So we chose Gansbaai Vismark thinking we would be getting fresh fish because it's based on the harbour. They only had hake fillets, no middelcuts a clear indication that fish is pre-packed frozen fish like the ones you buy yourself at Visfabriek.. except that you pay R92 for them to fry it for you. The two ladies infront made us feel unwelcome not attending to us as friendly as they did the other customers. They became agitated when my sister said she ordered two hakes and not snoek and when I asked for a middelcut hake portion. If fish was fresh there would have been different variety of cuts available. I don't think my review will make any difference to their service because I don't think they cater for our coloured people. When food was done she sent one of the friers to bring it to us, but she came to bring the German tourists fish personally to them even said and I quote: "thank you, you lovely people!" We decided to leave and not eat there after which she then came out to inform us that the food doesn't have any salt and vinegar on and that we should put it on ourself! The fish tasted okay, but I've had better much better.. they can learn a lot from Mike's fisheries in Somerset West and Oceana 1&2 in Strand and Gordonsbay! We pay and our money has the same value as other customers so we should get the same services! I can't believe that you still get these type of people in 2024! I would never go back there and I wont recommend them to anyone especially to any people of colour! As I teach my learners at school: You may forget what was said or what was done, but you will never forget how people...

We paid R130 for the snoek and R260 for the salmon. We arrived home with a rotten snoek and a yellowtail fis instead of salmon. The snoek seems like it has been in the freezer for a long period of time and the salmon was not salmon. I wonder what in the Mickey Mouse shop are they running. I mean you can't treat your customers like that, what's frustrating is that we stay in Cape Town so we couldn't take it back when we got home because it was...
Read moreHeard a lot about Vismark fish and chips. For the price you get a fair amount of chips, but a very small portion of fish. Compared to other places they are very expensive. All the places we bought fish and chips, served a portion of lemon slices, but no lemon served with their fish and chips. The fish also has a very thick oily batter. Not good quality fish and chips. I'd rather recomend Fish barrel or if you are willing to drive to Hermanus, the Foodlovers market has the most value for money on...
