Interesting concept - no menu, just "fresh" fish on ice - some local,some not - you pick the fish you want, they cut off pieces (make sure they only cut the size you ask for - our servitor had a very "bendy" knife) and they tell you the cost and cook it. Simple, but beware, it gets served to you... more

Fantastic seafood restaurant. Gets horribly busy but they really keep on top of the service here :) You choose your seafood ( butter fish, yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, GIANT prawns ) from a sprawling selection, get it weighed and discuss cooking options with the chef :) Super gastronomic experience! more
