Stopped by ShrimpWreck in Portobello and it did not disappoint! I had the fish sarnie and the crab on fries, both were absolute 10/10! Fresh, flavourful, and packed with taste. Perfect spot by the beach for seriously good seafood

Delicious food, it's a small menu but everything is great! They have seating available but you can drop in pick your food and enjoy it on the beach. Located perfectly on the beach. It's a place for lunch or a snack, I was wishing the portion were larger but really liked the food.

Tried the shrimp buns here and they were absolutely amazing! The shrimp was perfectly tender and flavorful, and the buns were soft, moist, and steamed to perfection. Every bite was a delicious mix of texture and taste. Definitely a spot I’d come back to whenever I’m craving something fresh and satisfying!

I had the Lobster roll and it was amazing the service was fantastic. My wife had the shrimp bun and it was recommended to add the bacon jam and it was a taste sensation I can't wait to try all the rest of the menu. The food was so fresh and tasty. It's no wonder why the rating is so high. Absolute 5 stars*****
