Review Sea Spirit Fish Market - East London

Absolutely stunning venue. There are views from below the bridge of the river and docks where sea rescue is based. Their food is as fresh as it gets with them also being a fish market they catch daily. On entering one might have a short waiting period due to Sea rescue operation being prioritized in the dock. However it is certainly worth it. Staff are friendly and accommodating however don't take reservations which is understandable as they can get quite busy. I highly recommend this stop on your trip in East London.

I had the fish burger here and it was delicious!! The place was busy with moms and dads watching the regatta but we managed to find a table to eat from. Service was great and the toilets nice and clean. It’s always a pleasure coming to eat here. One point to notice is the parking needs to be upgraded as after the rain it was one slushy mess!!

Their seafood is top notch! The staff are friendly and the service was quick (even though it was over a weekend and there were quite a lot of people)! And of course, the view over the Buffalo River and bridges are great!

The food is very good and fresh. It is a old rustic building that relates to fisherman style, however, I would like to see some basic revamping done to the building - Not much, but a good paint job or basic modernization will go a long way. Never the less, I will return.

What a find ! We intended to buy fresh fish and ended up having a feast. A well coordinated production line of golden calamari strip and crunchy fries and plump portions of fish left a squeeky clean kitchen and as we sat...the place just filled up with guests for lunch. Fresh salad finished off the feast ...and the views are to die for. A deep green river and riverbank and ships scuffling in and out the harbour. What a gem. We left with fresh Yellow tail and hake....to take home to Gauteng. Please carry on with the good food and good vibes...untill we meet again December .

Fantastic fresh fish and excellent chips. Basically, a fish market / take away with a sit down area on the Buffalo River. Watch the guys clean and gut your fish, get it grilled or deep fried, grab a bottle of your favorite from the well-stocked bar, secure a spot outside, and ENJOY

Great place for good fish at good prices. Too popular, so they sell out quickly. The staff is helpful and friendly and even prepare your fish the way you want it. There is a restaurant too, looked good, but we didn’t eat there. Beautiful spot on the river to the harbor.

A must visit seafood restaurant in East-London. With views of the yacht club and water it makes for an ideal setting to enjoy the freshly prepared meals. Each dish was prepared to perfection and the owner and staff was ready to assist with any questions. Suggest that reservations are made over weekends to secure your spot for a great dining experience.

An absolutely lovely place to dine at and let your hair down after a very long and hot day. I enjoyed the food as well at the beautiful view.

A gem of a place. Best fish and chips by far. So much better than expected.

This restaurant is absolutely a place to visit. It's very rustic, and all the staff are friendly, the food was delicious and not a long wait either. They also have a shop where they sell their fresh fish. It was so peaceful, with a beautiful view. I'll definately go back

What a amazing gem. The food was so delicious, just thinking about this place makes me want to ensure that everyone knows about it.

Good seafood at very affordable prices. Nice setting with view on the Buffalo River. Bar facilities available. Fresh fish available that they gut and clean on site.

Latimers' landing 2.0. The fish market has always been a go to place for the freshest fish in town. With the opening of their eatery and take aways, the Sea Spirit fish market is rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative fish meals over lunch or lazy Saturday mornings. They also have their own bar.

Great experience and friendly service. Good range of well priced FRESH fish. They have their own boat bringing in regular catches when the weather is good. A bit old worldly which adds something...

A special surprise through the road to the fish market The colours and taste of the fish The fresh catch. The atmosphere makes forget the crowded roads. Absolutely to try

Great food and service was excellent as well. Definitely should be on your list if you enjoy seafood and enjoy a more relaxed rustic atmosphere.

Awesome experience. The freshest fish I've tasted in ages, friendly staff and who can complain about the amazing view and fresh air. It's a big thumbs up from me👍

Went to this place for some grilled hake and snoek with some friends. I must say this is the best grilled fish I have had and very affordable. Stayed on after the fish for some drinks with friends. What a great host the owner is, will definitely visit this place more often!

Our experience was amazing! The food was delicious, the staff is super friendly, we loved the relaxed environment and its really affordable. I would really recommend them to anyone!

Fresh fish and chip's and calamari great. Beautiful view, watched the rowing. Never fails to disappoint. Value for money.

1 hour 40 minutes for a take away fish, chips and calamari. Not worth the wait in my opinion.

Delicious food, lovely venue! I wouldn't change a thing, except for the management. The worst managed restuarant I have ever come across in SA. It took 1 hour 45 minutes for 3 pieces of fried hake and 2 portions of chips. This place has so much potential, pity it is under-utilised.

Great food, great value, don't expect a 5 star restaurant with 5 star service though, very relaxed vibe and it just adds to the great atmosphere. Definitely a regular choice for me.

Come here every year from Thabazimbi Limpopo to buy fish when we are in Eastlonden had the best calamari for breakfast this morning!!!

very good. Value for money. Taste is just as good. Ambiance is attractive. With Buffalo river at your door step how can the backdrop fail.

Fish was great! Definately worth going to. Had calamari the previous time which was also very good - will be back!

My favourite place for Sunday lunch in EL!!! Thank you for making my birthday with my friends this Sunday so so special, you went above and beyond and I am so grateful - you now have 10 more fans!!!

Truly a hidden jem.. hands down best Calamari in town. You cant get fresher fish.. Good job guys. Awesome service.

Lovely lovey lovey very much on point fresh fish and the pricing is just perfect

Awesome Fish & Chips and Calamari and Chips. Recommend for a family meal anyday. Good humoured customers and staff.

My son told us about Sea Spirit Fish Market..and we have been there quite a few times..the fish and calamari is fresh and delicious..atmosphere sitting outside looking at the river is so restful..we will surely be back ..

Awesome fresh fish, salads and fish cakes absolutely fantastic....very rustic little pub and outside area�

This must be the best fried fish in town. A W E S O M E and fresh from the sea. Cannot get any fresher at all.

Best fresh fish & chips...even beats any Cape Town fish & chips hands down
