Bahry TV May 31, 2008

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.
Thanks for food, her cooking looks very delicious and you make me very hungry. Now my problem, I am still in work; I can’t leave my work before 4:00 to eat my lunch.
After watching this I think I have to escape now.

Hi Hatem
I guess you should make arrangements for a good lunch to be waiting for you at home

Funny you mentioned Chef Adlah…
Kuwait is very tiny indeed. One, maybe two degrees of separation between everyone.

Indeed MsBaker

Ohhhh! It made me hungry, too! And thank God, we are having the fish kofte for dinner tonight!
Her shrimp look really really good.
==============================
Fish kofte sounds delightful IntlXpatr

I saw this I think last year, it was pretty cool. I wish they made more shows of this kind and gave people more creative freedom to make exciting and different shows. It would be surprising what they would come up with.
I think a Kuwaiti Version of Jackass would do well, and drop them right in the middle of Jahra for some interesting results, (my imagination going wild here)
==================
I think there are many options for people now.

Looks like good stuff to me… then again, I’m admittedly a seafood freak!
============================
Ah Lofter, in Kuwait we have some of the best tasting seafood in the world. Unfortunately, with all the military traffic and oil tankers over the years, the Gulf has been exposed to lots of pollution.
