If you l9ve seafood, this is the place to go! I had the Scallop & Crab Tortellini which was delicious, but if you don't heat be sure to ask to not have chilli - it has quite a bit of kick! My friend had the Risotto, which I had a taste of & that was also incredibly tasty. I had the Barcelona Mule cocktail, which was divine - a slightly sweeter take on the traditional Moscow Mule. My friend had the Spicy Margarita which she absolutely loved.

New Year's Eve! Sodafish produced outstanding food and a lovely NYE experience - generally very well organised and in a great setting overlooking the port. Even though we booked to be outside we were seated inside, which was a little disappointing, but we were able to look out and witness the amazing fireworks. We have eaten at Sodafish on numerous occasions but this event was a first - hopefully they will do it again next NYE!

A great experience. Limited menu choices. (4 mains) but considering it was NYE. Totally understandable. Will go back to check out the full menu. Meals were generous and flavoursome. Service was efficient and friendly. A unique experience.

Great New Years Set Menu. The flathead crudo was well presented and delicious, the bbq octopus was melt in the mouth tender and wonderfully spiced, the flathead pea risotto was amazing and the ocean perch spaghetti puttanesca was very good. Staff were very attentive and friendly, and ambience was lovely.
