The Gothic Crab - where Gothic Glam meets Brighton energy

Owned by three seasoned Brighton hospitality pros, all passionate about local fresh seafood, The Gothic Crab is a truly one-of-a-kind seafood restaurant in Brighton.
We're proud to serve luxurious seafood boils, fresh oysters and epic seafood platters, expertly cooked by Head Chef Al Studd and his brilliant team. Every dish is made with the finest locally and sustainably sourced seafood.
Inside our seafood restaurant, it's all dark walls, chandeliers, velvet and gold. It's stylish but never stuffy, cosy and full of character.
