What a gem. Amazing little place that we didn't know was around. As we walked in, what great greeting from a young person and very knowledgable of the products and items. The shop is small, but perfect. Wide range of products and great prices.

So glad I finally checked out this takeaway Deli after hearing so many top recommendations! ​The shop is spotless and organized, and the quality-to-price ratio on their seafood is hard to beat. I picked up fresh hake and impressive, meaty salmon offcuts—definitely none of those thin strings! Beyond fish, they carry a huge variety of quality seafood, cheeses, and even salmon biltong and so much more! 😋 ​ Definitely drop them a message on WhatsApp to get their weekly special updates!

Finally a fish shop in our area! Great selection, best advice and very friendly service. Love it! Fish braai or seared sesame tuna at home? No problem anymore. Try the salmon crème cheese spread on a bagel and the quiches - delicious!

We had a hard time finding decent bread in Bloubergstrand area, and were so happy to find the most amazing breads here (fresh daily). But ofcourse, besides that, they offer an amazing aray of seafood but also cheese and other delicacies. Very much worthwhile a visit, as the service is super friendly and helpful and they always offer a taste of something yummy. Highly recommended store.

Wow, what a magical place, from the food to the people, it feels like they get more excited about I’m trying to make then I am, with the purest, freshest seafood/produce. I really appreciated being told “sorry, the hake arrived this morning, but I wasn’t happy with the quality, so we will only have later” that’s proper care. Appreciate

We were looking for quality seafood and came across famous fish. We were not disappointed. Over a 10 day stay we went back almost daily for oysters as well as had prawns, octopus, and a variety of fish. It was all of the highest quality. The service was amazing. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the area.

Superb little fish shop and deli. Lots of choice, lots of supplementary items and great quality. Actually can't wait to go back and try some more fish (and something new). Update: we've been back a few times now and they're amazing... This will be a regular now. Tell everyone you know - we need places like this to thrive 😉

A superb little fish shop and deli. It’s family-run, and the staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to make recommendations. The selection of fresh fish is excellent, with plenty of complementary deli items to choose from, all top quality. They even offer treats for dogs and cats, which makes it a wonderful pet-friendly stop. I honestly can’t wait to go back, try even more of their fish, and maybe pick up something new each visit.

This family owned deli is a gem for seafood lovers. They have dedicated themselves to selling top-quality fish and seafood products that are beautifully packaged and displayed. Their passion for seafood is unmistakable - they smoke the fish themselves and craft a variety of delicious fish options like their amazing Tuna samosas( actual tuna fillets), smoked Snoek samosas, pates, dips, fish cakes, quiches and so much more. You have to try their smoked Tuna carpaccio, a restaurant quality serving... pair it with their smoked Mackerel, or smoked Angel fish, pair it with anything you find inside this cute little deli, everything is worth tasting. The deli itself is a pleasure to enter, with a warm modern interior, and an incredible family who run this place. Thank you to the team at Famous Fish for bringing this gorgeous local treasure to Cape Town's west coast, ❤️

Tried their Norwegian Mackerel and it was AMAZING. So fresh and tasty. Literally stick it in the pan with salt, pepper and lemon juice and that's it. So delicious. I'll only be getting my fish from here from now! Incredibly well priced also.

We’re so lucky to have this new fish store open near our home! The quality of the seafood is truly outstanding — we bought some crab, and it was incredibly fresh, meaty, and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the difference. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality you get, and the service was top-notch. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and even offered us a taste of their tuna biltong — something I had never tried before, and it was amazing! As promised, here’s a photo — we really enjoyed it! Highly recommended if you’re looking for fresh, top-quality seafood and great service. We’ll definitely be back!

Stunning little shop, they have ready made snacks, I will definitely back for the snoek samosas, the mackerel pies and some of that smoked tuna biltong! YES, tuna biltong! My doggies also went nuts for tuna pet treats. My new go to spot, and though they personally dont stock it, they even helped me with a contact for bait for my next fishing trip. Such sweet folks, very welcoming and great quality food.

A really upmarket fish supplier. There are others too and this one is more expensive but the quality is superb. I have just eaten a portion of fresh Kob for lunch and it reminded me of the ones that I used to catch, cook and eat the same day that it was caught. Good selection of frozen seafood and looks pretty superior to the other local and online suppliers. They gave us some Tuna biltong to taste. Will be back for some of this.😋

What a huge bonus finding Famous Fish. We are thrilled to have your fabulous fish and products in our area 😀 I can only but highly recommend this establishment. It's the only place to buy fresh fish. Hopefully, soon, they will add fried fish to their array of yummy fish 😋
