Primus Fish Tirana
Sits within a retail centre rather than on a street, unusual for this line of work.
Fish Trade and Tables Inside a Shopping Complex
Primus pairs a fish counter with a restaurant inside a retail centre in Komuna e Parisit, so what sits on ice and what leaves the kitchen come off the same deli…Primus pairs a fish counter with a restaurant inside a retail centre in Komuna e Parisit, so what sits on ice and what leaves the kitchen come off the same delivery.

FAQ
What are qofte peshku?
The fish version of qofte, the small patties of minced meat eaten all over Albania. Making them with fish rather than lamb or beef is a coastal variation, and it is a good way into Albanian cooking for anyone who does not eat red meat.
Where exactly is Primus Fish?
Inside a retail centre in Komuna e Parisit, a residential quarter southwest of Blloku. Being in a covered complex rather than on a street means parking is straightforward, which is not a given in that part of the city.
Is there a fish counter as well as a restaurant?
Yes, both, working from the same delivery. That is worth knowing if you are self-catering, and it is also the reason the kitchen's stock turns over quickly rather than sitting.
What is prawn saganaki?
Prawns cooked with tomato and cheese, a preparation shared across the eastern Adriatic and the Ionian. It appears on Albanian menus as often as Greek ones, and it is one of the dishes Primus lists by name.
Is Komuna e Parisit far from the centre?
Southwest of Blloku, roughly twenty-five minutes on foot from Skanderbeg Square or a few minutes by taxi. It is a residential district rather than a visitor quarter, which is generally reflected in what things cost.
