Brighton Seafood: Fresh from the English Channel
There are few better places in England to eat fresh seafood than Brighton. With working fishing boats still launching from the beach and a tradition of fresh fish sales stretching back centuries, Brighton’s seafood scene is authentic, sustainable, and absolutely delicious. From traditional fish and chips to upscale fine dining with locally caught lobster and oysters, the city’s seafood offer is world-class.
Brighton’s Fishing Heritage
Brighton has a proud fishing heritage that continues to this day. Small fishing boats operate from the beach near the Palace Pier, and fresh catch is available to buy directly from the boats and at local fish stalls. Mackerel, bass, plaice, and lobster are among the species regularly landed on Brighton’s beach.
Best Fish and Chip Shops
No visit to Brighton is complete without fish and chips. The city has several excellent fish and chip shops using fresh, sustainable fish cooked to order. Eating a portion of fish and chips on Brighton’s seafront, watching the sea and the pier, is one of life’s simple pleasures.
Fine Dining Seafood Restaurants
Brighton’s fine dining seafood restaurants showcase the very best of the English Channel’s harvest. Oysters, lobster, scallops, crab, and native fish species are prepared with skill and creativity by some of Brighton’s most talented chefs. These are restaurants worth travelling for.
Casual Seafood Dining
Between the fish and chip shop and the fine dining restaurant, Brighton has excellent casual seafood options including seafood shacks on the beach, harbourside restaurants at the Marina, and neighbourhood bistros with fresh fish menus changing daily with the catch.
