I went to an affordable seafood restaurant where I was surprised

The restaurant has a selection of affordable menu items

Shrimp Shack is a seafood restaurant, with branches in London’s Streatham and Camden, where they have launched a new lunch and savers menu. I headed down to the Camden branch to try out a selection of the items.

Here’s how I got on. I decided to go for the new Shack Savers Selection, which comprises a selection of mains, accompanied by a choice of two sides and a sauce. I went for two lobster tails, with lemon butter and two sides of a garden salad and mac and cheese.

The cod was flakey and cooked brilliantly

This came to £44, which may seem like a lot, but it serves as a generous portion and is cooked well. The lobster tails were still pink and cooked to perfection. Meanwhile, the mac and cheese was heavenly and a comforting treat, perfect for the miserable weather we have been experiencing.

My partner opted for the cod fillet (£22) after fancying fish and chips for quite some time. The cod was a decent size especially as he had sides of fries and corn on the cob. Even he struggled to finish the main course but said that the fish was a delight and flaked apart.

Other options on the Shack Savers Selection include:

Lobster £45 24oz

Mussels £17

Naked shrimps £22

Salmon £19

Seabass £18

Calamari £17

Chicken thighs £17

Rump steak £18 8oz, £21 12oz

For those who don't fancy fish can opt for the burger

I also tried a selection of starters including calamari crave (£8), which was delicious and coated in salt and pepper crumb, say cheese garlic bread (£7) which pretty much did what it said on the tin and another great comfort food. Finally, I also tried the zingy salt and pepper shrimps (£9), which were tempura-battered prawns with a sweet chilli sauce.

Meanwhile, for those who are after a lunchtime treat, Shrimp Shack’s menu offers a midday steal at just £10, where customers can choose from the likes of a Shrimp Rich Po’ Boy (which is grilled shrimp, iceberg lettuce, and mayo served in a toasted brioche bun with fries and a garlic dripping burger) or a smash burger for those not feeling the shrimp.
