TL;DR

Travelers recommend Sea Taste for good-value seafood: a substantial meal for three, including fish, lobster, shellfish and squid, cost about AED 260. Oysters can be around AED 300, so a full seafood meal at a restaurant may offer better value.

For a budget lunch or dinner, buy fresh fish and shrimp at a nearby shop and have them grilled. This was reported to cost about AED 30–50 and to be enough for two meals; grilled meat is also available.

Seafood availability at hotel buffets can vary: shrimp and oysters may not appear every day, even on busy weekends. If you want specific items, book an à la carte restaurant and confirm the menu in advance.
