If you want REALLY fresh (watch the fisherman bring them in that morning) seafood, head to the fish vendors along the port.
They let you pick out your catch and then prepare it for you right there.
Sit on picnic tables, breath in the sea air and enjoy!
Favorite Dish: The crab was great. As was the shrimp and everything else we ordered.

The open air fish kiosks are a must for a fresh fish lunch. And by fresh, I mean fresh. You select the raw ingredients and they cook it there in front of you. I hear that hygiene was once a problem, but that it's been tightened up some. I had no problems and excellent meal of sardins, squid and prawns.

My friends and I had an inexpensive dinner here, and enjoyed it. We dined outside, under the awning. Vegetable tagine was only 30 DH, and couscous was 50 DH.

This touristic restaurant is interesting, because it is long narrow room and people sit on both sides across from each other. We had tajine as usually :-)

Look at goats climbing up the tree near Essaouira. You can see it only in Morocco. Unforgettable. And please don't ask me if pigs fly in Morocoo :-).
