Something Fishy

Pretoria's relationship with seafood dining has shifted over the past decade. The city sits inland—no docks, no fishing boats—yet Something Fishy operates in a Pretoria where access to fresh fish has become a legitimate expectation rather than an occasional luxury. This reflects broader changes in how the city eats: more diverse, more connected to supply chains that run through Durban and Cape Town, less purely braai-and-pap focused than the stereotype suggests. Pretoria's growing cosmopolitan appetite means seafood restaurants now compete alongside traditional grillhouses, and venues that can navigate both the logistics of inland fish supply and the competition from established players have carved out real space. The restaurant sits in a city that's quietly become more food-conscious than it was.
