Hosam sent me this video about the Giant Hamour in the Persian Gulf. Nobody really knows if the fishes are raised in industrial fish ponds or they’re in the wild.
Hamour is the largest coral dwelling fish that can only be found in and around the Persian Gulf. Arabs cook Hamour in all forms like stewed, grilled or fried. It is a highly prized delicacy here in the Kingdom and it would cost SR. 28.00 per kilo.
I really don’t know the Filipino term of Hamour but the English name of Hamour is Brown Spotted Red Cod. Hamour has a pale green – gray body covered with small circular brown dots but the belly is lighter in color. I tried frying Hamour and its color changed to orange. The flesh is very white, juicy and delicious.
