Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Open 7 days a week.
Just put your order in and collect on the day you leave
Park in the town for £1 and grab some scones as well.
Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and happy to explain the different types of fish to you.
The highlight was WHITE CRAB MEAT ( which is just claw meat only) who knew it was a thing? Totally delicious but £13 for 200g but well worth it as it’s totally different from normal “crab meat”

Really expensive and the assistant didn’t bother fully removing the scales of the sea bass she filleted . Did half a job and given the prices charged I would expect decent fishmonger skills. Had a cheaper and better experience with.more friendly, helpful customer service at Leeds fish market.It wasn’t even a busy day so no excuse. Would not recommend

Bought 1kg of mussels from pengellys in looe today and firstly, our experience in the shop wasnt great - I was passed off by the young man behind the counter to his colleague - “you deal with her” and - when asking for 1kg mussels was greeted with a sigh.
Upon getting home we noticed almost half of the mussels were cracked, open or broken in some way.
We had transported them very carefully and gently - there is no way this could have happened in transit
.
So disappointed when they were also significantly pricier than our usual local fishmonger in North Devon.
This all said - the mussels that did make it into the saucepan were meaty and nice - although sadly, I suspect not today’s catch.
We were so excited to find Pengellys and read so many positive reviews.. but we wouldn’t return... and will be needing extra food tonight to fill us up!

When leaving Looe after a lovely weeks holiday we bought a hen crab to take home and dress. The young man who sold it to us sad it was freshly boiled and should be allowed to cool and therefore not to be put into the ice we purchased until it was cool. We obeyed these instructions to the letter. After arriving home my wife opened up the crab. It was disgusting - a mass of foul smelling water in both the body and the claws. The whole crustacean had to be disposed of. It cost an astonishing £16.00 plus £1.00 for ice - we have never had to pay for ice before when buying from Richard & Ruth (the previous proprietors).
We notified Pengellys by e-mail the next day. Over a week has now elapsed and we have not been extended the courtesy of either an acknowledgement or reply - so much for customer care and common courtesy.
Our advice for future prospective customers of Pengellys - DO NOT BUY!.
There are 2 other fishmongers within yards of Pengelleys. Give them a try and save your money.
