Big Fish in uMhlanga

"Went my first time and had the spinach and feta stuffed calamari tubes with mash and a lemon butter sauce, it was so good we had to go back we then tried and had the whole snapper fish to share with sides, can I just say, the chefs love what they do and it shows in the food, it was such fresh fish and so tasty. My parents since being here for 2 weeks have almost visited atleast 3x a week if not that... Actually more. That says alot!!"

"Big Fish Umhlanga delivers an outstanding seafood dining experience with a perfect balance of quality, atmosphere, and service. The restaurant has a relaxed yet elegant coastal feel, making it ideal for both casual lunches and special dinners. The seafood is exceptionally fresh, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. From the oysters and calamari to the line fish and prawns, every dish reflects care and consistency. The sushi selection is also excellent, adding great variety to the menu. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff were knowledgeable about both food and wine pairings. The setting in Umhlanga adds to the charm — lively, stylish, and unmistakably seaside. A reliable go-to for fresh seafood in Durban. Highly recommended."

"Beautiful restaurant, service 10/10. Food delicious, presentation wow. Spices perfect, chef is brilliant. All the way from Johannesburg to taste this food and no regrets truly unique . Definitely going back there."

"Their seafood was really delicious and fresh. The hake portion was very generous and the pasta was rich, decadent and filled with calamari and mussels. Their prawns were massive and so tasty. Definitely worth the price. Only criticism was their mocktails, it was mostly flavour-syrups with ice. The shrimp in the pasta were also a bit dry."

"The food is very good. I had the baby Kingklip, it is a very big portion and was delicious. The peri peri sauce was very good and went well with the fish. We had sushi to start. It was good. 7/10. They advertise a huge special of 30% off all sushi. However when looking at the menu, the prices are about 70% higher than what they should be. So even after the discount the sushi is more expensive than it should be. The restaurant is in a great location. The food is fresh and delicious. Service was also very good."

"Absolutely amazing food! Well prepared and super tasty. The sushi is fresh and good portion sizes."

"The fish was so good we had to visit twice in one week! The kingklip thermadore and seafood platter is highly recommended. Great atmosphere and lovely decor. Service from Melinda and Rose was fantastic. The only downside is that the kitchen and music was a little loud in the background, but all in all very pleasant experience."

"We had dinner here last week, and absolutely loved it. My boyfriend had the peri peri prawns, delicious ans flavorful. I ordered the stuffed calamari, absolutely delicious. I'd go back for that dish alone. The service was excellent as well. Our waitress Cocomelon (nickname) was warm and attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend."
