Top 5 Pescatarian-Friendly Restaurants in Birmingham

1. Seafood City, Birmingham City Centre

Public Rating: 4.7/5
Price Range: ££–£££ – Approx. £20–£50+ per person
Pescafit Overall Mark: 9.1/10
Best For: Seafood boils, prawns, lobster and sharing meals
Location: Arcadian Centre, Birmingham City Centre

Seafood City is one of Birmingham’s most obvious choices for pescatarians who want a proper seafood meal. It describes itself as Birmingham’s original Louisiana seafood boil, with lobster, snow crab, king prawns and seafood platters on the menu. Its own website lists a 4.7-star Google rating from 840 reviews, along with seafood options ranging from smaller platters around £19.95 to larger sharing feasts over £170.

This is a strong Pescafit option because the meal is built around seafood rather than just offering one or two fish dishes. It is bold, social and ideal if you enjoy prawns, crab, mussels, lobster-style dishes and big flavours.

Why Pescafit Likes It

Seafood City is a proper seafood experience. It is not the lightest option on the list, but it gives pescatarians plenty of choice and works well for groups, birthdays or a weekend meal out.

What To Look For

Go for king prawns, mussels, crab, lobster-style options or seafood platters. To keep it balanced, choose grilled or boiled seafood where possible and add lighter sides rather than going too heavy on fried extras.

2. Satori, Moseley

Public Rating: 4.9/5
Price Range: ££££ – Approx. £60–£100+ per person
Pescafit Overall Mark: 9.0/10
Best For: Sushi, sashimi, Japanese dining and special occasions
Location: St Mary’s Row, Wake Green Road, Moseley, Birmingham

Satori is one of Birmingham’s standout Japanese restaurants, offering a more premium dining experience for anyone who enjoys fresh seafood, clean flavours and well-presented dishes. The menu includes Japanese favourites such as sushi, sashimi, tempura and grilled dishes, making it a strong choice for pescatarians who want something refined and full of variety.

This is a strong Pescafit option because Japanese food naturally works well for a pescatarian diet. There are plenty of fish and seafood-based choices, from lighter sushi and sashimi plates to warm grilled options and rice-based dishes. It is more of a special-occasion restaurant than a quick casual meal, but it adds real quality to Birmingham’s pescatarian food scene.

Why Pescafit Likes It

Satori brings a premium Japanese option to the list. It is ideal for pescatarians who want fresh seafood, lighter dishes and a more polished dining experience. It is a good choice for date nights, celebrations or anyone looking for something a little more elevated than a standard city-centre meal.

What To Look For

Go for sushi, sashimi, grilled seafood, tempura or robata-style fish dishes. To keep it balanced, choose lighter seafood plates, rice-based options and grilled dishes rather than going too heavy on fried extras or rich sauces.

3. Sushi Passion

Public Rating: 4.8/5 on OpenTable
Price Range: ££ – Approx. £25–£40 per person
Pescafit Overall Mark: 8.8/10
Best For: Sushi, sashimi and traditional Japanese dining
Location: Great Western Arcade, Birmingham City Centre

Sushi Passion is another strong Birmingham option for pescatarians. OpenTable lists it at 4.8/5 from around 590 reviews, with a price range of £26 to £40, while Tripadvisor lists it at 4.3/5 from nearly 600 reviews.

The menu is especially useful for pescatarians because it includes sushi sets, salmon, tuna, prawn, mackerel, eel, sashimi and other seafood-based options. OpenTable menu examples include traditional sushi sets around £30 and larger nigiri or mixed sets around £38–£42.

Why Pescafit Likes It

Sushi Passion gives you a strong balance of quality, choice and price. It feels special without being as expensive as a full omakase experience, making it a good middle ground between casual sushi and premium dining.

What To Look For

Go for salmon, tuna, prawn, mackerel, sashimi sets or sushi platters. Add miso soup or edamame for a more balanced meal.

4. Kyoto Sushi & Grill

Public Rating: 4.5/5 on Google according to the restaurant website
Price Range: ££ – Approx. £33.80 per person
Pescafit Overall Mark: 8.5/10
Best For: All-you-can-eat sushi, casual meals and groups
Location: Hurst Street, Birmingham

Kyoto Sushi & Grill is a good choice if you want variety. The restaurant specialises in sushi, sashimi and Japanese grill dishes, and its menu lists an all-you-can-eat option at £33.80 per person.

Its website also states that Kyoto has a 4.5/5 Google review score from over 1,000 customers, although this appears to be an older displayed figure, so it is worth checking the latest Google Maps rating before publishing.

Why Pescafit Likes It

Kyoto works well if you want a relaxed sushi meal with lots of choice. The all-you-can-eat format makes it useful for groups, and pescatarians can build a meal around sushi, sashimi, grilled fish, prawns, vegetables and rice.

What To Look For

Choose sushi, sashimi, grilled seafood, miso soup and vegetable sides. To keep it balanced, avoid going too heavy on fried dishes and focus on fish, rice and vegetables.

5. Albatross Death Cult

Public Rating: 10/10 on TheFork
Price Range: ££££ – Approx. £125–£150 per person
Pescafit Overall Mark: 8.4/10
Best For: Experimental seafood, tasting menus and special occasions
Location: Newhall Square, Birmingham

Albatross Death Cult is the most premium and unusual restaurant on this list. Michelin describes it as heavily Japanese-influenced, with a tasting menu made almost entirely from pared-back preparations of high-quality seafood.

This is not an everyday restaurant. The restaurant’s own menu page states that its tasting menu varies from £125 to £150 per person depending on British seafood pricing. TheFork also lists Albatross Death Cult at 10/10, although you should still check the latest availability and reviews before booking.

Why Pescafit Likes It

Albatross Death Cult is for pescatarians who want something completely different. It is creative, seafood-led and more of a food experienc e than a standard meal out. It is expensive, but it adds depth to the Birmingham list because it shows the higher-end side of seafood dining in the city.

What To Look For

This is a tasting menu restaurant, so you are there for the full experience rather than choosing individual dishes. It is best saved for birthdays, celebrations or a proper special occasion.

Final Thoughts

Birmingham has a strong mix of pescatarian-friendly restaurants, especially if you enjoy seafood and Japanese food. For a fun seafood experience, Seafood City is the strongest casual choice. For premium Japanese dining, Satori stands out. For a reliable city-centre sushi meal, Sushi Passion is a strong option. For variety and value, Kyoto Sushi & Grill works well, while Albatross Death Cult is best for a serious special occasion.

The best choice depends on the type of meal you want. If you want something social and bold, go for seafood boils. If you want something lighter and protein-rich, sushi and sashimi are excellent options. If you want a full dining experience, Birmingham has premium seafood-led restaurants that can make pescatarian eating feel exciting rather than restrictive.
