Rita Fish Shop

4.6(162 reviews)

About

Found on Malta, Rita Fish Shop trades from 364-374 Triq D'Argens, Il-Gżira, Malta, within easy reach of Sliema and St. Julian's. Buses run across the island, and with no passenger railway and traffic driving on the left, most visitors arrive by bus or car.

Il-Gżira sits on the harbour side of the island, close to Valletta across the water and a short distance from Paceville. It is a seafood counter, selling fish for cooking at home rather than a restaurant setting. The shop's following rests on the freshness of its catch, and the 4.6 out of 5 it holds from 162 reviews reflects that reputation.

Opening hours run from 08:30 to 14:00 on Mondays, 08:30 to 18:00 Tuesday to Friday, and 08:30 to 13:00 on Saturdays.

Maltese and English are both official, so shopping and asking questions is easy for most visitors. Village festas honour patron saints with band marches, processions and fireworks through the summer months. Everyday Maltese cooking leans on ġbejna cheeselets, bigilla bean dip and ftira bread with tomatoes and olive oil, all of which pair well with fresh fish from a counter like this one.
