Chains and independents

Of the 890 seafood restaurants we hold, 450 (51%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are Fishaways (219), Ocean Basket (133), John Dory's (46), Cape Town Fish Market (9) and Ocean Basket Malta (5). The other 49% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.
