RAW - Brick Lane

A slice of luxurious seaside bliss on the eternally cool Brick Lane, RAW Fish and Cocktails is making waves with innovative seafood plates and signature cocktails. This exclusive spot is exactly what it says on the beautifully embossed tin.

Taking all the free-spirited characteristics of the seaside, the vivid blues and whites and the waft of salty, oceanic freshness, RAW enjoys an irresistible seaside aesthetic inside and out with a chic, polished finish. Take the beach outside on their street-side patio or stay indoors. There, vibrant blue tiles are dramatically juxtaposed against white leather booths, crisp-white chairs and softwoods, whilst the chink of glistening glasses and rolling oysters provides a gorgeous soundtrack to your meal.

The meal itself deep-dives into all the treasures of the sea. Accompany your seasonal oysters with a glass of fizz before indulging in the likes of raw cured salmon, tempura octopus or melt-in-the-mouth tuna tartare with Japanese-inspired miso mayo. Speaking of Japan, their dedicated tempura section, featuring tiger prawns and black ink arancini, is an ode to the most delicious of traditions.

Moving on and the Cornish coastline is serving up all kinds of delicacies. Cured mackerel is bundled into a sumptuous sandwich with crunchy cabbage and Cornish monkfish is thrown into a bed of flames for some exquisite smoky depth. And if you thought the ocean stopped at the food, you couldn't be more wrong. Say hello to your next tipple, the Squid Ink Mary, Sea Sultan or Nori Pisco Sour with a hint of seaweed syrup. Go ahead; dive in.
