If you’ve ever dreamed of a seafood platter so big it could double as a treasure chest, you’re in luck.
Black Marlin, perched near the legendary cliffs of Cape Point, isn’t playing around when it comes to ocean-fresh indulgence. Their seafood platters are the kind of meals that turn casual lunches into seaside celebrations.
Let’s break it down—because this menu reads like the who’s who of the deep blue.
🦑 Hake & Calamari Combo – R179 / R229
Your entry-level seafood win: golden-fried hake and crispy calamari strips with tartare sauce. Simple. Classic. Totally satisfying. (Upgrade to a full portion for R229 if you’re feeling fancy.)
🦐 Black Marlin Combo – R229
For those who want a bit of everything: battered hake, prawns, mussels, and calamari strips all on one plate. It’s basically a seafood sampler—aka a very delicious dilemma of where to start.
🐟 Bayside Platter for 1 – R285
Think half a catch of the day, baby calamari, five prawns, five mussels. It’s like a seaside story told through every bite. Just for you—no sharing required.
🧑🤝🧑 Neptune Platter for 2 – R455
This is your go-to for “I’ll share if you will.” Calamari strips, ten prawns, ten mussels, and catch of the day for two. Perfect for date days or foodie besties.
🦐 Wharfside Platter for 1 – R519
This one brings the big guns: crispy calamari, three king prawns, three queen prawns, ten mussels, and the day’s freshest catch. It’s a one-person power play—go solo, go strong.
🦞 Shellfish Platter – R895
Nine giant, king, and queen prawns total. If you believe prawns are the crown jewels of the sea, this is your kingdom.
🌊 Marlins Spectacular for 2 – R1250
This is it. The full feast. Catch of the day, baby calamari, four tiger prawns, eight queen prawns, twelve mussels—and views to match. It’s like throwing a party in your mouth and inviting the entire ocean.
