What Makes Moroccan Seafood Cuisine Special

Moroccan seafood cuisine is characterized by mixing traditional spices with fresh fish. Chermoula (a mixture of coriander, garlic, cumin, and lemon) is used to marinate fish.

Best Times to Visit Seafood Restaurants

The best time to eat seafood is at lunchtime (12:00-15:00) when the fish is fresh from the morning catch. Oyster season extends from September to April. It is advisable to avoid Mondays in some areas as fishermen do not go out on Sundays.
