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.

Great little seafood stall, selling traditional seaside snacks. As well as snacks like oysters, cooked prawns and jellied eels, they also do food like dressed crabs for takeaways and a selection of fish rolls. They also sell a small selection of drinks, including Prosecco - all very reasonably priced.

My husband and I had never had a fresh lobster so we contacted Valerie who very kindly contacted us back. As we was not sure what to do she dressed our lobster for us, we also brought a fresh crab. All was so fresh and delicious. We'll worth the money £32. We would definitely recommend.

Perfect for a walk along the harbour arm or sea front. My son likes the jellied eels, I prefer their tapas style specials, either way, really nice staff, fresh and with bread too. Go at high tide as the seaweed can kick up a bit when its low.

Bit disappointing. Visiting on a Wednesday morning.. no oysters available. Stall claimed the last few had just been sold. How can that be with Whitstable just a few miles away. The whelks I bought were not fresh and had the texture of being previously previously frozen. I won’t return sorry

For avoidance of doubt this isn’t a restaurant, it’s a stall with a couple of benches. Stopped for a seafood snack about midday after visiting the Turner. Disappointed that no oysters, even though the boards advertising “oysters and bubbles” were still prominently displayed. Settled for a tub of cockles instead, and they tasted great, but really not a substitute for oysters. Slightly off-putting remarks from one of the three rather underemployed women in the stall - she didn’t offer a card machine but waited while I found some cash, then commented “yes, people are using cash more now COVID has gone” (it hasn’t, of course, but her attitude didn’t seem out of kilter with how we had observed locals behaving).

The quality of seafood here is second none. It is properly cleaned and delicious. The oysters are fabulous and are the best I have ever eaten in England. Been coming here since it opened in the sixties and quality always consistent so don't understand any bad reviews as they are nonsense!

We now live in the North East and booked a week in Maidstone to go Back down memory Lane. We both had cockles,they were just as we remembered them,except The portion was bigger than the old China plate. Even Better. The stall now offers Oysters and Prosecco or wine,very good idea. Very friendly staff and spotlessly clean.

Excellent service. Ordered via messenger a dressed lobster and dressed crab. It was absolutely fantastic, fresh and tasty. Best seafood we have tasted. Dressed lobster recommended. Excellent price and value.

Fabulous selection of seafood served by lovely friendly ladies. We had half a lobster, crevettes, cockles, muscles and whelks - all fabulously fresh. Cannot wait to go back to Margate! A marvellous find.

Disappointing choice compared to other seafood outlets, not very tasty and doesn’t seem very fresh. Other seafood stalls we have visited have offered better choice and definitely appears fresher

Poor Quality seafood, mostly frozen. I expected more than that. First time of trying this outlet and will definitely be the last time. I would have been better going to Iceland.

Warm tapas is good, although the jellied eels were excellent. Anchovies also recommended by our party. Don’t forget to ask for a slice of bread to mop up with. Always worth a stop when in the harbour area. Then pop into the Kent market after for a cake. Happy days.

Stopped off here for a bit of seafood, I had whelks with vinegar and pepper, my wife had cockles with vinegar and pepper. Both enjoyed our seafood. Clean seafood not gritty, the fellow who served us explained how they clean and cook the whelks, DEL, I think that was his name, was friendly and helpful. I bought some more whelks and a crab sandwich, to take home with us in a cool bag. Decent sized portions at a reasonable price.There was a fair amount of choice of different seafood plus oysters. Nice seafood stall. Later that evening we had the crab sandwich it was very tasty and well presented.

Me and Becky visited here and Becky had some prawns which were tasty and I treated myself to some whelks and they were gorgeous with some vinegar. The staff were lovely and the price very reasonable. I miss seafood at the seaside and this gave me my fix
