Back to the Fish

Dave has been making fun of me for the last week about that darn expensive Hammour fish.  Tonight, we had UAE locals over for a visit and of course Dave had to bring out the ole Fish story.   Hahahhaha, ya, many laughs at my expense.  "You could buy two of those dresses and a pair of shoes for the price of that fish."   ha.

But, I learned a couple fun facts.  The Hammour FIsh is the most expensive fish in Dubai.  It is pronounced Haam-moooooor (with a roll on the "r"). So expensive, that it has become a common cliche to say of big spenders or men of true wealth, "He is a Hammour."
 
Nice.  That would have been good to know a week ago.

Also, the best part of the Hammour fish, is the meat in the cheek.  Which in my case, got thrown in the trash because I thought it looked a tad repulsive.

  1. Lacey,

    You can come over to Bahrain and eat all the Hammour you want. They would serve Hammour at Long John Silvers if they had one here.
