The Seafood boil restaurant that went viral and got everyone talking when it opened its doors two years ago is giving Brummie's the chance to net a lip-smacking deal this week to celebrate the second birthday.

Seafood City in the Arcadian broke the internet when it burst onto the scene in May 2024 serving the trending Cajun seafood boil which originates from the Deep South of the USA and uses a traditional cooking method to lock in the flavours of the sea. Diners quickly became hooked on the banging shellfish platter combined with the tangy Louisiana sauce.

Now founder, Oliver Ngo is thanking guests for their custom by serving up an exclusive birthday treat for this week only and inviting them to turn up, don the famous bib and get messy.

Customers will be pinching themselves when they are given double – yes double – helpings of prawns all day this Wednesday (3rd June) and Friday (5th June). Every prawn on the menu is doubled... platters, combos and add-ons.

Oliver said: “We took a leap of faith two years ago bringing the viral seafood boil trend to Birmingham and had no idea how popular it was going to be.  The city went crazy for the concept and we had to turn 200 people away on the first weekend because we couldn’t keep up with demand.

“To mark two years of Seafood City, I wanted to go big.  Picture a platter arriving with twice the king prawns - same garlic butter, same chilli hit, same price, just more of everything. Just us going a bit over the top because that's what birthdays are for."

Oliver is honouring 20 bookings this Wednesday and Friday on a first come, first served basis so you'll need to be quick to get your claws into this one-of-a kind treat.
