The best fish you eat in Sorrento might be one you caught, a viable proposition at this congenial joint on the harbour at Marina Grande run by a cooperative of local fishermen. Let them take you out on a three-hour fishing trip (€70) and the chef will cook your catch and serve it to you with a carafe of wine.
