I've been to five restaurants in my 12 day stay in Cape Town so had a good yard stick and had fish at all as well.
I was a guest at Steffanies which I heard rave reviews about. The layout of the restaurant is very good, our booth was exceptional and the service great, but!
I had the Calamari starter, fish of the day which was Derado and then the Choc Tort for dessert. The starter was very small and dry and at R98 quite shocking to be honest.
The main, Derado fish was 8/10, incredibly simple, The rice option was effectively Tastic polished stuff with no imagination and that was it. There were no veggies, The other mains in the party of 5 were also not fine dining from a visual point of view although I cannot comment on the taste.
If I have to give an analogy it would be "emperors new clothes". The chef must up his game you can't charge this kind of money and serve such bland food. Fish was tasty though.

Hi Fraser,
Thank you for your positive comments regarding the service and ambience. We're sorry you did you enjoy your Calamari starter and will be looking into it with our kitchen. Our menu is designed to be simple, wholesome and family style, we're sorry you feel that it was a little too simple. Our rice is indian basmati rice and prepared plain so as to not overpower the chosen sauce and flavour of the fresh fish. As a family run restaurant that has been open for twenty years we take all comments to heart and constantly strive for improvement. We hope you'll join us another time soon, so we can leave a better impression.
