Burrrrp !...Now being a foodie i've been to many restraunts in Bangalore , tried and tasted every thing that seemed or looked strange in the Menu , but of all i must say that Hotel Fishland in gandhinagar close to the KG Bus Station ( diagonally opposite to another landmark and famous Hotel called Kamat ..famous for its Bakri Roti and Brinjal curry ) ..is the BeSt for SEAFOOD !
Taking a look at the decor it seems like a Hotel set up in the mid 70's ..i vaguely remember my Dad bringing us here for those once in a while dine outs !! . the food is exceptional !...I dont mind starving to come here for a meal !..
coming now to the Important details .....
The humble waiters here dont wear any footwear , i sense that they respect and honour their profession and believe that coustomer satisfacion is their main objective
The food is authentic manglorish , with coconut being an ingredint part of every dish they serve ..heres what you have to try !
Crab masala ...Rs 70/-
Crab Chilly ...Rs 110/- ( a must Have !..trust me on this ..its worth every penny you pay !! )
Maravai Sukka( Mussels ) ..Rs 55
All the above dishes are secretly gaurded recepies . the Maravai Sukka has a generous helping of Garlic ,coconut and lots of Mussels !!!..for a throw away price of 55 bucks !!...
coming to Fish...,..
Surma.....Rs 100/-
Kane (called lady lady Fish ) ...Rs 100/-
Samdale fish ...Rs 70/-
Silver Fish ... " " /-
The above are typically manglorie and well known ...
you could have these with a Thali , that costs 100/-.or simply keep ordering the above dishes one after the other !!!...
5 stars for the concern shown by the waiters , ..these guys are from towns in Mangalore and the owner sees to it that they come from that Innocent city !!...they 'd easily put to shame all those waiters having degrees and wht not !!..
Ambience ...ah forget it , i'd come here even if there isnt any !!
Food--- excellent
Price ---reasonable starts from Rs 60 and goes upto Rs 350 /- (for some dishes )
Service ---Humbling ...you will want to give him all that gratitude in the end !

I drove to Gandhinagar for dinner, Fishland being our destination. Truth be told, this is a very difficult review to write, I'll run out of adjectives and superlatives way too soon. Instead, I will describe the meal and state that this is quite possibly the best seafood you can get in Bangalore, although you'd have to like the Manglorean style of cooking to fully appreciate this.
The entrance has a chart of everything you could possibly order. Or not. We started with some Rawa Fried Kane. I like that they use a very fine grade of rava, much more flavour and texture, needless to say the fish had pretty much jumped from sea to pan.
Our main course, if you can call it that, was a Prawn Biriyani, served with a wonderful kokum based coconut milk infused curry. I can do no better than to quote a friend who said that the prawns are like finding little jewels amongst perfectly cooked and spiced rice. Or something to that effect.
Since gluttony is something I do well, we also ordered a Masala Fried Prawn, which was perfect in every way...and a Masala Fried Slice Of Seer Fish, which was also fabulous. (See, I told you this was a difficult review.)
