It\u2019s my first time visiting Morocco, and I\u2019m extremely excited to be here and to eat some of the best local Moroccan food around the entire country. We\u2019re starting in Casablanca today with a huge camel bbq and a Moroccan spider crab seafood feast! <\/p>\n<p>A huge thank you to Moroccan Food Tour (https:\/\/moroccanfoodtour.com\/) for arranging my trip to Morocco! <\/p>\n<p>Le Gatsby Restaurant (https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/A9HYNK4BDQbu9oPj7) &#8211; Morning was quite quiet in the city, so we stopped at a restaurant to have Moroccan breakfast, especially khlea with eggs &#8211; preserved beef with eggs &#8211; which was amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Hassan II Mosque &#8211; This is the largest mosque in Morocco and one of the largest in Africa. It was amazing to tour the outside and inside and admire the incredible architecture and how its built over the ocean.<\/p>\n<p>Bakery, Tea, Olives market &#8211; We continued with this Moroccan food tour to one of the oldest bakeries in Casablanca, tried some local Moroccan sweets and tea, and then continued to the olives market.<\/p>\n<p>Grillades Ait Baamrane (https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/YcytNFRPAA26GM9G9) &#8211; Morocco is a meat heaven and we went to the local butchers where you can get camel meat and beef, and everything is as fresh as possible. We got a mix of camel and then went to a grill restaurant where they prepared everything fresh. It was an amazing meal, and all about all parts of the camel.<\/p>\n<p>Central Marketplace &#8211; Morocco is also known for its seafood and next up on this Moroccan street food tour we headed to the Central Marketplace for a taste of the freshest seafood including oysters, mussels, and sea urchin. We also bought some seafood like a Moroccan spider crab and some fish. Inside the courtyard of the market you\u2019ll find dozens of restaurants that cook all the seafood you buy. The spider crab was a highlight! <\/p>\n<p>La Sqala &#8211; Finally just for a quick dessert we headed to the historical La Sqala to try ktefa &#8211; a traditional Moroccan dessert with layers of flaky filo. <\/p>\n<p>Social Media:<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/markwiensfoodvideos<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/migrationology\/<br \/>\nTiktok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@markwiens <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc55 T-shirts: https:\/\/store.migrationology.com\/<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf36 Ghost Chili: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PNTvNQ<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfa5 Camera gear I use: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FVdBUd<br \/>\n(some of these are Amazon affiliate links)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\uddf2\ud83c\udde6 Get ready for the best Moroccan food!
