on the dam: "Fresh fish" Jabal al Awliya' Shopping Tip by uglyscot

Men with baskets of fish for sale can be found on the dam. The varieties available are tilapi [bulti], bayad and catfish. Normally a basket will hold four or 5 large fish and many more smaller ones.

What to buy: Tilapia or bayad

What to pay: 3kg will cost about 40 SDG when skinned and filletted.
