TL;DR
The most recommended budget-friendly seafood spots in Hurghada are El Halaka near the Marina fish market and El Mina in Sakala, both praised for fresh fish, shrimp, and fair local prices. Other mentions include Castello on the island, and the Marina area in general for a wider restaurant choice.
For affordable seafood, El Halaka is the top recommendation. It’s opposite the fish market near the Marina, known for very fresh seafood and prices that feel more local than touristy.
Another commonly recommended option is El Mina in Sakala. Travelers describe it as a reliable fish restaurant with tasty seafood; the seafood soup gets a special mention and prices are said to be reasonable.
For seafood that feels both tasty and safe, several people still point to El Halaka as one of the better all-around choices in Hurghada for freshness and flavor.
If you want seafood plus a nice evening out, the Marina area is recommended for a walk and restaurant hopping. El Halaka is one of the standout seafood options there.
Some travelers suggest Castello on the island as an alternative if you want more than just standard seafood. Grilled salmon is the dish most specifically praised there.
Mahoni also comes up in the discussion as a seafood option, though without detailed feedback. It can be kept in mind as a backup place for fish and shrimp if the better-known spots are busy.
