Smokeries

Fresh fish smoked over oak fires
The Smokeries are an integral part of Mariner’s Wharf. Out of the smokeries comes our famous smoked snoek, smoked over genuine oakwood. When the Smokeries are operating, the warm freshly-smoked fish literally flies off the shelves in the Fishmarket. Besides snoek, other varieties of fish such as tuna and angelfish are also produced.

Live Lobsters

Take your pick from the catch of the day
The Fishmarket at Mariner’s Wharf features one of the few open-to-the-public live lobster tanks in South Africa. Besides stocking the freshest catch of the day, here you can select your lobster of choice and size. Lobster tails and whole cooked lobsters are also available.

What people are saying

Testimonials

Always a winner for the best seafood in Cape Town!

Dries

Fish and chips delish! There is a queue but it moves fast. They have sauvignon blanc, Hunters Cider, live music, lively scenery. Expensive curio shops but lovely trinkets. Lovely walk down the quay

Leo

Fantastic shops with lots of gifts, treats, snacks and delicacies!

Plakkies

There are many places in Cape Town, who make an awesome Fish & Chips parcel, but Mariner's Wharf makes the best Calamari & Chips. The taste and quality have been consistent, over my lifetime of coming here.

Lorenzo
Food was divine. We bought the family meal which came packaged perfectly. More than enough for 4 people....maybe 5 or 6. Host was extremely friendly and informative. There was a long line but it went relatively quickly. Was full but managed to find seating. Overall was such a nice day and lunch with my family.
Ilhaam

The best cajun calamari in Cape Town. Wonderful venue and great staff. Always a wonderful welcome from them. We only have cajun calamari, just can't try anything else!
