Gaaitjie Salt Water Restaurant

Great little restaurant with a limited but appealing menu with a strong bias to fish. The fish of the day was yellowtail, marinated in yoghurt and grilled. It was outstanding. Highly spiced with turmeric and almost a pickled fish flavour, the fish was moist and tender. The accompanying vegetables were good too. The angelfish served with pesto and tagiatelli was lighter than the rich yellowtail, but equally delicious. I didn’t taste the fish cake starter, but it was pronounced very good too.

We had excellent service from a jovial waitress who dispensed information and advice about the food and humour in equal quantities.

We chose the veranda for the view of the sea, but the indoor rooms had a lovely atmosphere too.

Don’t expect a table if you haven’t booked.
