Kalky's Fish & Chips
Kalky's
An affordable seafood shack by the Kalk Bay harbor, opened in 1996, famous for its battered hake and snoek served with chips.
Opened in 1996 inside the Kalk Bay harbor, this is a casual, cabin-style seafood eatery. The signature dish is battered and fried hake or local South African snoek served with chips, alongside calamari, yellowtail, lobster, and prawns. The seafood platters are generous and easily shared by two. Order at the counter and wait for your number to be called, then sit at long tables with plastic tablecloths. The atmosphere is very casual, and it gets busy on weekends. Operating hours vary by source, closing around 19:00–20:00, and may be affected by the weather. It is far from the city center, so driving or taking a taxi is recommended.
Opening hours
Daily 10:00 to around 19:00–20:00 (official website states 20:00, other sources mostly state 19:00)
