Next stop: Fish Hoek, a coastal suburb of Cape Town on the False Bay side of the Cape Peninsula. We had lunch with an ocean view at the Harbour House restaurant. They were celebrating Mother’s Day, too!


There was a section of our lunch menu that was almost like the stereotypical Chinese restaurant menus. Instead of “one from column A and one from column B,” we first picked how we wanted our fish prepared and then we picked which fish we wanted served. Mother chose Chardonnay and I chose Salsa Verde for our preparation; she chose hake and I tried cob (cobia) for our fish.
We did not order any lobster. Though equally expensive, what South Africans call lobster we would call a giant crayfish.
