Hamour Orange-spotted grouper · هامور
The Gulf's crown jewel. Thick, sweet white flakes — steamed, grilled, or in machboos.
Today's catch, weighed on honest scales
One board, rewritten every morning by whatever the Gulf gave us. Per-kilo prices set with the dawn — and when it's gone, it's gone.
The daily board
A fishmonger's stall that happens to be a home
There is no shop front, no cold storage and no supplier. There is a villa in Jumeirah 2, an ice box, a scale you can watch, and fish that were swimming at dawn.
Every morning we post the board — species, sizes, per-kilo prices. Some days it's heavy with kingfish; some days the hamour owns the ice. That's what buying from a fisherman means: the sea decides the menu.
Know your Gulf fish
The regulars on our ice
The Gulf gives around thirty species across the year. These are the ones Dubai kitchens ask for by name.
Kingfish Spanish mackerel · كنعد
Fast, oily, full-flavoured. Cut into cutlets for the grill — free of charge.
Shaari Emperor fish · شعري
Firm, clean-tasting flesh that needs nothing more than lemon and fire.
Sultan Ibrahim Red mullet · سلطان إبراهيم
Small, rosy, delicate — pan-fried whole the day they land.
Safi Rabbitfish · صافي
Sweet, light flesh loved across the Gulf — excellent steamed or in rice dishes.
Jesh Golden trevally · جش
Meaty and firm — a fisherman's fish that stands up to spice and slow cooking.
Mixed trays For gatherings & majlis
Feeding a crowd? We'll build a tray to your budget — mixed species, cut how you like, iced for the road.
Whatever landed The season decides
Barracuda, threadfin, squid, crab and other visitors appear when the Gulf sends them. Ask what's on today — the surprise is usually the best part.
Prices are per kilo and set each morning by the catch and the market — every fish weighed in front of you before you pay. Nothing frozen, nothing carried over to tomorrow.

Before you ask
Fresh fish, fair questions
How do I know what's available today?
Message us on WhatsApp any morning for the day's board — species, sizes and per-kilo prices — or come to the villa in Jumeirah 2 and see the ice yourself.
Are prices per kilo?
Yes. Prices are set each morning by the morning's catch and the market, and every fish is weighed in front of you before you pay.
Can you clean and fillet the fish?
Cleaning, scaling, gutting and filleting are free while you wait — tell us how you want it cut and it goes home ready for the pan.
Do you deliver in Dubai?
Yes — ice-packed, anywhere in Dubai. Message your order on WhatsApp and we'll confirm the timing for your area. Collection at the villa is always free.
How fresh is the fish, really?
Everything is caught by our boats in the Arabian Gulf and landed the same day it is sold. Nothing is frozen and nothing carries over — when the day's board is gone, it's gone.
Straight from the boat
The board is written at dawn. Be first to read it.
