Sexy Fish Manchester

High-End Seafood and High Style in Spinningfields

Sexy Fish Manchester brings its signature splash of glamour to the heart of Spinningfields. Just a short walk from Manchester’s major music venues, this opulent seafood restaurant is known for its vibrant interiors, bold Asian-inspired dishes, and buzzing atmosphere. With dramatic decor—including a show-stopping fish tank and eye-catching art by Damien Hirst—this is a place where dining feels like an experience.

The menu focuses on premium seafood with a Japanese twist, featuring sushi, sashimi, robata-grilled dishes, and expertly crafted cocktails. It's a sister location to the original Sexy Fish in London, and it brings the same chic energy north.

Why Concert-goers love it

Sexy Fish is ideal for pre-show dining thanks to its central location—you're never far from a headline gig. The vibe is upbeat but not overwhelming, making it a great warm-up to an exciting night out. Service is swift and polished, so you can enjoy a full meal without worrying about missing the opening act. The bar is also a highlight, perfect for a quick pre-concert cocktail.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to start the night in style
• Solo travelers treating themselves before a big show
• Couples on a romantic night out with dinner and live music
• Fans who want a lively, photo-worthy setting to get the night going
• Budget-conscious music fans might want to stop by just for a drink or sushi platter

What People Say

According to guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable, Sexy Fish Manchester impresses with its jaw-dropping decor and flavour-packed dishes. Diners rave about the black cod, crispy duck salad, and sushi rolls. The cocktail menu gets high marks too, especially for presentation. Many note the lively but sophisticated atmosphere—ideal for a night out before or after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

While the ambience is a hit, some reviewers mention that prices are on the higher side, and it’s not always the best pick for a quiet, intimate meal. A few diners noted that the music can be loud—fun for some, but not ideal if you're looking to chat extensively before a show.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Manchester and want to kick off the night with flair, flavour, and fast service, Sexy Fish is a stylish, seafood-centric stop that delivers in both taste and atmosphere.
