Fish and seafood are the whole point here, and it's the kind of place where the cooking is simple and done properly rather than fussy — grilled sea bass with a jacket potato and peas, mussels, calamari, oysters, and a seafood platter that gets people genuinely excited about the scallops and garlic butter. Portions are generous and the pricing sits below what you'd expect for central Brighton, which helps when you're feeding a few. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and outdoor seating for warmer days when a restless toddler needs air. The staff are warm and quick without hovering — plates cleared, food out at a good pace — and the room stays relaxed rather than raucous. It's a small spot with a big reputation, so book ahead, especially at weekends.
