Magic muffin in Manchester

Great Chip Shop, Shame he isn't open later as it's often a rush on the way home from work.

It was a shock. I visited there on my first trip to the UK, and all the dishes were brown and fried. No matter what you order, it looks the same. I think people who like junk food will love it. Adding vinegar makes it refreshing and easier to eat.

My absolute favourite seafood spot in all of Manchester. We’ve been coming here — and previously to the one in Sale (sadly now closed) — for years, and I can’t believe I haven’t written a review until now. It’s simply perfect every time. Whenever I’m in the mood for seafood, I know I’ll leave Oystercatcher happy and satisfied — it’s consistently impressive and reliable. My usual go-to is the seafood platter: a generous serving featuring a perfectly cooked whole sea bream that’s always fall-apart tender, juicy, and packed with flavour. The prawns are my personal highlight — incredibly meaty, rich, and delicious. You also get crispy calamari, plump mussels, charred hispi cabbage, tenderstem broccoli, and a selection of sauces for dipping — each one complementing the seafood beautifully. The oysters are a must-order. They’re always large, fresh, and served with a classic mignonette sauce and a bottle of Tabasco for that extra kick. The perfect opener to any meal here. I’ve also had the pleasure of trying the fish and chips — an ideal lunch that doesn’t leave you feeling heavy. The batter is crisp and golden without being oily, the chips are chunky and well-seasoned, and the fish is soft and flaky inside. A proper portion too — I was gutted I couldn’t finish it. The crab ravioli are rich and satisfying, with a bold tomato sauce that doesn’t overpower the delicate seafood filling. A great option if you’re in the mood for something warming and comforting. And the service? Always spot-on. The team are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and strike the perfect balance of professionalism and personality. There’s always great banter, they’re quick to take orders, attentive throughout, and the food always arrives hot and promptly. It’s clear they care just as much about the experience as they do about the food. Can’t recommend this place enough — it’s a true gem.

Si quieres probar comida de gran calidad en un entorno sin pretensiones, este es el lugar para ir. Ingredientes locales y de temporada con personal amable para guiarlo a través del menú. Ya recomendado a los amigos que visitarán Manchester pronto.

我们观顾的是nottingham 的分店，每次去都吃的很开心，很好的环境与气氛，daniel和ABDUALLA以及其他人服务都很好，食物品质也不错，他们的蒜容酱汁是我的最爱，总之对于爱吃海鲜的我来说有这样的歺厅在我们附近是很幸运的事。
