About Bu Qtair
Bu Qtair in Umm Suqeim is a no-frills fish restaurant by the fishing harbour — you choose the fish or prawns, and they are fried in a spiced masala.
It began as a shack serving fishermen in the 1980s and now has a simple building close to Burj Al Arab. There is no menu: the day’s catch is priced by weight and served with rice, paratha and a fish curry.
Highlights
