YO! Belfast Victoria Square seriously delivers on the fresh sushi front. Make your way over to this colourful hotspot and dive into Japanese eats; think beautifully pink slices of salmon sashimi, crunchy prawn rolls and spicy seafood ramen.
Fish City serves up award-winning local and sustainable fare. So, if you keep searching for 'the best seafood restaurant near me', then you're in luck. Alongside fish and chips, you can find freshly shucked oysters and a medley of seasonal specials.
Cool, stylish and perfect for date nights, Howard Street is the city centre dining destination that knows a thing or two about top-tier seafood. On the menu? Crab linguine, seared scallops and, the pièce de résistance, smoked cod accompanied by fondant potatoes and prawn madras.
Bringing a slice of Spain to a casual dining environment, EDO is one of the best seafood restaurants in Belfast city centre. Plus, as a whole section of the menu is dedicated to fresh fish, you know you're in good hands. Get ready for ceviche, salt-baked seabream and mussels with chorizo.
Held in high regard by locals and tourists alike, Mourne Seafood Bar in Belfast flaunts trendy bare-brick walls and vintage light fixtures, not to mention a mouthwatering menu. Get your smackers around dishes like butter-roasted hake or curried monkfish, paired with beers, cocktails or wine.
Tetto is the pretty rooftop plot that also might just be the best lobster restaurant in Belfast city centre. Swing by the cool space to tuck into the luxurious crustacean doused in 'nduja butter or chow down on other fruits de la mer, including king scallops and grilled seabass.
Though you may know it better for its sumptuous steak offering, Stix and Stones might also be the best seafood restaurant in Belfast city centre. Kick-start with Dundrum mussels or crab toast, then finish off by chomping on a juicy slab of tuna, seared to your liking at the table.
