Our selection to share were Oak smoked Grimsby haddock (£5.25/10.50) - a strong favoured dish served in a mustard sauce with mash; East Coast Red Mullet (£6.25/12.50) - my favourite and served with sugar snaps and saute potatoes; Grilled Skate Wing (£6.50/13.00) - a little disappointing as the peri-peri butter was bland; Australasian Barramundi (£8.25/16.00) - meaty and served with a Vietamese ginger and lime sauce and finally Pacific Halibut (£8.50/17.00) - in a spicy Thai green curry sauce; our side order was Thick Cut Chips (£2.50). Generally we were pleased with our selection and chose the Libertas Chardonney (the house white) wine at £14.50 which was a good complement.

The service was varied - the staff did explain items on the menu to us, but were slow on the uptake when clearing plates and topping up the wine. We also found the tables were too small and too close together for comfort. We finished our meal with the Cinnamon Banana Springrolls (£5) which were just okay and lacked any real flavour.

The total bill came to £61.75. So, despite a few minor issues (that could easily be resolved), we did enjoy Fish Hoek although not as much as its sister restaurant Dumela (formally the Springbok Cafe/Grill).
