This seafood shop is absolutely unparalleled! I highly recommend their seafood platter(seafood selection) and whelk meat, which are definitely the highlights here. The seafood platter is fresh and plentiful, and the whelk meat is tender and juicy. The owner is very friendly and the décor of the shop is also beautiful, simple yet cosy. This place is a perfect choice If you come to Portsmouth. Highly recommended! Five stars!- Meal type

If you are looking for some authentic and delicious seafood, this is the place! And the owner is the nicest person you could meet. We enjoyed fantastic eels, whelks and prawns and we learnt all about the food too. A must-visit if you're in Portsmouth.

Hi, I hope the owner reads this. I ordered jellied eels and I love it so much! The whelks are perfect, the cockles are good too, but they're a bit sandy haha. I wanted to tell him in person but the shop closed shortly after I enjoyed the seafood I bought. Anyways, 10/10 reasonable price, fresh food, and the owner is sooo nice!

Exceptionally good service, what a kind man, very friendly, gave us a little bit extra seafood, some sweets, recommended sauces to go with food and, oh, “fill them up right to the top!” :D Very good, I recommend getting the seafood mix.
Absolutely lovely - so fresh and 10/10 friendly service. Must visit for good cheap seafood!!
We ordered baby octopus and whelka. Amazing fresh seafood! Lovely owner! Highly recommended!
Best seafood we ever had, lovely place and people. I can definitely say Hartgills made our trip to Portsmouth more meaningful and memorable. Definitely a hidden gem!

Great fun place for a wonderful selection of traditional British seafood (cockles and whelks) as well as baby Octopus in a delicious sweet vinegar sauce (maybe not for the faint-hearted)! Memories of whelks on a cocktail stick on childhood beach holidays. Really friendly & generous service in a traditional cockle stall - benches just beside with views over the harbour & the sea in your hair. Huge selection of teas, coffee or hot Bovril to warm you against the sea breeze too.- Meal type

Absolutely fantastic. Was here this afternoon, large seafood selection and small octopus, both very incredibly large portions and tasted incredible. The owner was amazing, extremely friendly and made us and our children feel most welcome and threw in a few cruly wurlys which our children loved
The best seafood booth ever been, very professional service. Good quality of food.
Was looking for some fresh seafood on my visit to Portsmouth, found this place and wasn’t disappointed. Lovely seafood, great portion, great service from the very friendly owner, and I enjoyed the seaside decorations and theming around the shopfront. Highly reccomended.
