Aberdeen Seafood

Aberdeen Seafood brings a Hong Kong-influenced approach to Asian dining on Kings Road in Brighton. The menu centres on seafood and small plates, with flavours drawn from Cantonese, Sichuan, Thai and Japanese cooking. Dishes are designed for sharing, making the restaurant suited to meals where the table can sample several different styles.

The food ranges from soups and chilled starters to wok-fried dishes, dumplings, chicken wings, pork, beef and tofu. Seafood is a particular focus, with prawns, squid, clams, razor clams and other shellfish appearing across the menu. Flavours include chilli, garlic, black bean, salted egg, vinegar, ginger and fragrant herbs, giving the cooking a lively, varied character.

The restaurant’s identity connects the name Aberdeen with the harbour culture of Hong Kong, while its Kings Road setting gives that influence a Brighton context. The atmosphere is relaxed and social rather than formal, with food intended to sit alongside conversation and shared dining. Cold beer and cocktails are part of the drinks offering, complementing the bold, savoury dishes.

Aberdeen Seafood works well for diners who enjoy Asian-inspired seafood, punchy seasoning and a menu that encourages variety. It can also suit groups looking for a casual shared meal, particularly where different appetites call for several plates rather than one large dish per person. The address is 133-134 Kings Road, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 2HH.
