How Seafood Restaurants Work in Egypt

Many traditional Egyptian seafood restaurants operate on a by-weight pricing model — you choose your fish from a display of fresh catch, it's weighed in front of you, and you agree the price before it's cooked. This is common in Sharm too. At these places, always ask the price per kilo before pointing at the largest fish. For restaurants on delivery apps, prices are fixed per dish.

Best Sauces and Sides with Seafood

• Tahini — sesame paste thinned with lemon, the classic Egyptian fish accompaniment
• Chermoula — North African herb marinade, used on grilled fish
• Garlic butter — the international hotel-restaurant default
• Egyptian salad (tomato, cucumber, parsley) and pita bread
• Rice or fries — both common sides at seafood restaurants
