Le Saveur du Poisson — Moroccan Seafood, Tangier
Le Saveur du Poisson specialises in seafood prepared with Moroccan and Mediterranean techniques, with a set menu that changes based on the daily catch but usually includes multiple fish courses, salads, and dessert. The restaurant’s approach is directly connected to the Strait of Gibraltar’s fishing tradition: the catch comes in each morning, the menu is written around what arrived, and the cooking reflects the Moroccan coastal tradition at its most direct.
The set menu format at Le Saveur du Poisson — a progression of small fish courses, Moroccan salads, and the seasonal catch prepared in the ways the tradition demands — is the most complete expression of what Tangier’s fishing culture produces at table. Each course reflects a different preparation tradition: the chermoula-marinated fish, the grilled preparations, and the tagine-cooked versions that the Moroccan inland tradition contributes to the coastal cooking.
The Moroccan tea and fresh juices that the restaurant serves provide the non-alcoholic dimension with the care that the tradition demands.
Le Saveur du Poisson is the Tangier restaurant for those who want to eat the fish that the Strait of Gibraltar provides at its most honest and Moroccan: the daily catch, multiple preparations, and the set menu that prevents the decision fatigue of a conventional à la carte format.
