Crab Shell
(1 Raleigh St; sandwiches £4; 10.30am-2.30pm Apr-Dec)
The shellfish in the sarnies made here has
been landed on the quay a few steps away, and much of the fish has been smoked locally.
Opt to fill your bread with mackerel and horseradish mayo, kiln roast salmon with dill, or
classic, delicious Dartmouth crab.

Oct)
It's hard to know what's best: the view or the food. Tucked away in the village of Dit-

boarding and a chilled soundtrack lend this award-winning fish and chip shop the air of a
boho boathouse. The menu is a cut above your average chippy; along with cod and had-
dock there's also monkfish, local calamari, oysters and good wine. Eat in (enjoy the atmo-
sphere) or take away (fight the seagulls).
