A hundred-plus tables that take fish seriously, from ceviche at Girl & the Goose to hand rolls in Alserkal and 77th-floor Asian seafood. Best-rated first.
Seafood in Dubai rarely means a fish shack. More than a hundred restaurants on our index carry the tag, and the highest-rated plates come out of Latin, Japanese, Chinese and Greek kitchens as often as from anywhere with an oyster bar. The Gulf is right there, but the menus pull from everywhere.
Girl & the Goose leads the live ranking with a perfect 5.0, Central American cooking where sea bass ceviche and red snapper share the menu with beef cheek tacos. HISAYA in the Marina holds 4.9 from 3,300 reviews for Japanese seafood and sushi, MOLI by SHI does Cantonese seafood alongside its dim sum, and Kokoro runs a chef-led hand roll counter in Alserkal Avenue. ZETA Seventy Seven serves Asian seafood 77 floors up, Reef & Beef splits the menu with steak, EGE brings Greek and Turkish fish with plate smashing, and Sakhalin sets its table on the beach. Full ranking below.

For a view with the bill to match, ZETA Seventy Seven and Sakhalin. Kokoro works first-come, first-served, so turn up early rather than trying to book.
Ask what's local. Hammour, sultan ibrahim and kingfish come out of Gulf waters, and when a kitchen has them on, they're usually the freshest thing on the menu. The imported showpieces, Japanese bluefin, Mediterranean sea bass, carry the price tag of the flight.
Girl & the Goose leads our live ranking with a perfect 5.0 from almost 1,500 reviews, followed by HISAYA, MOLI by SHI and Nara Thai at 4.9. For a classic seafood room, The MAINE Oyster Bar & Grill and Sakhalin. The list re-ranks as reviews land.
