We used to be skeptical of pescatarians—the ones who say they’re “mostly vegetarian” but make an exception for fish. It felt like a half-measure, almost like they were avoiding a full commitment. "Pick a side," we thought, "either you’re all in or you’re not." But it turns out, we were missing the point entirely.

The pescatarian lifestyle isn’t about choosing sides; it’s about finding balance. This hit us when a pescatarian friend ordered shrimp dynamite as an appetizer. At that moment, everything clicked. Inspired by that first bite, we set out to find the best shrimp dynamite in Cairo. After some serious exploration, here are the top spots guaranteed to deliver that unforgettable experience.
