About The Rock & Scallop

The Rock & Scallop started as lockdown seafood pop-ups across South Wales — the last one at The Golden Cups in Southerndown — and now runs a permanent counter inside Swansea's Albert Hall food hall on Cradock Street. The seafood boil is the main event: lobster tail, snow crab, wild XXXL king prawns, half-shell king scallops, mussels, spicy sausage, corn and baby potatoes in signature garlic, Louisiana cajun or firecracker butter. Weekday lunch boils start at £17 until 5pm. Scallops are the house speciality, and there are sharing platters and surf & turf too. About 80% of the menu is gluten-free, halal and dietary needs are catered for, the venue is dog-friendly and there's no need to book. A second counter opened at Newport Market in June 2026.

Three butters, one decision

Every boil comes in signature garlic, Louisiana cajun or firecracker. Regulars keep telling us firecracker.

Scallops are in the name

Half-shell XL king scallops turn up on the boils, the mixed grill and on their own with chorizo, black pudding and chilli jam.

Two food halls, same menu
