Swakopmund Travel Forum

We will be touring in Namibia later in the year in a 4WD with a large portable fridge/freezer on board. We will be spending one night in Swakopmund and, with the limited availability of food supplies elsewhere, we would like to stock up with some of the excellent local fish - white fish, shellfish, lobsters, anything that comes from the sea! Can anyone give me the names and addresses of where we can buy fish (retail not restaurant). We would like as many addresses as we can get, since it is amazing how often the place one is told turns out to be closed at the day and time we get there.

I think you need to look more at buying in Walvis Bay, which is a quick drive from Swakop. The fishing boats come into the harbour in Walvis Bay.

I will try and find out some names for you.

Mike

You can charter a boat to go fishing for not much money or even fish from the pier. In a couple hours a friend caught enough for 10 of us to have a feast and the guys from the charter boat cleaned everything and delivered it to the hotel for us.
