What is Seasmiths Fish + Chips?
We are a small Cornish business in the heart of Porthtowan, a fabulous coastal community in mid-Cornwall. We have kept things simple and produce well-sourced, well-cooked delicious fish and chips. Our menu reflects the best of what Cornwall, and our fish merchants, have to offer. You’ll find lightly battered and sustainably caught cod and haddock alongside local varieties that Cornish day boat fishermen have landed. All made even better with a selection of fresh sauces, made by us each day, and home-made pickles.
How did Seasmiths start?
We knew we wanted to open a fish and chip shop that specialised in doing just that, really well. An idea originally sparked by Jonathan, Elsie's father, we found the perfect place when the family moved to Porthtowan. This wonderful coastal community was where we would begin our Seasmiths adventure.
Elsie and Connor decided to return to Cornwall to create Seasmiths Fish + Chips. They run the business day-to-day with Jonathan and are proud to have established Seasmiths at the heart of this welcoming Cornish village.
From the beginning, we have sought to turn producing fish + chips into a craft. Seasmiths seemed a good description of what we wanted to do and to be recognised for.

When did we open?
We secured our little shop on Beach Road in 2019, giving it the love and attention it deserved. It was a real team effort, with both our families chipping in to make the transformation possible. We officially opened in March 2020 just days before the nationwide lockdown because of the Covid-19 crisis. We voluntarily closed the shop until we re-opened in May on a click-and-collect system to ensure the safety of our customers as well as ourselves.
We continue to be blown away by the warmth of the reception to Seasmiths Fish + Chips and love the fact that our community is growing. If you want to see what people are saying about us, have a look at our Facebook and Instagram pages.
