“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.”

Book Ahead. Reserve ahead for weekends and busy evenings, especially if you want an outdoor table.
Choose Weather. Plan outdoor seating for pleasant weather; the marina setting is a major part of the experience.
Go Early. Arrive for an early dinner if enjoying the view matters to you.
Pick Preparation. Ask about the available cooking styles when selecting fish, including grilled or fried options.
Adjust Spice. If you prefer milder flavours, ask for less spice when ordering.
Order Ahead. For particularly busy visits, call and place the food order ahead to avoid a long wait.
Plan the visit

A Sunday visit involved a 25–45-minute wait, and the restaurant can be packed at peak times.
One diner had to signal several times before staff noticed them, despite polite service.
A review found the shrimp spices overpowering and the presentation disappointing, although the fish itself was good.
One busy-day review said the interior could be cleaner, particularly the tables.
One diner disliked being asked to release the table after staying for a long time.
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.
