Fodor's Expert Review White's Seafood & Steak Bar

Great seafood in simple, unpretentious surroundings is the order of the day at this popular place in Hastings Old Town. Fresh-as-can-be seafood, huge platters of shellfish, creamy fish pies, and delicious plates of fish-and-chips are the epitome of unfussy local flavor. If you're after something meatier, this place has a unique way of serving its steak—it arrives blue (just lightly seared and unadorned) together with a hot rock on which you can cook it the rest of the way to your liking. The process, popular across the water in France, supposedly seals in more moisture.
