Excellent place for buying the fresh seafood, fruit and vegetables and meat. But not for daily shopping, because you want to try everything))

There is a stunning seafood market , there is also a separate meat department and a mini fruit and vegetable market , a mini is a quarter of the stadium , a fish market is a whole size The purchased fish can be taken to a special department to be cleaned and then go to the terrace to the restaurant, they will cook for you there , this is a new experience in gastronomy. At the start, while waiting for the fish, you can take oysters, they are divine there. On the downside, as obsessive sellers and consultants wrote in other reviews, we were with a large company, some of which had already been on the market more than once, so we were ready for this.

A huge fish market. Fish, shrimp, crabs. You can choose and buy whatever your heart desires. I was buying a fish (I don't remember the name, it was huge. They chopped off about 1 kg) and medium-sized shrimps. They were immediately cleaned and cooked (cooking time is about 30 minutes), packed very nicely and I took a taxi to the hotel. You can eat all this splendor right there in the restaurant, additionally ordering sauces and side dishes. The impression is indelible! I haven't seen so many different fish yet. It's worth even just walking through the rows, it's worth it. The fish was incredibly delicious. You can walk along the embankment in the market area, where fishing scows, boats and minesweepers are moored.

A decent distance, you can immediately book a taxi in Sharjah and order 120-150 dirhams in both directions, from Marina it is even more expensive. The fish market is decent, there was an attendant with a cart, assuming it's free, but I gave him 10 dirhams at the end, the seafood assortment is impressive. Hyperactive sellers are annoying (very intrusive), you can bargain well. Cleaning and butchering are paid separately (there's a whole workshop for this), there are many cafes that cook what you bought, we were unlucky and the lobster and grilled langoustines were simply over-dried, the fried fish was also not impressed, they were simply deep-fried, although there was no question about it. It was easier to eat any seafood in any seafood restaurant or cafe, without all this fuss, it might even have been cheaper) I won't go there anymore.

We traveled by car around the UAE and on the way from Sharjah to Dubai, we wanted to go to the supermarket for groceries, but we ended up in this unusual place.There is a chic fish and fruit and vegetable market and a supermarket on the 2nd floor.There are all kinds of things in the ranks , the sellers are all nice, they sell their goods, they speak Russian slightly for a while) Of the buyers, the locals are mostly .There is a rest bar on the street where they will cook you sea reptiles or fish.The shops are small, the choice is huge, the Parking is large.

A large market with different types of food products. I visited the fish section myself, where you can buy fish/seafood for yourself, and then take it to one of the restaurants where it will be cooked. Interesting concept, pleasant terrace with sunset view

There is a lot on the market. Sellers are very annoying, you have to bargain with them, so the price can be brought down by a third. If you have arrived, a friend with a basket may meet you at the entrance, who will accompany you and carry your purchases, while he will take you to his points, from which he has a percentage. Even if he doesn't follow them, he'll just be next to you, and then he'll come to the seller, like he brought you to him. The fish is fresh and delicious. After purchase, you can immediately cook it in a restaurant at a price of 22 dirhams per kilogram.

Probably the cleanest fish market I've ever visited. Many sellers speak Russian, and everyone is friendly. The children were given a chance to take pictures with various marine reptiles. There are specially trained people who take what they have bought and take it to the cleaners. Then they are taken from there and transferred to a restaurant where your delicacies can be prepared as you wish.

Lobsters at a good price in Dubai… You can buy it yourself and ask to cook it in a restaurant for 17 AED right on the market 165 AED we paid for 2 fresh lobsters. We looked at the color of the meat and fins, and the prettiest ones were at the very end of the market. The number of this outlet will be on the video, which will be edited soon. Here, we managed to bargain more profitably for the price. Haggling, by the way, is mandatory. We immediately warn you that a young guy will join you at the entrance, help you with a cart, a selection, take the fish and seafood for some reason and ask for a decent amount at the end. So, if you don't need this service, just openly refuse, otherwise it will just follow you around. There are several restaurants ready to cook any of your fish or seafood. We walked around, looked at the plates, at the contingent and chose YAHYA. He is the very first one at the exit from the market to the embankment. The appliances are plastic, but they cook very tasty and not expensive. I would like to note for women that it is better not to come here with bare legs and shoulders. From the stern looks, I even stumbled and flew with the child in my arms directly towards the table of traditional men, such an experience. Fortunately , it compensated and stopped the fall 😰 Please note that part of the market closes for cleaning at lunchtime, but the second part is enough for you, the assortment is identical for everyone. If you want to buy fish and seafood with you, you may be refused a taxi service, taxi drivers do not share tourists' enthusiasm for fresh fish. We did not have it with us and for a long time we convinced the driver that there definitely were no fish with us) The richness of fish and seafood in this market will better convey the video Video review of the market in the telegram channel "Gastropara Melnik" https://t.me/Gastro_Melnik #Dubai market #restaurant #lobster

There is a large, convenient food market where you can buy all kinds of fruits and vegetables, spices, as well as fresh fish and other seafood, including live ones, and meat is also present. Also, the cafe in the same building can cook everything you bought. There are also some clothes, and there is a large supermarket on the second floor. Prices are much lower than in tourist places. If you want a gastronomic variety for a small amount, then you are here.

A huge seafood market. I went here to visit and taste seafood in the restaurant. I recommend reading a lot of reviews beforehand before going to do everything right. And achieve your goals. I didn't buy anything in the shopping malls, and I didn't order cleaning either, as I didn't really understand it. I just came to the restaurant, went to the place of the order, and showed me what to cook. I chose some large king prawns and crab. It all worked out. 74 dirhams. I was satisfied with the visit to this market, if possible, I will come again more prepared.

My favorite market. We go with the whole family for fish, shrimp and meat. Especially for the New Year. What kind of farel is there, just super!!! And add salt and steaks. A huge fish market. There is everything you can imagine.it is possible and necessary to bargain. You can drop 30-40 percent of the price that the seller says. Everything is fresh) there is also a meat and fruit pavilion) the prices are not low, but cheaper than in stores. There are also small tents with Turkish sweets and household goods.

So look at it for general development. Lots of fresh fish and stuff from the sea. For those who want to eat fresh fish, otherwise they hardly figured it out themselves. The restaurants are on the other side of the entrance, from the side of the reservoir. You come up, there's a fuss and you get lost. Actually. You look for where the fish is on ice, you poke your finger, they give you a number (if you didn't take it yourself) and a piece of paper with the order, by default they cook the grill, you can order another cooking method. You go and sit down at the table. On the way, you take the menu, or ask the waiter. The local fetouche salad (or what is it called?) is brought for free. You choose a side dish from the menu and so on. That's it, you're waiting. Fish, shrimp, etc. are brought butchered for convenient consumption. You pay later, the waiter brought the card terminal to me. This is objective for the first restaurant to the left of the exit, where there is a crowd of people. I wasn't in the others.

The marine market made an impression: it is a very beautiful and modern building, it is pleasant to take a walk and see the assortment. As in any fish market, the smell is specific, but you quickly get used to it. The prices for fish and seafood are quite reasonable, the choice is large. I especially liked that you can ask to cook your purchase right next to it — it's convenient and delicious!

A cool place where you can buy vegetables, fruits, meat and other products. There is a cafe where you can taste the sea products. There is a point where you can cook fresh sea-bought groceries. The place is right on the shore, and that's where the name comes from. A must to visit and purchase something!

In general, the market is cool, there is a large selection (fish, shrimp, mussels, lobsters, etc.). Of course, it's better to know in advance what you want. Next to the department where everything is cleaned and washed, it takes about 20 minutes. There is also a department where they will prepare all this for you. The only thing is, if you eat there, then you need to order something at the cafe. The prices are adequate. The location is not very convenient relative to public transport. I rented the ball for very persistent sellers, they fly in like flies, it's very noisy

We were at the market on 01.01.25. We bought a lobster, and decided to eat it here. We cooked it at a kiosk at the exit from the market towards the sea (there are restaurants there) for 30 dihrams, however, we had to wait about an hour. Compared to Moscow, of course, there is a huge assortment of fresh fish and seafood at very good prices. They took a package of fish and shrimps with them to the hotel.

Of course, the market is cool, but you need to approach everything very carefully, sniff fish, check sellers, bargain, etc. :) For example, we bought 1 kg of shrimp, 1 kg of mussels and lobster. The seller offered to clean it himself for 17 dirhams per kg. And only after I took everything and paid, I realized that the mussels were not cleaned before cooking, but only washed :)

Not all crabs are full inside. In the neighboring paluto, we were told that we were sold an empty crab, by the way, the seller easily exchanged for a crab that turned out to be normal. (Sellers don't always know about the crab themselves)

There is absolutely nothing to do here! They sell rotten stuff for a lot of money! Buy only live seafood. We bought 7,000 rubles worth of shrimps, lobsters, 1 fish and 5 oysters. The shrimps and lobsters turned out to be frankly rotten. I didn't check it right away. For some reason, I was counting on the seller's honesty. They packed everything up so quickly. It was only at home (apartment) that we were able to understand that the products were spoiled and smelled bad.. 🙈

A large selection of seafood. The freshest and for every taste and purse. Obsessive sellers, as in any market, you want to run away from them. But there are more advantages. Inexpensive, high-quality, there is a fish cleaning area, you give your products at the checkout, they are weighed and you pay for cleaning by weight. They give you a ticket, and you wait for your turn on the monitor. Everything is quite civilized. Then, you can take it to a cafe on the beach, there you hand it in through the window, tell how to cook, and go to a table. We took Dorado and shrimp. It was delicious!
