Seafood Restaurants in Mumbai

If you’re craving seafood in Mumbai, you’re in for a treat that goes way beyond just fish and chips. The city’s seafood scene is a living, breathing part of daily life here. Fish markets like the one at Sassoon Dock still see fishermen unloading their catch at dawn, and spots nearby serve the freshest pomfret or bombil you’ll ever taste.

If you want something casual, try the stalls at Versova or the fish thali at Gajalee in Vile Parle. On the other hand, if you’re up for a well-curated, slightly upscale meal, places like Trishna in Fort or Mahesh Lunch Home in Juhu have been serving locals since forever, and they know their prawns and crab like no one else. A little tip? Go for the monsoon season when the Bombay duck and surmai are in their prime. Oh, and don’t miss out on the street food by the docks,koliwada fried fish and crab are absolute musts.

You'll find most seafood joints tucked away in neighborhoods by the sea or near old fishing hubs. What I love about seafood in Mumbai is its simplicity,you’ll often get it grilled or fried with minimal fuss, letting the sea's fresh flavors shine through. And hey, if you’re unsure about picking from a long menu, ask for the catch of the day. They usually have something worth trying.
