Live Seafood

Live Seafood is a wholesale importer and exporter of fish and seafood that also offers an Asian-inspired dining area where you can sit down and enjoy freshly caught and prepared delicacies from the sea.

Located within walking distance of Etihad Stadium, Live Seafood occupies a vintage red-bricked building on Ashton Old Road and is conveniently accessible by both public transport and car. The venue houses no fewer than one dozen tanks filled with live seafood from all over the world. You can buy Canadian lobsters of various sizes, wild green crabs from Greece, wild geoduck clams, crayfish, eels, oysters, turbot, carp, and other live wild fish here – in short, everything you need for an oceanic feast that would make Neptune green to the gills. In addition, Live Seafood imports exotic fruits and vegetables from around the globe, including durian, lychee, bak choi, bamboo, and more, with the offerings changing seasonally.

If preparing all these delicacies yourself seems like too much work, Live Seafood in Manchester also doubles as a restaurant. The fresh seafood available at market price is definitely a menu highlight – you can even point to the specimen you want in the tank, tell the staff how to prepare, and sit back and enjoy your meal when it arrives. If you aren't feeling fishy, there's a range of Chinese specialities such as stir-fries and hot pots to choose from as well. The food is served in Live Seafood's bustling dining area, but there's also a private dining room for a more formal experience, including business lunches.
