Best fish and seafood restaurants near Hurghada fish market

If you do not mind a slightly longer ride, Hurghada’s waterfront has a whole stretch of restaurants. It is recommended for its wide choice, relatively low prices, nearby shops, and lively evening atmosphere.

On the Marina promenade, near the Best Way store, there is a fish restaurant alongside pharmacies, a mango market, a fruit stall, and a hookah bar — convenient to combine with a seaside walk.

A fish restaurant on the promenade sells shrimp cooked to order: 1 kg costs around $30, extra-large shrimp cost $52/kg. They cook on the spot and can pack the food to go.

In addition to El Halaka, the Star Fish restaurant chain operates near the fish market in the El Mina area — another option for fresh seafood in the same district.

If you buy seafood at the fish market, check your hotel's rules first — some hotels (e.g. Sphinx) do not allow guests to bring market seafood onto the premises.

El Halaka fish restaurant is located directly across from the fish market in the El Mina district. You pick your fresh seafood and they cook it right there — the classic market-style experience.

The El Mina area is very compact: the fish market, El Halaka restaurant, El Mina mosque, and the Marina promenade are all within walking distance of each other. Another 5 minutes on foot brings you to Gomla market for fruits, dates, and sweets.

Hurghada has a fish market where you can select fresh seafood yourself and have it cooked to order on the spot. Nearby fish restaurants in the same area offer a similar format.

For fish restaurants near the Moreno Hotel and mosque area, head toward El Mina — it's the nearest seafood district with both a fish market and dedicated restaurants.
