Our journey began in 2012. Fat Fish is an Indulgence that brings together two distinct Goan flavours, The Goan Portuguese and The Hindu Saraswat Cuisines As the name suggests this place will have you purr like a content kitten.
The seafood delicacies on offer include shrimps to squids lobsters to crabs, in short we have got the oceans best on our platter. It’s really an open secret for all those who visit Goa, a place to relax and savor ones meal.
Airy, modern restaurant preparing signature Goan seafood dishes, plus thalis & tandoori fare.

Fat Fish is a fantastic spot for authentic Goan seafood! I ordered the Butter Garlic Prawns, which were incredibly flavorful but came with a lot veggies which I didn’t appreciate. The Kingfish was really soft, melted in your mouth and was served in a rich gravy. For dessert, I had an Apple Pie topped with a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream. Flavour was there but portions were on the smaller side. Highly recommend going once during your goa trip.

We recently dined at Fat Fish Restaurant and Bar and found it to be a very enjoyable experience, particularly for those who appreciate quality seafood. Although the fish and chips arrived slightly cooler than ideal, it remained impressively crispy and delivered excellent flavor. The kingfish curry with rice stood out as the highlight—richly spiced, deeply flavorful, and offering the authentic seafood taste that enthusiasts seek, complemented by a notably generous portion. The prawns masala, served with garlic naan, was equally impressive, with bold, well-balanced flavors that paired perfectly with the warm, aromatic bread. Overall, the dishes were fresh, skillfully prepared, and consistently satisfying. We would readily return and strongly recommend Fat Fish to fellow seafood lovers.

As the name of the restaurant it’s really a “Fat Fish” like accomodating restaurant with Goan vibe but poor service due so much occupancy.
Overall it’s an Ok restaurant because food quality is Good but service and atmosphere is average as guests won’t feel that welcome vibe after entering.
We waited for 10 – 15 mins as it’s very occupied in weekends in waiting zone.
The starter Fish item & main course fish item had same masala flavour which was spicy and good.
We ordered Solkadi but wasn’t the good taste as seen in Konkan side restaurants.
Tried Goan Cashew feni for first time which was good.
Our total bill was ₹1862 for 2 people which seems Ok.
Would recommend for one time visit only for alcohol drinkers only.

If you’re visiting, you can’t go wrong with any of their seafood dishes – just pick your favourite and enjoy!
Overall, great food, great family vibe, and a must-visit for seafood lovers in Calangute.

On the second last day of our trip, we really wanted to end on a perfect note with an authentic Goan fish thali. We had two recommendations — Fat Fish and Fisherman’s Wharf. So we first went to Fisherman’s Wharf, but honestly, it turned out to be a disappointing stop. The options were very limited, prices felt overpriced, the ambience was just okay, and the aroma inside was too much seafood-heavy — it didn’t feel comfortable. So we decided to skip it. Then we headed to Fat Fish, and the moment we saw the long queue, we knew the place had to be good. Luckily, since we were just two people, we got a high table pretty quickly.
And yes — it was worth it. The taste, the service, the ambience — everything was genuinely satisfying. We did have to wait a bit longer for the food to arrive, but when the thali came, it truly felt worth the wait. There are many places in Goa for a fish thali, but Fat Fish really stood out for us. Perfect way to end the trip with some amazing Goan flavours. ✨

Went to the restaurant for lunch on a public holiday. It was extremely crowded. Average waiting time was from 10-30 min. We had stuffed crab, shark and prawns rice all of which was very well prepared. The service was not that great. It took sometime for the waiter to attend to us because of the crowd. Overall worth a one time visit. They have vegetarian options as well, we tried aloo paratha and it was good.

Fat Fish, Goa delivers where it actually matters. The food is genuinely good—fresh, well-cooked, and full of flavor, not just spice for the sake of it. Every dish tastes deliberate, not rushed or generic. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, making it a good place to sit, eat, and not feel pressured to leave. Prices are fair for the quality and portion sizes, so you don’t feel ripped off. Overall, it’s worth every penny spent and stands out in a place crowded with overrated tourist traps.

Fat Fish Restaurant in Goa truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most iconic places to enjoy Food in North Goa. I recently visited and tried their Kingfish Tawa Fry and Prawns Tawa Fry, and both dishes were absolutely outstanding.
The Kingfish Tawa Fry was perfectly seasoned, cooked to a beautiful golden crisp on the outside while remaining soft and flavourful inside. Every bite had that classic Goan masala punch. The Prawns Tawa Fry were equally impressive fresh, juicy, and coated with spices that balanced heat and tang just right.
Apart from the food, the service was surprisingly quick, even though the place was quite busy. The staff was attentive and polite, making sure everything arrived on time and checking in without being intrusive.
The atmosphere is another highlight that lively yet relaxed, with a coastal charm that instantly puts you in vacation mode. Whether you’re dining with friends, family, or just stopping by for a seafood craving, the vibe here feels welcoming and enjoyable.
Overall, Fat Fish remains a must-visit dining spot in Goa, especially for seafood lovers. Delicious food, fast service, and a great atmosphere, it truly deserves all the recognition it !!

No doubt by far it’s one of the best Goan restaurant. They really serve till late afternoon. As we reached at 3 the bigger one had a wait time of 30mins so we went to the smaller one just beside it. We got a 6 seater table and ordered all the sea food starter and for mains we just ordered one plain rice n Goan prawn curry and to drink few beers and mocktails. Everything tasted so good. I can’t even forget the taste. I wish u people open in other cities. Crab, prawn, king fish, calamari all were too good.

The Goan fish thali at Fat Fish is a must-try for anyone wanting an authentic local experience. The thali was flavorful, fresh, and well-balanced, featuring perfectly cooked fish curry, crispy hot rava fry fish, steam rice, squid coconut curry, dry prawn chutney,Crab Xacuti,sol kadhi,bhindi sabji and papad. Each element reflected traditional Goan spices without being overpowering. The seafood tasted fresh, and portion sizes were satisfying. Service was quick and attentive, adding to the overall comfort. The lively Goan vibe of the restaurant enhances the meal even more. Overall, it’s a delicious, value-for-money thali that truly captures the essence of Goan coastal cuisine.
I recommend everyone to visit this place once to have a true flavour of GOAN dishes.
