Oysters & seafood at Casablanca's fishing port since 1993
Ostrea is one of Casablanca's most iconic seafood institutions, open at the Port de Pêche since 1993. Founded by an oyster farmer who cultivates his own oyster beds at Oyster Park No. 7 in Oualidia, the restaurant serves some of the freshest molluscs and fish in the city. Diners eat steps from the boats that land the catch, in a setting that mixes port authenticity with a refined table. The menu spans briny Oualidia oysters, grilled Saint-Pierre, Royal shrimps, and a celebrated seafood paella.
Menu highlights
Oualidia oysters (No. 1 and No. 2) — harvested from the owner's own beds in Oualidia lagoon
Seafood paella — prawn, mussel, and shellfish paella prepared to order
Grilled Saint-Pierre (John Dory) fillets
Royal shrimps — large Atlantic gambas, six per dish
