What to Eat at Fishy's Egyptian Alexandrian seafood How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Fishy's Egyptian Alexandrian seafood, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Dine In. For the most predictable experience, dine in rather than relying on delivery; one order took three hours to arrive.
Look Carefully. The restaurant is tucked into a corner, so keep an eye out rather than expecting it to be immediately obvious from the street.
Ask About Cuttlefish. If you are curious about the catch, ask to see the cuttlefish before ordering; a diner said the team showed it to them.
Share Platter. For a group meal, consider the family platter, which one customer specifically described as a very good deal.

Common Concerns
Delivery Delays
Delivery reliability is a clear caution: reviews report waits of three to four hours, including missing or incorrect items.
Slow Service
A dine-in customer waited so long that the main dish was forgotten, despite only a few tables being occupied.
Limited Staffing
One regular customer felt the experience would improve with two servers instead of one.
Juice Value
The mango juice was described as disappointing and overpriced compared with the food.
No High Chairs
Families with babies should note that one review reported a lack of baby high chairs.

The Bottom Line
Fishy’s is a small Alexandrian seafood restaurant in Jumeirah with a cosy, clean interior and a distinctly Egyptian approach to seafood. The reviews point to fresh fish, friendly hospitality and a relaxed setting rather than a large, bustling dining room. There is plenty to choose from, but the grilled sea bass with potatoes is the clearest repeat favourite.
Fried calamari, light cream seafood soup, seafood tagine and shrimp pasta also receive specific praise, while fresh hot bread and tahini make useful accompaniments. A family platter was described as good value for sharing. The restaurant’s compact size is part of its charm, though it can also mean limited staffing.
One diner found service slow enough for the main course to be forgotten, and another felt two servers would improve the experience. Families with babies should also note the reported lack of high chairs. Delivery deserves more caution than dining in.
Reviews include waits of three and four hours, with missing or incorrect items, although another regular reported prompt delivery. If you visit, look carefully: the restaurant is tucked into a corner and can be easy to pass.
