Quick info
About Davies Fish Shop
Davies Fish Shop on Garden Street in Cromer operates as a walk-in fish counter and small seafood restaurant, with the dressed crab as its centrepiece. The counter spreads across whole crabs alongside cockles and shrimps, and the team puts together plates of fresh fish and seafood for diners on site. The shop sits a short walk from the seafront, and the counter is laid out so customers can pick what they want and ask for it to be dressed, cooked or packed to take away. The staff hand over a bag of ice with purchases to keep fish and shellfish cold on the journey home, and cash is the accepted form of payment. A few seats are set aside for anyone who wants to eat their crab or seafood straight from the counter, with the rest of the stock sold over the same hatch to people heading home or to nearby cottages.

“Bought 2 whole crabs and accepted offer of bag of ice as I was returning to Norwich. Have not been offered that before. Excellent service. Crabs were tasty, although being from Yorkshire, I have to say Whitby offerings are tastier, there's a whole other debate.”

“Excellent selection of fresh fish. I arrived to find there was no crab, but they were preparing a new batch - 5mins later and I had two delicious dressed crabs. Generous amounts of crab meat. Loads of other seafood that looked super fresh too. A delight to have such a shop selling such fresh seafood”
