You want amazing quality meat and fish and great prices? You won't go wrong with AJ Barlow! These…read moreguys stock fresh and frozen fish from around the world from cod and salmon to more exotic species like red grouper. If you fancy something more interesting than "white fish fillets" for your dinner, you are in for a treat. The Birmingham Indoor Markets is great for meat, fish and poultry, but I have used these guys many a time and not been disappointed. From your basic stuff like Mackerel to your more expensive seafoods - chances are you'll be able to find what you're looking for here. The guys clearly label their produce (so you know the cost before you buy) and you can get set amounts, rather than pre-packaged - so you can buy exactly what you need. They're friendly, helpful, have great produce and will offer advice on their stock. If you go towards the end of the day, you might be able to snap up a bargain too. If you're looking for great quality fish and you're watching your pennies, give these guys a go!

They staff are very helpful, friendly and very competent about what the are selling. I also like the oval shaped display plan the shelves are laid out it gives the customer a good mini tour around and see their fresh product. Another added bonus is that it is located in a spacious food section of the indoor market and the place is very clean and tidy. If you lucky you might find a unique catch on display when you visit, last year they had a 1.2 metre Swordfish caught from somewhere in West Africa on display.

I'm sure the slippery fella was included in the list of 10 Most Diabolical Fish on Earth that I was reading about on-line the other day. Anyhow, face to face with my sub-aquatic nemesis, I was truly amazed by this place. They have just about every possible type of fish and seafood one can think of, and more besides. I don't know how common this kind of comprehensive fish/seafood emporium is elsewhere, but I reckon it has to be worth a visit to Manchester alone and if you have some small children you could take, all the better! It's like some kind of edible museum. An aquarium of exotic tastes, no less. The staff were incredibly friendly too. I was told that the Conger Eel is often bought by African customers and you buy it by the slice. Other residents included huge bream and carp, a plethora of jet black catfish nestled barb to barb at the front of one side of the gargantuan oval counter and several decapitated fish heads, which according to the monger, are bought and used for fish stock. Further still along this plank of plenty, was the seafood section replete with pink spider crabs, king and emperor prawns, and an assortment of shellfish that ranged from cockles and whelks to oysters. What a place. Fin.

I was pleasantly surprised! More veg variety than the often a little uninspiring coop, local homemade pies, wool of the same brand but a lower price than some in the wool shop, local bakers ad butchers (I didn't see any candlestick makers...). Wrapping paper, all sorts. Of course, there is a good amount of the sort of market stuff I don't plump for, the occasional plagiaristic-ish clothing stall for example, but if you're happy to have a bit of a walk around, then you may well find some good bits and bobs.

You can often tell just by observation that their fish hasn't been sat around for ages which is always a good indication it is fresh; there is nothing worse than the opposite. The fishmongers are more than willing to help if you need any advice or special requirements. Their knowledge and experience is priceless, so make sure you make the most out of your visit!

Circling around the counter like a shark I was super excited with their selection. Everything looked fresh and tasty despite what the negative comments say. We were served very quickly despite it starting to be quite busy and she was lovely. For £40 we walked away with 1kg of tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi, 180g of scallops, 5 rock oysters and 3 red snappers.. ..I usually spend that on sushi alone.. Overall staff were attentive, paid attention to hygiene i.e cleaning hands every time they touched a fishy, wore masks and had great produce. Yes I will be back after me any my kitties devour this stash.

This is a really unbelievable fishmonger. I'm sure it is the widest selection of fish and seafood…read moreavailable in Manchester and beyond. Its closest competitor is the smaller but more quaint fishery in Didsbury, Evans Fish, but for me this place tops it through the sheer selection offered at excellent prices. When you enter the room, just alongside the Arndale Food Market, you will be literally astounded. There are literally hundreds of fish on offer. You may also be scared, as some of them are huge and have really scary faces. They have everything you can imagine from cod and haddock through sea bream and jon dory to trout and mackerel. Apart from the fish they have crabs, including some blue one with patterns on their backs worthy of an art gallery. They have prawns, ranging from the very tiny to the absolutely huge. One type of prawn is so big you would honestly only want one per person. They also have oysters, which are an alarming 85p per one. They have mussels. They even have cod roe and caviar. The prices are all unbelievable, often £2 per fish or three for a fiver. They also do 'fish pie mix' which has chunks of white fish, salmon and smoked fish in, for two quid or so. Basically if you like fish, this is the best place in the world.

They're tiny pots of unseasoned boiled and chilled seafood from about 2.5-4£ a pot depending on whether it's prawns, mussels, cockles, whelks, crayfish, etc. Perfectly size for sampling if you can't commit or want to sample them all. There are condiments available for you to season after, but I prefer to eat them as-is, since plain boiled fresh seafood is already have their own briny flavor. Provided are forks, toothpicks, salt, pepper, mayo, Marie Rose sauce (ketchup mayo).

After attempting to go to 3 other restaurants on a Sunday night we ended up at Loch Fyne. My…read morefamily told me it was a chain which slightly disappointed me, but it ended up being a fabulous meal. 8pm on a Sunday was pretty dead and we ended up being the last table (there were 7 of us) eating. The staff however didn't seem to be pushing us out the door and were not unhappy when we ordered dessert, even after watching the lights within the kitchen being turned off lol. The menu itself is huge and definitely geared towards seafood, although there are some meat only entrees as well. I started off with the SCALLOPS and HAGGIS and loved it. Honestly the scallops didn't need to be there and the haggis on it's own was amazing - this is showing my true Scottish side lol. If you don't know what haggis is I suggest googling, but only if you're brave. I also ordered one OYSTER as I couldn't remember if I had tried a Scottish oyster before. My parents warned me that it may be conch-sloppy (Bahamian reference) but the oyster was lovely. Great presentation, although very pricey for one oyster! For my entree I had the PORK BELLY and PRAWNS. Prawns were a bit fishy for me, but I find this to be the norm with prawns in England, and the pork belly was slightly less fatty than I'm used to, but overall this was a solid dish. For dessert I had the TREACLE TART and loved it. Not exactly on my diet, but I wasn't sure when I'd be back on this side of the pond again and I wanted to take full advantage of all the desserts I'll be missing out on lol. Overall the ambiance was great. Very pretty restaurant with just enough "sea" theme to be tasteful and not tacky. Although I hate eating at chains I'd definitely dine at another Loch Fyne again.

We were a group of 5 (2 parents and our 3 daughters aged 11-19). Our starters were: Haggis and Cheese Spring Rolls; Salt and Pepper Squid; Chicken Terrine; Smoked Haddock Scotch Egg and Chili Garlic Prawns. Couldn't fault any of them at all. Our mains were: Sirloin Steak (cooked just how we asked for - blue) with a half Lobster; Tuna Steak Melt; Crab and Lobster Burger; Angus Beef Burger with a half Lobster; and a Whole Baked Lobster. The dishes were good value - £31 for the surf and turf, £26 for the whole lobster..... We all felt that the lobsters could have been a bit meatier but they were cooked beautifully (not hint of rubberyness!). The espresso martini's are SUPERB and our server was terrific. Yes, service was a little slow at times but, as I've said, the place was heaving, the staff apologised where necessary and to be honest we were there for a leisurely family meal so we were in no hurry. In all I highly recommend this restaurant, it's certainly a great addition to the expanding dining scene in Shrewsbury.
