Suq Samak

Stopped by the fish market the other day. It's something we hadn't done in all our time here, but always meant to. The place is massive; the boats just keep coming and coming, unlaoding their catches and then leaving again. Quite an operation. You can find anything here: baby shark, mama shark, tuna, lobster, octopus, along with dozens of varieties of fish unknown to the Cricket. Ruth bought some fresh tuna (cheap!) and I picked up a couple Arabian Sea lobsters, which are slightly different creatures than the ones we're used to in the North Atlantic, but tasty nonetheless.

Bingo. Samak is fish and Suq is pronounced "sook". Can't wait to go back for round two!
