Fish Market Abu Dhabi

Interesting place. For relatively little money you can buy fresh fish and seafood, a large selection. Be careful if you want to cook and eat right there in one of the restaurants. The barkers say that they charge 10-15 dirhams/kg for cooking, but they are silent that they will also charge you for service and table rental (for us it turned out + 50 dirhams for 3 people). Plus, they calculated it by weight. They added an extra 1.5 kilograms and there is no way to prove that it was less, because they don’t give receipts when selling seafood.

Excellent market.
Only draw back is no fixed/transparent pricing.
Negotiation skill required.
Clean and hygienic indoor.
Most of the merchants accept only cash.

Great Initiative.

I like to choose my fresh fish there and send it to cooking shops there looks so delicious every time

Lots of seafood. Can't imagine the price here is so cheap. You can buy a kg of shrimp with 30AED. The market is so clean, tidy. After buying, you can choose any restaurant around to cook. 15AED to cook a kg of food. I had a very special experience here. Highly recommend! Hope that the market will be known by more people

First time and loved it. Very clean place. Lots of different kind of fish. A separate place to clean the fish and a separate resturant to grill the fish. You can either have it at the resturant or bring it home

The market is the place to watch what types of seafood is available fresh in the abudhabi. Huge competition, very reasonable and surprising prices. You can buy and let them clean for you at a dedicated place they will cut and clean it for you with separate charge. Also you can bring it to one of the restaurants and they will cook it for you - you can either take it out or eat at the same restaurant, they will charge for the cooking and sitting. All in all prices are reasonable and place is well maintained.

Well Arranged with Most Experienced Staff. Quality of Available Fish and Sea Food is Very High. As Cooking station and Cutting station Are Available so Everyone is welcome to visit the Market. The Market is Loaded with All 5 Facility As well.

The BEST place to go for a seafood fiesta. Family atmosphere. They have just changed the parking to a little far but constant buggies moving to facilitate the people.

The market is new, well organized and clean. There is big parking, you can find all kind
of fish and sea food at reasonable prices.
Everything is fresh, they can clean the fish and even cook for you. Around are few restaurants which which are serving seafood at convenient price. Highly recommend to go to eat there.

The best in UAE place for fish and seafood seekers. Well organized, very knit and clean. There are three areas one for fresh fish stands to buy, another area for grilling and another section for seafood restaurants

Probably the most organized Fish Market I’ve been to. Clean as well. Full of fresh fish options, fish cleaning service is available too.

This is one of my favourite places to visit and enjoy mouthwatering sea food grilled and fried as well.
My yummy dish there is cavear soup with cream and seabream fish, mussels grilled with stuffed cheese.
Shrimps grill. All the food there is yummy

Mina fish market is all re-vamped. It has become more asthetic, clean and with alot of good sea food restaurants.

The new look and layout is such an improvement. The cleaning and cutting area has been upgraded and has a pre-payment and token system. The staff are friendly and prices can be negotiated. There is a wide selection of food joints with both indoor and outdoor seating options.

Great place for fresh fish. New cleaner version. The parking lot is a bit of a walk from the market but there are shuttles (golf cart) available for free. The cleaning takes place in new glassed areas after the fish is weighed and priced for cleaning. Very professional. Love the fresh fish restaurants that are on the outer side of the fish market.

Lovely newly made fish market in Abu Dhabis Mina. Instead of stinky fish smell we could smell grills and barbecue. There are some awesome restaurants around serving fresh fish dishes for a reasonable price. The place is very clean and welcoming!

Quick read: Fish retail sale - Well managed - No smell - Grills available inside the market - Fish cutting and cleaning available (paid).

Tldr; This is the new organized fish market in Mina port Abu Dhabi. You will see a lot of fish options in this market with fully air conditioned and managed neat and clean without any foul smell of fish that we usually find in other fish markets. Lot of sections there but almost all of them have the same fish varieties and the price is also the same. You can go for bargaining. The only one thing that I found good here is you will get lot of options in same fish.
I bought salmon, which cost 145 AED. 50/kg. Cutting and cleaning for the same is 12 AED. For the same salmon in Lulu its 59 AED and free cutting and cleaning. You will find majority of sellers are from Kerala only.

You will also find live Grills inside the fish market itself. You can buy some fish and give it for grills.

One thing I felt they can improve is the cutting area as there are a lot of chaos as the one who takes the order is managed by others as well at the same time since I waited and the one came after me have given the service first.

If you are a fish lover it's good to visit here as you can buy fish at a much lesser price and in great quantity.

I would recommend this shop number 2 as I have been buying from it for several year in the old fish market and always giving me good price with good quality

If you a seafood lover it's a heaven for you, Pocket friendly fresh Fish and other seafood under one roof

New fish market
Organized clean but the smoke or smell from cooking spots is higher than usual
The serving time to be improved

Fresh seafood is abundant in one of the country's oldest fish markets. Shop to your stomach's content, then take your sea bounty to one of the restaurants. You can buy variety of fishes in affordable prices bulk or single.

New system. No enough counters. My token didnt displayed after preparation. After long waiting when i enquired. Already there. Wasted time.

The newly renovated fish market, very neat organised, large types of fish.cleaning of fish available at fixed rates token system and ver fast.

خيبة امل? لماذا لا نتعلم من غيرنا ومن سَبَقونا في التصميم والانظمة المحاسبية مثل سوق الجبيل في امارة الشارقة من افضل ما رأيت.
ناهيك عن رائحة شوي الاسماك وكأنك داخل شواية ولاتوجد تهوية لها.
كذلك بائعي الاسماك وهم يتهافتون ويتنازعون على المشتري تجعلك تهرب من السوق.

Awesome market, a lot of fresh fish. Cutting counter also inside. AED 2.5/kg (for cutting).
Only disadvantage is that big fish has to be bought in full. You can't get a portion of it. So plan your buy accordingly.

Good prices, fresh fish and pleasant atmosphere. You can choose anything from the market and get it cooked right away.

Great place to visit with family and friends for seafood dine in, you can find everything fresh and tasty more than in restaurants.

Highly recommend If you're looking for fresh cheap different variety of fishes
Prices can be bargained
Free parking available
Very good place for seafood? Lovers
Also there are some restaurants around will prepare grill for you with reasonable prices

Best place place to buy a huge varriet of fish if you know what to buy.
Prices are ok. But can get a good price if ur good in bargaining.

Very organized. Cleaning is almost an ongoing process. Prices are negotiable and people are extremely friendly. The fact the they cook the fish there in so many ways from lots of countries was a bless because I wanted it just like my Mom makes it and they delivered.
