Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 4

Choose Cooking. When it was operating, ask about the fresh catch and specify how you want it cooked; fish was weighed and filleted in the kitchen.

Try Seabass. One diner preferred the seabass to red snapper for its delicate, buttery, mild meat, though the portion was smaller.

The Bottom Line

Fishtails Dubai was a seafood restaurant in Dubai Maritime City, but the business-supplied notice now says it has permanently closed and will not answer booking calls. That status matters more than the strong historical customer feedback: this is not currently a place to plan a meal. When it was operating, the main draw was fresh fish handled to order.

Diners described fish being weighed and filleted in the kitchen, then prepared according to the guest’s wishes. Red snapper, sea bream and grilled sea bass were recurring favourites, while shrimp Provençal, oysters, lobster with butter and mussels also appeared in recommendations. One reviewer particularly liked the sea bass for its delicate, buttery, mild meat.

The setting was a relaxed waterfront one, with views of the marina, yachts and cruise ships and seating indoors, outdoors and on a terrace. Several reviews mentioned generous portions, good value and ample free parking. There were practical drawbacks: the surrounding area was under construction, the location could feel remote, and the toilets were outside behind the restaurant.

One diner also had to ask twice for drinks. Historical prices included eight jumbo shrimp Provençal for AED 80 and a total bill of AED 204, but these should not be treated as current prices.
