is best described as a very posh chip shop.
All fish is freshly cooked but the range on offer goes far beyond your usual
Cod and Haddock. choice is seasonal but when I visited last week there were
other choices such as Red Snapper, fresh Tuna steak and John Dory which
apparently is not the remains of the next door neighbour fried up in a pan!
Cod and Haddock are cooked in batter but the rest of the fish is generally
grilled. You will probably pay between £7 and £10 for fish and chips which
is not cheap but I found the quality astoundingly good. The Red Snapper was
cooked to perfection with no bones and the chips were crispy, fresh and not
greasy. OK so these chips were cooked in vegetable oil. everyone knows
that chips from a chip shop should really be cooked in dripping but for
upper class radio 4 chips these were not half bad!
Staff were attentive and friendly. the person who served me was happy to go
through the menu. There was even fresh ground coffee available! There was
no curry sauce or gravy available which is a bit of a shame!
There is a website available at
http://www.theseacow.co.uk
this is flash based but it will at least give you an idea of the choices
available on the menu.
Over all then the food was great and really very fresh. staff were helpful
and I would say this place is well worth a visit. You can eat in or take
food away though eating in is recommended because of the freshness. I give
the sea cow 8.5 out of 10.

Can thorough agree with everything you've said. I had Dover Sole there about three years ago and a very decent plate of food it turned out to be. But as you say, not your average chippy.
