Ranked by TableJourney editorial score.
Hammour is the Gulf grouper, a fish prized across the Persian Gulf states. At ryba in Al Mina the Michelin Guide singles out the locally caught hammour from the charcoal grill.
Hamour is the name for several Gulf fish, notably the goldspotted rockcod, and it is culturally prized across the Persian Gulf states. Seafood has been the mainstay of the Emirati diet for centuries. The Michelin Guide singles out ryba's locally caught hammour from the charcoal grill, a short walk from the Zayed Port fish market. Falwa serves it charcoal grilled with Emirati gazpacho, and Asyak Grill makes a marinated Persian hamour barg, so Emirati and Persian kitchens both cook it.
