10 Best restaurants for Seafood in Manchester

Mamas Soul Food

It was not easy to locate because there's no outdoor signage. Someone inside saw us looking lost and came to bring us in, she was a customer too.
The food was good, although we didnt get to eat much. The taste was perfect, I loved the spiciness.
The environment was not best though and the wait time for the food? You're gonna wait.

But it's an experience you'll love if seafood boil is your thing. The guy that attended to us was also very helpful while doing his work.

It's definitely something you'll like. Not to forget, the portions were amazing too.

Staff were very friendly and helpful , the food was on time like shown in the app and it was so good. Definitely try the XXL seafood boil worth the money.
Will definitely be ordering again!

Folu attended to us, he’s very friendly and professional. He was checking to know if we are okay. The sitting area was a little dirty but the food is 100% yummy. I highly recommend. Value for money. We bought the XL and we couldn’t finish it.

Tried it recently and honestly the food was so good! Full of flavour, generous portions, and you can tell it’s all made with love. Proper comfort food that hits the spot, I’ll definitely be going back again. Highly recommend if you want real soul food in Manchester! Kavyen was such an amazing server she was lovely!

I have wanted a seafood boil for over a year and came from Devon to have mamas soul food seafood boil. It was everything and more than I imagined !!! The best birthday present ever. Great friendly service and so helpful with anything needed. Communal seating area was clean and tidy. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🦞

Crabbish Manchester

Omar, Hassan and the team were so welcoming and friendly. Have been wanting to come here for ages and glad we made the trip. The food was delicious and it was a fun concept. Will definitely be coming back!

We had a wonderful experience! Leila Hassan was an amazing waitress – really polite and attentive, and she took the time to walk us through the bill clearly. The atmosphere was fantastic and we loved the overall vibe. The food was great as well; the sauce carried a bit more of the flavor, but everything came together nicely. We’ll definitely be coming back again. Thank you, Leila – you were fantastic!

I am so glad that me and my friends decided to come here on our day trip. We were met by the lovely Leila and Hassan who directed us to our table.The atmosphere was great and the staff even better. We then ordered and it was a flawless process from ordering to receiving our food. Omar had given us a performance of a lifetime when dishing the seafood boil out, one to remember!! I absolutely love it here and it is most definitely my second home. As u can see by the picture it was finger  licking gooooooood you will most definitely be seeing us as your Irish locals everyone once in a while. Thank you so much to all your amazing staff and the kitchen staff who made this experience and the food worth while. Lots of love from Ireland Joy, Justine, Aira and Kerry 🤍

3rd time coming! Finally had lobster tails in stock!
Staff are brilliant, knew we needed more napkins before I even got a chance to ask! Super friendly !
Would recommend for a seafood lover!

We were served by Omar and Jen who made sure we had enough napkins and a change of gloves when needed.
The food was excellent, some of the muscles did not open but they were immediately exchanged. Omar helped us make a helpful dam to keep the sauce of the boil at bay and help keep our clothes clean. Wonderful people and unexpected rock music soundtrack!

Jimmy’s Killer Prawns

Absolutely amazing as always! I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve visited Jimmy's Killer Prawns, and it never disappoints. Each visit is a delightful culinary experience that leaves us eager for more. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a casual dinner or a fun night out.

Since our last visit, they've added an exciting array of new extras to the menu, which has truly elevated the dining experience. I must say, my new favorite is the loaded fries—one portion is definitely not enough! They’re perfectly seasoned and topped with mouthwatering ingredients that truly take them to the next level.

The staff is always friendly and attentive, ensuring that we feel right at home. Keep up the exceptional work, Team Jimmy's! We can’t wait for our next visit to indulge in more delicious dishes. Highly recommended! 👏👏

Place was busy, we got seated after a 5 mins wait. Service and atmosphere were great, no complaints there.

Bad: Got the Mongolian beef sizzler. Disgusting. Waaaaay too much soy sauce which made it very bitter. Avoid this dish.

Good: The rice it came with were nice.
The a creamy mushroom pasta dish was tasty, as were the dynamite prawns and loaded fries. The prawn platter was grilled well but the marinade just doesn't get through to the prawns, once the shell is removed the prawns are too plain, choose the next spice level up from what you think you can handle because I ordered the Extra spicy but it was like Medium. The trio of sauces were tasty.

The ambiance was great, lovely music was played all through our stay. The service was top notch, our arrived almost immediately after we made our order. 10/10, would definitely recommend.

This place is quite cool. After seeing my friends go there several times I thought it must be amazing.  The calamari starter is lovely, however the prawns for me had a weird texture.  It may just be me or may have been an odd batch! Cool flavours.

My recent visit to Jimmy’s Killer Prawns, Manchester exceeded every expectation. I ordered the Platter for Two—36 prawns, Extra Spicy—and wow, what a experience. Each prawn packed serious heat and flavour—mouth-watering doesn’t even begin to cover it. The quality, freshness, and portion sizes also come highly recommended .

Even during busy hours, the service doesn’t falter. The prawns were an indulgent, spicy, flavour-packed highlight.

Verdict: If you want bold-flavoured, generously portioned prawns with strong service, Jimmy’s delivers. Just pack your appetite—and maybe something to cool things down afterward.

Soul & Surf Mcr

My husband and I visited today for the first time and had an absolutely incredible experience! We both ordered the Surf Box with lobster tail and king prawns — the food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. The service was friendly and the atmosphere really welcoming. Can’t wait to go back!

Place looks lovely and cozy. Really enjoyed the food here, so tasty and very good amount for the price! Would Highly recommend!

We travelled to Manchester for a day out and decided to eat at Soul and turf. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. The Mac and cheese was delicious, the gizzard and Dodo were soft spicy sweet. The meat and seafood was tender and seasoned well. The jollof Rice was okay but better with the pepper sauce. The only thing that let it down was the drinks on the menu were limited for example they Didn’t have zobo. But due to everything else, I would definitely be back.

Bit of mixed feelings here. I really wanted to enjoy this place but had a strange experience. Prawns were absolutely delicious, Mac and cheese was okay, chicken wings and plantain were served stone cold…. The wings could have been delicious too!!
Staff weren’t too happy to see people… was hoping for a bit of soul but I felt a bit of a hindrance being there.

Honestly not impressed, when we walked in, the staff were not happy to see us, we were seated and waiting for 10-15 mins for someone to take our order. When we went to the till we tried telling the staff we were ready but she couldn’t hear us as she had earphones in, when she finally saw us, she put a finger up signalling “1 minute” we waiting until another member of staff came (another 10 mins) and that member of staff saw we were waiting and continued filling containers with salad and ignoring us.  Deffo not coming again. we drove 2 hours for this place and wasted time and petrol.

Soul & Surf

Atlantic Fish bar

This is the best fish & chips (with curry sauce) I've had in a long time! Great value for money with the 'special' deal. Sat in to eat it and the staff were friendly. Will definitely be back and would 100% recommend.

Great portion and and price. Food is definitely chippy standard.
Grease leaked through the paper and cardboard box onto the table though. Also they gave us 1 fork for 4 meals.

Fresh, quality fish and chips! We come here regularly and it's consistently good. Staff are polite and accommodating. Big thanks to Abdullah for the great service on this order.

So it was very cheap. Too cheap in many ways when to compare it to what you pay where I am from in the south. Half the price. The quality of the chips was good but the fish had no taste and the battery was thick. Very acceptable but no wow factor.

We arrived 25 minutes late and the food was still hot which was great! The lady who served us was lovely too. The chips were chippy chips but a little bit stale. The fish and battered sausage however were the worst I have ever tasted. The sausage was clearly a poor quality meat, and was drier than the Sahara. The fish was 70% batter, tiny and had a sour taste. If you’re looking for an authentic chippy then please avoid. My heart goes out to all of those who were duped by the 4.8 rating like we were.
