Fish Market Restaurant 💰💰💰Overrated?? | Egypt Vlog 190 | مطعم فيش ماركت

[@alielsaka2747]

Dearest, You"ve been living in Egypt for almost a year and a half now, I guess you know the cost of most of the food, cheap and expensive. I heard that chef said a very high price for just 6 shrimps . Don't feel shy to leave that place for overpricing. I wish you a happy stay in Alex. and a safe journey throughout Egypt. Greetings from Ismailia.

[@Gventures]

Thank you, I've actually been living in Egypt 3 years now. I know the prices were high, I thought about leaving, but I figured I would just pay a high price and see how it was, it was my decision. Thank you though 🙏

May l ask you? Is it your first travel outside your country? Do you plan to travel to other countries? And what about your staying in Egypt?you liked it? And what your opinion

[@Gventures]

@@nellyelnokaly585 No, I've been to over 25 countries. I do travel abroad as well, even though I live in Egypt. But I love living here. If you're curious more about that, I answer subscribers questions in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGHQpZ5qr8ufpbc

OMG those prices are so cheap ! I would be eating the whole menu ! Here in Costa Rica those prices would be doubled or tripled 😢 I cant wait to get there and enjoy it all without any limitations 🇨🇷🇨🇷

[@Gventures]

Lol yes if you are comparing prices in different countries, it is cheap. I am comparing prices at restaurants within Egypt, of course. And it is expensive.

[@siemprelibre6434]

@ oh yes, I understand that, the thing is that those prices in my country are incredibly cheap, so as I said, I wont have any problems overthere on my coming vacations 😬 I am not rich, just a normal person with a budget....I guess with those prices I wanna move to Egypt 😆🇨🇷

[@NermeenRagab-c7s]

Good thing you visited Alexandria before the rainstorms and freezing weather in winter .Iam glad you enjoyed the delicious seafood. The restaurant is insanely expensive ,though like you said perhaps because it is a touristy place ; and can't wait to see the rest of your videos on this trip . I hope to meet you some day when you're back in Cairo.

The most important thing is that the meal was tasty after the long journey and you enjoyed it. I was recommended another restaurant in Alex, Qadura and price for the meal was also around 400 egp. have a nice trip!

[@gabymessih188]

You cant go wrong in Alexandria with seafood. If you are spending a few days there, you can try liver (kebda) at El Falah (the farmer) .. I was keen to try it when i was Egypt last but my kids kept winging (they are too aussie to try liver)..I ended up missing out

[@waterbearer4627]

I recently came back from Alexandria and loved it again. I ate at the best tourist and non tourist restaurants and cafes with some outstanding view. I highly recommend Flamingo, Caribe, Santorini, Blue View, India Gate, Delice Patteserie and Old Street which does the best Seafood Pasta Alforno. Out of this world high quality food. Europe does not compare to the food and desserts in Alexandria.

[@Gventures]

Thanks! I did go to Delices, as they are very popular in Alexandria, of course. Very delicious desserts!!!

[@waterbearer4627]

@Gventures that's so great! Yes, it's my go to place to have tea and their fresh cinnamon buns and gateaus. I highly recommend going to Blue View restaurant in 'The Walk' pier complex too on the sea, it has a friendly worker called Ahmed who speaks English serving customers. It is so relaxing, over looking the sea to have tea and hot molten lava cake. It's like being transported to Greece. Alexandria has such an eclectic vibe. Authenticly Egyptian but can give the French, Italian and Greek atmosphere too. As a tourist from the UK I will keep returning to this city for the hospitality and cuisine. Flamingo restaurant has real Flamingos as your enter. Gleem Bay is the modern pier restaurants with fusion more high end food. Sultana ice cream parlour is there with the viral ice cream in a can. Everybody must try!

[@Gventures]

@@waterbearer4627 Yeah I have a thousand and one recommendations from tourists, as well as Egyptians, and Alexandrians themselves. Truly not enough time or space in my stomach to have it all! 😅 But I do love Alexandria, it's my 3rd time, but it's been a while since the last time I was here. I love it when I have my motorcycle, able to cruise around and explore on my own, it's the best. And yes, Alexandria does have special vibes, directly correlating to it's history and international influences, it has that reputation. Much loved by all ❤

[@waterbearer4627]

@Gventures that's so great, so many people really want to recommend their favourite spots and share them with you. Having your motorbike is really great too to exolore. Have you done the road trip along the coast, west of Alexandria to Marsa Matruh? To see the rocks and crystal blue Mediterranean Sea of Cleopatra beach. I was recommended this by a local in Alexandria but didn't get a chance to go.

[@Gventures]

@@waterbearer4627 Oh, you didn't see the episode before this? I left Cairo on my motorcycle and am on my way to the Siwa oasis, with stops in Alamein and Marsa Matrouh 😁 (First stop is just Alexandria). I've been waiting for this road trip for a while now, just waiting for the weather to cool down so it's bearable to ride for long distances. I know the north coast is popular as a summer destination, but I wanted to ride my bike. It's been great so far!

That shrimp looks so good! They cooked it the same way I would. I think the bigger ones are called prawns. But I’m not sure. Up at the counter all the fish looked like they were attending a concert. If I didn’t know better I would say they were all having a great time. The view looked very serene. What a great way to begin your trip!

Hola Giselle, Oh my God,,,,,, awesome. I visited that restaurant twice this year in January 2024 when I went. It was winter, very kind weather in Alexandria. I liked that restaurant very much. Also, the music ( oldies) in English..... first night...... raining, oldies, a very spectacular atmosphere in there, I started crying not for sadness I was crying for happiness... a lof of flashback. Prices a bit expensive compare with other places out of tourist spots.

Apperantly still most taxis are old Lada's which are black and yellow, a bit nostalgic..🙂But there are very few Lada taxis in Cairo right? Wow so you had to wait for the restaurant there and when it comes to prices its pretty affordable if you compare with other regional countries like Jordan, Israel or Lebanon..

[@Gventures]

Yeah I'm definitely not comparing prices in Egypt with any other country, I am comparing prices within Egypt and what something should cost at a local spot vs here. Anyways, I did it. At least it tasted good 😅 You're right, black and yellow taxis aren't in Cairo, they're white there

[@ehabelgawady]

Thanks for your great videos. QUESTION: If you're not near the coast in Egypt, how fresh are the fish GENERALLY? My grandmother's rule was to never eat fish after 5 pm because of the concern about spoilage.

[@Gventures]

I have no idea

[@moharshe]

I hope you enjoyed the food! Just a heads-up, though-it’s quite overpriced there, and most locals avoid it for that reason. Since you’ve already tried it, you might not be up for seafood again, but if you are, there are more affordable and equally delicious options like Arous El Bahar or Ganet El Mohamadiya

[@Gventures]

Oh I am well aware it was overpriced. You didn't realize that from the thumbnail, title of the bideo, or my attitude and everything I said in the video the entire time? 😆 I've been to local places and I will go to more, don't worry

So I’d like to understand more about what I’m dubbing the “language of honking” haha:) It’s obviously a working process. Which is cool. Do you think that it works 100% of the time? What I’m asking is does the intended target basically always hear the horn that’s intended for them and is therefore able to react appropriately? Or does that one beep intended for that one person actually get lost in the noise most of the time?

[@Gventures]

Yeah I think so because the horns close to you are the relevant ones and what people listen for. The honking goes way deeper than that too. There are different beeps that can be swearing at someone, etc. 😂

The restaurant you went to has very expensive prices, and there are wonderful restaurants in Alexandria that are cheaper and better than this restaurant, such as the Bride of the Sea Restaurant, the Seagull Restaurant, and the Zafiro Restaurant.

Yes I know there are many cheaper and delicious restaurants, that's why I said that in this video. I didn't know medium sized shrimp are better than large sized shrimp. Can I ask why?

@@Gventures Because the meat of large shrimp is old and does not give the real shrimp taste, but medium shrimp tastes delicious and shows the real shrimp flavor. Try medium-sized shrimp and you will notice the difference.

Also, the large algebra is difficult to chew.

[@Gventures]

@@hazemmostafa9227 Hmm. It didn't seem difficult to chew to me. But compared to the smaller shrimp, I guess they could be softer.

Damn, what a tourist rip off! Dude, I’m sorry but Fish market was definitely not the right choice...here’s the golden ticket -> “Zephyr” in El Max (El Max is the fishermen part of Alex). 20 minute bike ride from the Corniche and you eat the real alexandrian seafood. Some restaurants there have their own fishing boats, plus you seat literally in the sea! And prices are definitely not that freakin’ nuts! If you ever get the opportunity, remember “Zephyr” in El Max by the sea. Otherwise another great choice would be “Arous El Bahr” not far from Fish market (in a street behind Ice cream Azza to be precise).

[@Gventures]

Bro you don't need to be sorry, you didn't hear me say I knew it was a tourist trap? After I saw the place it was VERY obvious.

In Düsseldorf 1 Kilo kostet 19€ the biggest

[@Gventures]

Yes the U.S. too. Of course, prices are different in Egypt. But for Egypt (as I live here), it is expensive

[@MarinaTravelz]

Shit that is insane price I am living in Alexandria and we get the kilo of shrimps medium size for 500 Egp from local market and it is fresh and cooked as well. Best local market for that if you are still in Alex is cleopatra Zananiri.

[@Gventures]

I don't want to buy and cook shrimp, I want to eat it at a restaurant. Of course it's cheaper at the market 😆 But there's cheaper restaurants too. If you have any suggestions for that, I'm all ears. But comparing prices with a market isn't relevant, I am not cooking at home, I'm just visiting Alex...

[@MarinaTravelz]

@ no in the local market they will cook it for you no need to cook it by yourself they have kitchens in the fish local market. And rice and salads you take it away and then go on the beach rent a table and. Eat by the sea preferably at the sunset 😍 That is the most local authentic here we 99% of the time not eating seafood at restaurants. We order them cooked and ready from local fish market grilled fried baked as you wish and with sides 😉

[@Gventures]

@@MarinaTravelz I've been to the fish market. They are not cooking it for you there 🤣

[@MarinaTravelz]

@@Gventures don’t go to fish markets they are targeted to suppliers and restaurants not individuals I meant local market (souk) where you get fresh vegetables and fruits from you can search KZbin there are American food reviewers like the food ranger went there and have videos in them. I am eating from the local market ready made seafood on weekly basis 😂

[@Gventures]

@@MarinaTravelz I go to cheap places like Shaaban and they cook the fish for me, not outrageously priced. Of course I went to an extremely touristic place by the sea, I know. I have friends from Alex, so I am not completely ignorant about options, and I have been living in Egypt or 3 years 😅 I think I say it all in the video though. I think I mentioned cheaper places and how I could just take it to the sea. I dunno, maybe I say it in a different video, I've been recording a lot

[@FilthySnob]

i swear when i opened the vid i was pretty sure it will be you eating a ~$5 meal and saying its super expensive xD

[@Gventures]

No $5 would be okay if it was a lot of food. But food can be much cheaper (and should be) here in Egypt. It's just because it's by the sea and super touristy. But there are places near the sea that are more local and cheaper. Or I could have grabbed some seafood and then went down by the sea to eat it. That's what I should have done

[@FilthySnob]

@@Gventures restaurant looked fully booked though

[@Gventures]

@@FilthySnob Yep, with tourists

[@FilthySnob]

@@Gventures food was tasty u said, fresh seafood, the view was decent and clean place, worth the money imo, good luck in the future vlogs.

[@Gventures]

@@FilthySnob You don't need to point out to me the pros or cons, I was there and decided to film and share this, I am aware of where I was and what the benefits were (as well as the disadvantages). I highly value vibe, prices and local experiences. This was lacking the essentials for me.

[@samehhassan2168]

come on its 8 bucks ,when i was in miami nothing was for that price

[@Gventures]

Good God, why are you comparing prices from different countries?

[@samehhassan2168]

@ just because you mentioned it was expensive, when I go to Egypt to visit my family trust me we pay more …anyway have fun 👍🏻

[@Gventures]

@@samehhassan2168 Okay, well the Egyptian friends I have here go out with their families and have nice dinners and pay way less than what this restaurant charges. I just went to a different restaurant with a nice view and it was a lot less expensive. And I think I should mention, I am living here in Egypt, not just passing through as a tourist making tons of the money in the U.S. or elsewhere. But thanks, I am enjoying myself 🙏

[@gogothecraw]

fish market is the worst in Alexandria, try Zephir or Zepherion, or el LOL, or kadoora, you will see the difference

[@Gventures]

Thanks, I did realize as soon as I pulled up and saw the tourist buses that it was a bad idea. But since I was already there I just decided to try it. Can confirm, not worth it, much better places in Alexandria! 🤣 I actually filmed at Kadoura on my last trip to Alexandria in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqTLnqNpe9KNqbc And my first time in Alexandria I filmed at Shaaban near the Corniche: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnLWhqmhi7Rohc0 On my way back to Cairo after Siwa, I plan to pass through Alexandria again and try some other spots. Thanks for the recommendations! 🙏

[@gogothecraw]

@@Gventures I suggest Zaphire you will like it very much

[@Raam-o1j]

♥You must learn Arabic, my friend

[@Gventures]

I am trying, my friend

[@Raam-o1j]

@Gventures But good luck, my dear ♥

[@محمودسمير-خ4ت]

[@Gventures]

I know. That's why the title is what it is 😆

[@محمودسمير-خ4ت]

@@Gventures those are some restaurants for sea food which is more cheaper and better in Cairo, maps.app.goo.gl/pJPzVsJc7oZmXbvT9 maps.app.goo.gl/7KDwMEGFyTbcDpix8

Egyptian here, this is a ripoff, tourist trap.

[@Gventures]

Lol you don't need to be an Egyptian to know that, I say it dozens of times in the video. Read the title of the video 🤣

[@masry465]
