Fishmonger

I've always quite enjoyed Fishmonger, even though I found their prices leaning towards the expensive side. After my visit on Tues 25 March I won't be returning anytime soon. The calamari served to us were the tiny tubes one finds at a pub, the haloumi was rubbery, the tuna sashimi was cut far too thick. I can't see how a restaurant can charge R250 for a plain grilled piece of sea bass (cultivated from Mauritius). Other restaurants in Johannesburg charge half this amount. The same can be said for the prawn curry which carries an equally exorbitant price tag. If the food was amazing I might be able to justify it, but the most enjoyable part of the meal were the veg sides which we all agreed was better than any of the seafood we ordered. Sadly, we won't be returning, as we all left feeling rather hard done by.
