The service, place, and staff were incredible. People were friendly and kind. The restaurant itself was very modern with Mediterranean style decorations. There is a stand with fresh seafood and then you get to choose how it’s cooked.

As for the food, I was a bit dissatisfied with my order. I ordered a lobster and the waiter told me about the two styles that they cook with; one is without the shell with mushroom cream sauce and the other is with the shell and a sauce. I got the one without the shell, thinking that they’d serve it like any other place, with the tail and claw meat removed and served with a sauce, however I received something resembling lobster Mac and cheese.

I think it was a waste for that fresh lobster to be cooked that way and the cream, mushroom, cheese completely overpowered the delicate lobster meat. It was my last day in Qatar and they had already made it so I didn’t complain; it didn’t taste bad at all but was not what I expected. The salad was awesome though, they made it without onion for me too.

Would recommend it 100%, just be sure to understand the dishes and what they would look like...

If you’re in Doha and love seafood—or just unique architecture—this place is a must-see. The Mina Fish Market surprises you with fresh catches of the day—hamour, shrimp, squid, crabs—and vendors willing to cut or cook for you right on the spot.

What I really liked:

The building itself is stunning—marble floors, bright lighting, stained-glass ceiling panels, and ultra-clean halls. It doesn’t feel like your typical fish market.

Great location in the Mina District near the Corniche, making it easy to include in a walk or sightseeing stop.

Friendly vendors who know their seafood and are helpful when you ask questions.

What to keep in mind:

Go early in the day for the best selection—late afternoon some items are already sold out or less fresh.

It’s best if you’re comfortable selecting seafood or asking about cooking options; prices may vary for premium catches.

In short: Whether you’re shopping for fresh seafood or just want a quick photo stop in a beautifully designed market hall, Mina Fish Market offers a...
