Best Seafood Platter & Soup in Sharm El Sheikh

The Seafood Platter and its mandatory companion, the rich Seafood Soup, represent the absolute bounty of the Red Sea in a single sitting. A Beiruti seafood platter is a massive, colorful assembly of grilled shrimp, calamari, mussels, and various local fish fillets, served with a mountain of rice and a variety of zesty dips. The soup is the secret star—a thick, creamy, or tomato-based broth infused with the natural juices of the catch and seasoned with garlic, lemon, and a touch of secret spice. In Sharm, it is served steaming hot, providing a depth of flavor that only comes from using the freshest possible ingredients. The trap is buying a 'frozen' seafood mix in a generic resort; in this city, if you don't see the shells and the whole shrimp, you're missing the true Red Sea experience.
