Lunch at Mariner's Wharf

We walked up to Mariners’ Wharf to have lunch. This world-renowned seafood restaurant has been in business since the 1970s. They serve whatever is freshly-caught that day. The kitchen is open to be seen by the public, and, downstairs, they have their own smokehouse and bakery. Mark had mussels to start, and I had home-smoked snoek pâté served with a lovely seeded bread. We both ordered fish and chips for main course. It was hake – absolutely delicious! I have to say that the batter and the chips weren’t a patch on the ones served in Salty’s, Mablethorpe, though! 😂

After lunch, we bought a seeded loaf to have with cheese later, and then caught the bus back to the waterfront. Before going back to the hotel, we picked up some last minute essentials from Pick and Pay as we don’t know what the shopping will be like in Namibia.Read more
