What to Avoid (3)

Food 3

  1. Fetush salad Net −1
    “Disappointing food taste and presentation . Fish was good. Sardina not sardina- anchovies, the spices added to shrimps destroyed taste- something with mustard. Fetush salad just awful with purple cabbage 😞Presentation was poor- 3 slices of potato with fish..”
  2. Seafood spaghetti Net −1
    “However, my friend ordered the seafood spaghetti, which unfortunately fell short of expectations. Despite its beautiful presentation, the taste didn’t quite hit the mark. We brought this to the attention of the captain, who was incredibly attentive and immediately took action to address the concern. He tried to rectify the issue, but even after the adjustments, the dish still wasn’t to my friend’s liking. Demonstrating excellent customer service, the captain kindly removed it from our bill, a gesture we greatly appreciated.”

    “Disappointing food taste and presentation . Fish was good. Sardina not sardina- anchovies, the spices added to shrimps destroyed taste- something with mustard. Fetush salad just awful with purple cabbage 😞Presentation was poor- 3 slices of potato with fish..”

Busy Periods

A Sunday visit involved a 25–45-minute wait, and the restaurant can be packed at peak times.

Slow Attention

One diner had to signal several times before staff noticed them, despite polite service.

The Bottom Line

Fish Gourmet is an Egyptian-style seafood restaurant in Marina 1, with a waterside setting and a useful choice at the display area: reviews describe selecting the fish and how it will be cooked. The appeal is the combination of fresh seafood and Egyptian-style preparation. Standout orders include grilled shrimps, fried calamari, creamy seafood soup and baked seabass with olive oil and lemon.

One long-time diner rated the grilled shrimps, seabass and fried calamari highly, while another praised soup with crab, mussels and calamari and char-grilled prawns that stayed juicy. The outdoor tables are the draw: reviews mention views over the fishermen’s marina, sea breeze and a relaxed atmosphere. Go early for the view, and book ahead on weekends or busy Sundays; one Sunday visit involved a 25–45-minute wait.

Service is often friendly and attentive, and families have appreciated gloves for eating seafood and staff keeping children occupied with colours. It is not flawless: some diners found attention slow, one seafood spaghetti missed the mark, and a review found the interior tables needing cleaning. Reported prices include 112AED for 15 grilled shrimps, 50AED for 500g of fried calamari and 33AED for creamy seafood soup; value can feel less comfortable when ordering several dishes.
