TL;DR
Chat reports suggest some Albatros resorts in Hurghada have served salmon-like fish at breakfast. In other hotels, breakfast can be much more limited, with items like steak, poached eggs, or even watermelon not available regularly.
At the hotel referred to in the discussion as “Ali,” red fish is available at breakfast mixed into a salad rather than as separate slices; the dish is replenished when it runs out.
In another recent report, red fish was not displayed separately at the breakfast buffet and appeared only as part of a vegetable salad. After an advance request, staff brought a full plate of fish directly to the table.
Another comment about breakfast red fish: guest complains portions are very stingy — staff serves just a tiny piece as if doing you a favor.
Positive feedback on breakfast red fish: it's a salty-smoked variety from factory vacuum packaging (not house-salted), better suited as a sandwich topping than a beer snack. One guest ate large amounts daily with no health issues.
Another guest compares Hurghada hotels: liked breakfast (including red fish) at Rotana, but hasn't stayed at Sultan to compare. Confirms that red fish availability and frequency varies a lot by specific hotel.
Clarification on red fish: in one hotel it only appears once a week on bruschetta at dinner, not at breakfast. However, baked salmon is served frequently.
The newest feedback is about fish dishes: in one hotel, the fish was baked with heavy seasoning, which made it unappealing for the guest. If you prefer simpler food, it is worth asking in advance whether fish can be served fried or without spices.
An earlier comment says breakfast in another hotel was much weaker: over 11 days, watermelon was served only 3 times, and even that had to be requested. Travelers should not expect extras like steaks, smoked salmon, or poached eggs in every property.
There is a positive Hurghada-specific report: one guest said they regularly had red fish at breakfast in an Albatros hotel. If a richer breakfast matters to you, an Albatros resort in Hurghada seems a safer bet than more basic properties.
