Best Fish and Chips in Mevagissey: Where to Go

2026-10-15·Mevagissey

Short answer: For fish and chips in Mevagissey, the Fish Grill & More van on Jetty Street cooks fish to order (get the trio with scallops; closed Sundays), the Fishermen's Chippy on Olivers Quay is the traditional harbourside chippy, and Ben's Plaice on Market Square is the one for gluten-free. For something different, the Harbour Catch does lobster wraps and scallops on the harbour wall.

The Fish Grill & More, Jetty Street

A street-food van that fries or grills fish to order. Reviewers call it the best fish and chips they've had in Cornwall; the trio of fish, with scallops, is the order. It's not fast, because it's cooked fresh. Closed Sundays.

The Fishermen's Chippy, Olivers Quay

The traditional harbourside chippy: flaky cod, crisp chips and homemade tartare sauce. Take it to a bench on the quay and keep an eye on the gulls.

Ben's Plaice, Market Square

A fish and chip shop where much of the menu is gluten-free, which makes it the one for coeliacs. Also loaded fries.

Seafood on the harbour wall: the Harbour Catch

Not a chippy, but a seafood hut on the East Wharf doing lobster wraps, scallops, mackerel and hake, with views over the boats.

Where to eat it

The quay benches, or the harbour wall. The gulls here are experienced: eat with your back to a wall.
