Manchester, Fish & Seafood Restaurant Guide

“The landlord is the chef and he knows how to cook fish, which he sources from the best suppliers”, say regulars at this unusual and “delightful” Peak District village pub which is “supported by the community” – having bought the freehold 20 years ago when the venue faced closure. “Good ales” completes the picture.

Feedback is limited and mixed on Richard Caring’s ostentatious newcomer, at the gateway to Spinningfields in a unit that was previously Armani Emporium – now filled with fish tanks, ocean-themed murals and with plenty of sea-nymphs and mermaids. It’s a somewhat less expensive version of the Mayfair original, but menu-wise cut from the same cloth of pricey sushi, fish and seafood, often with a pan-Asian twist. Not one for foodies, but if you’ve money to burn and need more content for your Insta it’s not (yet) past the sell-by for an expensive selfie.
