Apart from the negative things that have been happening in KZN, with the floods and all, there are some positive things to look forward to.
And, what better way to lighten the mood than to eat some good seafood.
Phelisa Mangcu, CEO of Ugu South Coast Tourism, states: ‘’There is such a wonderful cultural fusion along the KZN South Coast that results in a wide variety of delicious food offerings.”
“While visitors enjoy a taste of the local seafood flavours, they can take in the stunning ocean views and even catch sight of the Sardine Run or annual whale migration that takes place in these cooler months.
Now is the time to take that well-deserved seaside break and enjoy the many fish eateries along the KZN South Coast,” says Mangcu.
Below is a list of the top fish eateries in KZN for you and your loved ones to feast on.
1. C- Bali Restaurant, St Micheal’s Beach
While taking in the ocean views and enjoying the relaxed beachside venue, visitors can try some of the freshest seafood or the restaurant’s speciality sushi made by their award-winning sushi chef.
And if you’re in the mood for a vibrant, tasty drink, you can wash it down with a delicious cocktail. C-Bali’s craft gin bar has the largest selection of craft spirits on the KZN South Coast.
