While flipping through through TV channels last week, I stopped at Bahry TV a “channel dedicated to maritime news features and entertainment.”

Although I have yet to watch it, the Tuesday cooking show Bhar o Bahar (Spices and Sea) was advertised featuring Adlah Al-Sharhan (from Umami cooking school)

I wish the web site would be kept up as well as online information about the show itself. It looks great. See for yourself (it’s in both Arabic and English):

The first part of the clip is shot in Soug El-Simach or the Fish Market (Sharq) and although the fishy smells can be quite overpowering, it is a seafood lover’s heaven. The fish in the very beginning is “meid” which is simply wonderful grilled.

For working couples, it is sometimes not easy to have barbecued fish during the week. One solution some couples resort to is having the fish place in the co-op prepare the fish for you to be picked up at a certain time. Fish places that do that are in Qadsiya and Qurtoba area Co-Ops. You can place an order early in the morning and pick it up in time for lunch.  It may not be as delicious as preparing it yourself but it is better than going without.
