After our detox, so to speak, at the Mayfair Spa we decided to head to the Cape Town Fish Market sushi train. I’ve wanted to eat at the Cape Town Fish Market for a while though admittedly it was more to try their main dishes than the sushi. Still sushi seemed liked the best thing to eat after such a decadent day – rather than anything too heavy or rich.

We got there just after 3 and when we first walked in, despite there being not many people in the restaurants and quite a few waiters/waitresses about, we were left to stand around at the entrance for quite a long while. We decided to take the initiative and went to go sit at the sushi bar and it was only at this time that we were finally paid attention to. Not a good start!

Thankfully after that service improved somewhat including a very entertaining sushi chef.

The sushi bar at Cape Town Fish Market works pretty similarly to that at Yo Sushi – plates are coloured by price. Its as simple as that. You can also order straight from the menu from the chef rather than wait for your selected dish to come around. I would say that the Yo Sushi sushi selections are more well-rounded than at Cape Town Fish Market as it includes many dishes outside of fish. However at Cape Town Fish Market they do more spins using core ingredients of tuna, salmon and prawn if that makes sense. There dishes also use a lot more of that yummy Japanese mayonnaise.

Despite the somewhat limited selection of sushi both going around the belt and on the menu Sandra and I had no problems filling our bellies. I was so full when I left (I guess its all that rice) that I was about ready to fall asleep! My favourite selections were the Wasabi Parcels and the Creme Brulee dessert. Very yummy.

Oh – there is one further positive at Cape Town Fish Market – they offer low salt Soy Sauce! Finally, I would advise you to take advantage of the 50% offer at their sushi bar whilst it lasts – its great value for money.
