Buying fish in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi’s best-known fish market is in the Mina Zayed port area, where fishing boats land their catch, with fruit, vegetable and date markets close by. Like Dubai, the capital loves hamour, sheri and kingfish, and fish is at the heart of Emirati dishes such as machboos, samak mashwi and salona.
Abu Dhabi is a big city, and the drive to Mina from Khalifa City or Yas Island takes time. We deliver fresh fish to homes across Abu Dhabi, so one order can cover a week of fish meals.
Fish Abu Dhabi loves
The fish you see most at Abu Dhabi tables.

Order once, eat well all week
Freeze on day one
Freeze what you will not cook in the next two days as soon as it arrives. Fish frozen fresh tastes far better than fish frozen on day three.
Portion before freezing
Pack one meal per bag and press out the air, so you only thaw what you need.
Thaw in the fridge
Move tomorrow’s fish from the freezer to the fridge the night before. Never thaw fish on the counter.
