I spent several days looking online for a local seafood restaurant that had good food (ie. great reviews) but in a reasonable price range because… well… the budget. It was a bit of a mission, and I almost resorted to dipping into my savings to satisfy my seafood craving when a friend saved the day by recommending Big Fish Eatery in Penrose.
I looked it up online and was surprised by how local this restaurant is to me – my neighbourhood is not exactly renown for culinary delights. I was also encouraged by its wallet-friendly menu, but I still wasn’t convinced the food here would take care of my special level of seafood addiction.
The verdict?
It worked. Big Fish Eatery has a lovely selection of cleverly presented seafood treats. After a soft shell crab appetiser, I went big and ordered the mixed sashimi platter, which was perfect…and has deviously whetted my curiosity regarding all the other seafood dishes on the menu. I have to go back now to try the ceviche, the salmon carpaccio and salmon teriyaki, plus the tartare’d and tataki’d tuna, etc.
Big Fish’s menu also has plenty of non-oceanic treats for the less seafood inclined diners in your party. I really liked the karaage chicken and the pork belly prawn papaya salad that I stole from my friend’s plates.
But all my fellow fish-afficionado’s should rest assured: the name ‘Big Fish Eatery’ is not clickbait. This restaurant is definitely a place you can go to see about that seafood craving of yours.
