Almost no one talks about Fish Market in Terminal 3
Terminal 3 has a restaurant called Fish Market, but it barely shows up in traveler reviews, blogs, or forums. It sits airside in CAI’s main international terminal, so you’re seeing it on the departures side, not landside. With so little public feedback, think of it as a backup option inside T3 rather than a destination you plan your 3‑hour layover around.
Terminal 3 at Cairo International Airport handles most EgyptAir and Star Alliance departures, and Fish Market is listed in this terminal only. You’re dealing with typical airport pricing here, not downtown Cairo seafood house prices, so expect mains to run higher than what you’d pay in the city. If you’re already past security in T3 and don’t want to walk back toward the food court near the central concourse, this can save a few extra minutes of wandering.
Because there are zero reliable online menus or photos for Fish Market at CAI, don’t bank on a specific grilled fish or shrimp dish being available. The name strongly suggests seafood, but it may share suppliers and prep space with other Terminal 3 outlets, which often means generic mixed grills, sandwiches, and simple salads. If you have strict dietary needs or allergies, assume staff might not have detailed ingredient lists the way a big international chain at Gate F or G would.
There are no consistent reports on opening hours, but Terminal 3 flights run late into the night, with EgyptAir departures often after 23:00. That usually pushes restaurants here toward long or near-24‑hour schedules, though smaller outlets sometimes close between 01:00 and 04:00. If your flight leaves around 03:30, eat earlier in the evening at another T3 spot near your gate and treat Fish Market only as a last‑minute option if you see it open.
Tip: walk the Terminal 3 concourse once, check prices and actual dishes at Fish Market in person, then commit; with so little real intel online, a two‑minute look can save you from an expensive guess-meal before your CAI departure.
