Where can we eat the best fresh seafood in Kalpitiya.
2 Answers from travellers
Kalpitiya is an absolutely phenomenal deeply authentic fishing region meaning the seafood is spectacularly fresh every single day. The highly vibrant kite surfing camps scattered perfectly along the pristine lagoon naturally feature some of the absolute finest beachside dining. The restaurant directly inside KiteSurfing Lanka is globally renowned for serving massive incredibly deeply flavorful platters of perfectly grilled jumbo prawns and thick rich cuttlefish curries.
If you truly deeply crave a highly authentic intensely local culinary experience you must completely skip the fancy expensive tourist resorts and walk directly into the bustling main Kalpitiya town center. There are several tiny unassuming heavily crowded local family eateries that serve absolutely mind blowing spicy crab curry perfectly accompanied by piping hot crispy flatbread and fresh coconut sambol for a tiny fraction of the premium beach resort prices.
