The Oystercatcher
Greater Manchester, Manchester - Seafood - Restaurant
A loyal local crowd ensures regular full houses at this upbeat suburban seafood eatery, which comes complete with an overspill heated terrace out front. The day’s catch is given a full-on global workout as the kitchen doles out a regularly changing repertoire of capable, well-timed dishes ranging from chargrilled octopus with baba ganoush and batata harra (Lebanese spicy potatoes) to classic lemon sole meunière or a Goan curry of pan-roasted stone bass. Decent sides, accompaniments, dips and affordably priced wines complete the picture. There’s an offshoot on Stanley Square, Sale.
