Leeds food lovers—this one’s for the seafood crowd.
At Kerala Canteen, we don’t serve “safe” plates. We serve dishes with heat, balance, and purpose—crafted with the kind of depth you only get from real Kerala cooking.
And if you’re hunting for a Kerala seafood curry in Leeds, this is the one that turns first-time diners into regulars.
Introducing Sea Bass Pollichathu—a bold South Indian classic, reworked into our Canteen Tapas style.

What is Sea Bass Pollichathu?
In Kerala, pollichathu is all about contrast:
- seared fish
- tangy masala
- tempered aromatics
- and that rich, slow-cooked depth that builds with every bite
Our version delivers exactly that.
✅ Sea Bass Pollichathu at Kerala Canteen includes:
- Seared sea bass, cooked for a crisp edge and tender centre
- Tempered cherry tomato masala base
- A tangy, layered finish that keeps the dish bright—not heavy
- Naturally Dairy-Free (DF) and Gluten-Free (GF)
This is seafood tapas that feels clean, bold, and high-impact.
