GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, GOOD FOR YOUR WALLET
Is cost an important factor for you when choosing which fish to purchase? A majority of people surveyed in the UAE said that cost played a big role in their choice of fish.
Did you know that the sustainably fished 'green' species are, on average, just one quarter the price of overexploited 'red' fish? One kilogram of Hamour can cost between AED 30 and 55 at the fish market, whereas the same weight of Naiser or Ebzimi costs less than AED 10!
Our recommended sustainable fish are just as delicious, and can help you save money. Try them today in your recipes.
If you are a UAE diver or snorkeler, you have surely come across these brightly coloured fish in coral and rocky areas. Anfoos are tough, they are able to resist many diseases and can feed on many different types of food. They are also found in the Red Sea. Legend has it the yellow patch on their bodies depicts a map of Africa.
