The coolest seafood market, a lot of sellers and a large assortment, everything is civil, at your request, we are ready to clean everything for a small fee.
What to pay attention to: before visiting, take at least a medical mask with you, otherwise it is simply impossible to breathe.
And also avoid the assistants who will carry your packages for tips
The market itself is good, the choice is large and you can and should bargain!!! But!!!! Drive away these parasites who cling to you like to help!!! Take it yourself to the cutting and to the cafe where they will fry it all and bring it to your table!!! And you will be happy!!! It's about the fish half! Next to the fruit and vegetable market, take the same thing there, bargain and drive these assistants away!! Or do not give more than 10!!! And drive taxi drivers too!!! There is a karim app that works great!!!
A huge fish market, a huge fruit market, fish restaurants, and a LuLu hypermarket.
Spices, mango-avocado, everything that grows anywhere on the Planet.
The market is super!! But you need to know the subtleties:
1. Haggling!!!!
2. You can also clean the purchased goods there
3. You can also cook there. (With you or in a restaurant).
4. There are several restaurants that prepare the purchased products.
5. Beware of small Pakistanis who offer help. Although if you buy a lot, they are normal! (10 dirhams)
Write for details)))
The market is divided into departments. We took seafood. Excellent choice. Of the minuses: too annoying workers who strive to sell their products. They walk on their heels, shout, stick their fish almost under their noses.
It's hard to figure out if it's your first time. First you need to buy, then wash and clean (in the same place), find a place where everything will be weighed, counted and taken away for cooking. You take a table in a cafe nearby and wait for your food.
A large selection, a very very large selection of seafood. When we visited the market, you could even buy a shark there. Everything is fresh without any freezing. There is also a large vegetable pavilion.
Sellers are brazenly accosting. It feels like you owe them something. After deciding on the purchase, the seller himself took a tip from the change and never gave it back. I didn't start a conflict, since I was with my family. The restaurant, which is located on the territory, eventually spoiled all the seafood... In short, adequate people have nothing to do there. It's better to go to a good fish restaurant.
After reading the laudatory reviews, we decided to visit. We drove here from the Marina district (1.5 hours by metro + 15 min bus). Then walk for 15 minutes through the heat + 40.
Fish rows are clean without the smell of rotten meat, which cannot be said about fruit rows. The locals are like gypsies, everyone wants to get you.
Prices in rubles are too high, bargain to the last. When you try to leave, they agree to your terms.
Price:
Squid - 15 AED/kg
Medium shrimp - 30 AED/kg
Octopus - 40 AED/kg
Blue mussels - 15 AED/kg
Clean/wash - 13 AED (we had just over 2kg of total weight)
When you go with the packages, a porter comes up to you and sticks to you. It's hard to get rid of, but you can.
After cleaning, they give you everything and you move to the restaurant where they cook. There are no signs. Look out for people with red bags, they all go there. Or go outside from the side of rows "G" and we have a window where you hand over the fish for frying.
Cooking cost us 50 AED/kg
Further, disappointment ((( squid and shrimp fried in batter is a nightmare nightmare. Octopus is tough. Mussels taste strange. Everything is ruined. It's a pity that they cooked byaka from good products.
The result: the disappointment of the day and thrown out 163 AED + travel for two 54 AED. The rate at the time of the trip is 1 AED=27₽.
A lot of seafood, but at first they say the price is too high (well, this is the east), the purchased fish can be cooked in a nearby restaurant, only you need to check the amount after cooking, two large shrimp were stolen from us but noticed only at the hotel.
A great place to buy vegetables, fruits, seafood, etc. But you need to be prepared for a specific smell from the mass of fish. Not rotten, but just from a lot of

I really liked the market. The fish is inexpensive, you can clean and cook right there. The fruits are very tasty and of high quality. Frozen shrimp 25 dirhams per 1 kg
I liked the market, of course the prices are running up, we need to bargain. There are a couple of cafes nearby where they can cook for you.

We bought a rotten fish for a tidy sum, only 10 pieces of 3 kg of shrimp were normal, apparently they were lying on top, and they put rotten meat in a bag, the same with lobsters, on the spot because of the general fish smell it is difficult to immediately calculate, and we did not think that every fish and shrimp there needed to be sniffed for rottenness, in general, it's a shame, we went to this market on purpose, spent more than an hour on the road. From the very entrance, they jump on you, do not let you pass, they can grab your hand, in general, be careful
I was driving and I was determined to buy shrimp, but.. The prices of course bite, plus they don't come up to you, but they run up with this fish or shrimp and poke them in the nose, they say, take it cheaper from me, as a result, my friend and I picked up fruit and left
The will of a European stuck out is tearing you apart. There is little pleasure. Prices from the head naturally. Bargain. If they don't agree, go ahead. They will catch up. In general , appreciate yourself . Seafood fire. All fresh and still crawling.. there is also a restaurant in the market where everything will be prepared for you. 17.
Wow!!!! We chose giant shrimps, a huge lobster, they were immediately cleaned and cooked for us.... Even I, not knowing either English or Arabic, ordered everything and had a great snack
We bought fresh shrimps and octopuses prepared for us there, the sellers are polite and sociable

Awesome Bargain to the last. Give the fish to be cleaned and fried yourself.
There is a cool elderly merchant in the fruit market near the exit, prices are lower than everyone else's and in the layouts.
You can only get to the market by taxi. Taxi drivers roll up mileage, tourists are being deceived. Sellers cling, porters impose services. They slipped rotten shrimp, which their restaurant offered to throw into the sea, but they were replaced for us. You can go once, but I liked the Train more in Sharjah at the market. Prepare money, not cheap.
The best seafood and meat market. Right there in a good institution they can cook them for you. Of course, the pleasure is not cheap, but believe me it's worth it.
