It has been reported that each UAE resident eats over 70 pounds of fish annually and, since 1988, many of the Dubai citizens get their fresh catch from the Deira fish market. This place is hopping with countless workers in identical blue uniforms and flopping with all kinds of fish from the Persian Gulf like these kanaad fish on display. Also known as the narrow-barred Spanish mackerel, they are popular among both recreational and commercial fishermen.
