Where to eat fresh seafood in Sharm el-Sheikh?

There is a fish market or shop in Naama Bay area where you can buy fresh fish, shrimp, and crabs — worth asking locals for the exact location.

Seafood at hotel or resort-style restaurants is often poor quality — shrimp may be mixed with rice and served without care. For real fresh seafood, head to the Old Market area instead.

Fares restaurant in the Old Market (Old Town) is the top pick for fresh seafood. You choose fish and seafood at the display counter, staff weigh it and ask how you want it cooked. Prices are reasonable, but always ask for the total cost before cooking — it's easy to over-order.
