Something fishy going on

Which waterfront restaurant, famous for its seafood, is unlikely to be telling its guests that their special fish de jour Sole is actually frozen, not fresh?

Martin Bosley's!
Surely not?!?! I haven't tried the sole, but everything else there has seemed impeccably fresh.
Other than that, that pretty much leaves Shed 5 (unless you count Port Cafe as a "restaurant" "famous for its seafood"), or somewhere further from the CBD.
Fisherman's Table!
"famous for its seafood"? Surely you jest?!
I cannae think of anything else for which it is known!
Meals from $12.95. It's famous!
I've often thought that it is odd that the Band Rotunda would appear to be the perfect spot for a nice restaurant. Yet there has never been a decent one there.
Ditto teh Tugboat ;)
I would love to see one of those flash young things who open bars etc. with ironically dry, banal names (Motel, Sandwiches, Shopping) to open a restaurant there and call it Band Practice.
Bond Street Fish and Chips?
Valentine's! With their Seafood Buffet Extravaganza!
Oh no wait, my bad, that's not seafront. Or perhaps it was, in the olden days?
How does the Fisherman's Table actually survive? Is it just backpacker's custom keeping it open? I went there by mistake once about 5 years ago when I first arrived in Wellington & was astonished at how awful the food was. Surely something can be done Kerry. Choc Fish 2? With a live band on top?
Hear hear!!!!
Choc Fish II would totally rock in that place.
In fact, the more I think of it the more it seems totally natural and that the F Table is squatting in someone else's spot!
First rule of restaurants worldwide: the more iconic, unique, spectacular or highly desirable the location, the more crap the food. It never fails.
