Review Deep Blue Fish Company - Durban

For a year now, I've danced with joy at the fishy wonders that Barthos bestows upon my top-notch restaurant in Durban. Oh, the array of fresh fish that tickle my taste buds and make my customers swoon! Never have I met disappointment on my fishy journey, for Barthos knows how to deliver quality and service like few other in KZN. I have a theory, my dear friend, that the owners of Barthos are the true heroes of the sea. When they're not meticulously handling orders with their team, they're out there on the fishing boats, battling the waves and reeling in the catch with ( probably) their bare hands. Hardcore, I tell you! No wonder their fish are so fresh and fabulous. Now, let me share a little secret with you. I don't get any fancy discounts for my bulk purchases. Nope! I pay retail, just like any other fish-loving soul. Whether I'm indulging in a piece of tantalising tuna or going all out for the whole catch, the price remains the same. But let me assure you, my friend, it's worth every penny. Barthos never fails to impress. So, if you're a fish fanatic like me, don't deny yourself the pleasure any longer. Make your way to their store in Durban North and let the fishy wonders of Barthos transport you to a world of flavour and delight. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

The best place to buy fresh fish in Durban. I would go so far as to say the only place if you want flavour, quality, and to know how and where your fish was caught. I am on their Whatsapp list and the Bartho brothers, who catch and source the fish, send out regular messages to say what they've caught, what's in stock... They bring in oysters from Knysna too. I live a distance from them so when I go there, I buy a few meals worth, try different kinds, take it home and freeze what I won't eat that day. I expect because of the way it is caught and fileted and deboned and packed and its freshness, it tastes as fresh as never-frozen when I defrost it to eat. Gratitude!

Bartho's whatsapp group lets you know what fresh fish is available and when they have fresh oysters in stock. Small but excellent quality fresh and frozen seafood selection. Love the frozen curry sauce. Their sushi is always fresh and super affordable.

The absolute best fresh fish in KZN.

Freshest fish in town. Top quality which will tantalize your taste buds, pamper your palates and give you a gastronomical experience. The shop is maintained in pristine condition at all times. We are spoiled for the diversity we can choose from : slinger, englishmen, tuna, hake, mackerel, salmon, cracker ,etc. We are give notice on whatsapp as soon as a catch arrives at the shop. Meticulous preparation while you wait.When cooking the aroma comes waftingly along stimulatingt the olfactory cells and gastric juices. If you want Something Fishy that is vicious delicious Barthos is the place to get it.

The best Fishmonger in Durban. Excellent quality and excellent service.

This is the cleanest fish shop you will find. If you closed your eyes you would not think that it is one. So well sanatized and neatly packed makes for an easy shopping experience. Also the lovely lady is so so helpful and has great advice regarding the different types of seafood. I was skeptical as to buying a cleaned and deveined prawn as they are sometimes tough, she assured me how well they cook and told me to bring them back of I'm not happy as she was so sure and I cooked them and they were absolutely tender. I don't think I've tried anything I didn't like. From the calamari tubes(tastes like restaurant quality by the way), prawns, crayfish, soles, langos. All amazing

The best fish shop, possibly in the country. My weekly visit never disappoints and now have discovered they make the best Poke bowls in Durban. Beyond tasty and actually the best priced I have found. Definitely worth a visit!

Best fresh seafood, selection of fresh fish amazing, Elsa and Cindy are such delightful people always a pleasure to deal with. This place is super clean, and new premises are beautiful. I receive a WhatsApp whenever fresh fish comes in, phone in my order, and it’s ready for me to pick up when I’m ready! A big thanks to Daryl and his team.

Freshest fish in Durban and the best sushi and poke bowls by far - I shop here every week and have never been disappointed

Best fresh fish in KZN. Always super clean and tidy. And the staff are really friendly too!

It's the only place I buy fish from. It's clean and doesn't smell and the fish is excellent quality. Because it's sustainably caught, don't expect to have loads of fresh fish every day, but most days there's plenty. I suggest getting on their whatsapp group or calling ahead. It's sort of ruined all other fish shops for me.

Barthos never fails with their amazing quality of fresh fish. Even from frozen, you can still taste the quality. Always a pleasure dealing with their staff. They have a wonderful range in store, plus now serving some tasty sushi. Whether it's fish, shellfish or calamari, you can never go wrong with Barthos Fish Co. From sea to plate, nothing tastes more great!

We go every year when we come on holiday! Best place to buy fresh fish at competitive prices. We will always buy our fish etc from Bartho's Fish Co. You choose what you want and it gets filleted while you wait, else call ahead and pick up when you get there for convenience! Brilliant

I personally get updates when the fresh fish is caught. I phone in and give my order. They package it and await my arrival. That is excellent service. This establishment has their own boats. So anything fresher is still swimming in the ocean!

BARTHO'S has undoubtedly reframed the traditional image of a fish shop for me. It is impeccably clean; clinically so👌🏻. Frozen items are neatly arranged and well organised in the freezers. You can clearly see what is available, hence no need to open them unnecessarily. I particularly like the fact that the fridges that contain the fresh fish items are not stocked to capacity because you then know that what you see is the freshest fish available. The staff are not only very knowledgable but helpful and accommodating. A newly established flower bed at the entrance with rose standards makes it even more inviting. The simplicity of the graphic design of their logo is impressive and is effectively complemented by the minimalistic interior. Apart from being able to purchase fresh fish, it is delightful to simply experience visiting such a fish shop.

My late husband was a big fisherman so enjoyed just out of the sea fresh fresh fish. Barthos was recommend by a friend. A Whatsap arrives on my phone giving me a list of their daily catch and all I have to do is pick up the phone to their friendly staff and order my choice of fish and pop in to collect it. Nothing tastes better than just cooked fresh fish.

Very clean and a whole range of seafood varieties available.

Fresh fish. Great service. Nice variety. Get there early if you want the best choices. A bit pricey, but quality and freshness make it so worth it.
