TL;DR
Most all-inclusive hotels in Egypt rotate seafood every 1-2 days: shrimp, octopus, squid, and salmon. Red fish is typically served only on Saturday dinners; crabs are very small with little meat.
After a two-week stay: baked salmon, octopus, shrimp, and squid rotate every 1-2 days. Lightly salted red fish appears only on Saturday evenings. Sea bass is available daily. Crabs are tiny with barely any meat — not worth taking. Shrimp, however, are decent in both size and taste. Salmon tends to be dry, octopus is fine. Baked white fish is good; battered white fish is an acquired taste.
At a budget hotel, seafood is served once a week: shrimp, crab, and occasionally squid. Portions are tiny — almost piece by piece — and there's typically a 15-minute queue. Overall food quality is basic, so don't expect variety.
When booking, hotels may ask whether you prefer a meat or fish menu. Alcohol is included in the all-inclusive package. Food quality is generally acceptable.
