“• We ordered two ‘Grilled Mix Platters’ (165.90 AED each), which came with sautéed veggies, seabass as the main fish in both dishes, seafood like squid, crabs, shrimp, and mussels, and rice on the side. Everything was really tasty, though I’d say it could’ve been a bit less spicy, that’s my only suggestion!”

Check status. Verify that the restaurant is operating before travelling to Mirdif; the latest review reports it has shut down.
Ask spice level. Ask how spicy the seafood will be before ordering, since one diner said the dish was not labelled or explained as very hot.
Plan leftovers. If you are dining as two people, consider sharing one main or arranging takeaway because multiple reviews describe very large portions.
Choose sauce. For a seafood boil, ask about the sauce options; diners specifically mentioned the secret sauce and garlic sauce.
Try seafood soup. Seafood soup was rated positively, while the same review found tom yum soup below average.

A July 2026 review says the restaurant had shut down and that its Google Maps listing had not been updated.
One diner found the seafood excessively spicy and said the level was not explained before ordering.
One review said service was not the fastest, even though the food was considered worth waiting for.
A customer reported seeing a cockroach running around and raised concerns about hygiene.
The seafood soup received positive feedback, but one customer found the tom yum soup below average.
The Bottom Line
Pirates Bay was a seafood restaurant in Mirdif built around generous, shareable meals rather than small individual plates. Reviews highlight seafood buckets and boils packed with shrimp, mussels, crab and corn, plus mixed platters, grilled seafood and fish and chips. The seafood bucket with the Pirates Bay special Cajun flavour was a recurring favourite, and seafood soup also received a positive mention.
The setting was part of the appeal. Customers described a large, colourful pirate-ship interior with music, warm ambience and a real parrot that amused children and added to the theme. Several diners found the staff helpful when choosing dishes, sauces and serving sizes, and one family said children aged three and six enjoyed the seafood bucket.
Portions could be substantial: two diners took leftovers home, while one mixed platter was enough for two. Ask about spice levels before ordering, as one visit found the seafood overwhelmingly hot without a warning. There was also a reported hygiene concern involving a cockroach, and service was not always quick.
Most importantly, a review posted in July 2026 says the restaurant had closed and that Google Maps had not been updated. Treat the older dining feedback as historical and confirm that it is open before visiting.
