Welcome to Fish City, Belfast's premier destination for fresh, sustainable seafood where tradition meets innovation!
In this video, we sit down with John Lavery, owner of Fish City, to uncover the journey behind this award-winning seafood restaurant located in the heart of Belfast. John, along with his team, has transformed the fish and chip experience into something truly special by blending it with a modern seafood dining concept.
John shares how Fish City began during the last recession, driven by a desire to innovate within an industry that hadn’t changed much in decades. “Fish and chips are iconic, but we wanted to add something new – a modern seafood twist,” John explains. From their humble beginnings in Ballynahinch to the thriving hub in Belfast, Fish City has become synonymous with exceptional quality and creativity.
What makes Fish City unique? It’s all about their commitment to sustainability and innovation. The menu, curated by Head Chef Nick Clough, celebrates the best of fresh, locally-sourced seafood while drawing inspiration from global cuisines. Classic fish and chips sit alongside dishes like pan-seared seabass, fresh mussels, and seasonal seafood specials. Nick explains, “Our menu evolves constantly, incorporating seasonal ingredients and fresh ideas while staying true to our roots in classic cooking.”
Fish City isn’t just about the food – it’s an experience. The restaurant boasts four distinct dining areas: the outdoor terrace, the cosy ground floor, the charming second-floor “Hut,” and the warm, intimate “Cabin.” “Each space offers a different vibe, so you can visit multiple times and always have a new experience,” John says.
Sustainability is at the core of Fish City’s mission. The team works hard to ensure every dish is environmentally conscious, earning them numerous accolades, including awards for their sustainable practices. “It’s about giving back to the community and protecting our oceans for future generations,” John adds.
Looking ahead, Fish City plans to continue innovating, with seasonal specials and a focus on elevating the seafood dining experience in Belfast. Watch the full video to discover their inspiring journey and see why Fish City is a must-visit for seafood lovers!
