Unique seafood restaurant which you can choose your seafood fresh and we cooked it for you the way you like it and adding our Mediterranean touches. Originally from a port city on the Mediterranean has its reputation of seafood meal we have to meet the high expectations that it comes with the name CANAL.
Le Canal consistently earns praise for fresh, flavorful seafood and the option to handpick fish at the counter before it is prepared to order, with standout dishes like octopus salad, grilled octopus, shrimp, calamari, and dorade, all served in generous portions and well presented. The atmosphere is described as warm and family run, with clean premises and friendly, attentive staff; some reviewers note the service can be slow during peak hours and that seating can be crowded. Many say the quality justifies the price and that the overall experience is enjoyable whether dining in or taking seafood home. There are mentions of Mediterranean and Egyptian influences and the concept of a fishmonger with a casual dining setup. A few reviews caution to check prices in advance and to reserve during busy times. Overall the place is seen as a top seafood spot in the area, recommended for fans of fresh fish and a lively, family friendly vibe.
Finally got my fish & seafood loving family here for dinner ! The food was SO amazing & SO tasty. The grilled fish (salmon & tilapia) was perfection & portions generous. The batter on the fish (& chips) was delicate & delicious so the taste of the fish was the focal point. The octopus salad was really really good (but too much salad dressing) Definitely a new favorite & we will be back to try other things on the menu !

Excellente salade de pieuvre; le Fish & ship était aussi excellent. Première visite : le personnel fut très agréable & courtois car nous ne connaissions pas le fonctionnement des commandes. C'est bon!!! J'aurais dû y aller bien avant! Accessibilité aux fauteuils roulants: c'est au premier plancher mais je ne suis pas certaine que la porte soit assez large, malheureusement. Une fois à l'intérieur, c'est exiguë mais le personnel déplacerait les tables/chaises pour vous laisser passer au comptoir pour faire votre commande, j'en suis certaine!
I ordered to go to try them for thr first time- I found it somehow on the expensive side, thr fish were fresh however they used cumin in most of their dishes which I didn't like on a personal note - so if I will order next time, I will make sure to inform them not to put any cumin. They missed on small fish which was strange, since I ordered 6 & when I reach home it was 5 only. I didn't try the dine in, thr service was ok.
First time & I must say Best seafood in town. Where ever I go I must try the fish & chips being locally or when we travel. Best fish & chips since our last trip to Europe. My wife had the salmon, & it was awesome Their service is amazing, friendly & food is cooked fresh! Highly recommend this place, keep it up !! We will be back.

We ran into this hidden gem by accident & we were tremendously surprised, everything was delicious, we had grilled tiger shrimp (the best I've ever had), fried calamari, fish & chips & salmon, every dish was better than the previous one... great food, great service, impeccably clean & on top of that reasonable prices.
Quaint little seafood restaurant serving fish & seafood at a reasonable price. The decor might not be fancy, but don't let that fool you. The food coming out of the kitchen is what it's all about.

Outstanding, Outstanding, Outstanding!!!!! If you want authentic Egyptian seafood or the best seafood you ever had, this is the place to be. When you walk in, the fresh seafood is right there on the counter over ice, you pick what you want & have it grilled of fried. Grilled or fried, you can't go wrong. The season the fish with wonderful Egyptians spices. I recommend the octopus gilled, the jumbo tiger shrimp & seabass grilled with veg. We also ordered the seafood soup & it was also incredible. The décor is nothing outstanding but who cares, the food is what you are there for. Don't think twice, reserve your spot & go.
The fish is very fresh & their octopus is so tender; It's very good! The service is also excellent. The only downside is that their prices are a bit over..
Fish lovers delight, they can grill, bake, BBQ, & fry your food. Clean place offering tasty sea food, fast service with delicious & affordable choices. You will be satisfied.
