Tucked away in the charming streets of Hove, The Little Fish Market offers a culinary journey that is both refined and refreshingly simple. The Little Fish Market Menu is a masterclass in restraint and elegance, built around a carefully curated five-course tasting experience that evolves with the seasons. This isn’t your typical seafood restaurant-it’s a destination for discerning diners who appreciate the artistry of modern British cuisine, with a singular focus on the finest, locally sourced fish and shellfish.
Chef Duncan Ray, the sole creative force in the kitchen, crafts each plate with precision. The menu is ever-changing, but recent highlights include a delicate dish of raw hand-dived scallops served with sea herbs and pickled cucumber-a standout for its balance of freshness and acidity. The turbot, often a centerpiece, is typically poached to perfection and paired with inventive accompaniments like smoked eel broth or charred leeks, adding depth without overpowering the natural flavor of the fish.
What sets The Little Fish Market apart is its unwavering commitment to quality over quantity. Unlike competitors that offer extensive à la carte options, this menu narrows the focus, ensuring that every dish is honed to near perfection. Portions are modest, allowing guests to appreciate the progression of flavors without feeling overwhelmed.
The ambiance-intimate, candlelit, and unpretentious-complements the dining experience, placing full emphasis on the food. Service is discreet yet deeply knowledgeable, a reflection of the restaurant’s Michelin recognition and numerous local accolades.
For seafood enthusiasts or anyone seeking a refined, memorable evening in Brighton and Hove, The Little Fish Market Menu is a standout. It's a place where culinary technique meets storytelling, and each course feels like a chapter worth savoring.
