    The rock cod fish sandwich is a delicious surprise. So much so we have gone back to get it again - I like it with extra slaw. The service is really friendly, such that it makes you happy to give the Fishwife your business.

    Second time in a row the fish was overcooked and dry. It’s a seafood restaurant. They should know how to cook fish.

    We had the coconut shrimp, green lip mussels, and prawns and chips. Delicious. We were welcomed immediately, treated like we were special, and had a wonderful dining experience.

    I ordered the Sole Piccata and it did not disappoint! So tender and the sauce was superb! Also had a cup of their clam chowder and that was so yummy. Hubby ordered the Pesto Pasta and enjoyed it very much. We love their habanero sauce and put it on all our dishes, I even bought a bottle to take home. Staff was super nice and attentive we can’t wait to return! Thank you Fishwife for a wonderful experience and deeelicious food!
