Seafood, Sorted: Black Marlin’s Platters Are a Feast Worth Diving Into

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.

  • For something light yet satisfying, the hake and calamari combinations are a popular choice, pairing golden fried hake with tender calamari strips and homemade tartare. These are ideal if you’re craving a straightforward seafood fix without going overboard.
  • If you’re after a more rounded seafood experience, the Black Marlin Combo brings together battered hake, prawns, mussels and calamari, offering a taste of the ocean in one plate. It’s a great introduction to the restaurant’s platter-style dining.
  • The Bayside and Neptune platters step things up a notch, featuring catch of the day alongside prawns, mussels and calamari. These are designed for sharing and work well for relaxed, long lunches overlooking the water.
  • For serious seafood lovers, Black Marlin also offers indulgent shellfish-forward platters, showcasing premium prawns, crayfish and mussels. These are bold, celebratory spreads made for special occasions or when you’re in the mood to splurge.

Why People Can’t Get Enough:

  • Fresh-from-the-sea flavour that hits every time

  • A mix of prawns, mussels, calamari, and catch-of-the-day combos

  • Views that taste just as good as the food

  • Big portions = big smiles

Whether you’re treating someone special or treating yourself, Black Marlin’s platters are a true taste of the Cape. Go hungry, bring friends, and prepare to eat like Poseidon himself.
