Seafood in the Overberg

Finger lickin’ prawns with lashings of garlic butter, calamari with homemade tartar sauce, a wood-fired pizza topped with fresh anchovy, fish ‘n chips to go, or a sneaky order of sushi to satisfy your tastebuds, you are in for a treat if you love seafood!

Eating Out In The Overberg

Many of the eateries in the Overberg have menus that showcase a bounty of sustainably harvested seafood supplied by local fishermen, and SASSI-recognised fishmongers. Whether you prefer an exclusive fine dining experience with fresh oysters and an amuse-bouche or two between courses, an informal eating arrangement on the beach where you can feast on snoek-en-patats or a local takeaway shop that sells the best fish ‘n chips on the planet, you are spoiled for choice when it comes to something fishy.

Fresh Fish

From Galjoen to yellowtail and everything in-between, fresh fish is in abundance throughout the year along the coast. Pan-fried, seared, roasted on the coals, or thinly sliced and presented in its rawest form, ocean fare is available on most restaurant menus.

Shellfish

Shrimp, prawn, crayfish, scallop, alikreukel, mussel and even an elusive piece of perlemoen, if your restaurant of choice has the correct licenses the shellfish food world is your oyster.
