Harden's survey result
Summary
This intriguing and cramped venue (no surprise its owner is an architect) is “full of fun and just the freshest, simplest food – whole crabs and great fish” – a formula that has carried the Finnieston original since 2009 (it added a sibling this year, see also). “Be prepared to be very close to fellow diners, but it’s so worth it for the totally awesome food”.
Summary
“Fish and seafood heaven” – a Finnieston fixture since 2009, this bustling joint with a very ‘street’ attitude is “not to be beaten” for spanking-fresh crustacea and well turned-out fish at “amazing” prices for such quality. Perch at the bar, or book/hustle for a table in the small interior.
Summary
It’s “very crowded”, but there’s no knocking the “consistently fabulous fish and seafood” (which comes at “amazing” prices) at this idiosyncratic Finnieston fixture. You eat either counter-style at the front, or at a “closely-packed table” in one of the many nooks at the back or in the small upstairs section.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"What a disappointment that was. Food rather at the lower end and served in a rush as if this was a fast food place. Ambience poor, we smelled like a fryer after our visit."
