Situated in Hout Bay’s harbour against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean and Chapman’s Peak, Fish on the Rocks is a beloved purveyor of the freshest fish – hake, snoek and yellowtail – as well as calamari and prawns. Those in the know praise it for its consistent offering and unparalleled seaside location – it really does smack of the sea. Don’t expect fanciness, this is good, honest food served with a smile. Choose from various combos (grilled or fried), add a side such as chips, coleslaw or a salad and a sauce, and take your spoils outside to enjoy in the seating areas or, literally, on the rocks. There are also fish fingers on offer for the kids, as well as a steak pie for those who prefer meat. The perfect weekend outing with the family, or a quick lunch when you need some fresh air.

Don't leave without trying:
The hake and chips (heavily salted), chilli sauce and some calamari on the side.
