"It will be a restaurant but it will also be a fishmongers,” he said.
An array of fish including lobsters, oysters, prawns , crab, caviar and more, will be displayed on a bed of ice for customers to choose what they want.
"Our customers are amazingly high-class,” said Ercan.
People can buy the fish and take it home or they can choose their fish and say how they would like it cooked, then sit in the restaurant to enjoy it.

All the fish at the new restaurant will be fresh, says Ercan. “We won’t use any frozen.”
Among seafood dishes on the menu will be traditional fish and chips and, says Ercan, along with an extensive wine list and Champagne.
He expects the restaurant to be open in around five weeks.
