Our Commitment

Choosing the right spot for fresh seafood in Durban shouldn’t be a gamble. The Starfish was founded on the belief that fast food should never compromise on quality. By setting up shop at the historic Wilson’s Wharf, we’ve committed to being a part of the city’s vibrant maritime culture.

We source our ingredients with care, ensuring that every piece of hake and every  prawn meets our high standards before it reaches your box. Our kitchen is designed for speed, but our cooking methods are traditional—ensuring that the batter is always light and the fish is always flaky. We aren’t just serving a meal; we are serving a Durban tradition of excellence.
