Lords Restaurant complex located right in the heart of the Negombo tourist strip is legendary for its massive incredibly fresh seafood platters. They source directly from the nearby fish market daily.

If you want a highly authentic slightly cheaper local experience walk towards the northern end of Porutota road. You will find numerous small family run shacks serving fiery devilled cuttlefish and garlic butter prawns that are absolutely spectacular.

To guarantee the absolute freshest catch visit the Negombo Lellama fish market at dawn buy your own massive lagoon crab and take it to any small guesthouse kitchen. They will happily cook it to perfection for a very small fee.
