The National Fish of Q8

The other day we went to Sharq Fish Market and had a chance to take few pictures. Few pictures were of the national fish of Kuwait call Zubaidi (Pomfret in English).


The Zubaidi / Promfret


The national fish of Q8

It taste just tooooo good, when prepared the true Kuwaiti way, grilled with all the amazing spices that are so popular in the Kuwaiti culture.

The fish markets here in Kuwait are just too clean , something which is unimaginable in India / Assam. Air conditioned, neat, spotlessly clean is something unbelievable back home. So when people from home visits us Jeet takes them to show the fish markets here. They too enjoyed buying fish here.

Here are some more pictures I took in the Sharq Fish market.......

Bangladeshi Market,Fahaheel,Q8


Bangladeshi Market at Fahaheel is popular among non-vegetarians, especially for the fish market. The fish comes from Bangladesh and you will get all type of river fish here. During the winter, you get fresh one, which comes on Thursday night and by Friday morning it’s all finish. So you need to go early in the morning to get them. There are lots of big, clean fish markets in Kuwait but they are of sea fish.

Of course, we do buy from there but the sea fish’s smell while cooking it is not at all pleasant so we are not very regular at consuming them except for the prawns which are my favorites. Actually in our floor at our building we are four families. All are vegetarians except us. So we feel little guilty though they have never told or complained about the non-vegetarian smell. I myself find the sea fish smell so very fretted that I don’t want my nice neighbors to feel miserable because of it.



The Bangladeshi market consist of small shops where you will get all types of river fish(frozen), different types of Indian vegetables, spices and groceries that mainly Indians and Bangladeshi’s use. So if you are an Indian or Bangladeshi and need anything special that’s the best place. It’s near Max at Fahaheel. Another such market is there at Kuwait city.


The place is congested and remains over crowded with foodstuff and sometimes people/customers mainly during the weekends. You will not enjoy the pleasure and delight of marketing at a big shopping center or mall here, but this place is worth a visit if you like river fish. So you can give a try.
