De Bluefin Seafood Restaurant
₹₹ Mid-range
The place for fresh seafood in Pondicherry. The Bay of Bengal catch arrives daily: tawa-fried fish, grilled prawns, crab, lobster, and squid masala on a single shared platter.
Pondicherry sits on the Bay of Bengal and has a working fishing community. De Bluefin is where that fact translates into a meal. The kitchen buys what comes off the boats and cooks it straightforwardly: fried, grilled, or in a masala.
The signature seafood platter brings together tawa-fried fish, grilled prawns, crab, lobster, and squid masala. It is designed for sharing and takes the guesswork out of ordering. Individual dishes are also available if you want to focus on one thing.
The atmosphere is simple and unpretentious. The food is the point here, not the decor.
Must Order
- Seafood platter (tawa fish, grilled prawns, crab, lobster, squid masala)
- Grilled prawns
- Fish curry with rice
Tip: Come for lunch when the catch is freshest. Prices are reasonable by seafood standards.
Hours: Lunch and dinner daily
