Go to fish market, return with key ingredient for prawn salad
How about you head down to the fish market in Deira early morning, and stock up on salmon and mackerel or even nice, juicy fresh prawns so that you can make a salad you can be proud of? Maybe do an impromptu seafood brunch, have some people over. You get all sorts of regional and imported fish at the daily market. And the mongers are happy to help you choose. Bargain all you can!
At Corniche Deira, Al Ras. Call 800 900 for latest prices. From 6–11:30AM, 4–11:30PM
