Catch & Grill

If you're craving fresh, seasonal seafood in Brighton, Catch & Grill in Hove is the place to go. Specialising in charcoal-grilled seafood, the restaurant offers a menu filled with delights like beer-battered fish and chips and pan-fried bass with shrimp.

For something unique, try their salmon katsu curry with Japanese mild curry sauce. Located in the heart of Church Road, Catch & Grill is your perfect destination for a seafood feast that combines freshness and flavour in every bite.

Burnt Orange Brighton

A relaxed restaurant bar that's located in the Kings Road Arches, Burnt Orange is a welcoming space for all-day drinks and dining. The interior features simple white walls and lots of foliage, as well as a striking bar in the centre, and there's a covered outdoor terrace that's ideal for summer.

Their menu is designed to be shared, made up of small plates and larger wood-fired dishes. There's plenty of seafood to get stuck into, from butterfly sardines to flamed sea bream and crayfish kofta.

The Urchin

A truly unique pub style in Brighton, The Urchin is a celebration of beer and shellfish, with locally caught seafood paired with over 100 craft beers. When you're not praising the knowledgeable staff? You're gushing over a menu with international but simple influences.

Circo

Head to Preston Road if you're after an Asian twist on your seafood. Starting life as a pop-up, this northern spot specialises in sharing tapas; stand out dishes include octopus tentacle cooked in red wine and tuna tartare.

Riddle & Finns

It wouldn't be possible to list Brighton's best seafood restaurants without including Riddle and Finns, the oyster and Champagne specialists. The restaurant only has space for 40 but this makes it all the more special; perch by a marble table topped with candelabras and prepare to have all your seafood dreams come true.
