The Scallop Shell
Bath, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
The Scallop Shell takes the chip shop as its starting point and then keeps going: haddock and proper chips at one end of the menu, lobster thermidor and fish pie at the other. Sourcing runs to boats working the South West coast, so the board moves with what has landed rather than staying fixed. It sits on Monmouth Place, a few minutes' walk from the centre of Bath, and handles both a quick supper and a full sit-down meal, with mains around £24. The Friday-night fish habit is well established among people who live nearby.
