Ooskus Fisheries is ideally located near the sea-shore so you are guaranteed to be served only the freshest catch of the day. In fact, they are known for serving the best fish and chips and calamari in the Gordon’s Bay area.

I decided to taste the Large Combo Meal from their menu and it is fair to say that I got a lot more than I was expecting. A tasty grouping of hake and calamari as well as chips was my selection. Needless to say, I was also pleasantly surprised by the generous portion that was served.
