The Best Fish Markets in the UAE

19th Nov 2023

Let’s face it. Seafood is delicious! Unfortunately, we may not always have the time to catch our own fish on a deep-sea fishing trip in the UAE. But what about the fish you’re craving?!

Then, we go to the fish market! There are various fish markets in the UAE, as well as a ton of groceries, hypermarkets, supermarkets, and coops that sell fish on a daily basis. This blog focuses primarily on fish markets rather than groceries, hypermarkets, supermarkets, and coops. This is because, in the UAE, the best fish is most likely to be found in the local fish markets. This blog highlights the two best local fish markets in the UAE.
