What it's like
The Sandbar Seafood Shack is the Chester Market seafood stall for fish and chips, shellfish-style plates and casual market meals at Exchange Square.
Seafood counter in Chester Market
The Sandbar Seafood Shack is the seafood option inside Chester Market: counter ordering, shared market seating and a menu that points towards fish and chips, seafood plates and shellfish rather than another burger stop.
That makes it useful when a group is already using the market and one person wants seafood without dragging everyone into a separate restaurant booking.
Worth knowing
Sandbar is a useful specialist stall, not a full restaurant. The appeal is seafood in the middle of a flexible market plan. The caveat is the same as the rest of the market: noise, seating and trader hours need a bit of real-world patience.
