Seafood

Portsmouth’s status as the UK’s only island city means we can also lay claim to having some of the best seafood in the country! For variety and freshness you’ll struggle to find better – especially if you know where to look.

Our fish markets are the place to go for the catch of the day, where boats come in early every morning to offload their haul. It’s worth a visit, to see the sheer variety on offer, and you’ll struggle to find fresher.

If you’d rather leave the cooking to somebody else, why not head to one of the city’s restaurants? As well as dedicated seafood eateries, a number of them are renowned for their fish – as part of their wider menu. If you choose to grab a bite to eat overlooking the water in Old Portsmouth, you may even spot the boats that brought in your fresh catch.
