^ UAE at number 6 is not a surprise, they love their fish there, many of the local dishes are fish based. I think they are only few of the arab countries that love fish and sea food

Thank you for the map. Interesting. But can the information be trusted?

And yes, no surprise to see that UAE is the Arab country that east most fish. Although only 20 percent of the population is Arab today they have a long tradition of eating fish. Most of all Arabs. In Oman it is also eaten in coastal areas.

In Hejaz fish is also fairly popular but it is more expensive than meat so people buy less but there are good Hejazi fish dishes.

In Iraq one of the national dishes is Masguf - one of the oldest dishes in the world.

It is very tasty.
