Welcome To Mortehoe Shellfish
About Us
Mortehoe Shellfish is situated along North Morte Road in the charming village of Mortehoe. We have run our small family business since the early seventies and spawn from a long line of fishing folk. Treasured son (Geoff) skippers our boat "Walrus" with his trusty sidekick "Chopper" Between them they supply most of the fare brought to your table. The head of the shoal (Julie) attempts the thinking, planning, decision making and organisation, which has absolutely no affect on the tiddlers (precious daughters) who frolic around most of the day. They help with the cleaning, preparation, serving, waiting, washing up and all things mechanical and motorised. Apart from their mischievous ways and happy go lucky manner they do try to please and are reasonable pleasant to work with. They are extremely good natured but have been known for their rugby tackling and knee capping to non payers. I should point out however that this honest appraisel of ourselves does not detract from the fact we have been rated one of the best seafood places in the country(Jan Moir Daily Telegraph) There may also have featured the words 'eccentric' and 'most' in the article! Against all odds you will get the best attention we are able to give you.
