Live Seafood Ltd

Live Seafood Ltd is a seafood restaurant and retail-style venue near Manchester City Stadium, built around live fish and shellfish selected from on-site tanks. The range includes lobster, green crab, spiny lobster, king crab, brown crab, clams, oysters, eels, turbot, crayfish and other seasonal or wild species. Availability can vary by season, with some items requiring advance confirmation.

The tank-to-table approach gives the venue a produce-led character. Seafood can be prepared as sashimi or cooked in Cantonese or Sichuan style, allowing the cooking approach to complement the chosen fish or shellfish. The menu also includes live freshwater species and a selection of clams, whelks and winkles, offering plenty of scope for diners who enjoy exploring different textures and varieties.

Alongside the seafood, Live Seafood Ltd imports exotic fruit and vegetables from around the world. These ingredients add to the venue’s specialist food-market feel, while the private rooms provide a more contained setting for dine-in occasions. The venue accepts both cash and card payments, and free parking is available on site.

Live Seafood Ltd suits diners looking for live seafood prepared to order, especially those interested in Cantonese or Sichuan flavours rather than a conventional fish-and-chips format. It can also appeal to seafood enthusiasts seeking less familiar ingredients, including Canadian geoduck clam, wild razor clam when in season, and different varieties of crab, lobster and oyster. Seasonal availability makes advance contact useful when a particular species is the main reason for a visit.
