BEST SEAFOOD RESTAURANT IN DURBAN? HERE’S WHY UMDLOTI LOCALS CHOOSE TIGHTLINE

Fresh From the Sea, Straight to Your Table

The Tightline menu is a celebration of the ocean, bringing together fresh seafood, generous portions and flavours designed for sharing.

Start with oysters, pickled octopus carpaccio or tuna tartare, then work your way through fresh line fish, kingklip, deep-sea hake and Falklands calamari, including crispy calamari heads and tubes.

Craving prawns? You’re in the right place. Choose from tempura prawns, flame-grilled king prawns, langoustines and crayfish with plenty of buttery, flame-kissed goodness in between.

And then there’s the sushi. From salmon, tuna and prawn nigiri and sashimi to colourful maki, rolls and poke bowls, Tightline brings a fresh sushi offering to the table alongside its seafood favourites.

When pasta is calling, the Chilli Prawn Aglio Olio brings the heat, while the creamy seafood linguine is loaded with mussels, prawns and calamari.

Fresh seafood, sushi and seriously good coastal flavours. This is where the ocean meets your table.

More Than Just Seafood

Not everyone at the table is a seafood person and that’s exactly why there’s plenty more to discover at Tightline.

For the beef lovers, there’s the Chuck Burger, stacked with melted cheddar, caramelised onions and truffle aioli on a sesame brioche bun.

The Chicken Burger brings crispy fried chicken, caramelised onions and Japanese slaw, while the Parmesan & Panko Chicken delivers that perfect crunchy coating, finished with shredded green slaw and your choice of garlic aioli or mushroom sauce.

And for something a little more refined, there’s The Bugzy - Cured Beef Carpaccio, served on wild mushroom arancini with Parmesan shavings, truffle oil and confit garlic aioli.

So while seafood might be the star of the show, there’s something for every appetite at Tightline.
