You may have popped into JH Mann on Sharrow Vale for your fish, but have you ever been for lunch?
Founded by the Mann family in 1921, this fishmonger has been a part of Sheffield's high street for over a decade.
The business was taken over by chefs Christian Szurko and Scott Mills in 2005, and what unfollowed was something very special indeed.
JH Mann of course sells all the fresh fish and seafood you could think of, as well as a fabulous selection of fish pies, fish stocks and other fish-related products.

But if you don’t fancy taking it home to cook, they’ll even cook it for you themselves.
Sister venue to top seafood spot Native that they opened in 2021, you just know it’s going to be good but let us tell you, it smashes ‘good’ out of the park.
The concept is simple and lacking any frills, but that's how we like it.

Simply take a pick of what’s on offer, whether that be oysters, tuna, scallops, salmon, and they’ll cook it up with whatever they’ve got that day. It could be with their homemade chilli oil, their caper butter or melted into an unctuous risotto - and the best part is, they’re charging shop prices instead of restaurant prices.
The aim is to get people eating and trying more fish, which is easier to do when you're not paying top dollar for it.
There aren't many seats but if you get a spot overlooking the street, then you're in for a glorious afternoon of eating delicious fish and people watching.

Of course it is just a fishmongers, so you don't have a working bar. But you are encouraged to support the nearby local businesses, like grabbing a bottle of white wine to go with your oysters from independent wine shop Staremoreboss which is literally next door.
They've even got a dedicated fridge section for people dining at JH Mann and have all the fish-wine pairings you could desire.
This really is a special place, it feels like an exclusive lunch club that you want to be a member of time, and time again.
They're open Tuesday - Saturday and lunch is served between 11-3pm.
A restaurant where you can dive into unlimited pizza is opening in Sheffield very soon.
Like pizza? Then you're going to love this.
Introducing Slice Club, a brand-new restaurant concept that's opening in Sharrow Vale this month.
The idea has been 14 years in the making, and it's unlike anything you'll find in the city.
For £17.50 per person, guests can enjoy all-you-can-eat pizza, with fresh pizzas circulating around the room and served straight to the table.
There’s no menu or individual ordering, you simply take what you fancy, and a light on the table lets the team know when you’d like to pause or have more.

And it doesn't stop there as there’s no fixed sitting time, either. You simply eat until you're full and then the team will let the next group of hungry punters in, so you don't have to feel rushed.
Dips, drinks and desserts are extra and can be ordered separately.
As for the pizzas, there's plenty of vegan and vegetarian options available so nobody has to miss out on the slice action.
Teasing the opening on Instagram, The Slice Club said: "No choosing a pizza and regretting it when someone else’s turns up. We make them. We bring them round. You take what you fancy. Drinks and desserts work normally."
"You’ve watched the window go up. You’ve watched us get the place ready. Now, you can finally book a table. We’re bringing bottomless pizza to Sharrow Vale, with slices coming to you until you decide to hit pause."
Sounds like a pretty good concept if you ask us, and we don't have long to wait as The Slice Club will be opening on Sharrow Vale Road on Friday 30 October.
Bookings are now open, and you can book your table via their website here.

Comedian Joe Lycett is putting money behind the bar at a pub in Sheffield this week, as he continues to encourage people to get out and support their local boozers.
The TV favourite – who is also currently one of the stars on The Traitors – announced the news as he bid farewell to his fictional TV pub The Lycett Arms.
On the show, he said: “There are 45,000 pubs in the UK – go and give them some love.”
Joe Lycett then proceeded to list 30 brilliant pubs up and down the country, including one in Sheffield, and announced that the drinks are on him this week.
He told audiences: “[This] Friday I’ll be putting a little bit of money behind the bar in all the pubs you’ve just seen. I hope you can have a drink on me.”
The chosen pub in Sheffield is The Hallamshire House, a lovely old boozer serving real ale in Crookesmoor.
Announcing the news to social media, Channel 4 and Joe Lycett wrote: "Take this as your excuse to drop what you’re doing, call a mate, and head to your local pub. Even if you see this during the middle of a working day. Go. Be free."
Well, you certainly don't have to tell us twice.
Some pubs have even agreed to match the offer, commenting on the post: “Thank you so much for the shout out. Next time you find yourself nearby, pop in for a pint!”
So this Friday, get your friends together and have a free pint on Joe Lycett himself - you know you want to.
