The New Fish Market Dubai
The fishing trade in Dubai has started since the emirate saw the light - before building architectural features such as Burj Khalifa and Palm Jumeirah for a long time. The fish market in Deira is the largest witness to Dubai history.
Visit the crowded market early in the morning when the fishermen have just gathered their nets. The smell of fresh fish fills the atmosphere mixed with the voices of people and vendors. While the white plates of the various fish caught locally and from neighboring countries such as Oman and India go among the white tiles.
While the market seems chaotic in appearance, chaos is systemic. The market is not only as cheap as anywhere else (bargains are expected) but is also one of the best places to sell sustainable seafood.
The most sought-after fish species in the Arabian Peninsula are Kalhamur, Drak and small sharks. Other species of delicious local fish such as Cherks, Whiskers and Yellow Sharks are also easily found.
