00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World, my name's Theo Kuusenbert and today is a very exciting video because
00:04It's basically two videos in one for you. Not only are we on our way to Sexy Fish, which is a restaurant
00:10I've been desperate to try ever since it opened here in Manchester, but we're on our way there for the launch of Pride
00:162025. Now if you're from Manchester or even the surrounding area, you won't need to know how big of a deal Pride is right here
00:24in the city. With the Gay Village, we've got an amazing history with the LGBTQ plus community
00:29And it really is one of the highlights of Manchester's social calendar. So we're gonna go there
00:33We're gonna hear from some of the people involved about what the lineup is, some of the amazing events that we've got planned and I'll
00:39Tell you all about it. Maybe show you a little bit of the food as well
00:42So firstly, I want to thank the Pride team for inviting us down to this event
00:45It really is an amazing opportunity to meet some of the awesome people behind the scenes here
00:50And it was amazing being able to learn about some of the lineup before it actually goes out into the public domain
00:56We will have news on that for you tomorrow
00:58We've got to wait for an embargo to pass
01:00But honestly, buckle yourselves in. If Pride is your bag, you are going to be absolutely over the moon
01:05And that's exactly what I was eating here at Sexy Fish
01:09It's an Asian inspired sort of Japanese sushi, sashimi, seafood, fish, meat
01:14restaurant, all cooked on an amazing grill and the layout inside was
01:19Absolutely amazing, really opulent and I felt very fancy just being there. I felt slightly ridiculous wearing a jersey
01:25This is the menu that they served
01:27So it was salmon tartare, which you can see in a little bowl in the middle in just a second, a spicy tuna maki as
01:33Well, which was genuinely might be the best sushi I've ever had. There it is. It's
01:38Startlingly good. They had these little crackers as well. I don't know what they were made from some sort of popped grain
01:45Possibly. A salmon teriyaki. They had pork belly skewers as well with a pear and ginger dip
01:52And when I say I went overboard in eating I absolutely did and that wasn't it
01:56They gave us a little nameplate as well and a little fish that it said on the bottom stolen from Sexy Fish
02:01I felt like that was a bit of a push to steal it, but they rounded off with the best donut
02:05I've ever had I think. If you imagine the sort of Blackpool Beach hot donut
02:09It was like that just elevated to an amazing extent. Great chocolate and passion fruit sauce with it as well
02:14And honestly, I can't recommend it enough
02:17Words can't quite do justice
02:19Into just how good that food was and how good the experience of Sexy Fish was on the whole
02:23It is my first time visiting and it absolutely won't be my last. All the food was wonderfully fresh really nicely balanced and
02:32Honestly, I think it might just be one of the best meals I've ever had but that barely covers it
02:37I know I promised at the start this video that this would be a dual video that we'd have a lot of information about
02:41Pride we do have that information. All I can say for now is that it sounds like it's a wonderful wonderful
02:47time planned. There's some amazing headliners. Stay tuned follow Manchester World for more and
02:53Keep an eye on our future videos for more information about Pride
