Danat al Bahar BBQ Fish, Doha

During a recent dinner outing, we visited Danat al Bahar BBQ Fish in Doha, following a recommendation from a friend. This restaurant stands out for its unique offering where diners can select live, fresh fish at the counter, which is then measured by weight. The variety of fish available was impressive, making the selection process exciting.

We opted for Basa and Jash fish. One of the highlights of our visit was the ability to choose the spice level for our fish. After making our selection, we moved to the seating area and awaited our BBQ fish, which took approximately 30 to 45 minutes to be served.

To complement our meal, we ordered fries, which were exceptionally fresh and tasty. We chose a spicy Basa fish weighing around 550 grams and a mildly spiced Jash fish of approximately 500 grams. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, the spicy option is sure to delight.

The restaurant was quite crowded, a testament to its popularity among fish lovers. Given the summer season, the outdoor area was covered, which somewhat limited the city view but still provided a comfortable dining experience. We highly recommend calling ahead to reserve a table to avoid long wait times.
