I’ve been to Fishsteria like 5x, but besides a somewhat forgettable brunch (AYCE pickled fish though yum) I’ve never tried any of their a la carte menu. We go for their amazing 10$ oyster happy hour (with one drink) that I cannot recommend enough, and then go somewhere else for dinner after. We do that because their menu is not cheap. Appetizers are around HKD 200 and main courses scale to HKD 600 and beyond. Last week however we failed for the 5th (!) time to try Francis (that place is ALWAYS p
Last week however we failed for the 5th (!) time to try Francis (that place is ALWAYS packed… is the food that good?) and Fishsteria was right around the corner so we gave it a shot. I’m certainly glad we did. The dishes are familiar – burrata, ceviche, fried calamari, grilled octopus, but they add some interesting twists to each dish and the overall result is delicious. Here’s what we had:
Tuna ceviche with crème and cherry tomatoes – not sour as expected and savory-rich with the crème and garnish. Much better than expected – and tuna ceviche I always expect to be delicious
Burrata with anchovies, cherry tomatoes and basil – if you like these ingredients, you’ll love this dish. I did wonder how burrata would work with anchovies, but it absolutely does. Decadent and delicious.

Fried calamari – recommended by the restaurant with good reason – perfectly fried with a light batter layer, it’s just a bit of crunch before the calamari, which is cooked to springy-bitey perfection. Fantastic must-try dish – it’s massive though so make sure you have 2-3 people.

Grilled octopus with padron peppers - served with a kind of hummus and paprika, the combination really works. That said, it’s hard to improve on grilled octopus, which is already perfect. Excellent but you can skip this for more interesting stuff.
Uni pasta – my friend loved it, but I found it a little blah – for the price (300+) I didn’t think it was worth it. Uni stuff needs the ocean-flavor of the urchin came across more strongly.
I’m tempted to call Fishsteria fine dining for the prices they charge, but their menus is somewhat more casual, which puts it in a strange place. That said, it's expensive but the pricing is just about right – the portions are generous and the execution is excellent They’ve been around forever so it’s clearly working, but not sure under what circumstances I’d come again. I do think it’s worth a try though, if you have an occasion to celebrate or just want a great date night (and definitely go for the oyster happy hour!)
