📍 Location
Diki port lies on the coast road between Tangier and Ksar Sghir, west of Ksar Sghir, between Zahara / Hatba and Ghojin / Srama beaches. It belongs to the municipality of Ksar Sghir, Fahs-Anjra province. Sitting between two quiet beaches, it’s easy to combine a day by the sea with buying fresh fish.
⛵ A small port with a fisherman’s soul
Diki is a small port where traditional fishing boats head out into the Strait and come back with their catch. Its small size is its charm: a direct link between fisherman and buyer, and a setting where visitors see the fishermen’s day up close. A lovely spot to photograph boats and sea, especially early in the morning.
🛒 Fish straight from the port
At Diki, fish is sold by the port, right after the boats return. The advantage of buying direct: the fish has just come out of the sea, you choose it yourself, and you can ask the fisherman what it is and how to cook it.
- ⏰Ask when the boats come back: that’s the best time to buy.
- 👀Spot fresh fish: bright eyes, red gills, firm flesh.
- 🧊Bring a cool bag in summer to keep the fish fresh.
- 💵Carry cash to make buying easier.
🐟 Fish and season
Diki has the same Mediterranean fish as Ksar Sghir’s port, depending on the season and catch: bluefin tuna in season, sardines, anchovies, sea bream, red mullet, hake, sole, squid and octopus. During tuna season, when bluefin tuna cross the Strait on their migration, the area is especially lively.
