Hooked Seafood

You head down to Ellerthwaite Square and it hits you straightaway: Hooked takes its fish seriously. The menu reads like someone who actually knows what they're doing with shellfish and white fish, rather than just plating up whatever's fashionable. There's a real kitchen focus here—you'll spot the effort in how they source and prepare everything. It's become the sort of place where if you want something honest and well-executed, you know where to go. The room itself feels proper and unfussy, which suits the food down to the ground.
