Bob's Seafood - Shepway

Today on the sea food bar. my partner always brings me a few times a year. love eating. really nice, friendly lady. Thank you!

It's always a toss up between Bobs and Chummy! At the moment Bobs is leading in the number of visits. Good seafood and the prawn cocktail perfect for wedging into a roll or small baguette!

Food well presented but i asked for pints and was curtly informed they only sell in overpriced pots of and I purchased of whelks, jellied eels and a pot of brown shrimp. Also claimed to be freshly caught in their boat.. Perhaps...they were but this catch wasn't todays. Fresh whelks are mucusy and leave a snotty residue on your fingers and yield easily to the bite. These were freshly frozen and were over salted and chewy but just ok in flavour. Really overpriced in my opinion and will try elsewhere next time we visit from Ramsgate.

We have been here many times as they make wonderful crab sandwiches on both white and brown bread highly recommended!

After arriving at Folkestone for the day. Going to first fish stall, I politely asked the lady behind the counter if I could try a whelk. Low and behold she gave me a dirty look and said no unless that was her usual look)...she no you can’t I said sometimes there not tender, she said all mine our tender love. So rude we walked off . So we walked to chummys . Asked them the same question, with a reply of course you can . Atmosphere was lovely music food seats, Spent there and felt compelled on passing bobs and said to to the lady whilst holding my chummys takeaway you have lost for being rude. She shouted I don’t care, I said think you while holding bag up my pretty woman moment lol) As I walked off she came came flying out screaming at me like a fish wife lol. Lovely day out, never ever line that awful woman’s pockets .
