Top Casablanca picks in detail
La Sqala
[La Sqala](/fish-restaurants/morocco/casablanca/la-sqala) · 4.2 (11,000+ reviews)
A Casablanca institution with huge review volume and a heritage setting. It is not only a “pure fish shack,” but it remains a practical first stop when travellers search best seafood Casablanca and want Moroccan context around coastal fish dishes.
Order: grilled fish of the day, seafood starters, and keep the table focused rather than ordering the entire multi-cuisine board.
Best for: first-timers who want social proof and a memorable room.
Green Black • Marina
[Green Black • Marina](/fish-restaurants/morocco/casablanca/green-black-marina) · 4.7 (9,700+ reviews)
Marina logistics matter in Casablanca. This high-scoring address works when you want a modern seafood-capable table near waterfront energy without defaulting to hotel buffets.
Order: grilled fish, prawns, and lighter starters. Ask what arrived that day.
Best for: marina stays and travellers filtering by rating first.
Le Cabestan
[Le Cabestan](/fish-restaurants/morocco/casablanca/le-cabestan) · 4.2 (6,600+ reviews)
A long-running coastal name many locals and visitors still associate with Casablanca seafood nights — product, setting, and Atlantic mood together.
Order: whole fish when available, shellfish by market price, and a citrus-forward side.
Best for: celebration dinners and visitors who want the coastal classic category.
Rick’s Café
[Rick's Café](/fish-restaurants/morocco/casablanca/rick-s-caf) · 4.2 (6,300+ reviews)
The cinema icon. Use it for atmosphere, then filter the menu for fish rather than treating it as a pure marisqueira. It still belongs on honest shortlists because travellers search it alongside seafood nights.
Order: fish specials and seafood starters; book ahead at peaks.
Best for: one night of Casablanca myth + a carefully chosen seafood plate.
Pepe Luis
[Pepe Luis](/fish-restaurants/morocco/casablanca/pepe-luis) · 4.4 (4,000+ reviews)
A solid mid-list pick with strong scores when you want European seafood manners without full hotel formalwear.
Order: simply cooked fish, prawns, and keep sauces restrained.
Best for: second-night tables after you’ve done the landmark rooms.
Moods Café-Restaurant
[Moods Café-Restaurant](/fish-restaurants/morocco/casablanca/moods-caf-restaurant) · 4.8 (10,700+ reviews)
Highest-rated among current directory peers — useful when review strength is your primary filter and the kitchen can deliver a clean seafood plate.
Order: fish of the day if listed; if the menu is broad, stick to clear seafood items only.
Best for: travellers who trust scores heavily.
