    Renowned restaurant chain The Manhattan Fish Market (MFM) makes it way to the biggest industrial and commercial centre in South India with the opening of its first branch in Chennai, India. Since its first outlet opened last year in Sri Lanka in 2013 by the franchisee, Sri Lankan based Everbright Holdings Pvt. Ltd., the brand has grown in repute with the opening of its second branch in Rajagirigya in 2014. Chennai is the only city in South Asia and India to figure in the “52 places to go around the world” by The New York Times and it is the ideal location for the Manhattan Fish Market to continue its international expansion. The international MFM franchise is known far and wide for specialising in premium seafood in over seven countries with 66 outlets. This marks the eighth country for the franchise, marking the opening of its 67th outlet. The popular restaurant now caters to the discerning seafood lovers in the bustling city of Chennai. Commenting on this milestone, Shafraz Anees, Managing Director, The Manhattan Fish Market Sri Lanka and India, stated: “We are extremely proud to expand to the Indian market and serve the discerning seafood lovers and Bollywood stars with some of the finest seafood in town. We will continue to offer innovation and variety in our menu so that our diners can enjoy a unique dining experience on par with international standards. This marks the beginning of more outlets both in Sri Lanka and India in the near future.” Inspired by the finest seafood restaurants found along Fulton Street in Manhattan, The Manhattan Fish Market is an award winning casual dining restaurant that specializes in serving American-style seafood cooked in the healthiest methods. Customers in the neighborhood can now experience the taste of fresh seafood cooked with authentic flavours that are unique to The Manhattan Fish Market kitchen. Open from 12 noon to 12 a.m., customers can enjoy a gastronomical feast for lunch or dinner and indulge in a variety of their favorite dishes from the extensive sea-perb menu. The Manhattan FISH MARKET India opened its doors with a bang with a special Facebook competition where 25 lucky wins were rewarded with a sea-perb party at the new outlet. The restaurant offers seafood which is cooked five different ways; baked, poached, grilled, fried and flamed using ingredients that are of the highest quality, some of which are flown in from Vietnam, Holland, Chile, China, Australia and Alaska.
