When it comes to seafood in Whitby, there are plenty of places to choose from, but The Fisherman’s Wife is one we find ourselves recommending time and time again. Found sitting right on Whitby’s West Cliff, just a few moments from the beach, this popular restaurant combines fresh local seafood with stunning sea views and a welcoming atmosphere.

Why we love The Fisherman’s Wife

One of the first things you notice when you step inside is the dining area’s large windows overlooking the coast, creating the perfect backdrop as you enjoy your meal. Seafood lovers are particularly well catered for here. The menu features everything from Lindisfarne oysters served on ice and moules marinière made with fresh Shetland mussels to whole lobster and generous seafood platters piled high with crab, prawns, salmon, mackerel, and more. It’s the sort of place where you can enjoy a simple fish supper or make an occasion of it with one of their signature seafood feasts.
The location is another major plus. Positioned on Whitby’s seafront, it’s the perfect place to visit after a walk along the beach or while exploring the West Cliff area. On a clear day, the views across the bay are simply fantastic.
