How the board works
Four rules we never break.
Only what landed today
If it did not come off a boat at Ibeno, Oron or Eket this morning, or out of the Itu ponds, it is not on the board. Yesterday's fish goes to the smoker or the staff pot.
Weighed whole, priced by the kilo
You pay for the weight of the fish before it is cleaned and cooked. A 1 kg croaker comes to the table at about 700 g.
Rubbed out when it is gone
The kilos left fall through the day. On Fridays the lobster rarely lasts past eight.
Ask to see it
Any fish on the board can be brought to your table raw before it goes on the grill.
Where it comes from
Three beaches, two ponds, one road.

Questions
About the board.
Can I order from the board for delivery?
Yes. Build a plate here, add it to your bag and choose delivery. We deliver across Uyo from 12 noon to 9pm.
Can I hold a fish for tonight?
Yes, with a table booking. Choose the fish in step three of the booking and we put it aside with your name on it until 30 minutes after your booking time.
Why do prices change?
We pay what the boats ask that morning. Calm seas mean more fish and lower prices; rough weeks cost more. The board always shows today's price.
Is anything frozen?
Nothing on the board. Our prawns for the suya skewers are fresh too; only the ice cream is frozen.
I am allergic to shellfish. Is that safe?
Tell your server. We grill shellfish on its own side of the grill and use separate pans, but the kitchen does handle shellfish all day.
