What seafood is served at all-inclusive hotels in Hurghada?

At the seafood à la carte restaurant, portions were small: just 4 shrimp, the same fish with rice, and 2 thin squid strips.

Buffet had plenty of chicken (various styles) and duck; seafood included fish, shrimp and crab — shrimp were good, but crab was described as poor quality/barely there.

Over 5 days, the only seafood served at the buffet was squid rings in tomato sauce (not rubbery) once — no other seafood was offered.

Thursdays appear to be a designated 'fish day': dinner featured shrimp, tasty baked white fish, and stewed squid.

Only one à la carte restaurant is available on the beach, with a limited menu of one dish per category: appetizers are shrimp, lightly salted salmon, or Greek salad; mains are baked salmon or chicken.

According to a recent report, seafood at the buffet is limited: over 10 days, seafood soup appeared only once, a stewed seafood mix with shrimp and squid about three times, while lunch and dinner consistently included white fish in two forms: battered fried fillet and stewed fish.

One recent review says dinner included lower-end fish options: pangasius and fried whole small fish with heads and bones. This suggests all-inclusive hotels may serve not only fillets but also inexpensive whole bony fish.

At the fish à la carte restaurant, separate seafood service may include three kinds of fish, shrimp, and fish soup; the other listed items are non-seafood sides and dessert.

No red fish (salmon) on the menu; prawns are served in limited individual portions. White fish is available as fillet in sauce rather than steaks. Beef is offered in several preparations and is decent quality. Overall food level is not ultra-premium 5-star all-inclusive, but acceptable.

Over several days the seafood rotation included squid, tiger prawns, and crab — something different each day.

Over 4 days the buffet included salmon, genuine white fish (not pangasius), unlimited tiger prawns, and well-prepared squid that was tender rather than rubbery.
