About 7 oceans Seafood & grill
7 Oceans Seafood & Grill is a seafood restaurant on Woodsley Rd in Leeds, built around a counter where customers pick their own fish before it goes on the grill. Options include sea bream, sea bass, carp, and salmon, priced by weight and listed on a board rather than a fixed menu. A whole fish meal comes with rice, salad of chopped onions, tomatoes and lemon, and bread, and a skewer of prawns with rice and salad is also available. Drinks are limited to canned pop such as coke, sprite and Fanta, and water is provided free of charge. Seating is upstairs from the counter, and the setup is walk-in rather than reservation-based. Payment can be made in cash or by card.

Customer Review Summary
Grilled sea bream draws the most praise, described repeatedly as cooked to perfection with crisp skin and fresh, moist flesh, and it typically arrives with rice, salad, and bread for around fifteen to seventeen pounds. Close behind, reviewers highlight the grilled prawns and boneless salmon, along with red rice and free water, and several call out generous portions and reasonable prices as standout value. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, with one diner noting a language barrier at first but polite service once resolved, and another recommending paying cash to help keep prices low for the business. A couple of reviewers note trade-offs: the seating isn't comfortable for long stays and one wait ran about an hour without pre-ordering, while another mentions the upstairs was chilly and suggests the toilets could be cleaner. Multiple reviewers say they'd return specifically for the fish.

“Excellent fish shop! The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. The red rice was delicious, and the salad was fresh and well prepared. Everything tasted homemade and high quality. The staff were friendly, the service was excellent, and the place was clean. I’ll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for fresh, tasty seafood.”

“Absolute gem. Fresh fish from the counter to your plate, excellent coal fire unique taste when generous portion sizes and deals. Cannot find fresher fish for such reasonable prices in most of the UK. Very tasty, genuine and catered to individual tastes ... Me and my friend just incidentally came by this place and would love to go again”

“Have you ever been to that one place you want to shout about on the top of your lungs? Well this is that place! Randomly came up on Google maps. We got a medium seabream to share between the two of us. It came with two rice, salad and a nan bread. Cooked to perfection, slight moist and a crispy scaled skin With two drink I believe he said £17 The menu is basic and the price is written on the board They have carp, seabream, seabass and salmon which caries from £15-25 Skewer of prawns with rice and salad I think £10(?) When we went to pay the young lad got the card machines out and I said cash. He was shocked I said cash... if you want restaurants to keep their prices low you need to pay cash. So please support small businesses like these by paying cash. Fantastic!!!”

“Easily the best fish and best prawns I had in the UK. I was craving some Egyptian style (قاروص سنجاري) fish and some proper grilled prawns. Most places grill the fish first, then add vegetables which makes it dry. This place grills the fish with the vegetables and it comes out perfectly cooked and seasoned. The prawns were also very much above anything Ive had in the UK (including some high end places in london)”

“Had a lovely meal at this restaurant with my family, which included our young children. The fish were grilled to perfection - so tasty and moreish. Even our fussy kids enjoyed the boneless, grilled salmon. The rice was lovely too - mild enough for the little ones. Great place for good tasting grilled fish with friendly staff.”
