The Seahorse

You're walking past the seafront chaos of Kings Road when you duck into The Seahorse and suddenly the noise drops away. It's got that understated Brighton vibe—whitewashed walls, maritime touches that don't feel try-hard, servers who actually know what they're talking about. The menu reads like someone who genuinely cares about where their fish comes from; you'll find everything from classic battered cod to more adventurous daily specials that change depending on what's landed. Pricing sits in that sweet spot where you're not paying central London money but you're getting quality that justifies it.
