There is nothing quite like chowing down on fish and chips: deep-fried hake or snoek wrapped in newspaper, a bag of slap chips and a hand swatting away the seagulls. So, where should you go when you feel like eating fish & chips in Cape Town?
Lucky Fish
With multiple locations across the city, Lucky Fish is known for serving some of the freshest fish in Cape Town. This spot is a great option for both sitting down to eat and grabbing something yummy for the road.
Fish on the Rocks
Located on the outskirts of Hout Bay Harbour, this bustling fish & chips shop has stunning views of Chapmans Peak and West Fort Cannons.
The establishment has created a solid name for itself over the decades, known for being the place to go to enjoy legendary fish & chips “amongst hovering seagulls and lazing seals”.
Kalky’s
Kalk Bay’s Kalky’s is an iconic spot serving fish & chips that will make your stomach scream with happiness. Steaming hot portions of fresh fish, flavourful chips and the smell of the sea will give you all the right feels.
Marinas Wharf
Marinas Wharf in Hout Bay is a local favourite and has been serving its delicious fish & chips since the 80s. The spot has become a destination where both internationals and locals come to experience mouth-watering food in an authentic harbour location.
Snoekies
Open since 1951, the iconic Snoekies began in Hout Bay but expanded so that customers could get the great experience of fresh fish & chips in the city too. The Hout Bay branch is the perfect spot to eat your goods with a gorgeous view of the sea.
