The tables are full of seafood at the Anfushi Fish Market in Alexandria, Egypt.
Fresh Fish (and other nibbles)
If you want to find the true pulse of a Mediterranean city, head straight to the docks at dawn.
In the historic Anfushi district of Alexandria, the morning air is thick with salt, shouting, and the silver flash of the day’s catch. This isn't a polished tourist stop—it is a raw, vibrant, and essential piece of Alexandrian life. From massive Mediterranean grouper to baskets of shimmering shrimp, the Anfushi Fish Market is where the sea meets the city’s tables.
Watching the local residents haggle for the freshest catch is an experience in Egyptian culture and a feast for the senses. It’s loud, it’s chaotic, and it’s exactly where you’ll find the heart of Alexandria.
