Frozen disappointment

Ive enjoyed this restaurant in the past but was recently disappointed to be served frozen fish - one would expect better from a specialist fish restaurant. I hope this isnt a habit !

Simply the BEST all round!

Had the most amazing dishes..seafood is amazingly flavored but still the original flavours of the calamari and mussels are right there. Service, ambience and professionalism top class. An amazingly lovely evening. Thank you Simon and PieterMore

Approaching perfection.

We four elderly gentlemen lunch at various restaurants in and around George and the Southern Cape on a monthly basis. We were happy to return to The Fat Fish and savour an excellent "Three Course Set Menu". The meal was well up to the high...standard we expect and the service beyond reproach. Well done Far Fish for going that extra mile to satisfy us.More

WOW

Wow, wow, wow. Had dinner at the Fat Fish last night and I will be back. Probably as soon as possible. The location is cozy. The staff are awesome. The food is exceptional. Please do yourself a favor and go have a look for yourself....You will not be disappointed. I would personally recommend the dum sum (vegetarian) or bobotie spring rolls (sounds strange, but are absolutely morish) to start with. For mains, the fish and chips (they have a great lunch special running on that on Tuesdays and Thursdays FYI), the Burmese curry (a fish curry and, I would really recommend) or the fish and sesame crusted calamari (side note: order some fries, they're awesome). For dessert we had the banana malva (great!), the amaretto brulee (my personal favorite, perfect balance of flavour, texture and sweetness) and the Panna cotta. I could list a dozen more items that honestly delivered across the board. An impressive feat to accomplish both excellence and consistency thoughout.More
