You eat seafood and sushi at Cape Town Fish Market, set in the V&A Waterfront’s Clock Tower precinct. The kitchen blends South African and Japanese dishes — fish and chips alongside sashimi, with local wines served alongside. The menu accommodates meat and vegetarian options, though the focus remains on seafood.

The restaurant sits in a high-traffic part of the waterfront, drawing both locals and visitors. The space is functional rather than ornate, with the kitchen’s output taking precedence over decor. Dishes arrive plated for sharing, and the sushi counter offers a view of the preparation.

What defines the place is its location: the V&A Waterfront ensures a steady flow of diners, and the kitchen serves through the day to match the harbour’s rhythm.
