I'm a Brightonian who loves jellied eels. When I worked in London, there was a plaice near London Bridge where there was a stall run by Tubby Issacs. There's nothing better than standing up to have a plate of eels smothered in malt vinegar and white pepper with a bloody great hunk of bread....and spitting the big bones on the pavement by yer feet.

possibly an Albarino? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albariño
Get yourself to Galicia for the best seafood in EuropeYou'll love it. (although don't go for the weather)
I agree about the weather, 3 days in Santiago earlier this month and it rained constantly. Also agree about the seafood; there was a mouthwatering selection in Santiago market .
Beach Hut
Brighton Bhuna Boy
Lobster by a mile, a very rare treat
You should try Riddle & Finn, either in the Lanes or on the seafront. A bit expensive but really great Fruits De Mer.... start with a plate of Whitstable oysters washed down with a frothing glass of Guinness.I love plaice, king prawns and crispy squid.
I love me a seafood platter (fruits de mer) but no-one does a decent one in Brighton, more like fruits de merde.

Another vote for mussels although I don't tend to eat them when out since I've found how easy they are to cook and that I can cook them better. Unusually my kids also love them and a regular treat is huge bowls full of mussels in a garlic, white wine and cream sauce with frites and warm buttered french bread ..... yummmmm.

I love it all, but am particularly partial to a bit of skate (not in the Hastings sense 
). Been told about this hidden gem http://www.intothebluerestaurant.com/ Anyone been ? Going to have to make a trek into deepest Shoreham to check out

Great thread.
I'm rather partial to seafood paella...
http://alanwares.wordpress.com/2012/10/21/im-just-mad-about-saffron/
... and, although not strictly seafood, some baked trout.

I also like preparing and demolishing a rather pleasant salmon doused in lime, paprika and dill, and slowly pan-fried in butter.

haha, yep, that's pretty much Galicia!
I find the rain adds to Santiago's charm. Maybe.
