Fish Hut Restaurant in Oud Metha offers a straightforward, no-frills seafood dining experience centered on freshness and choice. This is the kind of spot where you pick your fish first—whether it’s red snapper, pomfret, or seabream—and then decide how you want it cooked, from pan-grilled to tawa fry, complemented by sauces like lemon or peri peri. The menu leans heavily on classic seaside flavors, including standout dishes like fish and chips, crab roast, and a variety of grilled prawns.

The atmosphere is casual and unpretentious, focusing more on the quality of the seafood than on elaborate decor. It’s a compact space without the usual fishy smells, which is notable for a seafood place, and staff are friendly and attentive, often helping diners navigate the menu and suggesting cooking styles or flavor pairings. This personal touch makes the experience accessible, even if you’re not a seafood aficionado.

Fish Hut is well-suited for straightforward lunch or dinner outings where fresh, well-prepared seafood is the main draw. Locals and visitors who appreciate generous portions and straightforward preparation will find it satisfying. The practical setting means it’s a solid choice for casual meals when you’re nearby, particularly if you want quick, tasty grilled seafood without much fuss.

Given the menu’s focus—fresh fish by weight, grilled shellfish, and simple rice sides—it’s best visited when you’re craving seafood in a relaxed setting. The presence of cold soft drinks and non-alcoholic options fits well with this casual vibe. This is less about leisurely dining and more about enjoying fresh catches prepared in familiar, comforting ways.

Been craving for some seafood so tried this place in oud metha, ordered the breaded fish (red snapper), prawn platter (lemon & herb and peri peri flavor) and egg fried rice. the quality of everything was fresh and the taste was absolutely delicious!

The place is clean and does not smell like old fish. It actually smells nice which is surprising for a sea food restaurant. The fishes are really fresh, and the way they are prepared deliciously. I particularly enjoyed their Lemon sauce. The server was very helpful with which fish to choose and explained how to use the menu. Also very attentive and friendly during our stay in there. I really loved their Lemon sauce.

We were roaming the neighborhood for something to have for lunch and saw this tiny place, you can choose your fish and they cook it the way you want. We had two different kinds of fish and some grilled prawns, the waiter gave us recommendations on what sauce to use for each different fish and we took his recommendations, everything was perfect!! The fish is greatly cooked, the sauce is very generously spread on the fish to give maximum flavor ! It was accompanied with some fresh cut vegetables and wheat parota bread. On the door of the restaurant, you can clearly see it was voted hidden gym of Dubai in 2018. Im glad they are still maintaining very good quality and taste all those years later. Bravo

Fresh tasty, unfussy seafood and generous portions - What more could you ask for! Calamari was perfectly cooked and sea bass was extremely fresh with multiple cooking and seasoning options (including half and half). Highly recommend.

Was there as per the google reviews. Did not disappoint. The cashier/ attender was so friendly and most importantly very patient. The Seabream Tawa fry- A bit juicy as suggested by the attender was awesome. It would have been great if they have some rotis or such other than rice.
