Inspector comments
"The very best fresh fish and seafood in a relaxed setting."
Overview
The Scallop Shell is a friendly, informal and very popular restaurant and grill not far from Queen Square, serving a great range of fish and seafood dishes. A good place to find classics served well. The eponymous scallops come from the Orkney Islands, and top quality fish makes the cod and chips memorable.

About the area
Somerset remains rural and unspoiled, and ever popular areas to visit are the limestone and red sandstone Mendip Hills rising to over 1,000 feet, and by complete contrast, to the south and southwest, the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels. Another popular spot, the Quantocks, once the haunt of poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, are noted for their gentle slopes, heather-covered moorland expanses and red deer
