Seafood restaurant Tightline to open first Joburg branch this July

Tightline Seafood Restaurant is bringing a fresh wave of coastal dining to Joburg. The chic seafood concept, which first launched as a family fisheries business in 1991, opens its first Johannesburg branch this July. 

Jozi might be some 500km from the nearest shoreline, but that hasn't stopped the city from developing a serious appetite for great seafood. Already a KZN favourite, Tightline is set to bring its coastal cool to Sandton with a menu of fresh line fish, sushi, oysters, prawns and towering seafood platters, paired with icy cocktails and a stylish setting that goes far beyond your typical fishmonger retail experience.

At the helm of it all is Tyler Loomes, whose family has spent more than three decades in the fishing trade - meaning the journey from ocean to plate is part of the restaurant's DNA.

You'll find the new Joburg outpost at 25 Minerva Avenue, Sandton Gate, bringing a taste of the KZN coast to the heart of Sandton.
