Kuwaiti Fresh Fish Market

Neat place to go and see. Right after they caught the fish, it will be transfered to the next building across the street and sold there. The absolut minimum of transportation is presented here. In addition, in the nearby restaurants you may order whatever marine food you desire and they tell you whenever it is ready to be eaten. What is the increase of being served freshest? SUPER freshest?!

Lots of fresh seafood here, locals come here to buy, there is a small restaurant inside the area that charge 3 dinars for cooking and you can eat at the restaurant, but you need to buy some small dishes and drinks, very reasonable prices and they cook it very good

Amazing and vibrant space filled with life and nature. A must have experience, especially if you enjoy sea food in general and fish in particular! I highly recommend visiting the fish market and getting something to eat on the spot.

The Kuwaiti Fish Market holds an auction daily after the Asr prayer, usually around 3:00 PM. The building also includes a small vegetable market.

The sea bass grilled was bland, but adding the chilli oil and some salt made it taste better. The rice was good. Shrimp toast and spring rolls were good. Expensive

Souq Sharq Fish Market, also known as the Central Fish Market, is Kuwait City’s main hub for fresh seafood, located near the Arabian Gulf waterfront between the Dhow Harbour and Sharq Shopping Mall. Arrive early in the mornings (from around 5 AM) for the freshest selection and busiest energy, as crowds build for bargaining with friendly vendors who often clean or fillet fish on-site. Many stalls cook purchases immediately—grilled, fried, steamed, or curried—and adjacent vegetable and spice markets enhance the experience, though expect a strong fish aroma. Bargaining is expected for competitive prices, and no advance booking is needed, with operations typically daily until late evening.

The Central Fish Market in Kuwait City is considered the city's most important fish market. It is located on Gulf Road, where most of the city's most notable landmarks can be found. In addition to the usual hustle and bustle of bargaining, its lovely location on the waterfront is frequently confused for a nearby palace belonging to the Emir of Kuwait.  It is one of the oldest fish markets in the country, and as you make your way through the crowded stalls, the region's traditions that date back hundreds of years become clear to you. THINGS TO DO AT THE FISH MARKET: • Embrace unique marine life here: Many people will find that the fish market in Kuwait is where they come across the strangest marine creatures they have ever seen outside of an aquarium. Arrive early to see the bustling market come to life, with buyers searching for the freshest and most exquisite seafood caught that day in the surrounding waters. It would be best to prepare to bargain and negotiate a little over the prices throughout the day. The fish served here is guaranteed to be the freshest in Kuwait. • The building itself is a stunning piece of architecture as well: The interior is even more stunning than the exterior and tastefully embellished with lovely blue ceramic mosaics of aquatic life. • Have a delectable meat at the Fish Market Restaurant: An exceptional caliber restaurant is situated on the water's edge and offers breathtaking coastline vistas. If you're a fan of seafood, this is the restaurant for you; the menu features a wide variety of options, including fresh red snapper, crab, scallops, shrimp, and more. You can select the kind of fish you like best, and it will be prepared according to your specifications, either by grilling, frying, steaming, or using curry.
