Fodor's Expert Review Magpie Café

$$ Whitby Seafood Fodor's Choice

Seafood is the draw here, and the long menu includes freshly caught Whitby crab, salmon, haddock, halibut, cod, and lobster—plus Lindisfarne oysters—but the crowds come for the outstanding traditional fish-and-chips. The food is good, and fans say it's worth the wait, which can stretch to an hour on busy nights. A good value set menu offers lots of choices.
