How the idea generally works
In Egyptian fish markets a visitor chooses from the display and agrees on a cooking method, often at nearby places offering grilling or frying. That is a general description of the experience, not an account of a specific business in Port Said.
Dishes commonly associated with the city include bouri, squid and prawns with simple Egyptian salads. Treat these as examples of local food, not a recommendation of a restaurant or a price.
Before adding it to a crossing day
Confirm the market location and its hours on the day, ask about the price before agreeing to cooking, and do not assume every shop offers the same service. Then decide whether the meal comes before boarding for Port Fouad or after returning to Port Said.
A long meal in the middle of the day compresses the return margin; if your schedule is tight, put it at the end of the programme.
Check the location and opening on the day.
Ask about price and cooking method before agreeing.
Place the meal at the end of the day to protect the return margin.
