Travel without local food , is injurious to fulfilment of tour. And Goa is famous for its cuisine, made up of Cokum and coconut with fresh sea products, crab, squid , and variety of sea fishes.

The restaurant Fat Fish was suggested to us by the driver of our taxi when we asked him where good Goan Non-Veg food was available. It is near Baga and was not far from our hotel. The restaurant opens at around 12 noon.

We reached around 12.30 pm for lunch. We were lucky to grab the last table. The huge dining hall was already full to the brim. We were amazed to see that there was continuous inflow of eaters. A big bodied person had to stand at the entrance as a door stopper to control the ever increasing crowd. Then we saw that a lady came out with a pad to note down the names serially.

The Jam packed hall was live with hungry crowd, Goan song and aroma of food around, mixed with sultry smell of live fish. We placed the order for our lunch and waited patiently for it to arrive. The statement of the house is very clear, at least half an hour waiting period, after placement of order. We found that it was justified, because each and every dish needed individual preparation time and process, which is desirable.

The Menu card was a unique one, it serially listed the names of the items. But we found it difficult to understand the names. You can see the same in the Photo of a page I am presenting here. But the waiter was good and he translated the names to us. We ordered Goan Seafood thali, and he explained the meaning of every dish. Menu card does not contain the rate of each and every item, like lobsters. A fresh live piece is brought from the aquarium and cooked when ordered and the rate of the dish depends on the size of it.

The food was extremely tasty and each item had a unique taste…it was worth the waiting time for the food to arrive.

Foods we enjoyed no doubt, but sitting there for an hour in a crampy hall with noise of people talking, over and above the loud music makes the taste of the food pale .

Tasty foods...service was great..prices were ok.
The location was too good..despite crowded still you got your food on time..
They have this cute family cat..

I visited this restaurant but couldn't handle the attitude of their staffs who by their looks is not better than shrinked prawns.
Please visit Lazy fish restaurant, the food and the homely atmosphere will make you go there again and again

We visited twice in 2 days. One night for dinner and next day for lunch.That would make it clear how much we enjoyed the food. On both occasions there was a waiting queue, but we got our table in 10 minutes. Over the 2 meals we had Tandoori Prawns, Rawa fried fish ,Prawn curry rice and biryani.All items were very good and the service was prompt with smile.

Someone recommended this place for authentic goan veg unknown to the fact that I was vegetarian, but I must say. the staff and service were exceptionally good. The person who waited our table helped us through the menu and suggested us some excellent xacuti and good accompaniments.

A highly recommended restaurant for people who want to try authentic Goan cuisine.
