskdale is always excellent.

As for Riley's Fish Shack in Tynemouth the food is always very good and the outdoor rustic concept really enjoyable I found having a £30 piece of turbot on a cardboard tray with a wooden fork a bit of a mish mash, so I tend to use Riley's Fish Shop for dinner and the Shack for snacks and lunch.

The Crab and Lobster at Asenby,Thirsk-just down the A19 is superb

Joplins, Great Ayton.

The fish platter in the Rose and Platter in Marske is excellent.
I like Trenchers in Whitby. The fish is always excellent, the chips can be hit and miss but the Staropramen makes up for them.

I still hold the magpie as my favourite

i would caution against eating anything with a scale or a crust brought up from the seas around the north east.

apart from the water company's flooding the seas full of human waste - the dredging of the beds is committing the Sealife to wholesale poisonings and death by poison.

don't shoot the messenger, i didn't vote tory.

There isn’t much chance of that
Around 90% of fish we eat now comes in via Grimsby but is fished miles away outside our filthy waters

If they took 20% of the tables out it would be a miles better experience. Always feels a bit rammed in there which puts me off.

Dont eat the crabs. I think there may be a problem. Fish seem immune though

I’m pitching for oxbridge chippy, can’t beat their cod n chips…
