About James Fish Farm (Tambakan)

About ten minutes by boat from Kudat's jetty, this working fish farm hosts visitors who feed giant groupers, swim in a netted area, then sit down to steamed seafood caught on the spot.

It is a booked tour that includes the meal, not a walk-in restaurant. Arrange your visit with the owner in advance.
