Restaurant in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Book with PearlWhy go
Son of a Fish is a practical Dubai Harbour Bay pick for casual seafood when you want the marina setting without a high-ceremony meal. It is strongest for flexible late lunches or relaxed dinners, with easy booking and daily afternoon-to-late hours, but it is not the obvious choice for a chef-led splurge or award-driven dining plan.
About Son of a Fish
Son of a Fish is a Dubai seafood venue framed as casual harbour dining. The clearest reasons to consider it are simple: a seafood focus, a casual setting, daily hours from 1–11 PM. Beyond that, specific details such as pricing, booking difficulty, chef, menu format, exact location within the city are not confirmed here, so plan around the basics rather than assuming a more detailed brief.
Casual seafood when the night is not finished
For planning, the useful detail is the timing. Son of a Fish opens daily from 1–11 PM, which makes it a flexible option for an afternoon or evening seafood meal in Dubai. It is best understood as casual harbour dining rather than a venue defined by confirmed awards, a named chef, or a published price point.
The strongest use case is a group that wants seafood in a casual Dubai setting. Treat it as a seafood-led casual choice and confirm any finer details directly before you go.

Where to Go If This Is Not the Fit
For a bigger-ticket dinner built around beef rather than seafood, choose Sutēki. For a lighter daytime plan with coffee, pastries, bowls, or crepes, choose Café du Port.
Restaurant context
How It Compares
Son of a Fish is the easier, more casual seafood call when the priority is Dubai Harbour dining without turning the meal into a major production. Sutēki is the better fit for a splurge-leaning night because its Wagyu-focused Japanese steakhouse format is more specific and occasion-led. Pick Son of a Fish for seafood and flexibility; pick Sutēki when beef and a higher-impact dinner are the point.
Café du Port sits in a different lane: breakfast, coffee, pastries, bowls, crepes, lighter daytime eating. It is the smarter choice before or between plans, while Son of a Fish makes more sense for a proper seafood lunch or dinner. Against Mare By Bussola, Fish Beach Taverna, Bussola, the decision should come down to the mood you want: Son of a Fish reads as the lower-friction harbour option, while the Bussola/Fish Beach set is better for readers actively comparing established beachside or Italian-leaning dining plans.
